Lime

My partner and I have been itching to try this place for a few months and are SO glad we did. All of the food was incredible, with unique blends of flavors. We had the salmon and daily catch special and both blew us away with their creativity and presentation. The waitstaff was extremely kind and helpful!

Food and drinks were absolutely delicious!! The chef puts a stunning twist to each one of her menu items and they are incredible. I order salmon pretty regularly at restaurants but the salmon dish here was PHENOMENAL. Skin was crispy and the sweet potato/watercress salad was delightful. Such a fantastic dish I didn’t take a photo until after I started eating. Other amazing dishes we tried include the sweet & soy wings, roasted shrimp w/ garlic brown butter, and the Lime burger. Favorite drinks so far are Lime Cosmo, Lemondrop, and the mead options! The cocktails all taste great so you can’t go wrong. I’ve been twice already and can’t wait to go again!

Beautiful space with welcoming staff. The menu is filled with the familiar and the new. The wings are a symphony of flavor and the lime burger could easily be at home at an expensive steak house. Like steak on a bun. Great wine list with some interesting wines you won’t find elsewhere in the neighborhood. They even have mead. The cocktail list was a real surprise. Excellent selection of spirits and thoughtfully designed cocktails. Lime is definitely going to be a place I go to regularly!

Lime gets my flavortown award 🏆! Each dish was just incredible. You can tell the menu was well thought out. The ingredients were fresh and the flavors bold. I recommend trying as many things off the menu. The wings were my favorite and the seared tofu a must try. Definitely worth a visit.

"To 'Lime' in Trinidad is to spend time, play and eat with family and friends, to appreciate your surroundings and ties and to celebrate life."

The quote above is taken from Lime Chelsea, a wonderful addition to the Chelsea waterfront neighborhood dining scene! Petal Joseph, owner and executive chief, has created an upscale delectable international fusion menu rooted in flavors from Trinidad that truly delights and satisfies. For course 1 my partner and I ordered the potato crips and spicy tofu vegetable soup, both of which were excellent. Course two included the Curry Cauliflower and Chana, Uncle Andrew Salad and Basmati Rice as well as the Seared Tofu, Balsamic Onion, Carrots, Radish and Greens. Both were elegantly presented, at perfect temperature and utterly delicious! I still find myself daydreaming about the taste of the Seared Tofu two days latter! We rounded off our dinner with mango sorbet and chocolate mousse, which were the ideal concluding taste notes to what was an overall Chelsea Lime symphony of palate, presentation, ambiance and service!

We left filled, but with no leftovers. Portion sizes are reasonable, but not excessive. Their bar is also notable, with a thoughtfully curated wine, cocktail and specialty drink menu.

In short, Lime Chelsea is a one-of-a-kind upscale neighborhood restaurant. All dishes are handmade and high quality ingredients, which was evident from our dining experience. While we imagine Lime Chelsea will become a regular destination for local residents, it is also a destination dining experience worthy of a commute or drive. Parking is available on Winnisimmet St as well as Broadway in Chelsea, MA. There are also public lots beneath the Tobin bridge within a 2.5 block walking distance to Lime Chelsea. If you are looking for a new restaurant to try we highly recommend Lime Chelsea--it will surely live up to it's namesake!
