Food was very tasty. We had food 3-4 times from there during our stay and was our favorite food outlet. Service was very slow at times. Wish we could have placed a pre-order online or by phone to take back to our suite.

Closed. They closed it after Labor Day. I think they had the best staff and the best kitchen on property, but it is now closed for at least the next year.

We are so excited that we have Sunseekers right in our backyard!!! we gave them time to try them out a few months after opening. The food was amazing, the presentation was eye candy. The drink selection was great. Full bar and exciting to see what everybody was ordering. We did not partake in the table side guacamole, but we will definitely do it the next visit. The location is stellar, and the vibe is exactly what you would expect. But here we go, they lock in service from the front reception desk to the food service. The bartender seem to be overwhelmed and understaffed. They're not being lazy. They're literally running around trying to serve everybody. I am a firm believer that give it another couple of months and I got to have the service down. We plan to return in May.

Went here with a couple friends for an early dinner. Restaurant opens at 5, so we were there just after 5 because we did not have reservations. The food and service were both very good. Everything was timely. We had the table-side guacamole, but they didn't prepare it table-side. It was still very good. Entrees were very good. Two orders of Fish Tacos, an order of Carne Tacos and one very large Burrito. No one went home hungry. Worth a try.

I honestly had very low expectations for a "Modern Coastal Mexican" restaurant in Port Charlotte. Full disclosure, I have eaten phenomenal food in Mexico and it's not easy to find authentic cuisine in the States outside of large metropolitan areas. That is not the case with Blue Lime. It is VERY authentic. Mole is one of the most difficult dishes to make. It takes skill, care and great patience. There's was bursting with that deep rich taste that is only achieved at the hands of a skilled chef or an abuelita. Drinks were great, service was 5 star(special mention to David), guacamole was superb and Tres Leche dessert was equally authentic, not fussy and not fancy. To the person who gave a one-star review, but never tasted the food and only stepped foot in the restaurant to discover a 1 and 1/2 hour wait and then leave it's not only very unfair to the restaurant, but it is also disrespectful and rude. In my opinion, it is not a valid review.

The ambiance was so peaceful and pretty! I loved the solo guitarist, it played through the speakers in the restaurant and it was beautiful! Speakers slightly louder than needed in that atmosphere. Iziah was wonderful!!! He is so kind and attentive. He helped us go over the menu and answered any question we had. Joey is also wonderful! So knowledgeable on tequila, he could tell you when where and what barrels every tequila is made with it's actually insane to know that much but he's lovely. The food wasn't bad ! Def authentic Mexican so be prepared. Loved the apps , im limited on what I can eat (only fish) and the Yucatán shrimp was 6/10 for me personally.

Had a 6:45 reservation on a Thursday and they seated us immediately. It's a very nice and modern space with a cool bar and outdoor seating. It is quite loud but that doesn't bother me a bit if the food is good. Chips and salsa were outstanding. I couldn't get enough of those chips because they were nice and salty and I loved that. The salsa was so much better than I have gotten in years in a Mexican restaurant. Our server Anthony from Jamaica was incredible. Enjoyed his interpretation and personal favorites on the menu. I would definitely ask to sit in his area. Extremely personable but not over the top. We had the snapper tacos to start. They were tasty and I especially liked the pickled onions. They are definitely an appetizer and not an entree. I had the Yucatan shrimp with crispy onions and cilantro lime rice and my partner had the beef barbacoa burrito with rice and black beans. I clearly had the winning dish. The shrimp was a generous portion and worth the 32 dollars. Shrimp were huge and cooked perfectly with a delicious mojo sauce and crispy onions along with the tasty rice that had great textures and the sauce made that dish sing. Outstanding! My husband's burrito was fine but the tortilla had somewhat of a bready texture, not at all like a tortilla and there was a spice in it that I did not care for. Couldn't identify it and I have been to Mexico over 20 times. My husband liked it fine. He enjoyed his beer but I felt like that wine pour was definitely chintzy for 13 bucks. It was a delightful evening and an asset to the area. But once again, my dish was the clear winner!!! For whatever reason my photos aren't loading due to the glitches cellphones have had today, but I will add them as soon as this issue is resolved. Enjoy!
