We have been hearing some grumblings up here in Winter Park that the restaurant Lime in the Winter Park Village is not going to open back up for this ski season. The whispers have been saying that there are liens placed against the property from restaurant construction and that the rent is passed due. Hope the rumors are not true but since we are hearing specifics I think that they just may be.
Lime opened as one of the first two restaurants in the Winter Park Village along with the Cheeky Monk this past February. The times we dined or drank at Lime the offerings were good, especially their $1 taco Tuesday promotion. Margaritas were also very good and the happy hour was a good deal. Problems I saw were with the cold/heat and a lack of a vestibule when entering the restaurant and service was darn slow on a few weekends this summer. The design of the open kitchen was probably not the greatest idea either for a down and dirty Mexican food eatery.
Anywho, I will miss the Pacifico and tequila shot after a long day on the slopes.
Anyone else hearing the grumblings about Lime, Winter Park? Any word of a replacement eatery? Let us know in the comments below.
To those who have never visited, the Pub probably seems to be a pretty standard bar. Beer, pizza, flat screen TVs for Monday night football…but what you may not know is that the beer is an ever changing selection of local brews, the pizza is incredible homemade deep dish, and you can have that pizza for free while you’re watching Monday night football on the flat screens. Still not convinced? Then head over to the Pub on Taco Tuesday for $1.00 tacos, or on just about any Friday or Saturday to check out some great live music.

Intrawest Resort has just announced that it will be instituting a new program to encourage all skiers and riders to wear their helmets. All children’s lesson programs will require the kids to wear helmets for class. This mandatory helmet requirement also extends to all children, regardless of age, participating in the freestyle terrain programs. Fantastic if you or the kids already sport a helmet, but don’t fret if you don’t have that on you equipment list yet. The ski school is including a helmet rental in the cost of your kid’s lesson. Kudos to Winter Park for realizing the importance of protecting your head. All of the WPLCO staff are proud to wear our helmets so we can continue to serve our guests.
