Excerpt:

Presidential candidate Bernie Sanders is a fan of fish. And after long and loud rallies, he prefers nice and quiet environments to enjoy his meals. It’s what led Sanders to dine at the Lime Lite Restaurant Lounge in northwest Fresno before leaving town Friday night following his spirited rally at Fresno City College.

“He ate healthy, ordered the Parmesan-crusted petrale sole,” Lime Lite general manager Clint Peylouret said. “A lovely lady in his group had done extensive research to find the best and friendliest place to eat in Fresno. And that led her to finding the Lime Lite.

“He was a pleasure to have as a guest here.”

Though Sanders oftentimes enjoys being “amongst the people,” he spent his Fresno dinnertime simply eating alongside his wife Jane O’Meara Sanders and unwinding with his party of 12, which consisted of his staff. The Lime Lite sat Sanders’ group in their banquet room to keep them separate from the crowded part of the restaurant. Nonetheless, word spread quickly that Sanders was there.

“Even though Fresno is a predominately conservative area, it was nice to see how excited everyone got when they found Bernie Sanders was eating here,” Peylouret said. “He and all his staff were friendly. And he tipped well.”
