    A Dining Experience to Remember! From the moment we walked into Limani, we were greeted with warm smiles and a sense of genuine hospitality that set the tone for an unforgettable evening. The ambiance was inviting, with a perfect balance of elegance and comfort, but it was the staff and service that truly elevated our experience to another level. Every member of the team was exceptionally friendly and professional. Carlos had an impressive knowledge of the menu and took the time to make thoughtful recommendations. His passion and dedication to our satisfaction was evident in every interaction. The food was nothing short of spectacular. Each dish was a work of art, bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. From the appetizers to the desserts, every bite was a testament to the kitchen’s skill and creativity. But what made the meal truly special was how effortlessly the staff anticipated our needs. They refilled drinks without being asked, timed each course perfectly, and even surprised us with a small complimentary treat when they learned we were celebrating a special occasion. It’s rare to find a restaurant where both the food and service excel at such a high level, but Limani has mastered the art of hospitality. By the end of the evening, we were already planning our next visit. If you’re looking for an extraordinary dining experience, this is the place to go. We can’t wait to return!

    One Michelin Star (and all that implies) with two prix fixe selections and alacarte menu. (1) Self select 4 items from 4 groups, $90) or (most) Chefs Selection 7 items plus desert ($150). We did Chefs Selection, excellent flavors and great value. The last dish was an aged duck breast dish with all typical Indian sides (Naan, rice, curry dipping sauces). The cocktail menu and wine list were amazing. Easily worth
