   Beautiful space and Greek food - a very strong start. But pretty bad after that. Our second time here - 1st was when it was pretty new and it was fine, but figured we should give it a second chance. Unfortunately, it was much worse. Zucchini appetizer - tzatziki was very good but zucchini/eggplant was soggy and needed salt. We ate about 1/2. The calamari was just bad - extremely chewy and also under-seasoned. We left more than 75% of it on the table. And both appetizers arrived well before our cocktails. Despite not eating most of them, no one asked us if everything was OK or how we liked the food - we had even talked earlier with the server about main courses, so we were surprised at the lack of concern, especially when we requested for our check and left early to go eat somewhere else. Extremely disappointing evening. I would recommend staying away and spending your money elsewhere.

   I wanted to thank our waitress, Sandra she was an absolute delight. She was very tentative and took care of us very well. Our night was so much better because of her and the amazing service she provided. Also, wanted to thank Aaron and the rest of the team. The night was truly special thanks to your team and the kindness and service they put forth. We will most definitely come again. It was such a great vibe. Love this place and love the team! Thank you Sandra so much!

   Tonight was wet and windy in DC. We left our last museum at 5:30pm. Our dinner reservation was not until 7pm. We walked to the restaurant thinking at a min we could dry out and have a pre dinner drink at the bar. When we arrived we explained that we were an hour early for our reservation but without a fuss we were seated immediately. The service was faultless. Our waiter was a bartender doing double duty. He was knowledgeable about the drinks (duhh) and the food and able to answer all of our questions - and my husband asks lots of questions. He oversaw service and was attentive without being bothersome. Our food was delicious. We ordered a variety of foods and were happy with everything we ate. Highly recommended this spot for a great meal with a loved one, good friend or family.

   Limani is really nice. The ambiance and setting is really set up nice. Me and my sister went out for Galentines and sat on the third floor. It was freezing cold and another group of people were there who were extremely loud and it was not pleasant. The food was pretty good especially the oysters and mussels. The staff was extremely pleasant and very caring. They even gave me a blanket bc I was soo cold. Overall I’ll give it a 5/10

   My husband and I enjoyed the food and ambience. Our waitress was attentive and professional! We weren’t thrilled with the ADDITIONAL charges added to our bill. There was an additional 4% charge and an additional 16% charge which are explained on the bill. These charges are before you add 20% gratuity.

   The food was delicious! The brunch selection was plentiful and too much to enjoy in one visit. So I will definitely be coming back. The ambiance was chic, and the view of the Potomac makes for a wonderful backdrop. The servers were attentive, pleasant, and professional. I rate the experience a 10/10 and look forward to dining here again!

   Excellent! I will say however, be aware of the cuisine. It is Mediterranean style so don’t expect the typical menu. The menu offered everything we could want, from seafood to prime steaks and fresh fruit. The staff was on par with refilling mimosas. The ambience is perfect!

   The brunch and bottomless was great! The service and our waitress was awesome! I love the way the tables are setup. Me and my wife was able to mingle with a couple sitting next to us just socializing, making conversation about the ambience and brunch.

    (Management Dropped the ball) Came here on Valentine’s Day, and the restaurant completely botched reservations, creating chaos. Despite our 10 PM reservation, we weren’t seated until 11 PM—after hassling the overwhelmed receptionist at least 3 times. And the main course? It didn’t arrive until 12:45 AM. A ‘five-course dining experience’? Laughable. The appetizers were pathetic—basic hummus, a poorly cut bargain-bin tomato salad, and oysters without proper dressing. The main course? A forgettable rosemary steak, I could make just as well at home. The only saving grace was our kind waiter, whom we tipped generously. But this place? An absolute RIP-OFF.
