   5-Star Review for Limani Mediterranean Restaurant If you're looking for an authentic Greek dining experience, Limani Mediterranean Restaurant is a must-visit! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with exceptional service that set the tone for a memorable evening. We started with the octopus and Kolokithi, both of which were absolutely phenomenal. The octopus was perfectly grilled, tender and full of flavor, while the Kolokithi (fried zucchini) was a standout—crispy, light, and served with a unique presentation that added an extra touch of elegance. For the main course, the swordfish was cooked to perfection—very juicy, and seasoned beautifully. The Moussaka, a true Greek classic, was absolutely divine, with layers of rich flavors and the perfect balance of textures. Overall, Limani offers an unforgettable taste of Greece, with dishes that are both traditional and thoughtfully executed. Highly recommend this gem for anyone craving exceptional Mediterranean cuisine!

   The view was amazing and the service was outstanding. The food was exquisite, however, the igloo was freezing. It would’ve been nice if it were pre-warmed prior to our arrival. Maybe to 58 (ish)degrees. Our waitstaff and server did bring in heaters but for some reason they didn’t work or couldn’t bring the igloo to a comfortable temperature. They really tried but my fingertips were ice cold. We moved inside and it was better and everyone was so gracious. However. It would have been nice to enjoy the experience outdoors. We will dine here again, just indoors. The seafood tower, tuna and lobster pasta were amazing and so were the drinks

   Extremely disappointed. We reserved igloo and was told it was heated. Very small heater, we were freezing. Ridiculously overpriced!!! Bill included kitchen staff fee and other charges on top of already overpriced bill. Food was less than mediocre. Save your money!!! Not worth it!!

   Took my wife for brunch on her birthday. Staff was very friendly. Manager came to table to make sure everything was good. The drinks were especially good. Service was quick and tentative. I plan on revisiting and if you haven't been to Limani and highly recommended a visit. My next visit will be during dinner.

   When we arrived at the reception, there were two hosts and no one else waiting. They took a few minutes to acknowledge us and eventually directed us to the PH floor, which I assumed would be the best seating. Unfortunately, I was wrong. The third floor was disappointing. We were greeted by a bar area with plastic chairs and tables without tablecloths—nothing like a fine dining experience. We were seated by a window with no view, and the entire area felt neglected. We were the only ones seated there, which made it awkward. The DJ was packing up his equipment, and a server was cleaning tables with ammonia, which gave both my wife and me splitting headaches due to our allergies. The menus were also dirty and worn out, adding to the unpleasant atmosphere. I went to the restroom, hoping for a moment of respite, but it was shockingly dirty—one of the worst I’ve seen in a restaurant. On my way back, I peeked at the second floor and was stunned by the stark difference: elegant tables with white tablecloths and a peaceful atmosphere. It was everything the third floor was not. Frustrated, I returned to my wife, and we decided to leave. On our way out, the two hosts didn’t ask if everything was okay. We went next door to Hell’s Kitchen, where the difference was night and day. From the warm welcome to the exceptional food and service, it was everything Limani failed to deliver. Sadly, Limani did not live up to its fine dining reputation. The poor atmosphere on the third floor, dirty menus, and lack of customer care made this a disappointing experience we won’t repeat.
