Came in on a rainy night at 11:30 PM. The website said they were open until midnight. All my wife and I wanted was a nightcap. Empty seats at the bar, bartender was mixing drinks for other people, we were turned away. For all I know, this may be a great place, but they will never see any business from us. read more

If I could give this restaurant 6 stars I would! To start, the staff was so attentive and professional. The inside of the restaurant is decorated beautifully, with an overall white Mediterranean feel and a water pool with reflecting blues and purples on the ceiling. We ordered the octopus and zucchini and eggplant for appetizers and then a Greek salad to start (the most tasty tomatoes I have ever had). For our main course, we ordered the sea bass and got to go up to the freshly picked fish on the ice and pick it out ourselves!! Such a unique and fun experience. All of the food was absolutely delicious - definitely recommend the baklava for dessert! read more

Food was great. Grilled Bronzino with lemon caper butter - classic, clean, and light. Grilled Filet (for my non-fish eating co-diner) was tender and cooked to order. Spanakopita app was delicious and the dob of whipped tzatziki was a surprise. Setting is upscale. Only negative was the waiter/chef/expeditor guy who took my order - pretty aggressive on the up-selling. His food choices were great, but I'm not used to a car salesman approach to dinner. All in all, try it. Very nice place. read more

Went for a quick lunch in between work and love their outside seating. The grilled octopus is amazing and same for their yogurt. I got chicken breast and it was great as well. Would love to come back for seafood entree sometime! read more

Never got to eat. Sat immediately, appetizer was great. Waited an hour for lunch and had to return to my office for a meeting. It took the manager 10 minutes to come over, after we had expressed concern several times about the time. Unfortunate-nice price fixed lunch menu read more

We were brought here for a business lunch today. The place is an elegantly modern designed space in white. We ordered their tower of fried zucchini chips to start. And they also provided complimentary grilled bread. We all ended up ordering from their lunch prefix menu for $27.50/person. This was a great value given you got an appetizer salad (I ordered a tomato salad that was nice and fresh), an entree (I had their fish of the day which was fresh and perfectly prepared), and then a dessert (I had lavender ice cream with this Mediterranean cake, it was a bit sweet). Service was a little off as they couldn't get their seating down and kept mixing up who ordered what. Other than that, the staff were very attentive. The place seemed very popular as it got packed soon and became pretty loud. However, not too loud you couldn't hold a conversation. This place was a great lunch spot given the prefix menu. However, the dinner prices were significantly higher. read more

My best friend and I randomly found this spot on our way to another place. Once we stepped in we both knew we would love this place. The service was amazing, they were attentive and gave us recommendations on what to get. The staff was the best. Definitely one of my favorite spots in NY. read more

I just recently went to Lamini with 10 of my friends to celebrate my birthday. The staff at Limani was accomodating from making the reservations right up to the actual dinner. My friends and I were doing a scavenger hunt in the city at 3pm and our dinner reservations was at 5:30pm the hostess allowed us to leave our gifts and sweaters at the restaurant while we did the Scavenger Hunt throughout the city. The hotel does have a dress code (but they were accomodating and understanding of our circumstances). Now onto the restaurant, best words to describe Limani is elgant, sophisticated upscale restaurant with amazing ambience and staff. We ordered from the prefix menu and some additional sides. The serving sizes seems small (as normally is for fine dining restaurants), but because the prefix consist of 3 courses it is pretty filling with 2/3 additional sides to share. The service is impeccable, the decor is breathtaking and the bathroom was fresh and clean (that's of extreme importance for me in giving a good grade). Limani is a great restaurant for that special occasion (birthday, anniversary, bridal shower etc.) I highly recommend Limani. read more

Walk into a bright white nicely appointed dinning room. The only problem was they would not sit me until my guest arrived. I want to sit and relax with a glass of wine but was forced to stand in the entrance while guests entered and left the restaurant. Once we were seated it got better. The service was excellent and the food very good; most important the lunch menus is reasonably priced and will keep me coming back. I had a wonderful greek salad and fish of the day that was grilled and lightly seasoned with olive oil, capers and garlic. My guest had delicious scallops and a generous portion of chicken kabob with fries. And dessert is included too! The price point and food quality will keep me coming again and again! read more

This is one of the best deals in town for a business lunch. Inexpensive and delicious seafood. Worth the supplement for the octopus. One of the best I've had. Beautiful decor. Large space. Easy enough to get a reservation. read more

Terrible service. We had reservations made through opentable. When we got there they sent us to the bar to wait. We waited 30 min and had to remind them that we were waiting. They then sat us down 20 min later sat another couple next to us, took their order 10 min after that and never took our order. We left after waiting an hour. Once we left they canceled our reservation on open table to avoid a negative review. read more

Unbelievable. That in a nutshell sums up my experience at Limani. We were a party of 8 and were eager to dine here since they opened its doors. The restaurant is beautifully decorated and the ambiance was great. The food was fresh and tastefully prepared with drinks just as delicious and overall, a great option for a special occasion. With all of that being said, it would've been easy enough for me to give Limani a higher rating but the evening didn't end quite so well when it came time to settle the bill. After a nice evening of great drinks (try the riesling & the 'tini) & good eats (highlights were the octopus, shrimp saganaki & the lobster and the donuts for dessert), we settled the bill only to then realize that we were over-charged for 4 items! It was my fault for only giving the bill a quick review before forking over payment, but a good thing I reviewed it carefully afterwards since we were mis-charged for an appetizer, a side and two drinks! When brought to the attention of our server, he rolled his eyes and addressed these charges. He later apologized for the mishap and comped us two drinks, which we later realized it was actually only one when the day after we noticed that the bill itself didn't add up properly and we were over-charged by $10! I get that these things happen from time to time but was appalled that there were multiple mischarges & the fact that the bill didn't sum up properly really put it over the edge! How can the bill not add up correctly? Things happen but it's how it's handled that really makes the difference and in this case, I was absolutely appalled. Be forewarned and pay close attention to the charges on your bill when dining here. There's definitely good eats to be had here so I'd say it's 3-4 stars in terms of food but given the horrible experience, I just can't get myself to give this place more than 1 star. No one should ever have a headache or feel disgusted by the service after dining at an 'upscale' restaurant like this one. For the price tag, I'd much rather go elsewhere and you should too! read more

Good Greek food, I'm not Greek and don't have much credit for authentic Greek food but it was enjoyable to me

My friend ordered lobster ($38 pp) and I ordered shrimp ($85 pp). Both meals we were asked if we were finished. Both times we responded no. Both times it was taken anyway. We poured our own wine. Concierge was not enthusiastic about our reservation plus restaurant was mostly empty at 9p on a Friday, so maybe it's on us for not anticipating. Food was average, would have excused with half decent service. Manager at least offered generic apology. read more

Limani - Baklava for two - Mediterranean Near Me - New York, New York

Reading through all of the restaurant week options. What to pick...? Well most have the typical starters, chicken or steak as the entree, and then dessert. You can only have so much steak. Went with Greek in the evening roughly 8ish. Not overly crowded. Ambiance is interesting. Like others say there is some sort of infinity pool type thing in the center. Dim purplish lighting. Got seated close to the kitchen. Was on business in NYC. Had some dinner with my project lead. I got the tomato salad starter. Probably should have gotten the roast vegetables in retrospect because it had some kind of foam on it that seemed interesting. The tomato salad left something to be desired. Had the salmon as an entree. Well cooked. Skin was crispy just like I like it. Accoutrement was broccoli and something else. Dessert I got a walnut cake with a scoop of ice cream which has a name that escapes me. Overall splendid dinner for $42 (without tax). My dining companion got the lamb chops and roasted vegetables. For a restaurant week participant this was one of the fancier looking restaurants I've been to. read more

Found out this is another outpost of a popular Long Island restaurant. Ambience is all white and feels as though you are on vacation in Greece. Would make for a great date spot. Seafood was fresh, well cooked, and well seasoned. Really enjoyed a wild mushroom app I had while there...Get this if you're a mushroom lover like myself. This seems like a great addition to the NYC Greek food scene. I'd go again. read more

Limani - One of the grilled fish on the menu. - Mediterranean Near Me - New York, New York

Went for the first time and had a great Valentines day dinner. We were greeted warmly by 2 ladies at the entrance and I was given a red rose as they walked us to the table. We ordered a bottle of Rose which was lovely and had the pre fix $105 per person. The meal was delicious from start to finish the ambiance was romantic and the service was top notch. Thank you for a wonderful experience read more

The four course dinner special is a great price and plentiful and yummy cuisine. The wines are good and pricey no happy hour deals available here if you're expecting something in Midtown. read more

This is probably my favorite restaurant in NYC. I love everything about it. The location is great, the food is delicious and the service is wonderful. The tomato salad, the salmon and tuna sashimi together with the lobster spaghetti is my favorite. read more

Went with my husband midweek for restaurant week. The décor in the restaurant is really nice and we got a table right next to the water fixture they have. We both opted for Calamari as our first course, which was a safe choice and met our expectations. For the main course I got the Royal Dorado and my husband got the Lamb chops, once the food came I was regretting my decision and wished I ordered what he had instead. For dessert we both got the walnut cake which I barely ate because I didn't enjoy the taste of it. read more

What a gem in the heart of Rockefeller center. Food was delicious, superb quality, and out of the ocean fresh. The restaurant was gorgeous, waitstaff was attentive and friendly, and overall an upscale dining experience. The prices are on the higher end here but just factor in the location and the quality of the food, its pretty worth it. We had the Greek salad (tomatoes are flown in from Canada), octopus (delicious), Kolokithi (try them) and Saganaki. Every dish was a treat to your palette. For entrees, we had the organic salmon and Halibut (super fresh). I enjoyed every single dish. It was definitely a fancy night out. Chef Alam is the executive chef at Limani and it is clear that he is truly passionate about food and his craft. Thank you so much for the wonderful dining experience and we will be back for our anniversary. read more

Friends who live in Manhattan recommended this restaurant & we must concur: it us lovely - all billowy white curtains, tables & white leather seating. It's Greek seafood. Wifey had lobster, best ever she said. Not a seafood fan, had lamb chops. They were spectacular. You great 3, very delicately flavored, with perfectly prepared carrots, cauliflower & broccoli. I'd say it is a bit expensive but it was worth it. Heartily recommend. read more

I was a bit surprised as to how things have changed here so much or maybe I just didn't notice when I was younger. But expectation of this restaurant has always been high being a premier destination for SD/SB relationships. As a matter of fact I'm looking at a couple right now demonstrating that it still is a venue for middle age men to show off to their girlfriends. It's not hard to do as the service is excellent, it's a beautiful venue right in the heart of Rockerfeller center, and the prices are ridiculously high to justify the blue infinity pool in the middle of the restaurant. But honestly if you're going to fake the best then at least make a good effort at it! For example The west coast oysters are ok considering the long flight, but the Vinegar was too acidic to be paired incorrectly. What was worse was how the lamb has absolutely no nothing to enhance the flavor other than one twig of rosemary. No seasoning what so ever, no sauce, no salt or pepper. So maybe I'm the idiot and I just don't know Greek food but it seems to me it should at least taste better than what I could make at home. And the "Greek" French fries were definitely no more than simple American steak fries with not even a hint of oregano as on the menu. Nor salt or pepper. Just fried potatoes! Truly boring considering the price. I've had better flavor at my local Greek takeout that here. It was all cooked properly but no creativity nor effort at even a hint of Greece's cuisine. It was a real disappointment. told my boyfriend to treat me to a few nights in Maine; rather than go here again. And one other thing... They advertise in their menu that they use Canadian lobster rather than our own from Maine (of which is environmentally harvested). The only advantage to Canadian lobster is that it's cheaper! For them there are not harvest limits, only seasons, unlike our own fishermen have to deal with. So if you want to show off I would not recommend the lamb and fries. Perhaps other dishes are better as I remembered in the past. read more

I am conflicted about this place. On one hand, the food is great. The Bronzino, the octopus are both exceptional. So is the restaurant week lobster pasta. On the other hand, the service is terrible. When I called for reservation, the person who greeted me was extremely bad tempered and rude. She didn't even let me finish what I wanted to say. The wait was long between courses. But food wise, I am happy. read more

I came here in a large group knowing how Midtown this restaurant was, which is essentially flashy and overpriced / the kind of place you'll take your clients if it's on the company tab, never where you should take friends or a date. The food was every kind of mediocre, and the service was worse. I had the restaurant week prix fixe and started with the calamari. It took the servers three attempts to serve me until they got it right (first bringing me the octopus, then bringing me the tomato salad). The sea bass which I had for my main was served unattractively split open and overcooked, not to mention all the little bones inside. The ice cream for dessert was decent, but the scoops were quite small and served on a massive plate. All this for $100 since they automatically add 20% gratuity, and of course the drinks were marked up to the max. There's really no draw in going here, so...don't. read more

3.8 rating. A nice open ambience. Decent seafood and you can count on great hummus, but sometimes the entrées leave something to be desired.

I almost never write reviews but felt compelled following this awful experience. I go out to nice restaurants in NY and CT a lot and went to Limani with a friend looking to try something new. To say that we were disappointed is an understatement. First, the restaurant feels like an airport bar. We were seated towards the front and the ambience was lousy and the blue lighting didn't help. Moving on to the food, things only got worse. We ordered both recommended fish appetizers and entrees and both were underwhelming. The shell fish appetizer had very little fish and was mostly bone. The white fish that we ordered for our entree tasted like a more chewy version of grouper and yet our bill was sky high. Such bad value and nothing redeeming about this place. Lots of better ways to spend $400! read more

Delicious and beautiful. The atmosphere here is spacious and trendy. Service was great. Our server was attentive, friendly, and very helpful with picking out foods from the menu. I went with a group of 6 ppl so ordered so much food. The most memorable was the salted fish. It's nice cuz the server, based on the table number and number of dishes ordered will pick a size fish appropriate to share together. The langoustine and jumbo shrimps had a wonderful grilled taste to them. We got the sautéed soft shell crabs which everyone enjoyed since we've all only had fried crabs before. We got a bunch of appetizer which were all delicious. And def get the honey lavender ice cream to finish the meal. It is def on the expensive side here but the quality of the dishes were so fresh and delicious. read more

This was my fourth time visiting here. I tried to have early dinner (broadway special) whenever I visit New York and it never disappoints. The food is cooked to perfection, the atmosphere is wonderful, and the service is always good. I know most of the people come to have nice greek seafood selection but when you have a chance, try the lamp chops. They are just so delicious. The only drawback is limited selection of beers and they don't have any draft beers. Will come again next time. read more

3.5 Stars. Came here during restaurant week with my wife and friends. The decor and ambiance was gorgeous and the service we received was fantastic. The Tomato salad, grilled vegetables, fried calamari and grilled octopus were all really good. My main course, the filet mignon was seasoned nicely but overcooked; I asked for medium rare but unfortunately it came out to be more of a medium well. The lamb chops that my wife ordered was delicious - that's what I'll probably order the next time around. read more

Excellent visit with my wife for her bday. Amazing food, service and ambiance. we will definitely be back!

Loved the ambiance and decor. Excellent seafood. And not a long wait given the location.

THE BEST Greek/Mediterranean food I've EVER had. Live near Greek town in Chicago and there is no comparison except for the price. But you get what you pay for. Don't let that be deny you of the best you will have!! read more

I have been to this Limani twice already and it has been nothing short of perfection. I took my wife both times and we ordered wild Fagri both times and both times it was exquisite. Along with this we had an assortment of sides and mezze. The Octopus was soft and full of tastes. Oh, I also wanted to mention that the fish was prepared in a simple way with oil and lemon. The Greek salad was absolutely perfectly dressed. Salad may seem easy but very few places know how to dress them properly The wait staff from the moment I walked in to the moment I left were attentive as though I was a king... I would go back without any hesitation. In fact I am going again tonight! A++++ read more

Came here for a corporate lunch which seems the theme as there were suits worn across the floor. The decor is beautiful and if you get a seat near the centre water feature then you are in the hot spot. However, as we checked in we were ushered to our seats in the downstairs room in which we thought we would see a horses head similar to mafia style appear, this was quite weird as it was only two of us. I went during restaurant week and the lunch menu was delicious I had scallops to start which were very well cooked, the salmon next which tasted delicious and the yoghurt with honey to finish which I loved. The courses are small which I like as it is perfect and not too filling for an afternoon in the office, however if you like a more substantial meal I would go for the lobster pasta which I was recommended by a colleague and looked hearty. I was very disappointed with the service hence the rating, we were told to stop talking and order as the kitchen was busy thus our meals would take a while to arrive, being told we could talk once we had ordered which is extremely rude, we are not school children but paying customers. Note our meals came extremely quickly. We were then abruptly interrupted and asked if we had finished our starter which we were clearly still working on. The whole service was appalling. The food is delicious but the service completely ruined it for me. read more

Came here to eat with some friends on Sept 27. We had an 8 pm.reservation. The place is beautiful. Love the atmosphere. From the minute we sat down the staff was on point. We ordered appetizers for the table and it came out quick. For our main course we had the whole Snapper and Branzino. Fish was good. I think it could of had a little bit more flavor. But overall beautiful place to come eat. read more
