    I really enjoyed my time at Limani celebrating my sister's birthday! The restaurant oversees the waterfront, so there are spectacular views when dining in. A couple of us chose the prefix lunch menu, so for mine, I started with calamari, which was enough for the whole table! For my main, I got the salmon. It was okay, but I was able to try some of my sister's sea bass, and I really loved it! The dessert selection was the orange honey cake, and wow -- it was amazing. I tried some other foods from others, and I also really liked the Greek fries. They were thick and very crispy.

    I had been eyeing brunch at Limani DC for at least two years, and I finally made it there for my birthday with my best friend --and let me just say, it was absolutely worth the wait. For the price, the brunch experience was top-tier. Everything we tried was a 10/10. The standout dishes for me were the steak, lobster and shrimp, and surprisingly, the eggs--perfectly cooked and full of flavor. The vibe is unmatched--very classy, elegant, and upscale without feeling uncomfortable. Being right on the Wharf, the waterfront views added such a beautiful touch to the whole experience. The staff was attentive and kept everything flowing smoothly, which made the experience even better. One of my favorite parts? We actually ended up making new friends at our table, bonding over just how amazing everything was--that kind of energy says a lot about the atmosphere! This was such a memorable birthday brunch, and I'm already looking forward to coming back--definitely for another brunch and next time to try dinner.

    Sunday brunch in the Washington DC, Harbor for brunch. We decided on Limani because of the bottomless brunch and let me tell you, fantastic. There is no way you can eat to the bottom, although I tried. The menu choices were outstanding with enough to satisfy any dietary needs/requirements. The ambieance was European and the view of the river really set it off. The service was 5+ stars with the waitress continually checking on us and topping off drinks without a need to call for service. Parking garages are available, however we took Uber to elimate the need for parking...which made for a relaxing journey.

    Just had an incredible meal at Limani and I'm still thinking about it. The food was absolutely delicious. Every dish was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. You can really tell they care about quality and presentation. The atmosphere was elegant but still comfortable, and the service was excellent from start to finish. Everything we ordered was outstanding, especially the seafood. It felt like a true dining experience, not just a meal. If you're looking for amazing food and a great night out, Limani is a must. I'll definitely be coming back!

    Wow is all I can say about this brunch experience. My group had a private room and it was a good view and great service. Our server was very attentive and made sure everyone was taken care of. We weren't celebrating anything, but she even gave us some special treats during our time there. Now on to the food. It's rate to go to a DC restaurant and love everything, but Limani made sure their brunch was delicious no matter what item you decided on. I couldn't even grab pictures of everything because I was too busy enjoying each item. The seafood was the emphasis here and it did not disappoint. The lobster tail was meaty, the oysters were fresh and delicious, even the seafood basmati rice was amazing. The short rib was tender and great. Surprisingly, the collard greens were really good. The French toast was fluffy and sweet. The shrimp and grits were savory. They were able to meet every flavor profile for each item and nailed it. I already can't wait to be back for brunch again or dinner.

    I spent MLK Day brunch at Límani with a dear friend after seeing their brunch promotion on Instagram, and it absolutely lived up to the hype. This is a truly luxurious brunch experience from start to finish. The spread was incredible -- abundant seafood, beautifully presented and fresh. The cocktail shrimp, lobster on the half shell, and oyster tower completely won my heart. We also enjoyed a delicious seafood salad, and the carving station sealed the deal with perfectly prepared lamb and one of the best rib eyes I've had at brunch. Beyond the food, the atmosphere is stunning. The décor is elegant and modern, the waterfront views are to die for, and the playlist was chef's kiss -- the kind of music that elevates the entire experience and makes you want to linger. The staff was professional, warm, and attentive without being intrusive, which added to the overall polished feel of the day. If you're looking for an elevated, indulgent brunch at The Wharf that feels special and celebratory, Límani delivers on every level. This is brunch done right.

    Had a fabulous brunch experience here. We did the unlimited everything option and it was absolutely worth it. They even allowed us to stay past the two hour limit with no complaints, which made the experience feel relaxed and welcoming. The staff was friendly, attentive, and quick to clear plates. The food was delicious and surprisingly impressive for a buffet. The mimosas were incredible and clearly made with quality champagne and mixers, not the cheap stuff. The glassware and presentation were a nice touch. The view was great, the service was strong, and the food exceeded expectations. My favorites were the southern style string beans with garlic mashed potatoes and the seafood selection. Overall, a really great experience and one I would happily return to.

    Went to celebrate with friends. Ahmed and Alliana* was great and attentive. We tried several things including lamb chops, the sea bass, fillet mignon, lemon potatoes and calamari. The holiday igloos were so nice as well and my VIP-TINI was good. The views and ambiance were nice as well on a cool winter night.

    The Big Eye Tuna entree was almost inedible as it was absolutely doused with soy sauce.

    Went for Mother's Day. Had an overall pretty bad experience. We had a 6:00 reservation for six which we showed up to at 5:57. We were not seated until 6:25. We placed our orders and were warned that the Black Seabass for two would take about 25 minutes to prepare. We accepted this, and added the fried calamari as an appetizer to tide us over. By 7:45, none of our food had arrived, including the calamari starter. The server was working hard and we didn't want to complain, but we had to ask. She did not stop to talk to us, she only said "Yes, the kitchen is backed up as we're busy" and kept moving to go to another table. Another very helpful woman -- she was wearing a blue tie (which I believe signals that she works on drinks?) -- came over to chat with us to see how things were going. We said that we're two hours past our reservation time and had eaten nothing but bread thus far. She apologized and offered us a round of drinks, which we were very appreciative of as it was not expected. Our food finally came a little after 8pm. I included a picture of the black seabass for two, which really did not look appealing when served. The big eye tuna was INEDIBLE as it was completely oversalted thanks to it sitting in a pool of soy sauce. The fried calamari was the last to come -- so much for it being an appetizer. To our server's credit, as dishes started coming, I told her to cancel the fried calamari as the intent was to tide us over while we wanted for the sea bass. She said she would bring the dish anyway, and comp it, which she didn't need to do. Overall, the food was middle-tier at best and definitely not worth the price. One person at our table said the salmon tartar was also heavily oversalted -- she didn't end up finishing that dish either, after chugging glasses after glasses of water. The stuffed calamari had too much cheese, although that's a matter of personal preference. The halibut got good reviews from our group. Credit to some of the servers for trying to make up for the two-hour wait for food, but I would not come back here for dinner. I hear great things about the bottomless brunch, but I'd be hard pressed to come back. They add a 20% gratuity on all checks, 4% of which goes to the restaurant to cover increased costs (this is a pet peeve of mine), and 16% goes to the front of house staff (credit the restaurant for disclosing that not all 20% goes to staff). Be advised that they apply the full food tax on top of this gratuity.

    Awesome surrounding area, beautiful ambience, attentive service and a delicious variety of food options. I had the pleasure of dining here for a friend's birthday brunch. We well fed, well cared for and our glasses stayed full. I can't wait to go back. I posted pics of some of the dishes to my Facebook and my mom is dying to try them. The cinnamon roll was an indulgence that I didn't need to add to my guilty pleasures list but the damage is done. Pro tip, the greens stand on their own they are so well seasoned and tender.

    My friends and I went to Limani to celebrate a birthday and had a really good time. The space is beautiful and open with floor-to-ceiling windows that do a great job of brightening up the restaurant. They have multiple floors so there's plenty of room for both large and small groups plus they have aa bar area if you just want to hang out there. Our service was okay. Not the greatest but not terrible either. It seemed like they might have been short staffed that day since the bartender was also covering tables so things moved a little slower than we would've liked. Still he was doing his best and we appreciated the effort. Now for the food - it was pretty good! Brunch here is buffet-style with the option of unlimited mimosas and you can find multiple food stations on both the first and second floors with tons of options. Definitely come with an empty stomach. The food overall was enjoyable and the drinks were really good too. I decided to purchase individual drinks and loved my choices (as you can see, that is the picture I got lol) It does lean on the more expensive side but I do think you get your bang for your buck. I would definitely return especially for a celebration. I'm glad I checked it out!

    Bottomless mimosas... say less! We went to Limani in Washington, DC for Sunday brunch and it did not disappoint. From the hot plates to the all-you-can-eat lobsters, everything was delicious. The food was fresh, flavorful, and kept coming out hot. The bottomless mimosas were the perfect addition and definitely made brunch even more fun. Our waitress was amazing and very on top of our drinks -- our mimosas were always topped off without us even having to ask, which made the experience even better. The price is just right for what you're getting, especially considering the quality and variety of food. Great atmosphere, great food, and a perfect spot for a Sunday brunch in DC. We'll definitely be back!

    Great food, views, and service. The menu may be slightly intimidating at first glance but there are plenty of great options for all party sizes. Service was attentive for a party of 8 and a party of 3. The restaurant sits on the water side of the wharf and has a beautiful view of sunset across the Potomac. I highly recommend for the seafood lovers wanting a romantic evening and vibe

I was pulling up Yelp to see what bar we wanted to go after and saw this on the list. We were initially going to go to the karaoke bar next door but when we walked inside, it was wayyyy too loud and obnoxious so we were like perfect let's go across the street! We walk into the ramen spot and ask where the speakeasy is and the guy led us to the back and showed us to some stairs to go down. Seriously, how COOL is this place??? The neon lights were so fun! We walked into the bar and immediately loved it! Good amount of bar seating plus some comfy couches and whatnot. There was music but it wasn't too obnoxious, we were still able to have conversations - it was surprisingly chill and exactly what we were looking for. Chatted to the bartender who made some fancy shots for us, had a few drinks. It was not busy at all on a Sat night which was nice. It is very dark inside even with the neon lights so it does make it hard to read the menus (had to use flashlights on our phone). But super fun spot, fun drinks, not too expensive, and a neat and chill experience! It was an excellent find for us for sure!

Within minutes the place was packed, so although we were able to get a seat I'd still recommend making a reservation since the space fills up quickly. Initially I didn't realize this was a gin-focused bar, but now I'm hooked ( I told the bartenders about my usual preferences and they were able to make great recommendations). The drinks were incredibly well crafted and full of unique flavor. I started with one of their signature drinks but then asked for a bartender's choice based on what I typically enjoy and they absolutely nailed it. The space has a stylish speakeasy vibe that feels both elevated and inviting. You ring a bell to be let in, which makes the whole experience feel a little more special. Inside, it's moody and romantic with plush seating, gorgeous lighting, and a warm ambiance that's perfect for date night or just catching up with friends. Whether you're a gin enthusiast or just looking for a cool spot to grab a drink in DC, this place is absolutely worth checking out. I'm already planning my next visit.
