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!

We have been to a number of Hell’s Kitchens, mostly with excellent results but sometimes not so much. Our experience in the Washington DC restaurant was outstanding. All aspects of the experience were at the very high level we would expect. The service was excellent and we had warm and accommodating attention the whole night. One of the wait staff even went the extra mile and secured for my daughter the iconic Hell’s Kitchen pin! Kitchen was operating on all thrusters! We had filet, short ribs, and salmon, all of which were cooked to perfection. The sides of potatoes au gratin, macaroni and cheese, and braised brussel sprouts were also exceptionally tasty. Finally, the Caesar salad they brought out was enough for the whole table. The only ding I would say was that it was a bit noisier than we prefer and we did have the unfortunate luck to be seated next to a booth that did have two small children who were a bit rambunctious and noisy. But having had four children ourselves who are all now grown, we well understand and accept the travails of taking young children out to dinner. Overall, our experience was excellent and we will return again when next in DC.

When your first course is something to savor, you know you are in for a real treat. My tricolore salad was outstanding, served in a classic old style glass salad dish. The flavor stayed with me, pistachios, the perfect amount of olives, citrus and herbs, olive oil and vinegar. I have celiac and was entirely accommodated with gluten free bread and pasta. I chose the spicy bolognese, beef and pork topped with whipped ricotta and was catapulted into old Italian restaurants of my youth in NYC. The service was incredible. We were catered to instead of it being a chore, it seemed a pleasure for our server. The ambiance is fun, old school art and photos hung haphazardly evoking a feeling like the restaurant had been there for years. It is a small restaurant, hence the reservation wait, but it is a good feeling in a world of oversized restaurants. We got take out for members of my family who couldn’t be there, and the chef and partner, Matt Adler, brought us our bags with a smile. I’m grateful we had the opportunity to thank him. To top it off, the prices for food and drinks are so reasonable. That is outside the norm for hot restaurants here, but so welcome. I cannot wait to go back, but fear it may be a while with the food and service they have to offer for the limited space they have.

Arrived early for our reservation so we enjoyed cocktails at the bar first, then were taken to our table. Nev took very good care of us. The lobster special was divine!! Can't wait to come back and enjoy views of the river.

This was a birthday dinner for my 17 years old granddaughter. We loved the small plates dining, the food was delicious with many vegetarian and pescatarian choices. Service was attentive and Impecable! We will be back soon!
