    Beautiful restaurant! I held a business dinner, the noise level was low, very conducive for conversation. Wait staff was attentive and overall food was great. Definitely recommend the Meze appetizer and the Loup de Mer fish entree.

    Our table for four was not ready and we offered the option of eating on the first floor (2people there) for a 20% discount. We declined and said we would have a drink at the bar and wait. The waitress tried to serve us dinner at the bar but we declined. We finally sat to eat ~25min later. We ordered wine, were brought the wrong bottle 15” later and 30” later they told us they did not have our wine and suggested a different wine. Someone then tried to take our wine glasses away. The staff in general had no idea what they were doing. We ordered an appetizer which came fairly quickly, but dinner took about 45” to arrive. Luckily we did finally get the wine just before the dinner. Food was good, my swordfish was excellent. Will never go back though.

    Arugula salad was a large fist-full of arugula topped with a slice of cheese and the most tasteless large tomato sliced into 3 wedges. Most unappetizing in appearance, and proved such a disappointment I returned it to the kitchen. Would never expect such a travesty of a simple salad as this from a premium restaurant at premium prices.

    The place was very busy on a Saturday night. We were a party of 4 and even though we waited 15’ top of our reservation time, the general manager approached us, apologized for the delay and offered us a complimentary appetizer. Staff were super pleasant and very attentive. Food was delicious and was coursed out great. Dessert(Deco Baklava) is out of this world. We will definitely be returning. Thank you Limani Team!

    This place has had its ups and downs but lately it has been hitting peak performance.  everything was stellar, the red snapper, Moussaka, leg of lamb, preceded by perfect appetizers, i.e., dips, and other tasty treats. My guests were really really delighted service very attentive. Noise level wasn’t bad but the restaurant was not crowded. I would suggest you ask for corner table if you’re coming on a Friday or Saturday.

    Our first time a Limani. It was not busy, so it was quiet. The background music was soft and appropriate. A corporate event was in an adjacent room, but this did not interfere with our dinner. The food portions were very good, and the food was well prepared. We will go back.

Our server Sebastian was very knowledgeable and attentive and both managers stopped by the table to check on our experience it was a nice touch, the lobster pasta was delicious and super fresh.

    Another very satisfying dinner at Limani. Hostess Arcan again greeted us warmly and helped us select an optimal table for our needs. Manager Alex stopped by to introduce herself. And Mevlut and his colleagues were a terrific waitstaff team - there at all the right moments to field our questions, refill water glasses, and remove empty plates. And those plates were indeed empty - Limani food is way too good to leave behind. Two of us enjoyed the organic salmon, cooked perfectly. One of us had the moussaka, and like everything on the menu, it was *not* ordinary. The beef layer seemed shredded - not ground - and was nicely flavored. And we once again shared spanokopita as an appetizer. Wonderfully crunchy phyllo exterior and a tangy filling. Hostess: arcan trujisj arr JAN…waitet: Mnager alex stod by to introduce hetself…mevlut was waiter… Sent from my iPhone

    I have been to Limani several times and have had very good food and service. That was not true on November 17. We had friends from out of town and invited them to come to Limani with us for what we thought would be a great meal. The first thing that happened was that the waiter brought out two of the entrees before we were even finished with the appetizer. Then the other two entrees did not appear. My partner and I will not eat our food until the whole table is served so our meals became cold as we waited and waited. It took 30 minutes and numerous complaints from us before the other two meals arrived. We asked to see the manager. The assistant manager came to our table. He clearly did not know what had happened because he tried to bring one of the meals already served. However, the assistant manager was very apologetic and comped our entire meal. I love the food at Limani and I would go there again but I would never bring guests. It was too embarrassing.

    Took nearly 2 hours just to get out appetizers. The bar did not know how to make basic cocktails (Old Fashion, Manhattan). Appetizers were excellent, but all of our mains were overcooked and tough.

    Had thought this would be a pleasant upscale chain restaurant, good place to meet people but dining that's more engineered than memorable. Limani's website even looks that way--drone shots of Boston before you can see a menu. But then, I was blown away by the food! Just over the top flavorful takes on the several dishes we had. (Bronzini, mignon, grilled mushroom appetizer). Great selections of wine by the glass. Service was very good also. We'll be back

    We had a terrific experience with a Sunday evening dinner at Limani to celebrate my mother-in-law's 90th birthday. The entire team, from the hostess who greeted us and helped us select a table, to Sebastian who was our primary wait staff member, to several others whose names I didn't catch, provided flawless service with a smile and without hovering. Questions got answered...the order was delivered correctly...water glasses unobtrusively were kept filled...the sea bass got split and served for the two in our group who shared it...everything just worked. And, the food (I sampled everyone's...) was yummy, with one exception: the broccoli side dish could be better. Maybe grill it? Or, season it a bit more? But the spanakopita appetizer was delicious: crispy outside, tasty mixture inside. The sea bass was perfectly cooked, and tender. I cut my own entree trail by combining an appetizer and a side. The organic salmon tartare from the raw bar was a sizable portion of very fresh salmon, with two sizable and tasty seeded crackers. The grilled vegetables were probably the best I've ever had (and I am particular about food but especially vegetables): a sizable portion and a nice mix (zucchini, eggplant, onion, red bell pepper, asparagus, and maybe yellow summer squash), all grilled perfectly, along with several slabs of grilled Halloumi cheese, and with a side of either sour cream or perhaps a Greek sauce I just don't know enough to identify, that enhanced the flavor. Sebastian surprised us with a piece of some wonderful spicy and moist cake, and delicious vanilla ice cream, topped with a birthday candle - a perfect finale to a very satisfying experience.

    1. Took 30min to bring our drinks. 2. The server did not come back to take our entree orders for another 40 mins. Had to ask the hostess. The hostess ended up taking our orders. 3. Did not have the wine that we ordered. 4. Forgot to bring one of the appetizer items but charged us for it anyway. 5. Called the next day to ask for an itemized receipt and to speak to a manager. They took a message. No-one ever called back.

    Despite having read some negative reviews of Limani's service, my friend and I were pleasantly surprised. Service was attentive and friendly. The three course prix fixe luncheon is a bargain. The appetizers (tomato salad and sampler of spreads) were both very good. The Dorado was flavorful and moist. The walnut cake was deemed "okay" by my friend. My yogurt with honey was delicious, smooth and not too sweet. I will definitely return for dinner. The room was not very crowded at lunch. I hope Limani will do some major advertising. It is very promising and it would be nice to see it succeed.

    We had the luncheon menu and felt it was a good deal. I had the lentil soup which I did not enjoy. I thought it was tasteless. The Mediterranean fish was very good and well prepared. The dessert was the Greek cake with ice cream and that was delicious. Overall, an enjoyable lunch with an incredible view of the pond and the foliage.
