    Mediterranean fresh fish for two

    Friday night our party of 6 were very pleased with Limani. It's so nice to have an upscale beautiful restaurant in Charlotte. Even nicer is the wonderful food, top shelf service and great management. Every time we dine here we like it more.

    Octopus
    Ananya M.

    I had high expectations from this place, especially given the price. The inside of the restaurant is very aesthetically pleasing, and the service was slightly above average. The food, however, was rather disappointing. We got the catch of the day, and the fish was extremely dry and lacked a lot of flavor. The octopus Had bits that were a bit chewy and overcooked. the deconstructed baklava however was very delicious and if you come here, I would recommend getting that. I would truly only recommend coming here for drinks and dessert however as the price is not worth the food.

    This is a nice Mediterranean place located in the South Park area Phillips place shopping center. You can easily find a parking space in the shared parking deck in the back or they have valet available. You can make your reservation OpenTable. Came on a weekend. The food was great in the service was nice. They have a full service bar. The decor is lovely.. will definitely be back. Hope you enjoy as much as I did.

    I absolutely love a reasonable prix fixe menu and Limani early dinner menu did not disappoint. I adore the ambiance, the service was warm and everything that I selected was clean, fresh and flavorful. I had the Avgolemono Soup which was a traditional Greek chicken-lemon soup. It was different that what I was use to but I love it. It was very comforting. I had the salmon that was served with mixed vegetables, finished with capers & lemon butter. For my dessert, I had Profiterole. They weren't too sweet. It was choux filled with milk chocolate mousse & warm chocolate sauce. I ended my meal with Camomille Tea served with honey and a splash of milk. The perfect calming finish to my evening. Thanks for having me in! I highly recommend this spot for a nice lunch, dinner or celebration!

    Baklava!

    Friends went on a Friday night for the first time and liked it so much that they took us there three days later! Lyman did not disappoint. Our server was the best. She had great suggestions and was personable as well as professional. Ask for Maria, at least I think I'm remembering her name correctly... We split the octopus and limani chips as appetizers and they were both amazing. The octopus was perfectly cooked, tender and definitely not rubbery. The chips were unique and delicious , and recommended by our daughter who had had them at a recent client lunch. We all had fish main courses that were yummy... but the best was our dessert...four of us split the deconstructed baklava. OMG...you must order this... Beautiful space and so nice to have gorgeous outdoor seating too. We will be back!

    The bar at Limani is one of the best spots for Friday night summer cocktails in Charlotte. The food and drinks are excellent but what really stands out is how beautiful the restaurant is. We get the Limani Chips and grilled shrimp which are both fantastic. The service is friendly and prompt. We make it a regular stop on our date night routine. Especially in the summer.

    Lemon potatoes

    We had a 8:30pm reservation for eight. The restaurant wasn't crowded for a Saturday, it's also a HUGE space. As a first timer, I enjoyed how the menu is explained. I enjoyed the scallops, though a few pieces were tough. The lemon potatoes were a table winner along with the fries. This is a great choice for fine, Mediterranean dining.

    This is a beautiful restaurant - the decor is modern, clean, and welcoming. The lighting is extremely dim though, which will make it tough to read the menu for some. The service was excellent and they had a team based approach - we had 3 people working on our table. We ordered spanakopita, which was great, and also had saganki (which was ok - not authentic). We also ordered a whole fish, the grilled vegetables, and a filet. For dessert we had the orange cake and the baklava. Overall the food quality was excellent.

    Amazing upscale dining experience in SouthPark -- directly across from Restoration Hardware. A great place to go in Charlotte if you're looking to dress up and spend some money. The food is PHENOMENAL (love the el dorado and lemon potatoes) and the service is always top tier.

    Table bread

    Typically I remember my waiting staff's names, but I did not pay for the bill since it was my birthday, so I do not remember unfortunately. We dined on 11/24 in the evening. We originally were suppose to go a Mediterranean restaurant in Uptown, starts with the letter "A" but they were non responsive to my inquiries. Thank Goodness, because I absolutely adore this place. I love a restaurant that actually utilizes the chat feature on OpenTable. I, as the consumer am able to update the establishment accordingly, and they are able to stay informed and respond. I had a party of nine persons. The service was lovely, the food was awesome, the ambiance was everything I wanted. We ordered the seafood tower, because why would you go to a restaurant and not order the seafood if you're with a group, lol (unless you're allergic). I ordered the scallops, lemon potatoes, an earl grey cocktail and a Greek dessert called GALAKTOBOUREKO. I looovveedd the dessert, oh my gosh. It had a crunchy, sweet, creamy taste. Literally hit all the flavor profiles I was looking forward to. I can't wait to come back for brunch. :-D

    This is arguably one of the best high-end restaurants in Charlotte with a beautiful setting, excellent food and service. My wife and I came here for the first time on a Friday evening after work without a reservation, and we were lucky as we got a table right away. We were greeted by very professional and friendly hostesses who took care of us with a big smile. The menu has plenty of food and drink options with a full bar to choose from. We went for the lentil soup, the octopus, Limani chips (Paper thin cut zucchini and eggplant served with lightly fried kefalograviera cheese and tzatziki), and the scallops. For dessert, we went for the Karidopita (Walnut sponge cake, cinnamon, cloves, honey syrup served with honey lavender ice cream). Everything was delicious, especially the dessert. Oh, my!!! Limani is located in a centrally located area in a high-end shopping plaza with plenty of free parking. They also offer valet parking. Overall, 100% recommended for that special occasion or simply have a wonderful and fancy meal.

    A great brunch spot! I recently visited this location for the first time with my girlfriends, and we had an amazing experience! The food was fresh and delicious. I truly hope word gets out about this gem because more people would definitely appreciate the incredible dining and food experience this restaurant offers.

For entrees, we ordered the lamb shank, which was juicy, tender, and absolutely amazing. The adana kabab was top notch with incredible flavor. The chicken shawarma and chicken kabab could have been a bit more tender, but still enjoyable overall. They also have a large selection of desserts on the menu, so definitely save some room if you can.

The whole meal felt like a little celebration without breaking the bank. If you're in Charlotte looking for a spot that does brunch right with something for everyone, definitely put Kid Cashew at the top of your list. Five stars.

Pair that with their juicy Greek Meatballs, and you're in possible food coma! They also boast an all-Greek wine list, which is a nice authentic touch. While they have a great patio, it's been a bit too chilly for us lately, but the indoor vibe is just as lovely.

It was grilled and nice and crispy. For drinks, one of my friends ordered the rosé wine flight, I ordered their house red wine, and my other friend ordered wine as well. The wine selection was good so we are pleased with that. It was our main entrées that we ordered that we were not pleased with. For example, I ordered the steak skewer, which I understood would be a small plate, but when it came out to find that it was just one skewer was a little bit misleading, and I wish that I had ordered something else because that was not enough for my dinner. Our server didn't come back to check on us after our food arrived so I wasn't even able to add any more small plates. In addition, my friend did not enjoy her pasta at all, and I tried to bite, and it was not good. Only my friend who ordered the Bolognese pasta was pleased with her dinner choice. Due to our server not coming back to our table to check on us and also didn't really give us suggestions of what to order or how to order I wasn't very pleased with our experience. I don't know if I would come back because honestly, the meal was pretty mid for how expensive it was priced. The inside of the restaurant is cute and the patio as well but the food is mid and expensive for the service to be so poor.
