Lamb Chops*
Denae P.

I celebrated my birthday here and also came for the Greek Independence Day celebration and had 2 great meals. I love the upscale vibe of the restaurant and the quality service. I had the tomato salad, Limani chips, filet mignon and lamb chops. The ingredients are fresh and very tasty. My favorite was the lamb chops - perfectly cooked and seasoned. Will be back to try more times in the future!

Greek yogurt dessert
Chris C.

This is a high-end greek spot next to the ICA (the space used to be a Wagamama) its a large, airy, very modern and attractive space with a lot of outside seating (in better weather). Service was attentive and friendly . They have a nice $30 lunch deal 7 days a week until 3pm, where you get to choose a starter, main and dessert. (See attached menu photos.) I got the greek salad which was on the smaller side but appropriate for an appetizer in a pre-fix meal with tomato, cucumbers, red onion, creamy feta and one brave little black olive (there could lhave been a couple more) Simple but fresh and flavorful. For my entree I has the Scottish (not Greek?) salmon with chef's choice of vegetables which today were one large piece each of carrot, brocolli and cauliflower with lemon and capers on the salmon, which was perfectly grilled. It was light, very fresh, and the veggies were perfectly crisp/tender. Quite impressive for such a simple dish. (Though I had to laugh at literally ONE piece of each vegetable -- thought the food was more than enough to satisfy me.) Because I'm eating keto, I had Greek yogurt with walnut and the thyme honey on the side (which i didn't have). It was still a nice end to the meal. There are other more carby choices, on the prixe fixe menu, some with a upcharge. The menu is rather pricey (the salmon alone on the regular menu is $39 alone, so I feel like I got a deal here. So this was a good way to sample it on the (relatively) cheap, and I was overall impressed with the space, vibe, service and food. (FYI - soda refills are NOT free)

This is a very fancy restaurant! We went for my mother in law's birthday dinner and some of us were definitely underdressed (oops). Everything we ordered was tasty, but for the price point, I didn't feel like there was anything that special about the food. The mussels appetizer was well portioned but the sauce was a little too salty. The fries were average potato wedges with feta cheese. My husband's dish, the Moussaka, was the only one that I felt was especially delicious and worth the price.

Zucchini Keftedes
Miranda S.

I had a great time at Limani! Loved the ambiance, the vibes, the music, the service, and our food. After being seated in the cutest booth, we were served warm bread with fresh cut basil for our olive oil. A nice touch and a good start to our dinner. I got a glass of rose so I can't comment on the drinks, but my friend got a mocktail and enjoyed it. We got the zucchini chips as an appetizer which we liked. For dinner, got the Chilean sea bass, absolutely loved it! Cooked perfectly and the additional favors of the other ingredients (corn, pancetta) brought everything together beautifully. My friend got the lamb chops - she thought they could've been a little more seasoned, but when she asked for more of the balsamic glaze (there wasn't much on the lamb), that brought the flavors together better. We came here for a fancy girls night over a good dinner and drinks and got exactly what we were looking for.

Yogurt from the lunch prefix menu
Olaedo E.

After opting out of our initial reservation at a nearby restaurant, we decided to dine here for lunch on my birthday after church. Aesthetically, it is beautiful. On this Sunday afternoon, it wasn't too busy inside. We were able to be seated immediately. Joseph was our server and he was really friendly and helpful with our questions about the menu. My family decided to order from the prefix lunch menu. I went with: Octopus - 9/10. This was so yummy! The octopus was tender and flavorful. The dish was pretty filling. Lobster linguine - 7.5/10. The lobster was juicy but the sauce was a little bland/basic. I took it home and spiced it up. Karidopita - 8/10. This walnut sponge cake was rich and not too sweet. My family enjoyed the salmon. They also liked the crab cakes but wish it a little bigger portion. My sister liked the lamb chops but found some parts to be too fatty. The fries were hot and crispy. Thanks for a lovely birthday lunch, Limani! I'll definitely be back!

Bone-in ribeye
Janeka H.

This was my first time here and I was a little skeptical because I don't really like Greek food. However - everything I had was amazing. It was a work dinner and we ordered so many apps. I loved the cauliflower and the Brussel sprouts. My bone-in ribeye was amazing. The restaurant was a nice and cozy place. And their sangrias was really good too. Overall this place gets a 10 out of 10. Service was great too!

I came here for lunch with my family for my sister's birthday on a Sunday. Luckily they took our last minute reservation as because we had to cancel our original reservations at a restaurant a couple blocks down. We must've come in between hours as the restaurant was not packed which works for me. The servers and hostess's were all kind and welcoming. The restaurant is aesthetically appealing. We ordered a bunch of food from the menu. I ordered the following: Crab cake: 7/10 Lobster linguine: 8.5/10 Raspberry and mango sorbet: 10/10 The price was reasonable for the lunch menu. My only complaint was that the service was eeexxxttrrreeeemmmlllyyyyy sloooooooowww between each course and we would often awkwardly wait a long time to be served the next dish.

Tomato salad
Gerald S.

Food superb. All dishes were the proper temperature and visually appealing. I hate when food tastes better than it looks. Look good AND taste good is what kitchens need to strive for. Limani Grille ‍ Ambiance excellent. Sat in a fishbowl booth I call them. You look out into the entire restaurant. And everybody looks at you too . We beat the rush barely. But no waiting on our meal. Everything was timed impeccably. One note our server never asked if I wanted a wine refill. That's my only issue. But it didn't take away from the overall experience. I would definitely go back again when in the area of course. I just couldn't muster up the excitement to give 5 but it's a very strong 4.4!

Cheers

I came here because I saw this on the Boston calendar and it was Sinatra night. I love Frank Sinatra so naturally, I had to make a reservation and was a wonderful experience. The place was contemporary chic and was packed. We were seated at a nice booth, and there is a great view of the restaurant and far away from the band where I can have a conversation and listen to some good tunes. We ordered the grilled octopus and tuna tartare to start which were amazing then I had the best chilean Sea bass and sampled the lamb shank which was a fall of the bone experience. Dessert was big enough to share for two. I had the orange cake and it was amazing. The music in the background was great and on their break they put Greek traditional music on and the staff was waving napkins in the air and I squeezed a little Greek dancing on my way to the ladies. I really want to give this place five stars, but there was a delay to get our cocktails first because the appetizers came out beforehand. Our server grabbed them immediately when he was aware. Then he almost forgot the our tuna tartare because he wanted to ask us if we were ready for the main course and we reminded him we're still waiting for the tuna Tartare. The server gave us complimentary cappuccino which were not great, and we got them spilt on the saucer and we asked the helper if he can give us a napkin. Instead of just giving us a new saucer and wiping the cup, he just placed a bunch of cocktail napkins on the saucer to soak it up. Lastly, when the bill came, the second Prosecco's was charged $17 versus the initial $14 Prosecco I had. The server did offer to give us a difference in cash, but we just wanted to inform him. Also, he also accidentally broke the candle votive but had it swept immediately. Overall, we did have a good time there and the staff was nice, but they just need a little tweaking to make this a five star experience.

Delicious salmon
Lauren L.

Had another excellent meal at the Limani Grille today. First time trying the salmon and it was delicious. Cooked perfectly and served with fresh cauliflower and broccoli. This is definitely one of my favorite restaurants in Boston. And as always we had great service from the very attentive wait staff.

You can stand at the end of the bar and order drinks if you like while you wait. After I was seated, I was promptly brought water and had my order taken. I got a cup of chowder and the lobster roll (hot with butter). I got both my chowder and lobster roll in under 10 mins of ordering. Well oiled machine. The chowder was hot and salty and creamy. The perfect combo with the rainy weather. The lobster roll was good but I wish it would have been hot. It was closer to room temp than hot. The lobster roll was marked market price and was 40$. The cup of chowder was 10$. Overall good spot when you have the time to wait but not worth the 40$ price for the lobster roll.

Haven't been here in a while but it's still the best hot lobster roll in town!…read more Get there early to get seated first round. They cram you in like sardines so try to get a good spot! You're most likely be sharing a table with other diners. The mussels in a spicy flavorful red sauce were cooked perfectly. They only came with 2 small pieces of grilled bread. If you like to dunk your bread and soak up all the yummy broth, ask for more bread when you order. The fries dipped in there are also really good! Lobster roll was delicious and juicy on a buttery brioche bun. So much lobster! And the fries are so crispy and salty! My friend ordered the North End Cioppino that comes in a rice spicy brodo with clams, mussels, shrimp, and 2 types of fish (I forget what they were). The broth was ok and the whole shrimp was a chore to eat. The mussel sauce would've been better. Note: one small dark bathroom at end of bar Parking is very hard to find as most are resident.

It was Friday afternoon into evening so makes sense. We came back late night around 9:30pm and waited for like 5 minutes before being seated. The place is small. You're basically sharing dinner with the stranger next to you with how close you're sitting. Thankfully our strangers were cool lol. We tried a variety of oysters, cocktail shrimp, and the razor clams which we heard were amazing. All I'm gonna say is, I would have been annoyed if I waited in line for hours for the items we got. The cocktail shrimp was decent - it was a good size, juicy, and delicious. The razor clams were a miss. Rubbery and too many other things in the dish overshadowing the clams. We got two different kinds of fresh clams which my husband said were okay. I'm not a fan of fresh clams. The oysters were good, but after having been to Row 34, I can't justify standing in line for oysters in a place that doesn't have much else worth trying.

I had eaten at The Daily Catch's Brookline location years ago (it no longer exists), and I always…read moreremember it as a great meal. So when I was visiting Boston with my husband two weeks ago, I thought this Waterfront location would be a great spot for dinner on our first night in Boston. The family behind The Daily Catch opened their first business in Boston (in the North End) in 1973 - a small storefront selling calamari. Since then, it's become a bit of an institution in Boston, with several locations and now a full-service, large-menued Sicilian-style seafood and pasta restaurant. I waited an hour outside their Brookline location when I ate there years ago, and the wait was worth it. People who have eaten at their North End location may remember waiting for a bit, too. But this Waterfront location? THEY TAKE RESERVATIONS. Hallelujah. We had a reservation for around 8pm on Friday night and were seated at our table right away upon arriving. The restaurant is beautiful but understated - not flashy or too modern - with indoor and outdoor patio seating. The service was top notch. Our server was PJ, and he was incredible - helpful, friendly, always checking in with us. But even other people stopped by to make sure we didn't need anything. The menu is pretty large, and I wanted A LOT OF IT. Unfortunately, we were only two people and had to order responsibly. We shared the stuffed calamari (calamari stuffed with herbed bread crumbs, pine nuts, and raisins, and served in their red sauce); a Caesar salad (classic, and we added anchovies on top); their black pasta aglio olio (ground calamari, extra virgin olive oil, garlic, romano cheese, and parsley); and their monkfish marsala (pan-seared monkfish medallions with mushrooms in a marsala wine butter sauce). What I loved? That stuffed calamari. I had it almost ten years ago when I ate at their Brookline location. I remembered it, and we had it again. It's an incredible dish. There's a reason their black pasta aglio olio is so popular. It's a classic and very delicious. The ground calamari is such a nice touch, and the dish is fresh and super garlicky and delicious. (They serve their pastas in the pan - it's something they are known for - a charming touch!) I also think their drink menu is great. I had a great glass (or two?) of wine white from Sicily (Pietradolce Etna Bianco - a 100% Carricante grape wine from the Northern slopes of Mount Etna), while my husband had a cocktail (or two?). The only thing that kept this from being an absolutely perfect dinner was the monkfish marsala. The monkfish was cooked beautifully cooked, but I found the sauce very off. It was bizarre - it tasted like maple syrup to me. I think the marsala was too sweet or not cooked out enough or - is it possible?! - something was added for additional sweetness and the balance was off. Way too sweet for me with the fish. We ate the fish but tried to get as much off the sauce off as possible. The only miss in a meal that was otherwise wonderful in service, ambiance, food, and drink! The Daily Catch is a classic for a reason. If you've always wanted to try it, this Waterfront location is great - since they do take reservations here! Great Sicilian food in the heart of Boston.

Grilled Octopus over mixed greens with Cherry Peppers and a balsamic glaze: A delightful surprise! The octopus was incredibly fresh, tender, and succulent, bursting with umami and a smoky aroma. The sweet and sour balsamic vinegar followed subtly, lively yet deeply penetrating the texture; the lemon juice added a refreshing and layered flavor. The sauce was also delicious with the greens. Shrimp and Scallops Fettuccini with Giacomo: The standard menu order is linguine, but we could ask the server to substitute other pasta, which was a thoughtful touch. The fettuccini is wider, with a better texture and more grain fragrance, although I felt it was cooked a bit too soft, softer than al dente. The shrimp and scallops were large and fresh, making for a very satisfying meal. Giacomo sauce is supposedly a lobster-based marinara sauce with a touch of béchamel sauce. The lobster flavor is actually quite subtle, but the combination of the two sauces avoids being overly sour or greasy. Plus, there's a generous amount of sauce, making it easy to mix. Overall, it's quite good. The restaurant is rather cramped, and the seating isn't very comfortable. A 20% tuition fee is automatically applied for groups of 5 or more. However, a waitress accidentally spilled water on my sleeve and didn't apologize immediately; she only brought me tissues after I asked. Thankfully, it wasn't hot water...
