Had the best time here celebrating with family. We got some great drinks, a martini tower, espresso martinis, some punch, wines, and they were great! The Kentucky derby was going on, so the restaurant was full of people having a good time - plus there was a live DJ! We got the lobster linguini, a couple of NY strips, calamari, Greek salads, fries, onion rings, fish, and fillet mignon. Truly a very good time with even better company and food to match. read more

Very pretty spacious eatery with an open kitchen and beautiful bar. We stopped in for lunch but missed the lunch special by half an hour. Our first server was very nice but timid and did not check on our table much however at shift change we got a very confident, quick server who we loved. Just like the servers, our first drinks took over 20 minutes to come out despite there only being 4 other tables but our second round was much quicker. What we ordered: -Limani Chips 4.5/5: super crispy alternating zucchini and egg plant with a thick tzatziki dip highly recommend -Feta wrapped Phyllo 2/5: not enough honey, idk didn't end up being very interesting -Ceviche 10/5: my boyfriend said this is some of the best he's had, super super fresh and good portion -Lamb chops 4/5: cooked well and tasty but a little dry and maybe needed a fun sauce to stand out? The fries were thick and crispy - Halibut 4.6/5: beautiful presentation, super fresh, fish was cooked really well and I loved the seasonal veggie selection I just wish it had more of the olive oil/pesto sauce read more

Nice Concept, But Execution Falls Short for a Big Night Out We had a big group -- more than 15 of us -- and dropped a good chunk of money on this dinner, so yeah, we were hoping for a solid night. Sadly, it didn't quite come together. Honestly, the service was what got us the most. You could tell the staff genuinely wanted to make it work -- they weren't indifferent or rude -- but wanting it and delivering it are two different things. Two people in our group never got their complete meals. At a table our size, that's a tough one to overlook. Drinks were taking 20, sometimes 30 minutes to show up, and at some point, we just stopped expecting them to come at all. Then there was the music. I don't mind a lively atmosphere, but this was something else. We asked the manager -- more than once -- to please turn it down, and each time they nodded and smiled and... nothing changed. Trying to have a conversation felt like shouting across a concert. That wears on you after a while. Food-wise, it wasn't all bad. The appetizers were genuinely good and got our hopes up. But the main plates kind of let us down. We shared the fish for two, and it was just flat -- no real flavor, nothing memorable. For the price, we expected a little more love on the plate. Look, it's not a terrible place. But it's charging top-dollar prices and delivering a mid-level experience. With service that uneven and a dining room that loud, it's hard to recommend it for a special occasion -- or honestly, for any occasion. We won't be going back. read more

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! read more

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) read more

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. read more

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. read more

Review is only for coming here for drinks but I wouldn't mind coming back to try the food at some point. First, let me paint a scene of the Friday evening layout. Picture a regular dining room layout in a fancy-ish, business-y restaurant. Now add a DJ and a violinist to the mix. It was such an odd mis-match of vibes - I have no idea how the people sitting right in front of the music were still able to hear each other. If they had added a small dance floor or moved some of the tables further back, it would have made more sense. At some point, they cranked the volume way, way up even as people were still eating. My friend and I were in mid-sentence when the sound ramped up with zero warning. That said, the DJ and the violinist were absolutely incredible - honestly, the staid atmosphere was just a waste of their talents. They ought to have been performing in a club with a more appreciative crowd. The playlist in particular spanned everything from early 2000 pop hits to more niche throwbacks from the 80s/90s to Arab/African house tracks. The violinist too brought such a dynamic vibe. It was like a very small piece of the NYC club scene got plopped into a Boston restaurant and brought fond memories of my early 20s. My spicy watermelon margarita was super strong, spicy, and sweet - no complaints. read more

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! read more

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! read more

Beautiful, fresh food, some of it different from your usual Greek restaurant. They have several gorgeous whole fish entrees, the specialty being sea salt roasted fish, filleted right at your table. We had about 5 different dishes for the table, all beautifully prepared. The sauce was too sweet on one of them, and the chef took notes, and the manager comped it for us. Above and beyond. The service was so attentive, with the manager present and engaging with guests. Excellent teamwork. Everyone there but us was in their 20s and 30s, probably because after dinner hours (which end earlier on Boston than in BYC), the place becomes a hot night spot. A fabulous place to go for a celebratory occasion. My only complaint is that it is not very close to a T station. read more

Ate here this evening as it was close to our hotel. Just a fabulous restaurant. The food was incredible. Fresh , upscale but non pretentious. Clean and Immaculate decor and seating . I had the chicken and my wife had the sea bass. We dine out a great deal and can't remember a better meal we have had in a number of years. Everything was hand cut and prepared. The attention to detail and service was amazing. Definitely Michelin star quality at a value that was shockingly good ! read more

Brunch | $50-60 So we called ahead let them know that are party was big weeks beforehand. We were promised a buffet. Instead we were given a menu for lunch. Okay fine. We arrived on time and everything but we weren't greeted as kindly. It was my father's and my grandfather's birthday we called ahead to get cupcakes never got an answer back. We arrive today and I do admit it was a busy day for an event on seaport. But we are immediately greeted with "What do you want?" Before even asking for drinks or aps not even five minutes later. We had to ask to get drinks after food. I am no server but I've been to plenty of restaurants before this isn't my first restaurant. I am a very picky eater my mother is vegetarian some people don't even eat fish. It's not a friendly place for us which I get it but I was not even good vegan and vegetarian options. If your going to try different options atleast make them good and not just put butter on it. A fast food restaurant could honestly do better even with the time. Half of our party didnt get served until 30 minutes AFTER everybody else ate. Service was terrible the head server was rude and terrible just wanted us out of their I know some places have a 90 minute service they didnt have that. Honestly your servers could've gotten a lot more tips if they actually cared. I felt bad for one of the busses she dropped a plate by accident and he gave her the stink eye which tells me something. If this was a 1 star bar I wouldn't even send John tafter or Gordon Ramsay here. Food: 1/5 | Service: 1/5 | Atmosphere: 3/5 Wait time No wait Vegetarian options Terrible only two options for vegetarians Dietary restrictions Terrible especially for gluten free NO options I myself am not gluten free but I alaways look just incase a friend is Parking space Not sure Kid-friendliness No. read more

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. read more

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! read more

I would like to start off by saying, I did not get the best service right when I walked through that door, but I really enjoyed the food. So I gave it a 3 stars for the food and deducted the 2 stars for the service I got. Service: I was a walk in guest and asked if there was any tables, the host told me it was fully booked tonight (even though there was literally so many empty seats). I walk out and check online to make a rsvp. There were so many tables open from 5-8. So I made a rsvp and walked right back in. She proceeded to tell me "Im glad you guys cane back there was a cancellation on the rsvp". Ok... got seated orders taken, appetizers came out within 10 minutes. The entree took 20, not too long not too fast I guess was just surprised. When we got the food, they didn't even ask us if we needed anything else nor did they notice that we were missing a fork. Had to wait a long time just to get someone to get me a fork. Towards the end we were waiting for our waiter to get the check and takeout boxes, but he was no where to be found. When the manager walked by I asked if he could get us the boxes, he said he will find someone for me. He never even did because the waiter finally came back and I had to ask him again. Service was just slow. Food: I really enjoyed the octopus, it was full of flavor and easy to chew. The fish was very good as well. The steak was not bad, if only they had better steak knives. I could barely cut mine with their steak knife... Ambiance: as we were leaving it did get more packed. The bathroom was pretty neat and clean. I liked how big and roomy the restaurant was. The lighting wasn't too dark, and lots of window views from every corner. read more

The experience was disappointing from the moment we walked in. The person at the front was so rude and unwelcoming that it immediately put us in a bad mood--before we even had a chance to sit down. First impressions matter, and this was a terrible one. This is absolutely the wrong person to have greeting customers. A warm welcome sets the tone for the entire meal, and instead, we felt like an inconvenience. In hindsight, we should have just turned around and left--but we stayed, and that turned out to be a big mistake. read more

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. read more

This restaurant had great ratings but disappointed. It's clearly popular but the food was not that great and the prices were higher than warranted. Nice decor but painfully loud. Customers were shouting at each other over the noise. I had the lobster over linguine. It was ok, nothing special. The red sauce was apparently a Greek sauce and unusual. It may have been great but it did not appeal to me. The service was sufficient but unengaged. The hostess was kind, busy, and attentive. Too bad they don't let her train the servers. This will be one and done for me. read more

This was a great greek spot. Loved how they decorated inside. Service was attentive. They have a nice 30 lunch deal, get to choose a starter, main and dessert. That is the option I opted for lunch. Got the greek salad(pretty simple flavor), tenderloin kebab(I did ask for medium cook but it was more well done and steak was hard but good flavor) I loved their take on tzaziki, and walnut sponge cake. We also got the cauliflower which i LOVE LOVED. Cooked to perfection. read more

Food was mediocre and service was abysmal. We sat for hours without acknowledgement from our server. After 40 mins of not being offered drinks, a server who wasn't on our table finally thankfully came to help us, which was not his job. This place totally missed the mark. Would not recommend coming here. read more

This place was fantastic! We work for a Greek company so 7 of us made a reservation while in town for work and it didn't disappoint. We had quite a variety of food and shared it amongst ourselves. The staff was great and attentive and even gave us some dessert at the end which was a welcome surprise! We all loved the food and drinks, below is a list of what we ordered: - Limani Chips - Pikilia (dip sampler) - Tomato Salad - Moussaka - Feta wrapped Phyllo - Shrimp Saganaki - Octopus - Grille Halloumi - Lamb Shank - Lemon Potatoes They also gave us the following for dessert: - Deconstructed Baklava - Karidopita - Portokalpoita The highlight for me was the feta wrapped phyllo, Limani chips, and the dip sampler... and of course the desserts! They even brought some sorbet for one of my coworkers as he is allergic to nuts. We will definitely be back, hopefully next year! read more

I came here for happy hour two days in a row and it was nice and quiet during the weekdays, despite being here for a conference at the Omni. Christina, the bartender, is so sweet. She recommended the sliders and they're definitely tasty and very tender. The buns were soft and moist. The duxbury oysters were fresh and delicious that I got them both days. Would love to come back and try their other food options next time. read more

Overpriced mediocre food. We went with a large party of 13 and understand that could mean delays in getting served but it took them 2 whole hours from when we sat down to us getting our mediocre food. The ambiance is nice and it looks nice and clean in there but the food is definitely not worth the price tag. I usually don't leave reviews but this place was so disappointing and I regret spending any time or money there. read more

Such a great spot for a nice dinner! A little pricey, but worth it. We had drinks, appetizers, and entrees and walked out ready to explode. Portions were huge, but although I didn't love my dish, service and ambiance were good. I'd definitely go back and try other items on their menu! read more

It is good. It is, admittedly, quite expensive. But you are in Seaport. When in Rome, my dear. Tomato and Halloumi was our favorite dish. Moussaka also good. Grilled octopus, just not my favorite on account of the strong fennel taste. Would leave 3.5 stars, erring on the side of 4 read more

Outstanding! Very nice decor! Friendly host staff and manager. Bar is well stocked and hosts a good selection of wines and spirits! Servers were friendly and knowledgeable of the menu and also about the wine list as well as the specials drink menu. Food was amazing! Some of the best grilled octopus I have had to date!!! Ret of the apps were also amazing and for entries, I went with the lamb shank, outstanding.! Try the burger!!! Over all all the food had great flavor and proportions! Well worth it. I very much enjoyed my dining experience and look forward to my next experience here!!! read more

After a long morning of meetings, my team went out for lunch at Limanis. It's a nice interior with plenty of seating and a nice vibe. I appreciated the lunch special - $30 for an app, entree, and dessert. The tomatoes in the Greek salads we got were huge, accompanied with all sorts of veggies but no lettuce. My salmon entree was flavorful, and the dessert (raspberry and lemon sorbet) was yummy. Service was fine, my waitress kept filling my glass with sparkling water even though I kept asking for still. Overall 3.5/5, good value for lunch but otherwise I like other places in the area more. read more

Popped in here for a late lunch with a couple friends today. We didn't have reservations but we were able to be seated immediately. We split the grilled haloumi and octopus starters which were excellent. I also really enjoyed my avgolemono soup but I've never had it with carrots and celery before so it was a bit more of a chicken and veggie soup. Still yummy but not quite what I was expecting. Our server Mario was fantastic. Attentive, friendly, and he always kept my water glass full which matters a LOT to me. Dishes were cleared when we were done but I never felt rushed. I would be happy to be back for a more substantial meal in the future! Great spot in the Boston restaurant scene. read more

Food was AMAZING. Drinks were strong, my favorite drink was the spicy watermelon martini. I think I had 4. I had the cucumber one but it taste like juice so I ordered another one - the waiter didn't take it off my bill. The food - We were a big party of 17 and had one of everything appetizers.... My favorite was the Brussels spouts, fried cheese and Mac and cheese but they were all yummy amd So good. I had the lobster linguini..... OMG! Amazing.... And a big portion! Hands down amazing restaurant!!!!! Everyone's dish was amazing. The lamb,, halibut, scallops, even the burger was awwwwww.... Now the service - Tomas was our waiter until the bill came then we saw another side of him we didn't care for. From us wanting to pay for the bill and he basically gave us the rules when we were trying to inquire then very dismissive when we had questions and walked away. We gave one card and was told that the card was declined - which was not true. He then had a brief argument with my friend saying she took the check. When she told him harshly I DONOT have it. He went back and found it - where he left it at the register. He then ran the card again. This morning her card had been charged 2x. And it went through. He came back and made a smart remark about us doing something to make it work. It was a CC what could we do??? - and he kept the card the entire time. Then one of the party at the table asked for a drink and he was again dismissive - I closed your bill. We found our way to the bar and ordered more drinks. The think that erked me was he that he got a $350 tip and didn't say thank you. We spent 2200.00. The owners and chef are doing a great job! read more

Flavors - 3.5/5 Textures - 4.5/5 Presentation - 3.5/5 Value for Money - 3.5/5 Would return? No I went for lunch to try their $34 fixed menu. The food here is good and very well executed, although I'd say more mediterranean than Greek. The flavors are basic, there is nothing new, innovative or interesting about it... but again well seasoned and balanced. I tried their crab cakes and trio of dips as appetizers, both very tasty! Warning that the crab cake is one bite. Then I tried the Dorade fish and Salmon for entrees, just basic grilled fish with lemon and steamed veggies. Cooked to perfection though! Dessert was a cinnamon walnut cake with ice cream and the sorbet, both good but nothing too exciting. I wouldn't return just because their menu is not that exciting. read more

I've been here a few times hoping thing would get better but I have to say each time the food was just ok. We started with the lumani chips which were really good. I then went with the lamb chops. ... oh man. Started off all wrong. Meal was supposed to come with Greek fries, nope they got that wrong. When I mentioned it to the waiter no, let me check on it, fix it, nothing, not even an apology. The lamp chops were cooked well but lacked taste. And yeah we'll that was it. read more

We had guests in town for the Easter weekend and decided to go to Limani Grille which is just across from the ICA. It is a gorgeous space and the service was beyond compare. Mario was so attentive and helped us decide what we would like best on the extensive menu. We started with some freshly made bread with a fine olive oil for dipping and, to share, the Limani chips, grilled calamari, Maryland crab cakes and lemon potatoes. The spiked cucumber lemonade, red sangria and some glasses of wine were a nice lead in to the lunch of either the avgolemono soup or lentil soup and prasini salads with chicken. The coffee with the desserts was very satisfying on a chilly spring day. Definitely will return! read more

Main courses Chilean sea bass, swordfish ,halibut,lamb shank and grill lamb chops. Everything was cook to perfection! At the end of our meal the waiter brought out dessert to celebrate a birthday which was very nice and appreciated it! The bill came and noticed several items we were charged for but didn't get!
