I honestly expected better from a Mediterranean restaurant. Especially one located in Sea Port. Food was average, not the best. I have definitely had better food at smaller places than this one. I was very disappointed. In addition, doing a 9:15 Reservation, service was extremely slow. Servers were in over there head with the tables they were serving. The music they played when it hit 9:30 was probably the only positive from my experience. read more

Such a GORGEOUS restaurant in the Seaport! Theo and all of the staff are just lovely. The decor is so warm and welcoming. Every time I go in there I feel like family. And the food!!!!! Omg! It's insanely good! The Grilled Shrimp are like no other! And the Lentil Soup is a favorite of our whole friend group. This stunning spot is a winner on every level and I'm so excited to have it near my home! read more

WORST EXPERIENCE ON A RESTAURANT. STAY AWAY There are better Greek Places in Boston. We go there at least once a month with different companies from work and with different families. so we decided to go this Sunday with some friends and their families and called to make a reservation. The manager named PETER told me that you to give us your Credit Card and if you cancel we will charge $50.00 for each guest. So I said this is absurd and I am your customer and his response was " That's how we do business here !!!. So i told him that you have not ask us before for Credit cards when we made reservation and he said well thats chnged now . The irony of it was that he said if you want you can go to the other Limani and they do not ask you for Credit Card. ( So basically the other Limani is Dead slow and they can't treat Customers badly there yet. I explained to my Company that we were not going there and how they treated the customers and they all agreed that we should not step foot there again. We all can see why the place is empty almost every night. read more

A Disappointing Experience Marked by Poor Service- While the food at this Mediterranean restaurant is passable, the overall experience left much to be desired--particularly when it came to customer service and professionalism. From the start, interactions with the staff felt dismissive. Attempts to resolve an issue were met with excuses and a lack of accountability. For further context: We celebrated with a group of 10 for a birthday dinner. When it was time to close up our meal The waiter apparently placed the bags on the floor. When we noticed two of the bags were left. We quickly went back to the restaurant and they informed us that they were closed. After calling multiple times the next day (Saturday) we weren't able to get through to anyone. After calling multiple times--on both Saturday and Sunday--the response was inconsistent at best. I finally got ahold of the manager Sunday A manager eventually offered to "check security footage" but admitted there was "nothing they could do." While still remembering the bags they found at the table at the close of business. As a group of 10 we spent a lot of money at this restaurant just to be treated with such disregard. One of the most glaring moments of unprofessionalism was the handling of takeout orders. Rather than placing the bags on a counter or in a more sanitary location, the staff set them directly on the floor--an unacceptable practice for any establishment that claims to uphold high standards of service and etiquette. When we requested something to be done about the food we left, they refused to accommodate us, stating they were "already closed." Beyond service issues, the food itself was decent but not exceptional. In a city with no shortage of excellent Mediterranean restaurants, this one fails to stand out besides the aesthetic. The appetizers and entrees were fine, but certainly not worth the subpar treatment. Worse, our server was abrupt and cut us off when we had questions, making the experience feel very rushed and impersonal. With so many other options in D.C. offering both quality food and exceptional service, I can't say I'd recommend this place to be top 10 Mediterranean/Seafood in the city . A restaurant is more than just its menu--how customers are treated matters just as much, if not more. Unfortunately, this establishment falls short on both fronts. read more

Amazing service, great food and drinks. Loved the tempura cauliflower with truffle oil and the sea bass. Beautiful interior, lovely evening!

Amazing!!!!! I love this place!!! Authentic g Mediterranean food with terrific staff located in the coolest part of the seaport!! Highly recommended!!!!! I met my friend here for lunch, not many of the better restaurants were open for lunch so we came here-so happy we did!! What a great place !!! Gorgeous inside too I can't wait to go back! If I could give it more than five stars I would!! read more

This is a lovely restaurant in the Seaport District with amazing cocktails & incredible service. I took a group of customers to Limani for dinner & we were all thoroughly impressed. We had everything from octopus to sea bass to lobster linguine. Everything was prepared perfectly & served within a reasonable time frame. The General Manager came by the table a few times to make sure we were happy. Highly recommend! For the record, we visited in the late fall of 2023. I'm just behind on my reviews. read more

If they could ratchet down the prices and ratchet down the music volume (why not some Greek music, by the way?), this could be 5 stars. Well prepared and well served somewhat above average Greek food, but give me a $7 piece of Baklava, not a $15 "deconstructed" baklava. And I don't need to spend over $40 for a basic roasted lamb shank with some orzo. One of the hostesses,while very nice and pretty, did not, however, speak much English and she could not answer some basic questions. But a fun place overall, with good food, so we will be back. read more

Good food! Great service! Good for groups! Cocktails are insanely good! They didn't split our check, we had to pay everything in just one card! Other than that, Great Restaurant in Seaport!! read more

The food is SO FRESH and so delicious. My waiter, Frank, was very friendly and bought out the fresh whole fish for me to see how it looks before they got cooked. I absolutely love the seafood here. The fish was very smooth, melt in my mouth. However, the fish is big and I was very full halfway through my fish. The music was a bit loud with a full bar and restaurant was located next to the river at seaport. It's a great place for a hot date, group gathering. This restaurant also make their own olive oil in cool blue long bottles. read more

Arrived on time and got seated right away and then waited 30 mins for our drink order. Stinks took 20 more mins to arrive. I loved the octopus and grilled veggies. The lamb chops were awesome too. As well as the dessert. Our waiter screwed up so many times that it made for an stressful evening not enjoyable. We ordered two lamb chops and he brought one and salmon. Had to wait for the other lamb. Never brought us a second round drinks, but everything made it on the bill and then had to wait for it be corrected. The place is pretty. The air conditioning wasn't working well and they had the door open. The worst Patt of it is the music I felt like I was in a club in Mykonos in the 90s. Loud loud loud. It was like having a badly served meal in an old Greek disco for $200 per couple. read more

I really wanted to love this restaurant but most likely won't return. Waited 25-30 minutes for 3 drinks, were told multiple times that the bar was "backed up" and the drinks were coming. Our 3 apps came and were finished before the drinks even came. Unfortunately, had get the attention of the manager to finally get our drinks. Calamari was fine- not amazing, humus was bland and lacking flavor, "lamani chips" were great read more

Had an early dinner (4pm) with two friends. Food was excellent! Fresh and very tasty. Tomato salad & octopus appetizers were fantastic and the Chilean Sea-bass was a great entree. One of our people got the Lamb Shank with orzo = also VERY good! (Tender) Service with Marley was informative and smooth. Beautiful restaurant and would highly recommend. Try the table side Tiramisu which was whipped up personally by the manager. Excellent all-around! read more

Food was excellent - Service was exceptional! On extremely short notice, Limani was able to accommodate our party of thirteen this past weekend. We were seated immediately at a large comfortable table. Olive oil poured and toasted bread served as we reviewed the menu. Our waiter provided excellent guidance on what and how many appetizers to order - - - he was spot on with six for our table + 2dz Oysters. Mains were all well prepared and everyone enjoyed their meal. The women bussing our table kept water glasses filled, on an extremely hot day. Kept the table clean and organized. We never felt rushed but we were always moving forward. We had: Limani Chips - excellent fry and good tzatziki. Octopus - grilled with plenty of care. moist. Onions caramelized. Gigantes - Only miss of the night. Under seasoned Lamb shank(s) - unctuous succulent lamb with orzo melting in you mouth. My order was perfect! Fagri for two - expertly grilled and served tableside. Salmon and swordfish - expertly grilled. Lamb chops - don't sleep on the greek fries. Lobster Mac - popular with the table (pro tip-dunk greek fries in extra cheese sauce) Really, a very enjoyable dinner. Would highly recommend. read more

The food here was delicious!!! Recommend the ahi tuna or sea bass. We will definitely be returning. Very friendly staff.

Yes, money can buy love. I had the pleasure of visiting this location while in Boston for the week. Service is top notch, all for Mario his vibe and energy isn't stuffy but so open and fun. We ordered the zucchini chips, and cauliflower for starters. They push the chips but in my opinion the truffle cauliflower was the star of the entire evening. Must get! We each ordered an entree which came out piping hot and delicious, the presentation on my lobster linguine was Check this place out, it's beautiful, good is phenomenal and in a great part of town. Thank you for making my trip memorable. read more

Went for an Anniversary Dinner. Sat in a lovely comfortable booth. The service was very good. The food was good, not amazing. We ordered the Limani chips as an appetizer. This was delicious and would order this again and again. Our entrees were the lamb shank and the Chilean Sea Bass. The portion of the lamb was large and it tasted very good, but missing some depth of flavor. The orzo was cooked a perfect al dente and was quite flavorful. The Chilean Sea Bass was very underwhelming. The portion was quite small and the fish on it's own was quite bland. A combined bite with the purée, Brussels and bacon it was much better but still, missing something... The drinks were good, and overall the meal was nice but we won't be rushing back. read more

I regret our experience at Limani. That is in the best sense. We ate too much. It was all good. Our party of four consisted of two runners who would be doing the Memorial Day half marathon twelve hours later and our respective spouses (college roommates). I was worried we had ordered more than we could finish. Nobody listened. We just about did it. I hate to waste food. I was more than prepared for the race. We had chopped salad, the chips, lobster mac and cheese, chicken meatballs, fava beans, mussels, and a whole fish. The salad had a few tiny peppers, round ones that were just right for me but too hot for my wife. The chips are made of zucchini and eggplant, alternating, served with tzatziki, cut so thin it must have been done with one of those scary mandolins and fried by someone whose hand and timing are experienced and perfect. The lobster made and cheese is what the runners consumed for calories. Although the chicken meatballs are not my favorite dish, these were about the best I have tried. Fava beans are something I always think to myself I ought to have more of. The mussels were the smaller type my wife favors. The fish was great, fresh and at a midpoint between flaky and meaty and fishy and not. I had non alcoholic beer. That is a product that has been improved greatly. The complimentary bread was served with their house brand olive oil. The server was attentive. The manager (or maitre d or more important server, in a pink jacket from the Miami Vice catalog, a compliment and not a criticism -- I'd like to have one of those) came by to check on things. They were busy. That's a good sign. The whole neighborhood was bustling. As a New Yorker, I get to Boston maybe every other year. I don't remember this area as being so popular. It is good to see. PS My friend finished first in his division. I finished at the back of the pack, but I passed people successively as the race progressed. read more

Waitstaff was attentive. We were in a bit of a hurry and were very direct I've to waitstaff. They responded and delivered food and drink quickly, as we requested. Good service. Drinks were a bit pricey - averaging over $15 per drink. Enjoyed the MANY appetizers and variety of sharing items...some Greek and some traditional. Crab cake was small but all meat (no filler). Calamari, spinach pie, and octopus were good sharing items. read more

Don't waste your time/money. Beautiful space- wonderful location. OK appetizers but waited 40" for dinner to be served. Table was empty so there was no mistake we were WAITING for our main courses. When dinners came, they were plated attractively but no flavor - nothing was good - mediocre to the max! How can you ruin Chilean bass? They did! read more

Inattentive and indifferent service! My friend and I sat for over one hour at a table near the kitchen (so they definitely knew we were waiting and ignored us) and we had to ask two staff people and the maitre'd (who put in the wine request) before someone came to take our order. People who arrived after us received their meals. This lack of service was not smart from a business perspective on their part, since we occupied a table for over an hour without any beverage or food other than the complimentary bread. I sent a complaint the next day through their contact form, and then followed up again two weeks later. I still haven't received a response so now I'm posting this review. Also, be sure that you don't accept the booth outside of kitchen, since it is hot and not well-ventilated. This is not a place for a quiet meal--it's a noisy atmosphere with poor acoustics. Overall, it was a terrible dining experience because of their blatant lack of hospitality. There was no effort to compensate the poor service or offer an explanation regarding why we had to wait while others, who arrived after us, did not. (My friend had made a reservation through Resy, so we were not walk-ins.) Quality of food is fine but portions are haute cuisine-small, which we expected and that would have been fine if the service had been acceptable. We still tipped 20% because we know how much staff depends on gratuities. We were incredulous at the lack of management and customer service, and they continue to show indifference by not responding to me in the aftermath. read more

Terrible experience in a nearly empty restaurant at 1:00 pm this past Saturday. Servers trained to swipe your dishes away while you are still eating the food on them, chicken souvlaki served medium rare, sent back, then cut up and returned to table overcooked; flavorless tomatoes in the salad, under seasoned avgolemono. Shocking inattention to detail in such a high-priced restaurant. The fish and fries were both very good, but I'll never go back. read more

Stopped in for a late lunch after visiting the Snowport. Ordered a bunch of shareable apps and drinks from expansive menu. My mom is still talking about the grilled octopus! We also shared the Cauliflower (mmmm), chicken meatballs (delish), Limani Chips (the best!). For dessert we shared the deconstructed baklava (DO IT!) and the table side prepared Greek tiramisu (yassss!). Beautiful decor and lovely staff. Looking forward to going back for dinner someday. read more

I debated between giving this restaurant 3 or 4 stars. I guess I decided on 3 because of the value for the price. First the good: the space is beautiful and stylish, and not too loud to have conversation. The grilled calamari was the freshest we ever had; it literally tasted like the sea. With a little charring from the grill, it was delicious. The lamb chops were well-flavored, as was the bone-in ribeye. Where things could be improved: the staff was fine technically, just not welcoming or friendly. The waiter did not introduce himself, and literally did not talk to us the entire time. Once we finished our meal, he just handed us dessert menus. Regarding the food: I ordered the lamb chops medium rare (3), with "Greek fries" which were supposedly dolled up with feta and something else (sorry I forgot). My chops were served medium to well, and the Greek fries were the same fries that came with hubby's rib-eye. They had some oregano sprinkled on them. Also, the plate had 1 sprig of rosemary on it; i thought throwing a piece of broccoli or a green bean or 2 on the plate would have balanced it out better. Thankfully the chops were flavorful. I ate them without comment because my husband gets mortified if I send something back. The fries were good too, but at $48, I thought they should have been more special and the meat should have been medium rare. I feel sure they would have made it right if I had spoken up. My husband said the ribeye was good, but honestly it did not look like a 22 oz cut of meat. Also, he didn't offer me a bite, so I'm thinking it wasn't too special. (He always shares when he's impressed with the meat). His fries, which were billed as just plain "fries" were the same as mine. The asparagus looked beautiful and he said they were good. We considered dessert, but at $16 each, decided against it. Weirdly, my menu had the Pavlova at $14, while my husband's had it listed for $16. I came closed to requesting "the $14 Pavlova", but didn't want to be a smart-ass. I get that the overhead is likely very high at this location, but the prices were unusually steep for the value provided. I would give this place another shot next time we're in the area, but might stick to the Greek entrees instead. For context, we were in Boston for 8 days and ate out in the Seaport area every night, so we were not strangers to the restaurant prices in the area. read more

Some of the best fish we've had in Boston, and all the mezze were divine-- prepared with aplomb and good taste.

Good luck with this great venture! read more

We had a very good meal and our server, Mario, provided excellent and friendly service.

Terrible services. We had a reservation for 6 people at 8:30pm. Food is nothing to "wow". We felt like we're in Chinatown eating cheap Chinese food during rush lunch hour that the server brought out the bill and asked us the paid and get the out so they can close and go home. Note it happened before 10pm, and they're closing time is 11pm. Would not come back and would never recommend this place. read more
