To say that this location underwent a transformation would be an understatement. The owners took over a shabby old building, completely gutted the insides, and turned lead into gold. Aesthetically, the atmosphere inside somehow manages to both feel upscale and comfortable at the same time. The bar/lounge area is open and comfortable, without intruding on the main dining room. The dining area has the perfect mix between tables/booths for small groups of 2-4 as well as room to fit larger gatherings. I have visited this location twice now, once with a small group of friends, and another for a company dinner. During our first visit, we came at 8:00PM and were promptly seated. The restaurant was busy, but not overcrowded. Our servers were extremely professional, and clearly explained all of the mouth-watering specials for the evening. After the delicious meals and fantastic service we had the first time around, we knew this was the perfect place to book our company's holiday dinner party. The dinner took place at 7:00PM and, once again, the restaurant was busy, but not overcrowded. We were given a private room off of the main dining area, which was secluded and kept quiet by the curtains in the doorway. We couldn't have been happier with that room. We started with a few drinks. I would certainly recommend their Fig Vodka specialty cocktail. It was not too sweet and not too sour. We also tried this uniquely flavored drink which tasted like blue Curacao and coconut, mixed with a minty sour. I would only recommend it if you are a fan of more sour flavors. Our table was also brought a mix of breads, accompanied by two incredible spreads. You could really have nothing else for your entire meal and be satisfied, so it was difficult to hold myself back from ruining my appetite. I have gotten to try almost every appetizer on the menu so far, and have yet to be disappointed. My top three favorites so far have been the Limani Chips, the Fried Octopus, and the Mixed Mushrooms. To start, they somehow managed to transform some fruits into a delectable kind of Potato Chip. Not only did the included dip do the chips justice, but the pieces of Kefalograviera cheese provided a uniquely satisfying flavor that I hadn't previously known. Everyone needs to have a taste of this cheese at least once. As for the Fried Octopus, it was coupled with fried red onions. The octopus itself tasted like a flavorful sea chicken, so much so that it even tricked one of our Octopus-hating party members into loving it. And finally, the mixed mushrooms had me dancing. The appetizer came with a variety of mushrooms of different shapes and sizes, that were blackened and juicy. All appetizers came with the perfect amount to share between 2-3 people. Moving on to the main course, I first had the Black Sea Bass. It was cooked perfectly, and came pre-cut. I shared it with one other person and it was delicious. However, after trying the others' entrees, I learned who the real star of the show is: The 24oz Pork. When I tell you this is the single best cut of Pork i've ever tasted in my life, I mean it. Limani's chefs managed to create a work of art with that perfectly cooked Pork. The pork is a 24oz cut of meat, that is seasoned and lightly charred. It cuts like butter, and melts in your mouth. You can think of it like a delicious Ribeye that you'd have at the best steakhouses. Both dishes were accompanied with juicy lemon potatoes shaped like steak fries, but much tastier. I also recommend the asparagus and Lobster Mac n' Cheese as a nice compliment. To finish off the evening, I went with a few different flavors of Sorbet. Just wow. I had almost forgotten what good Sorbet tastes like, free of any frozen crystals, and full of flavor. The dessert was both light and refreshing, which was perfect after having such a large meal both times. It cleansed my pallet and gave me the little boost I needed to get home. Our other party members all raved about the Ekmek, which I know i'll have to try on my next visit. One of their specials was a cheesecake which wasn't on the menu, but also tasted delicious. If you like cheesecake, definitely ask about it. Every staff member took great care of us, and did so with a smile. They were willing to work with us to accommodate our needs and allergies, while offering to make things off of the menu for the picky children in our group. Our glasses were never empty as there was always someone checking on us to make sure we were satisfied. The food here isn't very cheap, but the quality out values the cost by far. However, their lunch menu seems much more affordable; I can't wait to try it out. I highly recommend everyone consider coming here, and booking this place for their next gathering/event. read more

Great food, service and atmosphere. The bar is beautiful., comfortable and well stocked. Drinks are great too! We will definitely be back! read more

Wonderful service, food and wine were great! We were visiting from outside of NY and found this gem!

Wish I could give More Stars but Tonight was our Last Time that we will be dinning at Limani at there Commack location,, The Noise Level is Out of Control,, We met friends for what we thought would be a nice night but unfortunately we we're near a table of 6 who couldn't care less who was around them as they were louder that going to a Baseball game, Even a few other tables who we actually new had the same issues as they couldn't have a conversation due to the Acoustics and loudness,, Even when the Waiter came over to ask if we wanted Dessert we had to decline due to the noise level, He actually agreed as he knew that there was a problem, What a Shame we they spent a lot of money building a beautiful place but If You can't go out and enjoy your dinner and drinks why Go,, We never saw a Manager as tonight would of been a great time for them to Actually walk around and see if people were actually enjoying their Dinning Experience, Guess when you own so many places there's no needs to , lol After spending $400 which included a bottle of wine. We think that there are many other places to spend our money and Actually enjoy our dinner, If you're thinking of going for a Nice dinner with Great Conversation this is Not the place, Our Waiter Joshua was Fantastic ,,Hey can't blame the Waiter , It's totally a Management issue and Must be Addressed, read more

Overpriced first of all! First time in there, nice interiors Service was not great. Nick was nice but didn't execute. Water and wine glasses weren't kept filled or asked if we needed anymore. My friend and I went in there for the first time and probably won't return. Management has to implore better training to its employees read more

So thankful Limani opened up in Commack. Been here a few times since it opened and it's stupendous, from the lunch specials, the cleanliness, the awesome staff and the quality of the food. Usually a recently opened restaurant takes time to work out its kinks, but Limanis was ready from the getgo. read more

Really nice place! The ambiance was great and the food was excellent! I enjoyed all food and desert! read more

Couldn't have had a better meal ! Chilean Sea Bass !! And for the hubby filet mignon kebabs !! Bog chef kiss !!

Food doesn't live up to the price. Service was just ok. Don't throw away your money for the sake of being bourgeoise

My friend and I ordered the red snapper and it was amazing. Service was great. Atmosphere was decent. The beet salad was outstanding. I will definitely be back real soon! read more

Food was not good. If you are single and want a fun event seems Thursday night with a DJ is the place for you. My husband and I were looking for an upscale dinner restaurant. The staff and the service was wonderful but the food did not measure up. read more

I took my mom for Mother's Day and they had an exceptional displays of food . Soo much variety . Organic Salmon, chicken piccata, chicken parm . Moussaka, Calamari . Bacon, eggs pancakes waffles . Croissants muffins cakes yogurt parfait. Cheese,breads. A chocolate fondue fountain. Cheese pies. Continental mixed w Greek food. Loved it . Love the ambience . The negative was the prime rib at carving station was way overcooked. Also the beef sliders overcooked as well. A little disappointed as all the other food was great! Also the service was not good. Possibly because gratuity was included. The waiter poured a slight bit of water for my mom then walked away... odd . We could barely get his attention for anything. read more

Food was good, not quite worth the price paid. Extremely noisy , considering many empty tables. If you want a quiet place for dinner this is not the place for you. Hard to hear the waitstaff. It was a special occasion for us so we ordered a second glass of wine which was never brought to our table even though we asked the waiter(s) to check. It had to be removed from the bill. Disappointed as we enjoy that kind of food but have no desire to return read more

I've been trying to get in touch for days to set up a reservation and either I'm immediately put on hold by a young lady and she never comes back to the phone OR the phone rings and rings and I'm disconnected. What a great way to loose customers without even stepping in the door! read more

I was able to make 7pm reservations on a Saturday night early that same afternoon... I've wanted to try Limani Grille for a while now after reading many positive and great reviews of the food there. We arrived about 30 min early and took 2 seats at the crowded bar for a cocktail before dinner. A generous bourbon pour (Blanton's with a large cube... $24) definitely got the night started on the right, albeit expensive foot. After being seated, the waiter, Nick, came to take our order... we started with the grilled octopus which was seasoned and grilled perfectly... super tender too. We also had the Greek salad... beautiful red, ripened tomatoes with cucumbers and onions with a light dressing... the tomatoes were amazing... and in March too !! Our 2 entrees were the Halibut and the Chilean Sea Bass... both were melt-in-your-mouth delicious. 2 more cocktails were brought to us as we considered dessert. Without too much hesitation, we decided to share the baklava, which came with a scoop of sorbet on the side... a fantastic touch to offset the 'not overly sweet,' delicate walnut and honey filled filo dough dessert. The service was attentive but not bothersome and both our apps/starters and entrees came out very quickly... the restaurant was packed and there were still people streaming in by the front door. It is a very noisy and lively restaurant... so if you're looking for a quiet, romantic date night ... you might want to go elsewhere... but if delicious Mediterranean food is what you're after... you have to try Limani Grille... it's definitely NOT the old Bonwitt Inn, that's for sure. We will definitely go back, there's a lot of different entrees to try. read more

I actually came here two nights in a row because the drinks were awesome. The food was really good too, however the portions were small for sharing (appetizers). I suggest getting the lobster mac & cheese and Limani chips! read more

So Good! Food, service and atmosphere were excellent. We went with four adults and four children under 4 and everyone was so nice and accommodating. Our server Jarred could not have been more patient or pleasant. The menu is mouthwatering as was the food when it arrived. Can't say enough how good it really was and can't wait to go back. I had the lamb chops, spanakopita and traditional lemon soup which was best I ever had. read more

AWFUL. took an hour to get a bottle of wine. another hour to get tasteless average very expensive food. will never go back.

Went there 2/1/23 for dinner with friends and ordered off the prixe-fixe menu. Food very good and service by George was excellent.

Not one vegetarian dinner option on the entire dinner menu!!!! Really disappointing!!! Wanted to try this place. No now

Sunday buffet brunch. Terrible. Made us wait 20 minutes before they opened the door, citing "we're not ready yet, just give us a few more minutes". So why take reservations? If it weren't a Sunday we would have left but wth an elderly mother and young daughter, I wasn't about to drive around and have to look for another place so we waited. Btw, there was already a private party inside. Once inside, being that it was nearly empty, service was ok. Food was lukewarm, coffee was cold, had to ask twice for hot coffee. Chilled lobster and a carving station was probably their justification for $60pp charge. Not worth it. Have had better brunches with better food and better prices elsewhere. I may give it a shot for dinner since it's so near our home. I've been to the other Limanis for dinner so we'll see how this fares. But they need to do better for brunch. Waste of money. read more

The fish was SO fresh. It was absolutely delicious. The service was great The place was beautiful. read more

This is a tough review to leave. I have eaten here 3x's and truthfully the food is 4-5 stars and the place is very nice. Now for the problems. The specials all have strange times they are available on different says (Price Fixe available from 4:30-5:30 on one day and all day on another, unless you have more than 4 people at a table). The arrogance here astounds me, That might work in Roslyn but probably not here. The prices are also high. A glass of house white wine is $16, come on its Commack for goodness sake. A dinner for 4 here will cost you $300-$400 all in. Sorry to say it is just not worth the aggravation of eating there, like I said, its too bad the food is good. Just not good enough to tolerate the overlaying attitude. read more

This is my second time eating here. The first time was spectacular. This time, not so much. Drinks and apps (Limani Chips and Grilled Octopus) were quite good. Steak kebabs were mediocre, uninteresting, and fries were rather soggy. My husband's king crab was also mediocre, his Brussels sprouts were not hot. Having been to Manhasset and Roskyn and enjoyed them, our expectations were high. Funny thing, my husband talked me into it for my birthday today. Maybe Tuesday isn't the day to go‍ This restaurant should always exceed expectations, sadly, tonight, it did not. read more

Had dinner with my wife and cousins last night and all I can say is WOW! From the minute we arrived until we left almost 4 hours later, our experience was nothing short of fabulous! From the pleasant greeting of our hostess to the fantastic service and drinks at the bar while we waited for my cousins to arrive; to the most enjoyable server I have ever had at a restaurant. Our server,Lina was knowledgeable, well versed, and appropriately funny. Her recommendations were spot on and the food was one of the best meals I ever had. Would highly recommend Limani Grill!! read more

Such a let down!!!! Went to try the food to consider it for my daughters first birthday.... Well thank god I did. I have been to Limani in Roslyn MANY times and food is always unbelievable so I had the same expectations here. I saw some not so great reviews but was optimistic anyway. We had a few appetizers which were extremely salty and bland. Same goes for the entrees the branzino had no flavor and the lamb chops were tough and chewy. The staff was great very polite and attentive, the restaurant is gorgeous. We will sadly not be returning. read more

Finally went to Limani Grille. I have no idea what to fuss is about. The food was cold and not very flavorful. The place is beautiful and service was good, but the food needs much improvement before we go back. We took our parents for their anniversary, very disappointing!! read more

Newly opened in Commack and we decided to check it out as we loved the one in Great Neck . The place was crowded and very very noisy on weekday . The food is mediocre and selection limited . The tuna steak was not well cooked and fish for two , red snapper was very very bland . The staff server are good and attentive . Nothing special . Poorly done wine and desert menu . Hopefully it will improve with time . Till then I won't visit . read more

Needs help ! Needs staff! Needs presentation ! Not worth the money nothing like there Roslyn location. French fries just thrown on a plate as a side! Fish flat and dry ! I think it's just busy cause people are trying it out and also it sounds fancy to go to! Not worth ur time! Had to tell the waiter to clean the table after every dish. Place is a mess! Will prob not go back. read more

Expensive (then again, what isn't these days?) crab cake (singular) was deep fried and overcooked. Octopus was undercooked. Chicken on skewers was dry. All was sent back. Service was adequate. Move on. read more

Not as good as Lamini in Roslyn or in NYC by Rockefeller Center (Near the Christmas Tree). Had higher expectations and was looking forward to the opening. The service is lacking and the food is not up to par. But they do charge the big prices like the other 2 Lamini's. Maybe it will improve as time goes on?? read more

Completely overrated. The service was terrible they brought us the wrong food we kept it as we did not want to wait. Their customer service was horrible. Go to Kyma in Roslyn or Neraki in Huntington much better read more

The outdoor atmosphere was lovely, however the music indoors was extremely loud, too loud to converse freely, so we chose a table outside. The Greek salad and octopus appetizers were delicious, as was the swordfish entree, however the Branzino that I ordered was loaded with bones. When the manager stopped by our table and asked how we were enjoying our meal, I showed him the pile of tiny bones on my plate and all he did was apologize saying that he would let the chef know, he did not make any offer to compensate or make amends. As a manager, I expected a more professional response and as a customer, I expected my fish to be prepared properly and safely. I am so sorry but Limani fell short. read more

The food was excellent. Unfortunately it was barely warm when served.The waiter was inattentive and didn't wear a mask.Very poor service.

My wife and I went back to Limani's in Commack on Thursday 6/30/2022. Sat in the bar area for appetizers and drinks. The mussels and the Saganaki, both excellent. We decided then to share a dinner, so we ordered the Fagri fish for two. When it arrived, the piece of fish was a bit small for two people, they also had 2 small pieces of cauliflower, 2 small slices of potato's and 1 small piece of broccoli, this was to be shared by 2 people. I have to say be careful on spending $76.00 on a shared menu item. It was good but not worth the value. There are better choices from the dinner menu that is a better value. They also had a DJ in the bar area, music was very loud and the DJ lights were shining in my eyes. We will go back, if we sit in the bar we will make sure there is no live music otherwise we will ask to be seated in the main dinning room. read more

overpriced. Husbands pork chops over cooked. Tuna medium rare came rare s without cheese and bacon. Octopus family style had 5 pieces. Had to order another serving. Not coming back would not recommend. sorry. read more

Great service. Delicious octopus. Very good sword fish kabobs. Enjoyed everything, except my Halibut was overcooked.
