Horribly overpriced and just so-so tasting. Eg. $65 for lobster with pasta which was a giant plate of spaghetti with just a few tiny pieces of lobster you could barely find. An order of sea bass for $95 that was very ordinary. A seafood salad with exactly one shrimp and one scallop and the rest was vegetables. A chocolate souffle that was not a souffle at all, but one of those pre frozen lava cakes that all the cheapest restaurants offer....$16. We expected fine dining but all we got was ripped off for a few hundred dollars. My family will never go back. read more

This was our first time here and we decided to come to celebrate Greek Easter. We were a party of five and we made reservations ahead of time for a Sunday afternoon seating. We violate our car without weights upon arrival and were seated immediately. I like the fact that they still have the dividers up for Covid which makes your space seem a little more cozy. Absolutely beautiful interior and the ambience was fantastic the music was not too loud and they had a special Easter menu which a few in our party decided to get. We had ordered spanakopita, the special Easter soup, grilled octopus, lamb, fish, sides of potatoes & vegetables and Various desserts. The food was absolutely fantastic, I just feel that they were a understaffed because it took quite a while for refills on the table Service. Sorry I didn't take pictures, we were absolutely starving and couldn't wait to eat! read more

I have been to Limani several times, and it never disappoints. Food is always fresh and delicious. Probably one of the best tomato and feta salads I have ever had. Tomato's are always juicy and deep color red, amazing! Last night I ordered grilled shrimp and we ordered a bunch of apps. I HIGHLY recommend the fried cheese, fried zucchini/eggplant, and the spinach pies- WOW! Will definitely be back soon! read more

Went to limani for a special dinner with my boyfriend. I picked it out because I love Greek food so much, and the reviews and food looked great. First thing is vallet parking only, expected that. Hostess who greeted us was not pleasant. Didn't smile once, and made us seem unwelcomed, maybe because we were young and didn't fit in with the rest of the crowd? She asked if we had a reservation, which we did. Seated right away. The early dinner prefix menu was the reason I picked this place. 4 courses for $40 you can't beat that. Started with the traditional Greek salad, no lettuce just veggies and feta. Fresh and delicious, perfect portion. Next I had the octopus which was 3$ extra. SO WORTH IT!! I'm a huge octopus lover and this was so delicious. My entree was the dorado fish! OUTSTANDING! I was going to get the branzino but my waiter recommended this, more flavorful and meaty. He was so right. It was absolutely amazing. They gave me Horta on the side but I couldn't eat it. I love veggies more then anyone but this was inedible. I asked for spinach instead and they switched it no problem. Spinach and garlic tasted amazing with the fish! My boyfriend had the cowboy ribeye. He said it was okay, typical steak. He wished it was marinated. He also did not enjoy the French fries, they had no flavor. He wasn't overly impressed. I think this place is more for Greek and seafood lovers like myself. I really enjoyed the food. He did have my dessert which was the raspberry sorbet and he LOVED it! We had about 3 servers waiting on us, I was not sure who our actual waiter was. The vibes are very high class, and fancy. I recommend for special occasions or just a night out. Amazing Greek food. But please, tell the hostess to lighten up. read more

I went here for dinner on Jan 4th, it was a large group about 60 people. I Subsequently got very very sick. Not sure if it was the food or the waitstaff, however have now found out that about 30+ people that were at the party also got very sick. Maybe it was shared starters. Either way, it was too bad because it's a nice place, with good food, but horrible aftermath. Owner should really evaluate the conditions of that day. read more

Service is excellent. Crab Cakes outstanding. Sword Fish was great. Lamb chops cooked perfectly but lacked flavor. Two tops are tight.

Oh so pretentious yet overly bright. Waitstaff was tolerable but moved too fast to get their attention when they weren't intending to stop by - which was less than I'd have wished [and I don't like intrusive service]. Food was good but not great - prices were higher than warranted. Not worth returning to for me read more

I usually don't give three star reviews. I'll start with the positives first. The service was attentive and friendly. The transparent partitions between the tables made our experience feel more intimate and comfortable. The restaurant is very clean. My family got Bronzino, scallops, and octopus salad. They really enjoyed those meals. Okay, now for the areas that could improve. We arrived first thing in the morning on a Sunday. Rather than immediately giving us a brunch menu, we had to ask for one. It was very limited and the choices were very basic. I got an omelette, which you can see in my picture. It was not very impressive for such a fancy restaurant. It came with larger french fries that were not very appetizing. They were kind of oily too, but, in all fairness, what else would you expect with french fries? The little biscuit that came with the meal was kind of disappointing. I was expecting a bigger one. It's a shame that the buffet is still not open. I remember it being very good. At the end of our meal, we noticed that we were charged $18 for two bottles of flat water. Our mistake that we didn't ask for tap. I don't think we took the hint when they left the branded bottles on the table. Still though, the four of us were surprised that there was a charge for water and it wasn't obvious to any of us that we were going to be charged for it because we didn't know to ask for tap. I also thought that my meal in particular was overpriced and not worth it. You might be wondering why I didn't order something fancier at a fancy restaurant. I admit that this is probably a situation where I didn't order the best choices on the menu, but I was expecting a good brunch. I didn't really get it. Next time I'll order something else and I'll ask for tap. read more

Wish I could give this place zero stars. Came here for lunch today. What a disappointment. Service is horrible, waiter only came when he knew it was time tor the check. Food is extremely expensive and does not match what you pay for. $26 for a shrimp appetizer which only had 4 shrimp. Complete rip off, $51 for 4 tiny Lamb Chops?? There were fruit flies floating all over our meal and the table next to us. We spent the whole meal shooing them away. Save yourself and go somewhere more appetizing.

Food poisoning - Nassau county health 516-227-9717. Came in on Saturday January 4th for a party. Food was good, ambiance was good, waiters were nice. Unfortunately, I got food poisoning from whatever seafood was served in the table. Since it was a larger pArty than usual, we had dishes to share. Found out other people got food poisoning as I did, and made my experience terrible. I am putting the dates so others can relate and see if it's a sanitation issue from the chef / waiter / quality of foods were damaged? Nevertheless, with a popular rating, high quality food advertised, this should never happen in such an affluent fine dining restaurant. read more

Awful. Tiny salad served for brunch. Incredible slow pretentious service. Awful overall experience. What a complete waste of a meal. 23 bucks for a Greek salad with chicken that was like a small side salad. You should be embarrassed read more

Our family had dinner here for my mom's 70th birthday. The early pre-fixe dinner is a great value and the food was very good. Everything we had was delicious. Loved the octopus starter. The meat was flavorful and really tender. My husband said the lamb chops were the best he's ever had. My one complaint would be the ridiculous charge for a small bowl of buttered pasta for my kid. It wasn't even a full dinner portion. The waiter told us it was $12 but the charge on the bill ended up being $16! I would love to try the Sunday brunch but for $60/pp, it is definitely for a special occasion and I'm leaving the kids home for that one. The clientele here is pretty chi-chi, valet parking only. Ferrari's and Maserati's out front. There's even an attendant in the restroom. I felt like the bartender and hostess gave us a little bit of a up and down look when we walked in but the service was otherwise fine. read more

Food: 5/5 Atmosphere: 3/5 Service: 2/5 Went to Limani last night with a group and I have to admit the food was absolutely delicious. Everything was very fresh and top quality ingredients in every food. The tomato salad was tasty and the fillet mignon was probably the tastiest I've had while eating out. A+ on the food. The atmosphere was a bit tiring. Very loud inside and you couldn't hear the person next to you speak. Many tables put next to each other and it was very loud and unpleasant for a group trying to talk. The service and presentation are probably what will make me not go back here again. Waiters were very inattentive and very slow. We asked for a basket of bread it took over 10 minutes. First sat down and no one approached us for a while. I wanted a glass of water and no one even stopped by for me to ask. For a place that charges so much for everything, food quality can't be the only thing they offer. The presentation was a bit disappointing as well. They served the fillet mignon on a big white plate with nothing else in it. Could use a little more creativity in that. Overall it's a decent place. Maybe other nights are more quiet so it can be more enjoyable going there. But otherwise it's a loud place with poor service and delicious food. read more

Limani - Greek Near Me - Roslyn, New York

Limani is one of the best restaurants in Long Island. Mediterranean food is never the most exciting but I've always said simple food well done is the best thing. The service was amazing, the room was great too. We were a large group so they gave us the private dining room. We had a lot of food but here are the standouts. - Kolokithi. Fried Zucchini and eggplant chips. Not greasy, perfectly crunchy. - beets. Simply amazing. - Saganaki fried cheese. aMazing! - we had a Dover Sole for 4. It was giant and so tasty. Can't wait to go back. read more

Was having a prix fixes dinner with our family last night , it came with 1 course 2 course main course and desert, the environment was perfect and good which is a nice and quiet place to enjoy a good meal with your love one . 1 and 2 course was all good but the main course is so disappointed I had the lamb chop , taste was alright but the presentation shock me as a so called fancy restaurant just placed 3 pieces of chop on a plate without any vegetables and decorations at all , I mean come on at least they can spread some kind of sauce to decorate the plate instead of just put the meat on a plate like that , at the end the desert was overly sweet . read more

First time for dinner after having lunch here recently. A perfect spot to celebrate our anniversary. Service is as good as the cuisine. Loved my veal chop and my hubby his lobster pasta fish. Crab cakes with fava beans and radicchio yummy too. Never felt rushed to order or to have plates cleared. We actually had to find our server to request our check. Next time a weeknight outdoors rather than a Saturday night. read more

I'm willing to support restaurants during this Covid crisis. Limani was a new experience for me. I had a hankering for fresh grilled white fish and saw they had a $30 prix fixe menu with Loup de mer. We found out later it was Branzino. It was grilled perfectly and I enjoyed it. It was served with spinach that I enjoyed as well. We sat outside under the tents where there wasn't much of a breeze so we asked to switch tables to the front patio and they said some of the tables were reserved so we went back to our original table. By the end of our meal those tables were still empty. I recommend the octopus which was enjoyable. The walnut sponge cake was delicious but the fresh fruit wasn't ripe enough. The service was good. All in all in comparison to other Greek high end restaurants in the area, they are a little behind. read more

Wonderful seafood - all prepared fresh. This place is no-doubt on the expensive side, but I feel its justified based on what comes out of the kitchen. Oysters- Fagri - Sea Bass and oh that octopus appetizer (best on Long Island, at least). Service is excellent. I have tried their weekend brunch and found it to be very good, likely #2 on LI - plenty of offerings. Be prepared to splurge when going here -- but if you love seafood, definitely will enjoy. Stay away from non-seafood main items tho. One in my party decided to order the prime sirloin and I had a chance to taste - bland and frankly not worth its price. Defin read more

I came in during lunch hours and I asked the hostess around how long it would take if I were to order lunch, as I was in a bind for time (which I also explained to her). She let me know it would take around 15 minutes. I sat at the bar and it literally took them between 15-20 minutes before any one helped me or took my order. I must add that I was dressed appropriately for this sort of place, I was not under-dressed, so there could not have been an element of not wanting to serve me based on my appearance. My order was finally taken and the food came out about 25-30 minutes later (way over what the hostess told me). Honestly, the food was good. I got the Prix fixe lunch special. It came with a chicken barley soup that was extraordinarily underwhelming; the chicken was more like chicken flavored gum. It lacked depth of flavor, which is unacceptable for this caliber establishment. The salmon and broccoli rabe were fantastic-no complaints there. The fruit was...$1.50 worth of fruit arranged in a nice way. In the defense of Limani...there is no defense for this. There was plenty of staff that witnessed me sitting there unattended to for long stretches of time and could have easily taken my order or come to see how I was doing after I waited an hour for something that should have taken 20 minutes at the very most. The best part was the hostess had a perfect view of what was going on and did not bother to remind any of the staff to help me out. Lovely. There are so many other places with amazing food and amazing service. Who cares about the ambiance of an aesthetically pleasing place with expensive fixtures if the staff treat you like garbage? High end establishments typically provide excellent service, hence them being high end. In that regard, I had more of a high end experience at 7-11 or McDonald's. Avoid the snooty crowd and even snootier staff. Spend your hard earned money at places like Peter Lugers, where even if the service happens to not be great (which is really rare) you're inevitably having some of the best food in the world. Limani barely has the best food and service within a 400 foot radius, and I'm not even talking about Bryant and Cooper. Joanne's Gourmet Pizza BLOWS this place out of the water in terms of food and service! What a joke of a place. read more

Impeccable service from start to finish. From the valet who wisked away the car to the friendly, knowledgeable waitstaff to the airy modern vibe, and of course the food! We started with the octopus (the most tender we've ever had!) and the fried zucchini and eggplant with Taziki sauce (thin and crispy but not greasy, melt in your mouth!). I had the Loup de Mer (Branzino). He had veal chop, so tender, it must be a gift from God! read more

Limani - From bottom up: Loup de Mer (Branzino), grilled vegetables, veal chop. - Greek Near Me - Roslyn, New York

Some of the best seafood on Long Island. The seafood is prepared with very little added which is how seafood should be when it is fresh and allows the freshness of the fish to shine on it's own. We started with the zucchini & eggplant chips which are outstanding. I don't know how they're sliced so thin and fried, but not greasy. Then, I had the prixe fixed lunch and started with the octopus. Excellent with thinly sliced onion and some herbs. For the entree I had Loup de Mer, which is branzino . The freshest fish possible. The only two things I can complain about is the service is a little rude and dismissive. Also, there were an abundance of fruit flies. I understand one or two and I know they can be difficult to control because I have a vegetable garden in the summer. But, this is a high end restaurant, with the prices to match. They need to get rid of the fruit flies! read more

Short and Sweet - Came for the Sunday brunch buffet - Great food - I came mainly for the lobster at the seafood bar but they had a lot of delicious dishes - Desserts were surprisingly good too The Long Story - Came here with the girlfriend because we were both craving lobster and one of our favorite lobster buffet in Jersey had closed down so we gave this a whirl. It was really good. We came for the lobster but ended up trying everything and for a buffet, the food was really good. I typically think buffet food is just okay and it's more like eat as much as you can, but the food here was pretty legit. The Tiramisu and macarons were really delicious. I'd definitely come back again! read more

Worst meals and worst service I've experienced in a really long time. Do not waste your time, nor money in this restaurant. Went for a birthday celebration and nothing was even remotely good.

$60 pp Brunch review. Knew this was going to be a mixed bag after we ordered our drinks. Rather than go to the bar for our beverages, the waiter goes to an area by the bathroom and gets drinks that were pre-made. The Bloody Mary's were so watery as all the ice had melted from sitting out. Remember the specific gravity lessons from school? the drinks looked two tone with the water sitting on top of the bloody Mary mix. The mimosas and bellinis were warm, too, from sitting out. Bloody Mary's were replaced by ones from the tray again. When we called out the waiter he denied it and said they were freshly made. The fantastic: lamb carving. The excellent: Lobster, eggs Benedict, Greek yogurt with honey, berries, moussaka, turkey, paella The so-so: two chicken dishes, both cooked and smoked salmon, Lemon potatoes, spanakopita, Charcuterie, coffee, The bad: some of the cold shrimp was mushy and past their prime, tiramisu cake was frozen not fresh, wait for chafing dishes to be refilled. The really bad: dirty bathrooms. Obviously not cleaned as often as they should when so many people are dining. Better selection of breads needed. Service, except for the drinks issues, was excellent as our table was cleared quickly and waters constantly filled. read more

Went to Limani for to celebrate an anniversary. It is a beautiful restaurant. The hostess suggested we sit in the lounge because it was more comfortable and romantic seating. I did enjoy sitting there. We had the trio dip with pita. All of the dips were delicious. I especially liked the spicy feta. We also had the traditional Greek salad. I could eat that every day of my life. Every single piece of feta, tomato and cucumber was perfectly ripe and seasoned. It was exactly what i wanted. I got a fish dish which was under seasoned. My husband got the langoustines which he really enjoyed. The wait staff was attentive. Expect high prices. read more

While food service was friendly and good - a few issues. Hostess was rather officious - said she couldn't find our reservation in their system - restaurant wasn't even quarter full -- and when I complained, they responded likely a problem with Open Table end. Also weren't offered a table - but only at the bar - when we mentioned we were having cocktails. Ruel of thumb is you have to order an appetizer to sit at a table. Again, usually when one has drinks, one orders food of some kind. Remember, restaurant wasn't even a quarter full occupancy. We said we would order food and were led to a table. After ordering 9 appetizers plus desserts and cocktails I don' think the restaurant could complain. And when we left the restaurant was not full at all. What we did complain about was the name of one of the teas - CHARLIE CHAN CHA --which is offensive to an Asian. The restaurant merely sent us to the website where they receive their teas from which names the teas. Obviously don't want to take any responsibility their end. Overall, won't be back - there are so many other better restaurants in the area which welcome one - and especially during Covid times restaurants should be offering better service. read more

This is a review based on the Sunday brunch. Every Sunday, Limani has a luxurious buffet spread at a premium price of about $55 bucks per adult and $30 for kids. IT IS WORTH EVERY PENNY. The restaurant is beautiful, brightly lit and incredibly well staffed. The front of the house seamlessly seats guests while the waiters and busboys expertly coordinate to attend to your every need. No plate was left on our table for more than a minute without someone coming in take it away or at least asking about whether or not someone was done. But people come here for the food so lets get to that. The spread here is eclectic and luxurious. If you can't find something you like to eat, you're having a bad day. The biggest draw here is the seafood bar which includes a never ending mountain of lobsters that are split and cracked expertly along with an avalanche of shrimp cocktail. I ate my entry fee at this place alone. The carving station featured prime rib, leg of lamb and turkey breast. The breakfast food area had waffles, pancakes, french toast, omelettes to order and eggs benedict to order. Sushi bar. Dessert bar. Chaffing dishes filled with bacon, sausage, lemon potatoes, orzo, fried rice, moussaka, spanakopita, salmon, chicken. The list is seemingly endless. The first drink is on the house (soda, bellini, bloody mary etc.). Coffee is complementary. Everything here tasted great. All the food was fresh and flavorful. Service was top notch. You get what you pay for here. 2 big thumbs up. read more

Giant doors greeted me after a valet attendant took my car. As I opened them, a huge hall with mosaic tile floors and a festive ambience surprised me. We chose an indoor seating and each table has a plexiglass partition for safety purposes. The bar is open with customers having fun drinking their cocktails. I approached the reception desk and mentioned the reservation and gladly seated right away even before my two other friends come in. I ordered a lager (non-alcoholic) and was served with an appetizer, flat bread pieces and a dip. Ambience: classy, elegant and clean. Noise level: HIGH. Be ready for that. We ordered fried eggplant (kolokithi) and grilled octopus for appetizers. I had a filet mignon, medium rare. The outside is a bit charred and dry but I would prefer them to butterfly cut it to avoid that problem. The lamb chops which my friend ordered is perfectly cooked and seasoned. And lo! The cowboy is the star of the night! A 26 oz. bone-in rib eye, dry aged 30 days is superb tasting and the meat is just ethereal to my palate. How did I know? We're friends, so we shared a bit of this and that. Ha! The staff are courteous and attentive. The bathroom is clean, that's all I need to see. The foods are reasonably priced. read more

This is some of the best seafood that I have ever eaten... time and time again they never disappoint . Tonight we had just drinks and appetizers because of a work emergency . But in any event started off with a glass of oban on the rocks and a glass of a new jack Daniels rye whiskey on the rocks . Ordered the grilled octopus appetizer and a half dozen of west coast oysters. I order oysters whenever I eat out and these at Limani are consistently the best every time. The bartender is amazing at all aspects of service . From making you feel at home , to the perfect amount of conversation , to his attention to your food... he is great ! I recommend this place whenever you are in the area! Enjoy read more

**3 stars for the venue, 4 stars for not getting killed** Beforewarned, this place is on a ritzy strip of Northern Boulevard, literally right across from Americana. For those of you not familiar with Long Island, Americana is where rich people go to get their fill on Gucci, Prada, Tiffany and everything else that falls under the category of "excessive materialism." Clearly, I did not belong at this venue, however, work gave me a rare opportunity to be a fish out of water. Please bring a few Benjamins (or 500 Euro notes)*, because this place is going to set you back for awhile. I pull into the parking lot and valet parking is the only option. I begrudgingly get out of my car and walk into the restaurant. Immediately to the the left is a spectacular bar, with mirrors rising almost to the ceiling, with liquor lined all the way to the top. Very handsome. Very sleek and chic. Our party was seated in the reserved room to the right. The only thing separating us from the main dining room was a sound-proof glass door. Our meal was mostly pre-selected. We were served appetizers which included a Greek spread (Tzatziki, Tarama, Ktipiti and Skordalia). All tasty and excellent with the fresh accompanying pita. We were also served grilled octopus, which was the most tender octopus I have tasted. For me, clearly the best. The Kolokithi (paper thin fried zucchini and eggplant) did nothing for me except leave an oily sheen on my lips. For the main course, I had the Arctic Char. Cooked to perfection and bold in taste. Not a bite was wasted. None of the main entrees have sides. That must be ordered separately. Desserts were a sampler including baklava, walnut sponge cake, Greek yogurt. All decent, but nothing to rave about. I don't buy into superstition or anything of the paranormal, but there was definitely a strange bizzare "feeling" in the room. When the main course was being cleared away, the waiter for some reason dropped all his plates when he got near me. Some of the leftovers ended up on my friend's shirt. While barely finished with dabbing at my friend's shirt, another incident occurs. As the waiter was putting down a clean plate for me, it cracked in 2! Now the whole party is staring at us, and clearly they all have it in their heads that we have bad "karma." Luckily, the rest of the evening was peaceful. But as the saying goes, " All things come in 3." When will my ghost visit me next? * After listening to the BBC this morning, I learnt that approximately 90% of the world's 500 Euro notes are in the hands of organized crime members. Crime pays ;-) http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/8678886.stm read more

Once upon a time, a man asked Conan the Barbarian this simple question - "What's Best in Life?" No the answer isn't "to crush your enemies, see them driven before you and hear the lamentation of their women". It is "go check out the great Sunday brunch at Limani." Every time I come here for the brunch, it's always packed. This place is a popular spot for special events and parties on Sundays and it shows. The standout of the brunch has to be the unlimited AYCE lobster. The spread is actually very impressive and a real sight to behold. Add some lemon, cocktail sauce and drawn butter to the mix and you have one hell of a great brunch. But let's not forget the endless amounts of shrimp cocktail, hot entrees (from typical breakfast favorites to Greek dishes like moussaka) and a big carving station that will surely fill you up (though the meat there was quite dry). Add to that a sushi bar, an amazing spread of waffles, pancakes and french toast with fresh fruit and a big dessert section and you have the recipe for Sunday brunch heaven. The cost isn't cheap but you get what you pay for here, along with excellent service and one happy belly. read more
