Came here for a birthday dinner with a group of 12 women. The service was top notch and the food was delicious. I ordered the Kykeon drink .. it was sooooo good! I highly recommend if you like spicy drinks. For food we ordered spinach pie, fried calamari, octopus, crab cake, the fried eggplant and zucchini chips, lobster and filet mignon. Everything was absolutely delicious! My fav was the octopus, zucchini and eggplant chips and the spinach pie. We ended dinner with espresso martinis. I highly recommend coming here. I loved it and look forward to coming back! read more

I hosted a business dinner at Limani. There were four of us. Two of us were colleagues, and we emphasized that to avoid any confusion. Two were retirees -- one when asked what kept him busy answered that at his age it was enough to make it through the day. That couple, married, had selected the venue based on proximity to their home, it corresponding to his nation of origin (he came by ship as a student), and the quality. I am glad I deferred to their judgment. I would be glad to go again, though the truth is I am not often in the neighborhood. Our guest of honor selected several small dishes to share. The octopus was tender. That dish is not always as delectably soft. The zucchini chips were battered delicately. They were the best such item I have ever sampled. There were spreads with pita bread. My main dish was tuna with spinach. They have fresh fish laid out on ice. I love to see the sparkle of scales and the brilliance of the eyes. The preparation was by someone with a deft touch in timing the doneness and sprinkling on a modicum of sesame seeds. The side of spinach was exceptionally fresh. It was sautéed so as not to pass into limpness or to be too wet. I would register a minor disappointment. At Greek establishments, I look for retsina. Its distinctive flavor is caused by sealing amphorae with pine resin. That practice is not necessary, but it continues in order to impart the off taste. The "balsamic aroma" Is an acquired taste. I took to it without any cajoling, as an aficionado of stronger relishes. I had enough leftovers, since I was given the starters, for two meals. I don't know why some people eschew leftovers. They are a pleasure. They also are economical and environmentally beneficial. I suppose some worry about germs. I have never had an issue. The ambiance was upscale without being extravagant. The service was impeccable. It was not raucous. It was just lively enough to suit a party that was more mature. read more

Beautiful outside and inside. Food took a while to come. Everything was really fresh. The portions should be a bit larger for what your paying. Loved the fresh seafood on display when walking in. read more

I came here on the spur of the moment based on Yelp reviews. I was able to get reservations about an hour in advance which was a surprise and a plus. I will warn you that my comments are based on a comparison to Prime restaurant in Halesite which is Huntington NY maybe 15 minutes away wish I was very impressed with that I ate at about 2 weeks prior. They set the bar and was a memorable dinner. The restaurant is located on Northern Blvd so there is not much scenery. It's a large pretty space and it's set up very well for COVID-19 both inside and out. They set up wood and plexiglass dividers that look like they were part of the design of the restaurant. The entire staff had masks on inside and out and nobody cheated worth them under the nose. Kudos to management ! Everyone was well dressed in a black and white uniform. You can see the attention to detail. It was a pretty space overall. The valets were quick and even remembered the vehicle I was driving when I gave him the ticket to pick it up. The service was excellent, as good as you could expect for the restaurant. The food was very good although I would not say memorable. There was no mention of a time limit for the table which a lot of restaurants have been doing with COVID-19. Not the waiters fault my appetizer the crab cake burger literally came out 5 minutes after I ordered it. I spent a little over 2 hours there although I found I would have liked if the appetite and main did not come out so quickly. The crab cake was very good and was fresh lump crab, 6 ounces, served with beans and dip. Nice dish. The mains were Halibut which came with mixed veg and was also very good. Very fresh and cooked and presented well. The problem was the Yellowfin tuna. The dish came out looking like It was cooked properly although it was cold. The waiter apologized, took it back and the chef made an unrecoverable mistake. He tried to heat it to get the temperature up which overcooked the tuna. The waiter apologized again and said he would have the chef cook a new dish which turned out great. The problem is when you are not eating alone anyone with you feels obligated to wait and their diner will get cold. If not everyone's eating alone. When you're spending that kind of money that should never happen. Tried the chocolatina desert which was essential a warm chocolate cake with a taste of pistachio ice cream. It was very good and the Karidopita which is walnut sponge cake, homey and pistachio ice cream. My favorite of the two. The bathrooms are clean although they are not touchless at all as my experience with Prime who was touchless and had multiple bathrooms designated for one guest. They also had a person at Prime designated to sanitize the bathroom after each use. Limani had a person for the women to open the bathroom door although none for the men. Personally I would not go back based on this experience because although it was a nice experience there are so many other restaurants in the area that offer more charm, better food and even at restaurants that charge half the price I have never had a chef try to correct a mistake by reheating the food. They would do the dish over from the start. At that level of restaurant you need to be thinking ahead all the time. I would say they are worth trying, maybe it's was just an unlucky experience. read more

I had a really enjoyable lunch at Limani recently. Everything from the service to the food and the atmosphere was great. The decor was modern, light and airy, and felt very Mediterranean-like. My friend and I opted for the octopus salad to start, which may be the best one I have ever had! It was extremely flavorful and tender. For my main course I had the salmon skewer, which had generous portions of salmon along with a small salad and lemon potato fries. We decided to share dessert... OMG. The chocolatina, a warm chocolate soufflé served with fig ice cream, was out of this world. The only downside is that when you make a reservation you need to put a $25 deposit and only have 48 hours to cancel or you'll get charged $25 per person. In the current economic climate that's extremely excessive and unfair (at any time, really). Things can happen and I would think that most restaurants would be grateful to have their patrons' business given that we have the choice to dine and spend our money as we wish. read more

TLDR: Long Island location of Limani. Awesome Greek fish, meat, anything. Killer lunch prix fixe. I had eaten at the Limani in Manhattan previously and while it was good, the one things I remembered was how pricey it was. I avoided the LI Limani for that reason until I figured to give it a try. The prix fixe menu is beyond a bargain. For $30 you're getting a solid appetizer (with all good choices), a main (supplement on only the lobster pasta) and dessert. It's a lot of really great quality food. I have never left here feeling hungry still. My go to appetizer is the octopus. Charred octopus legs come pre-sliced, a bit of capers, some vinegar, lots of thinly-sliced onions, dill, olive oil. Perfection. So tender with that charred crust. The Greek dips are good but better shared with larger groups because the bread will fill you out. Tomato salad is awesome. Those tomatoes are just ridiculously juicy and bursting with flavor. For mains, I've tried almost all the options. The one I always get though is the Loup de Mer which is a kind of Mediterranean sea bass. It will come across on some menus at lavraki. So moist and flaky in every bite. The fish also comes with a side of sautéed garlic spinach which is very welcomed. Salmon and the grilled chicken were also surprisingly tasty. For dessert, it's fun to mix up the options with a group. If you were to get only one though, it should definitely be the yogurt. It's topped with thyme honey, a slightly crumble and black cherries. The perfect way to end such a great meal. I need to come back for dinner one of these nights but since we've discovered the lunch menu. We've been here many times this year. Awesome value, tremendous quality and probably healthier than a country-style brunch. Go! PS - Probably some of the most proper safety measures I've seen at any of the restaurants I've been to. Large plexiglas partitions between the tables, temperature console when you walk in. Impressive stuff. read more

We've been to Límani so many times. Food quality is excellent. Since Covid occurred they put up Temporary walls between tables and it has helped so much with the acoustics. Much improved! My dilemma with Limani is how to order. The appetizers are so great that we tend to be heavy on those orders and share...often avoiding entrees. The entrees don't come with sides so you must order sides but your guests may not like certain sides. Very complex ordering...With your family it tends to work...With friends it can get tricky. Love the octopus, saganaki, eggplant chips with yogurt, tuna, and hummus to start. Then entrees I like the lupe de mer, Greek salad (tomato/cucumber), lemon potatoes and broccoli rabe. Get the yogurt and honey for dessert!! But ask the waiters for guidance. I think it's needed. No issues with the food. It's all great. read more

We came here for lunch with our friends. The restaurant is beautiful inside and outside. I had Loup de Mer or Branzino, and Hubby had salmon. We ordered octopus and tomato salad for appetizers. Our friends had Royal dorado and crab cake. Everything was up to par, except the dorado wasn't that great. My Branzino was better than dorado. Hubby's salmon was better than my Branzino. The service could do a bit better. With a fine restaurant like this, we expect the server to be proactive. We had sponge cake at the end. That was awesome! Overall the Salmon was the best! read more

Going to Limani on Mother's Day reminded me of ALL the reasons not to eat out on Mother's Day. We did the 3 pm brunch and the whole family (8 people) was very disappointed. First off - when I booked the reservation, I was told one Mimosa, Bellini or Bloody Mary were included in the price. When we got there, we were told it no longer was being included -- should you not honor what I was told - that would be the right thing for a restaurant to do, but they just looked blindly at me, like too bad for you. Secondly, service sucked - when you are at brunch, you would expect your plates to be cleared and there was just a stack of plates building up on the table. Somehow the espresso machine didn't work anymore and the waiters just kept saying the kitchen was very busy. Not an excuse - you should be prepared. Lastly, they RAN OUT OF FOOD. You advertise a seafood bar but guess what - there was none left by the time we went up. Just ridiculous. Like I said very disappointed and never going back - HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE. The 2 managers have no purpose being in the service industry if you don't know how to manage customer expectations and were useless and should be fired. read more

Friday night dinner at Limani. The last time I came in April I got oysters and the Pea Flower Paloma. Both were so good that I got them again! For appetizers, we got oysters, crab cake, calamari, grilled octopus, and salad for the table. I got filet mignon with a side of broccoli rabe for my dinner entree. Limani is always delicious, I have been coming for many years and am looking forward to my next visit. read more

Ok ok ok so I have had dinner here many nights and it's always top notch . I went to brunch this Sunday. And what do I think? Well... they had the ordinary food choices that most brunches have with the exception of small lobster tails and shrimp. I really wasn't impressed I was underwhelmed. In my opinion it's not worth $60 I'm giving it four stars because the dinners are always awesome read more

"WE'RE NOT REQUIRED TO TELL YOU PRICES OF MENU ITEMS" Place was pretty busy for Sunday afternoon at 4pm. There were a few large parties so the place was kind of noisy and the music loud on top of it so it was hard to hear the hostess when we walked in and also the waiters on top of that. These are trying times but it almost seemed like hospitality got quarantined as the hostess seemed upset that we couldn't understand her speaking through her mask and we couldn't speak loud enough for her to hear us in return. We got sat by the bar and were just left to linger at the table for a few minutes before anyone came to greet us. No menus given, even though a couple were already sitting reading their menus. As we ate, we noticed tables around us with menus as soon as they were seated. Luckily there's a QR code on the table for a virtual menu, but no WiFi password until I went up to the host stand to ask. Even then, the hostess told me to log onto the wrong network and I was left to figure it out myself. First waiter was heading out to break so wasn't sure if he was annoyed that we sat down before the next waiter came on or he was just tired, but he didn't seem interested to take our order. 2nd waiter going forward was more attentive and checked on us a few times throughout the meal. To top it all off, when it came time for the check, I saw a higher charge than expected for the oysters we ordered. Apparently they weren't on the QR Code menu as they're a special for today, so they cost an extra $10, but we were never told. The 3rd waiter who was giving us the check asked if we looked at the menu. "We only got the QR code menu" was our answer, even though the 3 other tables around us all had laminated paper menus showing the day's specials (with prices I assume). When pressed, this 3rd waiter's answer was simply " WE'RE NOT REQUIRED TO TELL YOU PRICES OF MENU ITEMS" ... I was so surprised by that answer I didn't even know what to say for a few seconds. I know the pandemic has hurt restaurants but this is a horrible way to do business. Greek Meze is always a favorite and almost a meal by itself. The grilled Octopus had good flavor and seasoning but the meat felt either over cooked or dry. Not sure, but it was almost like it was left over from a Friday delivery and today was Sunday night...at least that's how it tasted. It was tender and juicy on my previous visits. Oysters were fresh and very large for Kumamotos so they were worth it. Taking this review all the way down to 1 star from 3 stars I had written during my meal, all due to the horrible response "WE'RE NOT REQUIRED TO TELL YOU PRICES OF MENU ITEMS" read more

We go out every week and enjoy Greek food. The food and the portions are small. The place is a showroom very ornate. Pricey for what you get. We both ordered the Sea Bass with a salad it was okay nothing to rave about. There are so many other places in Astoria, Queens to choice from. Try it twice and was not satisfied. read more

The best thing about this place is the parking attendants. They were fast and courteous. I was really looking forward to eating there. My boss said the food was great. I have to check him on that come Monday. The food wasn't good. Over cooked fish, so sad. No flavor at all. We had grilled octopus that was more like boiled octopus. The price for appetizers,dinner, dessert and drinks came out to 300.00 without the tip. That's fine. I don't mind paying for good food which this was not. This place was so bad I would never go back. Left the restaurant hungry because I couldn't eat that sh@t. Do yourself a favor and go to Astoria for a great Greek dinner at much better prices. I don't think anyone in limani was Greek. read more

Cannot say anything bad as this restaurant is always consistently amazing. We always sit at the bar with James who is so incredibly good.

Located in Roslyn, Limani is an upscale mediterranean seafood restaurant focusing on traditional greek specialties. Whether it is the premium first-pressed, cold-pressed olive oil to the world's finest fish, Limani truly lives up to the hype. The ambiance of this spot is beautiful and the service is impeccable.

Greek born lifelong New Yorker here. Let's start out by saying that the place is gorgeous. The ambiance is spectacular. The service is outstanding. When not overwhelmed, the valet parking does the best job possible. Reservations are honored immediately. So why am I giving it three stars? For the same reason that every time I go there, I find myself the only Greek in the restaurant. Greeks just don't go to this restaurant. Why? Because Greek food is a very simple food; and while all the ingredients here are fresh, the food is completely lacking in any soul; the kind that you'd find in any Greek mother's kitchen. Greeks won't eat this stuff. Sure, Greeks that do go here have a celebration or want to go out and splurge. But at the end of the day it's three times more expensive than going to Astoria, and if you don't get there early, parking is just as difficult. If you know how fresh fish is supposed to be cooked, and what it's supposed to taste like, tell the well dressed, indifferent young men who own the place and walk around making sure to be attentive to their well heeled patrons. Greeks, take note, and look at the sadness of my Greek coffee; no, I did not shake it or take a sip of it and drink the kaimaki, this is what I was served; a soulless end to our evening. read more

Food was not great , it used to be much better, spent over $700 had to pack my own to go box

I've been here four times and each one feels like a different place. During the daytime it's super chill and a great light menu for healthy eats. It was quiet and bright. Before 6:30pm you'll find the early birds and a prix fixe menú that was $39 (9/2018) and well worth it. Lots of wait staff, one chef even helped out at our table. Was smooth and courteous throughout. Around 7pm it was so packed and festive that it was hard to converse. We left and my ears were buzzing. Great place for a dinner reception as the place looks like equipped for weddings with white tul curtains and soft cream tones in a soft light. read more

Overly rated place and I wish I can give a 0 for this restaurant. I went with my husband to celebrate our 25th year wedding anniversary and the fish I ordered was NOT COOKED and it was absolutely disgusting. The waiter recommended me to get a striped bass and it was NOT cooked, then the waiter apologized and brought it out the 2nd time, No difference, it was the same. I decided to give another try for the Halibut instead, and surprisingly, it was undercooked again!!!! It was cold at the bottom.... I had to share my husband's dish and simply walked away... Thanks for ruining our anniversary dinner, LiMANI ROSLYN~ read more

My sister and I treated our parents to a special brunch. My sister had been here before and suggested it for our celebrations. We made reservations for an 11am brunch, right when they opened, and there were already people seated and eating in the restaurant when we were brought to a table. A few minutes later, the chef came around and explained how the brunch works and where to find everything. A server then came around with the complimentary drink. He didn't have the Bellini on his tray, but I requested. He must have came around when I was off getting food because a glass of champagne was placed at my seat. I drank it anyway. If looking for a bottomless brunch kind of place, move along. The restaurant is beautiful and feels spacious at first glance, but in reality, when trying to navigate through the tables, it can feel a bit labyrinthine. And as people eat more, they tend to push back a bit from the table, making it a bit harder to walk through, especially while holding the plates. In terms of brunch, they do a stellar job. I would get everything I tried again. The moussaka was great, the blonde brownie bars were spectacular, and their sushi was also surprisingly there with the best. I did enjoy a lobster, as well as a waffle, various potato, chicken and rice dishes... It truly was endless. I think I had about three plates of food. I never really understood what the fuss was about a macaron until I tried theirs (or whichever bakery they get them from). We were all full for the entire day and skipped the rest of our meals. Other than the claustrophobia, I have no complaints about Limani. The food is as good as they say. read more

Currently here , food is mediocre and service leaves alot to be desired. Had to ask 4 different people for pita bread and after waiting an hour and half my fish was a failure in presentation and taste... which for a seafood restaurant is just sad... everyone has been sitting around for 20 mins done and servers don't notice to prompt for next course more concerned with the turnover of other tables than satisfying the customer currently eating. All in all this place is all hype with pretty decor but nothing of substance to back it up and ensure repeat business. read more
