They're very proud of their food preparation and rightfully so. The menu has all the classics with their own twists. The saganaki, which is usually made with one of a few semi-hard Greek cheeses, is made perfectly with a mozzarella cheese. Very different and delicious. The falafel was also differently shaped. The falafel was served as perfectly fried rectangles giving lots of surface space for their tahini sauce. The iskender, my personal favorite, served in a big dish with loads of doner(gyro meat) on top of the perfect proportion of yogurt and tomato sauce. The rice and green peas on the side were ok. To finish off a wonderful meal was the homemade baklava. There's not a lot of tables inside to dine and they have a large takeout menu also. A wonderful place to enjoy authentic Turkish food that's very reasonably priced making it a GREAT value for a superbly cooked meal. We will return for more!

Multiple sections of seating so you can specify if it's open. The food: portions are huge. Definitely shareable appetizers and a great variety to choose from. We wanted the taramasalata but unfortunately it was not available. So we got the grilled octopus, eggplant appetizer and the American Saganaki. The octopus was quite good and paired with a sprinkling of cut cucumbers and tomatoes. A favorite was the lentil soup. That bowl was quite large and it was very good. Even my picky one asked for some. Dinner entrees were more impressive in size. I ordered the fork tender lamb shank. Well seasoned and not gamey. Sauce was on point, definitely a bit heavy for a summer night dinner but I didn't mind. We opted for the Bulger wheat instead of rice. Great choice as it added another level of flavor to my stew-like sauce. Very enjoyable. My friend ordered the grilled Pompano, white flesh but lots more bones than the branzino. So if you want less work, get the other. But still a very meaty fish for one. Served also with Bulger wheat and vegetables. Skipped on dessert as we were craving something elsewhere.

The food was good, vibe was nice. Insensitive rude waiter. My friends and I came here for weekend lunch. We got the octopus, mussels, salad, lobster pasta, lamb chops, chicken panini, lava chocolate and Baklava. Everything was great except the sad looking chicken panini. We had two waiters that were serving our table. The waiter that was serving our table most of the time was crossing somewhere where it sounded like humor but rude maybe it was tone of his voice. That, we didn't care for, the check came out with 18percent surcharge, although we were not told in the beginning about it and it wasn't written anywhere we were fine with that too. it was at the end where the main waiter made a mistake. First, the waiter asked us 'no shots?' After our dessert, we thought he was trying to make some sort of joke, but he walked away saying 'ok no sake shots'.... Really??? At first we were all dumb found and was annoyed by his comment. Maybe he thought it was funny but no that was not funny at all. We find that behavior very rude and RACIST. Secondly, My friends and I were speaking in Korean and to many that are unfamiliar with the language can't guess what we are speaking. So, You can ASSUME we are Chinese, Korean or Japanese I don't care what you think, but if you are not sure and want to know it's best to ask. So when he was picking up the check, the waiter said Arigato, which is Japanese and we are not. Maybe he thought it was a friendly gesture, but it was more offensive to us. I was born and raised in the states and went through lot of racism due to living in parts where there were very few Asians. And when people make comments like that it never was friendly gesture but more of mocking the Asian person. I find his behavior racist and disrespectful. I told him we're not Japanese and that's rude and he said well I'm trying to learn. You can't assume customers ethnicity because they were speaking Asians language you don't understand. Throwing thank you in random Asian language you are unfamiliar with is not learning. Clearly he thought we were some Asian girls that weren't going to point out his disrespectful behavior and pass it as some sort of joke. He can try to justify saying whatever he wants but that was very inappropriate and unacceptable. So no you were not trying to learn, that was very insensitive, ignorant and rude. Saying 'I'm trying to learn' and playing dumb doesn't justify your behavior. If you would have asked us how to say thank you in our language we would have been more then happy to teach you and that's learning and being respectful. read more

So I went for dinner with my few friends for valentines dinner and my bill was $900 plus the mandatory service charge which was to ne added at 20% but instead, I saw $405 tip so I asked the waiter to call his manager, some greek guy with the attitude walks up and he says it is 20% service charge but I pointed out how come it was $405 it does not add up so he says it is what it is and pay the bill I got really upset and told him to calculate and tell me at what percentage is $405 he instead of fixing the bill to correct 20% service charge he started arguing with me and talking down at me in a consending way then I lost my patience and I started raising my voice infont of all the customers so he says I won't be allowed in the restaurant again if I raised my voice so now i lost it and got more upset then his entire restaurant staff came out and they said they will correct the bill to 20% service charge and they readjusted the bill to $180 tip without any apologies, I will never go this shady restaurant ever again for there behavior, All my friends are very upset with https://www.limani.com/li/ for ripping us off. What a sad scam, Renu Christou should be ashamed of himself. Reno Christou you should stop ripping off people, Renu if you are so hard on for money go and scam people in other industry not in customer-oriented restaurants business, I cannot wait to see you shut down the Roslyn location, We cannot have such a ripoff unscrupulous restaurant operators in our neighborhood. read more

Limani is a delightful seafood restaurant that promises and delivers an exceptional dining experience. Every visit here confirms why it's a local favorite. The lobster pasta lunch special is nothing short of spectacular--a must-try for both seafood lovers and pasta enthusiasts. The dish is expertly prepared, showcasing the chef's ability to blend flavors and textures that please the palate. The overall quality of the food is top-notch, with fish so fresh it tastes as though it has gone straight from the ocean to your dinner table. This freshness, combined with skillful seasoning and cooking, makes each meal a memorable event. The service at Limani is excellent, with attentive and knowledgeable staff who ensure your dining experience is pleasant from start to finish. Additionally, the convenience of valet parking adds to the seamless experience, making it easy to access this culinary haven. One suggestion for improvement would be the incorporation of some acoustical dampeners within the dining area. The vibrant atmosphere is enjoyable, but a bit of sound control could enhance the ambience, making it easier for diners to enjoy conversations at their tables. Overall, Limani offers a wonderful escape for a seafood feast accompanied by diligent service and a welcoming environment. It's definitely a place to return to time and again! read more

Limani is like a great NYC restaurant in long island. The parking is easy with valet service and its a short walk into the restaurant. The facility itself is really beautiful and grand. The ceilings are very high and the floor has great mosaic patterns in it. The bar area is pretty good sized if you have to wait and they really should have more bartenders-at least on saturday nights. The crowd is mostly upscale in appearance and a sign of its being 'really greek' is that there are often many greek patrons. The menu is classic Greek mediteranian seafood. The portions are all good sized and nicely presented. All the classic greek dishes like the salads and hummus are very good. I always have a whole fish for two and its served without bones and filleted. The desserts are mostly Greek selections so they may not have such appeal. The staff is very attentive and helpful and the restaurant is very clean looking. Its not bad for kids but its not really a kid type place. WARNING- it used to be more expensive but its still on the pricey side, but well worth it. read more

4 stars would not do justice to this restaurant, so I gave them stars. LImani has raised the bar for seafood restaurants on Long Island, and immediately hurdled over that bar. The food, the decor, and the service are all beyond compare. Yes, it's expensive, but it's well worth it. If you compare this to any restaurant with a price tag that is one third of Limani's, you will certainly only eating here one more than eating at the other one three times. You will see a Beautiful display of sea food, fish well marinated , and cooked. And you will experience excellent service. It's well worth the trip. And don't forget to order the wonderful Greek wine. Don't miss it. read more

During this time, we asked for extra bread and clarification, but the servers seemed unsure and kept pointing at each other, which was frustrating. Later, a manager explained that the delay was due to our ordering moussaka, but if the kitchen was overwhelmed, they could have let us know. We're reasonable guests, but their explanations felt lacking. Overall, the service was quite poor. To make matters worse, they added a 20% gratuity charge--something we usually tip pretty well even though service is too bad to tip. But I don't expect to tip 20％ to this horrible service. We really enjoy the food here, but unfortunately, due to the experience, we don't think we'll be returning.

No problem I used a little of the stale bread and it was delicious. Now the bad part. Our waiter was probably the worst server any of us have had in many years. This guy wanted to be anywhere else but at our table. We did eat the first bread basket and had to ask him four times for a second basket, which came out so late that it was a waste. Regarding that second bread basket, everything in it was fresh. There was one guy walking around who looked like a manager and looked like he just finished a round at Cherry Valley. Maybe he was a manager, but he never came over to our table either because had he I would have informed him. He just walked into the dining room every 16 minutes to give the managerial look and go back to doing Lord knows what. Anyway, another good restaurant where the back of the house is outstanding and the front of the house needs to get their act together.

The special pistachio crusted bass was good though the sauce could do with more of a kick, but was still very good and enjoyable dish - the sauce is just more of a good blander dill sauce. The filet mignon with cognac and mushroom sauce was good and enjoyable but didn't have a kick. Still wonderful quality though and I like how it's one of those restaurants that still give you a veg and potato with the entree. We tried the mixed veg and mashed potato which were great especially to enjoy the sauces. I believe I had the regular filet mignon last time I was there and liked it slightly more. The quality of the food and selection is great. I think they could be amazing if they had a few sauces or options that kicked it up a notch, but it is very good as it is. Would definitely go back!

Still one of the best. One of our go-to places for dinner. Come, eat, relax, like family.read more

This is because the food was overpriced for the quality of dishes served. The bread was room temperature and was obviously purchased from a bakery. I was expecting warm bread, recently baked in an oven--the kind that would instantaneously melt butter smeared with a knife. I had the fried calamari appetizer. The calamari was somewhat rubbery, and it was coated in a tad too much flour. I prefer mine flash fried in a dusting of flour. The calamari did not taste fresh caught, either, and It was served with a side of garlic aioli. My preference is for a side of marinara sauce, which pairs perfectly with calamari. I had the Lobster Il Toscano, which cost $85. It was lobster meat from two, one pound lobsters sautéed out of their shells. The lobster was between firm and mushy. It did not taste fresh caught, like what I get in the summertime for a similar price while dining in any of the seaside restaurants in the Hamptons or Montauk. I also ordered the New Old Fashioned, whose main ingredients are Maker's Mark and Vermouth. I did not like it because I do not like Vermouth. I overlooked that it had Vermouth in it when I was looking at the cocktail menu. My dinner cost me $132 because they put a mandatory $20 mandatory tip on the check. The bill was originally $112. CAVEAT EMPTOR: There is a sign saying that they want CASH TIPS! There is free parking in the lot across the street once the ticket is validated in the restaurant. The restaurant is in a Tudor-style dwelling, and it is big enough for celebrations and events.

We've now been to Uncle Bacala's twice, and both times were fantastic. The first visit was dinner…read morewith my husband--the service was great, the food was even better, and the drinks were perfection. Our server, who told us it was the first time he'd waited on us, went over the top to make us feel special. More recently we attended a party there for our niece and were blown away by the variety of food and menu options. The desserts were excellent, and we tried dishes we normally wouldn't have ordered--they were the bomb. Service was on point again, the food was tasty, and we left absolutely stuffed. The garlic bread was delicious, and I highly recommend the penne alla vodka. I'm very picky, but I got the skirt steak and it was so good. We can't wait to come back!

The food was good. I really like the potato croquettes. The pizza was okay. Not something id…read morenecessarily go back for though. I had the drunken chicken parm. The sauce was great. The dish was kind of room temp though. I wish was hotter. Service was great tho. Someone was always attending to us. It's a cute little establishment. There's seating downstairs, a private party room, and even outdoor seating.
