I had my birthday dinner there last night and the food and the service was AMAZING! The restaurant is small but quaint and intimate. The vibe is cozy & the service was excellent. My family and I had had the fresh bluepoint oysters as an appetizer and they were phenomenal! I had the lobster bisque soup and Greek salad to start, and pictured below are all of our various main dishes. My Chilean sea bass was good, but the chickpea/ mushroom fushion was really odd and I could've done without that part of the dish since it came with sautéed spinach and potatoes. Overall, the service was excellent and I do really recommend this restaurant if you're in Westfield NJ and looking for a great seafood spot. read more

Excellent meal at this long-time Westfield spot. It's a storefront restaurant, with a dining room to the left, and one in the rear, with the kitchen central. BYOB so don't forget to bring your favorite wine. As the name would suggest, the menu is heavy on seafood, although there are a few options for the landlubber. We had the advantage of visiting with a couple who have been coming to Limani for years and are on a first-name basis with the team. Needless to say service is impressive. Warm bread is served immediately, with olive oil for dipping. Crusty, fresh bread and nicely seasoned oil - the perfect start. I opted for one of the specials, Bronzini. I chose the de-boned version. The fish was perfect. Crisp skin on the outside, tender and juicy flesh on the inside. A wonderful medley of spices enhanced the sweet, flaky white fish. It's served with roasted potatoes cut into chunky logs and wonderfully garlicky sautéed escarole. Mash up those potatoes to soak up the white wine sauce and juices from the escarole. Yaaaas! Others ordered crab cakes. 4 large cakes to the order, adorned with scrumptious remoulade sauce, with a mound of garlic mashed potatoes, and that sautéed escarole. No filler in these crab cakes, it's all crab - encrusted and fried to a brown crispy perfection on the outside with chunks of succulent crab on the inside. To celebrate a birthday at the table, the house comped us small slices of baklava. Delicious filo layered with chopped nuts and honey. Their prep here isn't too much honey, so the result is both sweet and tart. It's a disappointment that I don't like closer to Westfield - this is the kind of place to return to again and again, to experience everything on the menu. Go! You'll LOVE it. read more

There are not many restaurants where the food is consistently excellent, but Limani is one of those places. They have an extensive and appealing menu, predominantly seafood, but offer other options, as well. The owners diligently ensure that their customers are happy. That's why so many people frequent Limani over and over. read more

None of us liked the food. England broil came out semi cold, under seasoned and just bland in taste. Clams casino was disappointing with barely had any clam taste. Crab cakes were good, however. Every dish we had was boring, cold and underwhelming. We all needed to add salt. The lemon potatoes were cold with zero lemon taste. The sautéed spinach looked like it was a day old. Super mushy, cold and discolored. Scallops were chewy. Bright side, our server was pretty awesome. Just wasn't what I expected since it's highly regarded in town. read more

Great menu. Food is just "OK". Ordered soup and it was there in a New York minute. Then entrees quickly after. I'm not in a hurry to spend a lot of money to have a quick meal. Very pricy read more

Limani is one of the hidden gems of the area. Good quality seafood and steaks. I prefer the European seafood over American fish fry places so Limani serves Greek or Mediterranean. The ambiance is good, has a bit of European styling like sitting in a cozy Greek place. The place is not too loud, you can definitely have a nice quiet evening dinner here. As for the food, good portions and they have a large variety of choices including pastas, plenty of seafood choices, and even good meats. They also have a good selection of pre-fixes for those who want it all but not pay too much for individual selections. read more

This Greek restaurant is top notch. A great byob with excellent selection of fresh seafood prepared in a variety of ways. I went with one of the specials of the night, pink snapper ( it wasn't cheap but you have to just splurge once in a while.) I had it grilled whole which was just perfect. This was exactly what I was hoping for when I ordered it. The restaurant itself is a bit noisy but I was eating during prime dinner hour on a Saturday but it was not overwhelming. My server Alex was fantastic and very personable and attentive and always made sure to check if the table needed anything. I def look forward to coming back again. read more

An amazing experience. We are in town for the first time in over 30 years. Our hotel was a block away from this restaurant. From the clam chowder to the escargot to the coconut shrimp to the whole pink snapper to the delicious sorbet were terrific. The owner took time to make us feel very special. Certainly the highlight of our trip. GO HERE! You will not be disappointed I promise. read more

We celebrated my daughter's bridal shower at the suggestion of her future mother-in-law that lives in Westfield and it was a huge success!! They gave us a perfect room for 60 people. Alex and Anna were our wonderful servers. Visella was so helpful arranging all the details. And did I mention that the menu was excellent and the food was amazing?! Well it was!! And at an unbelievable price that was so well worth it! Totally recommend Lumani for any event or just a wonderful night out!! read more

First of all, this restaurant DOES NOT have a bar. They have a wine list, but you are able to bring your own liquor (hard liquor, beer, and/or wine). My mom and I shared a bottle of sangria, AND we were able to take it to go when it wasn't finished. It came with fruit on the time and a pitcher of ice. It was BOMB.com! I started with some lobster bisque. DELICIOUS! This was so good that my mom got her some to-go. Nice pieces of lobster and the soup itself was radiant in flavor! The caesar salad was pretty good but the croutons were salty. Sans the croutons and it's everything you need it to be and it doesn't need any additional dressing to go with it. My mom also ordered the clams casino and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I ended up getting the stuffed shrimp. The shrimp was stuffed with real crab meat almost like crab cakes without filler. I am going to get this EVERY TIME I come here. The mashed potatoes tasted like they may have been instant but I would get them again or possible sub them out. I like the vegetables, also. It was something different! The restaurant looks so cute on the inside. My mom had seen it from the train and the back makes it look like a regular0degular restaurant but it's quaint and smells wonderfully when you enter the building. We were pleasantly suprised. I will be back when I'm in NJ. read more

One known problem with restaurant service is the appetizers are freshly made and really great. But the entrees are more problematical because they usually partially cooked or even reheated since to cook them from scratch would usually take too long. However this shouldn't be true for fish but it's often not prepared well. Good news here is everyone ordered fish and all the dishes were first rate. My bronzini was fresh and flavorful. The sides were unmemorable, so unmemorable I can't remember them. But that was an extraordinary filet What wasn't good? The appetizers. We had a Coconut Crusted Shrimp with apricot horseradish sauce. While the shrimp were fresh and good sized, it was cloyingly sweet. L More like an appetizer at Applebee's. The fried calamari was tasteless and sad looking while the which marinara sauce was good. Looking about the Greek appetizers looked pretty good. Perhaps you stick to the strength. The fish entrees were great and the appetizers were sad. I'd go back, just for the fish, but I would try the Greek appetizers and if I were to order other food, I'd try the Greek specialities. Service was prompt. The restaurant requires reservations especially on a Saturday night. It was crowded but not so noisy you couldn't hear your table mates talk. Prices are quite high, even post COVID. Given the cost, this wouldn't be my first choice but you can certainly have a good dinner here. read more

It's been awhile ... A few months to be exact. Our community has been doing a dinner club for about 3 years now. We were a group of 14 for our Wednesday night get together. Mid week they have a specials menu that is 3 courses. This includes appetizers, salad and your main course for $59. For our apps, she had an eggplant & hummus dip that is a little spicy. I chose the zuppa Di Mussels. Next up, we both chose that watermelon salad. Our main courses were the grilled ribeye for her cooked medium rare and I chose those warm lobster rolls. We actually split the key lime tart for our dessert ( which is extra) along with a cappuccino. In our group 10 of the 14 ordered off the specials menu. One that didn't ordered the soft shell crabs and she was very happy. Service by Alex was excellent. For parking, they have a lot right across the street that is free after 6 PM. Of some note, they are BYOB, but have a small wine fridge in the back of the restaurant. Cost per person with a tip about $80. As always... Enjoy:) USC#19 read more

Went on a Wednesday midday. The (I assume) owner, was very pleasant, gave us each a complementary flute of wine when I said I had brought my mother out for a birthday lunch. We also got a complementary cup of the lobster bisque which was delicious. We both ordered the London broil. It was quite pricey, had good flavor and good quality seafood but I expected a bit more for the price. Overall, good food and great service. Would recommend. read more

Had the shrimp cocktail ($19) for four large but dried-out cocktail shrimp. Also, crab cakes ($29) for two tiny 2" crab cakes which tasted like paste and were served lukewarm. Don't order this. Entrées were the seared scallops over sun-dried fig, marsala, and caramelized apple ($44), five nicely-cooked scallops with a tasty fruit compote. However, the sautéed garlic spinach accompaniment was slimy and drowning in oil, and the steamed carrots were cooked to death. Did not eat. Also had the grilled swordfish with chili-lime sauce ($34). The fish was good but the mashed potatoes on the side were unseasoned, desperately needing salt, and soupy, like instant mashed potatoes. Did not eat. None of the desserts are made in house. Had a slice of N.Y. cheesecake ($10) which tasted like frozen from the supermarket, and not Junior's. The decaf cappuccino was watery with little coffee flavor. Would I come back? I don't think so, this mediocre BYOB meal for two was over $150, plus tip. read more

Don't ever go here. It's overpriced and the service is abysmal. We waited over twenty minutes to be sat for our reservation made days in advance. Server allowed a child in our party to order a market price item without informing us to the sudden unexpected surge in the price. When we complained about this, the tone-deaf manager said that someone else a week before was offended when they were told the price. Cool story, bro. Not all of us are part of the 1% read more

This is our 7 place when celebrating colleagues. We ordered the tomatoes and mozzarella and calamari for apps. For dinner, I ordered the shrimp stuffed with crab, mixed vegetables, and mashed potatoes. It was very good. For dessert, I had the carrot cake. Big slice and great taste. Service was a little off. The waiter forgot to clear plates for apps before bringing out dinner. Someone at the table asked to substitute the vegetables for something else, and they didn't. He had brought out the wrong dessert for me. Everyone is entitled to an off day. It's still a great place to enjoy seafood. read more

I'm a little late in posting this review, so some of the dishes we had were seasonal specials and might not be available now (sorry). It's been a few years since I visited the Limani Seafood Grill in Westfield, and I was happy to see that the restaurant has expanded its footprint, which was originally a bit tight. Now, while not a huge space, there are more tables and there's adequate room between them. Clearly, the restaurant is still a popular draw, as every table was filled. Our group started the meal with a Classic Caesar Salad and the Grilled Oysters. The salad was perfectly serviceable, but not particularly special. The Grilled Oysters on the other hand were outstanding. They were four Long Island Blue Points, that were shucked fresh and oven grilled with basil, garlic and pecorino pesto. If you're a fan of Oysters Rockefeller, you'll love this. For mains we had the Grilled Atlantic Salmon and the Soft-Shell Crabs. The salmon was an ample portion and cooked perfectly. It came with roasted lemon potatoes and sautéed escarole. The soft-shell crabs were an absolute standout. Each order came with two jumbo Maryland crabs, roasted lemon potatoes, sautéed green beans with garlic oil, and a side of chili-lime sauce. The crabs were true jumbos and were available fried or sautéed without flour. We chose the sautéed preparation and were thrilled. The crabs tasted like they had been harvested earlier that day and were delicious. I don't know how they achieved the crisp texture without using flour, but it really allowed the flavor of the crabs to shine. The chili-lime sauce that accompanied the crabs was sweet, citrusy and unexpectedly spicy. I haven't had soft-shell crabs with a sauce like this before, but it was creative and quite good and serving it on the side was the right choice. I regret not taking a picture. For dessert we all shared something called Galaktoboureko (I had to write it down). It's a Greek semolina custard, that's baked in filo dough and covered in a light lemony syrup. It was absolutely fantastic, and I'd definitely order it again. The service throughout the evening was attentive and friendly. Our evening at Limani Seafood Grill was wonderful and we look forward to returning. read more

Decent Greek seafood restaurant. It's not up to par with the really fancy places in NYC but food was overall fresh and delicious (except for lobster which I'll explain below). Started the meal with saganaki, which came flaming, warm seafood salad, Greek salad, and oysters. The warm seafood salad was the highlight. Simply dressed with olive oil and lemon, it was fresh and delicious. Got both east coast and west coast oysters. They were serviceable but was not as plump and fresh as I've had them in other places but certainly good for NJ. For main, we got whole branzino. Again, super fresh and delicious with olive oil and lemon. Lamb chops were great as well. Main disappointment was the lobster pasta. Lobster was not fresh at all. Biggest indicator was that there was hardly any meat in the claws which told me it's been sitting in a tank for too long cannibalizing its own muscle for food. Greek desserts were excellent. Baklava and Greek custard. Overall a great experience. Service was attentive. I would recommend that you stick to traditional Greek dishes and avoid things like lobster pasta. This place is BYOB so make sure to bring your own adult beverages. read more

What has happened to Limani?? After previous good experiences, things have gone very south. Our meals arrived almost 2 hours after we were seated!!! At least one person's food was cold. Tuna and Swordfish were advertised on the menu and sounded good - but when they arrived were very plain and ordinary - no special taste - very little flavor. The portion of swordfish was undersized based on prior visits. We requested an additional bread basket - never arrived. Refilling water glasses required waiting and finding a person to refill the glasses. The noise level was very loud - our table of four was shouting to each other to be heard. Sad to see a previous good place go so far downhill. read more

We enjoyed our food, the waitress was nice and took her time to explain everything to us. I would recommend for sure.

The food and service were excellent. They have a 3 course special for $59 that we tried. The main dish alone would be $44. We shared the first 2 courses. A very good muscles in tomato sauce. Our server brought us extra bread to help finish the sauce. Our second course was the watermelon salad with feta and mint. For our main course, we both got the soft shell crab fried. The crabs were large and lightly fried. They were served with potato wedge and broccoli. Our table mates had a Greek salad to start , they also had the muscles in a white sauce and the soft shell crabs. read more

So my boyfriend and I came here for an early Valentine's Day dinner. I made reservations online. When we arrived I parked in a nearby parking lot. When we walked in we were greeted by who I believe was the manager. She was very nice and she walked us to our table. We sat close to the door in the back socially distanced from others. Our server was Kristine and she was really good and attentive. The place is byob so she popped our bottles and poured. For our entrées I got the stuffed shrimp with mashed potatoes and mixed vegetables and my boyfriend got the salmon with jasmine rice and mixed vegetables. I liked my entrée. The best part was the mashed potatoes but I wasn't too fond of the vegetables. I had to add salt and pepper. My boyfriend said his food was good. Everything was freshly made. All in all we had a good experience. read more

My family and I went here for a weekday night dinner and we had a great experience. The tables were spaced well apart, hand sanitizer on each table, and everyone was super friendly. Our waiter was great and even took a family picture of us! The food was delicious. I had the stuffed flounder which came with mashed potatoes and a vegetable medley salad. It was mouth watering GOOD and had tons of flavor. It was also a big portion (for fish). We also split some Blue Points oysters and the special watermelon feta and mint salad which were both refreshing. Definitely recommend if you are looking for some good food in an restaurant that is really adhering to COVID protocols! read more

The first time I went to Limani's the food, service and overall experience exceeded my expectations. I've been back several times since my initial visit and I genuinely love this place. The portion size is always great. Everything is fresh and well prepared. I highly recommend the Seafood Fra' Diablo; I'm a creature of havoc, I like what I like and get that every single time. I wasn't very fond of the calamari, while it was extremely fresh, it lacked the crunch and flavor that I've come accustomed to. Other than that, I wouldn't change a thing. Great menu and definitely worth the price. Ohh, "Loved the Crab Cakes too!" They are definitely on point! Can't wait to go back!!! read more
