    Cold swordfish
    Frank T.

    Summary: don't expect Roslyn in Westbury. While the menus look the same, the food, service, and management are not as good. Advice to this location: break off and be something different - maybe offer different fare altogether. I'm a happy yelper and not one to be a squeaky wheel, especially for restaurants in these challenging times. However, there were some deficiencies here that even an easy going diner can't look past. ------ We were a table of four for dinner at 7PM on September 10, 2022. Upon arriving, the parking lot looked the same, as in the "car show" typical of Long Island restaurants. There was a custom coated Aston Martin DBX right out front. There is no valet, which is fine as there is plenty of parking. I prefer self parking anyway. When you walk in, you will feel more of a tavern vibe. There is a nice bar to the left with several TVs. The ceilings are noticeably low. The rest of the dining room was nice - button tufted decor, chic chandeliers, etc. it has a different look and feel from the Limani we have grown to love in Roslyn. While the menu looks the same, that's where the similarities end. The drinks are different (I was told the red wine sangria wasn't nearly as good). The food is different - Limani chips were clumped together, detail in the halloumi was sloppy - uneven cook (charred outside, hard center), the tomato salad had mushy tomatoes and wasn't dressed well. For entrees we ordered the go-to's as there were no specials. The proteins were not very good. The piece of salmon lacked the crisp of the skin, the branzino and the swordfish came out room temperature, and the potatoes on the dishes were different temps (hot on the salmon, barely warm and dry on the others). As someone who never sends anything back, I saw a look on my friends face who insisted we should. So we did. They "fixed" the two dishes, and while what came back to the table was now warm, the swordfish pieces had more bloodline than what one might expect for this restaurant. And those pieces were undercooked - swordfish no-no. The vegetables on the branzino came out untouched - not even a little more flame to heat them. The manager was awfully kind to comp those dishes, which was not requested, but warranted. Drinks were left empty, our sparkling waters weren't refilled (and room temperature bottles left on the table, not on ice like in Roslyn). The desserts were ok, Greek yogurt was delicious. The gelatos and sorbets were a nice touch. The cheesecake could have been passed. Unfortunately the desert spoon cut my lip. The spoon was knicked somehow, it had a serration, maybe it got caught in something. I should have told the server but at this point didn't want to make anymore of a situation. They might want to check the silverware before putting it on the table. After every meal in Roslyn, we leave elated. Last night, not so much. You win some and you lose some. Maybe a bad night??? Maybe indicative of bigger challenges? Idk. Being equidistant to Westbury and Roslyn - I'll see you in Roslyn next time.

    Soooo I guess this place was formerly Oniro? All I know is that it's Limani Taverna now and it was so good ! It's right next to crest hollow.. interior decor beautiful, very attentive and professional staff, and amazing food. I have been to all of the Limani's on Long Island and this one is definitely better than the one in Commack.... (Roslyn is unmatched)...Not a bad thing, just the vibe in here was much more relaxed and chill... I personally thought the food was better. I don't recall filet mignon kebab on the Commack menu but they were delish. My gf and I opted to do price fixe; usual suspect ish. Pulpo, Greek salad, Branzino, filet kebabs, walnut? Cake, and sorbet ... $40 a clip... you cannot go wrong, it was perfect for us to split errrrythaaaaang. Great choice for splitting and def reasonable prices, in my opinion. We loved everything all the way down to their tzatziki.. so good. They have a nice little sexy bar area perfect for a rendezvous :) I'll be back.

    Limani is always a great experience, when I heard they have a location in Woodbury I had to make a trip. They have a great location with a huge parking lot. The ambiance is beautiful , really feels like you in GREECE. Food is was good , definitely recommend the Lamb Chops !! The whole experience was great , big thanks to the staff on making it a great dinner.

    If you're looking for a fancier place to dine-in amidst sheltering in place, check this place out. It wasn't crowded with only 4 tables seated in a large restaurant with a window view if you want a warmer experience. The food here was spot on for being tasty and aesthetically pleasing with the simplicity of flavor. The mussels, fried calamari, meatballs, kebabs, and lamb chops were cooked just right to be tender, juicy, and delicious. Even the Oniro drink with pomegranate juice, toasted bread with hummus, and arugula salad with figs and the dressing on the side were yummy. What impressed me was the pistachio gelato, which felt homemade and drove us nuts in a good way. The downside was the service. Although the wait staff was attentive, responsive, and efficient, I couldn't really understand them given their thick accent. They were helpful with suggestions and even addressed our concerns for a bitter drink by replacing it with something that was more like a refreshing lemonade. However, my two complaints are as follows: 1. They accidentally switched the gelato to a sorbet for strawberry ice cream even though I specifically instructed them that only the passion fruit was a sorbet. 2. There was a shard of plastic glass about the size of a fingernail in the sorbet that could've caused my parents, who are senior citizens, to choke. We didn't mention these issues because we enjoyed the rest of the meal and sympathized with their struggles to stay in business during this pandemic. However, I would encourage you to check each bite before swallowing because this could've been a serious health hazard.

    Grill octopus
    Edwin Y.

    The prefix Sunday menu really was a delight. There was a good amount of choices for the entree. Grilled octopus, branzino and Greek yogurt. Octopus was on the smaller side but had a good char to it. The branzino was the star. As long as the fish is fresh, it is hard to mess up grilled fish. The grilling adds to the delicate flavor. The Greek yogurt with fruit and honey. Wow, it was a great way to end the meal. The yogurt was thick but not sour, honey was sweet and fruit balanced it both out.

    Always a great experience here. Amazing Mediterranean food. If you want the prix fix, you have to order before a certain time depending on the day. Just be careful ordering bass because one is for 2. We got the for 2 by accident but it was so good. Had to take the rest home. Great vibe and the manager usually also stops by to check on you.

    Seafood pasta
    Robin C.

    We went here for an nice dinner on a Saturday and the place was not too crowded. It's rather large and is set up in tones of cream, blue and white giving it a very Greek sea feel. The drinks were ok, very small and expensive. The appetizers were amazing we got the mussels and feta baked in filo dough with candied cherries and honey on top. Dinner was the filet kabob and a nice seafood pasta. The dessert options were small but we did order a lovely chocolate lava style cake with vanilla gelato and it was a nice ending to dinner, very rich and tasty. It was really a filling meal and we will be back again.

    Portions are a bit smaller but overall, the food was delicious. Love the rack of lamb, calamari and their tzatziki!

    This restaurant is fantastic! Six of us came here on a Tuesday evening to celebrate a birthday. The…read morerestaurant decorations on the inside made it feel like we were transported to a greek island! The service was spectacular, both the waitress and the owner were so incredibly kind and attentive, stopping by to recommend dishes and to make sure everything was great- which it was, the food was delicious! We had the Feta saganaki to share, the spinach pies to share, then we tried the beef/lamb gyro, the chicken skewers, the moussaka, and the souvlaki. This is one of those reviews where I find myself wanting to rave about the service just as much as I want to rave about the food. Without a doubt, would recommend this place for anyone wanting a beautiful family meal for a special occasion. Will definitely be coming back!

    I ordered lunch from work for the residents on my last day of service. No one could decide what…read morethey wanted so I took one for the team and fought my baseline indecisiveness. I hadn't had mediterranean in a while and I'm not head over heels for the place near me so I wanted to try something new. This place seemed decent enough. I ordered a greek salad and hummus with pita. There were varying gyros, another greek salad with chicken, some platters including the falafel platter that GF orderd. My salad was wonderful. The ingredients were fresh and that dressing was lovely. It was a salad I actually enjoyed instead of regretting the entire time I glared at my coworkers who ordered real shit with envy. The hummus was also very creamy, authentic hummus with a slightly different taste than I am used to but head and shoulders above any store bought bullshit. Everyone else said good shit about their food. I tried one of GF's falafel from her platter and it was really good. My only complaint is for $24 or whatever it is, i would expect more than a few falafel balls and one side. Kinda a rip off. But everything tasted really, really good.
