    Just had an incredible meal at Limani and I'm still thinking about it. The food was absolutely delicious. Every dish was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. You can really tell they care about quality and presentation. The atmosphere was elegant but still comfortable, and the service was excellent from start to finish. Everything we ordered was outstanding, especially the seafood. It felt like a true dining experience, not just a meal. If you're looking for amazing food and a great night out, Limani is a must. I'll definitely be coming back!

    Sunday brunch in the Washington DC, Harbor for brunch. We decided on Limani because of the bottomless brunch and let me tell you, fantastic. There is no way you can eat to the bottom, although I tried. The menu choices were outstanding with enough to satisfy any dietary needs/requirements. The ambieance was European and the view of the river really set it off. The service was 5+ stars with the waitress continually checking on us and topping off drinks without a need to call for service. Parking garages are available, however we took Uber to elimate the need for parking...which made for a relaxing journey.

    Wow is all I can say about this brunch experience. My group had a private room and it was a good view and great service. Our server was very attentive and made sure everyone was taken care of. We weren't celebrating anything, but she even gave us some special treats during our time there. Now on to the food. It's rate to go to a DC restaurant and love everything, but Limani made sure their brunch was delicious no matter what item you decided on. I couldn't even grab pictures of everything because I was too busy enjoying each item. The seafood was the emphasis here and it did not disappoint. The lobster tail was meaty, the oysters were fresh and delicious, even the seafood basmati rice was amazing. The short rib was tender and great. Surprisingly, the collard greens were really good. The French toast was fluffy and sweet. The shrimp and grits were savory. They were able to meet every flavor profile for each item and nailed it. I already can't wait to be back for brunch again or dinner.

    I spent MLK Day brunch at Límani with a dear friend after seeing their brunch promotion on Instagram, and it absolutely lived up to the hype. This is a truly luxurious brunch experience from start to finish. The spread was incredible -- abundant seafood, beautifully presented and fresh. The cocktail shrimp, lobster on the half shell, and oyster tower completely won my heart. We also enjoyed a delicious seafood salad, and the carving station sealed the deal with perfectly prepared lamb and one of the best rib eyes I've had at brunch. Beyond the food, the atmosphere is stunning. The décor is elegant and modern, the waterfront views are to die for, and the playlist was chef's kiss -- the kind of music that elevates the entire experience and makes you want to linger. The staff was professional, warm, and attentive without being intrusive, which added to the overall polished feel of the day. If you're looking for an elevated, indulgent brunch at The Wharf that feels special and celebratory, Límani delivers on every level. This is brunch done right.

    Awesome surrounding area, beautiful ambience, attentive service and a delicious variety of food options. I had the pleasure of dining here for a friend's birthday brunch. We well fed, well cared for and our glasses stayed full. I can't wait to go back. I posted pics of some of the dishes to my Facebook and my mom is dying to try them. The cinnamon roll was an indulgence that I didn't need to add to my guilty pleasures list but the damage is done. Pro tip, the greens stand on their own they are so well seasoned and tender.

    Had a fabulous brunch experience here. We did the unlimited everything option and it was absolutely worth it. They even allowed us to stay past the two hour limit with no complaints, which made the experience feel relaxed and welcoming. The staff was friendly, attentive, and quick to clear plates. The food was delicious and surprisingly impressive for a buffet. The mimosas were incredible and clearly made with quality champagne and mixers, not the cheap stuff. The glassware and presentation were a nice touch. The view was great, the service was strong, and the food exceeded expectations. My favorites were the southern style string beans with garlic mashed potatoes and the seafood selection. Overall, a really great experience and one I would happily return to.

    Bottomless mimosas... say less! We went to Limani in Washington, DC for Sunday brunch and it did not disappoint. From the hot plates to the all-you-can-eat lobsters, everything was delicious. The food was fresh, flavorful, and kept coming out hot. The bottomless mimosas were the perfect addition and definitely made brunch even more fun. Our waitress was amazing and very on top of our drinks -- our mimosas were always topped off without us even having to ask, which made the experience even better. The price is just right for what you're getting, especially considering the quality and variety of food. Great atmosphere, great food, and a perfect spot for a Sunday brunch in DC. We'll definitely be back!

    Went to celebrate with friends. Ahmed and Alliana* was great and attentive. We tried several things including lamb chops, the sea bass, fillet mignon, lemon potatoes and calamari. The holiday igloos were so nice as well and my VIP-TINI was good. The views and ambiance were nice as well on a cool winter night.

    My friends and I went to Limani to celebrate a birthday and had a really good time. The space is beautiful and open with floor-to-ceiling windows that do a great job of brightening up the restaurant. They have multiple floors so there's plenty of room for both large and small groups plus they have aa bar area if you just want to hang out there. Our service was okay. Not the greatest but not terrible either. It seemed like they might have been short staffed that day since the bartender was also covering tables so things moved a little slower than we would've liked. Still he was doing his best and we appreciated the effort. Now for the food - it was pretty good! Brunch here is buffet-style with the option of unlimited mimosas and you can find multiple food stations on both the first and second floors with tons of options. Definitely come with an empty stomach. The food overall was enjoyable and the drinks were really good too. I decided to purchase individual drinks and loved my choices (as you can see, that is the picture I got lol) It does lean on the more expensive side but I do think you get your bang for your buck. I would definitely return especially for a celebration. I'm glad I checked it out!

    This is all decor and ambiance. Definitely looks very high inn but it's really not worth it too me I really loved the second waitress. because the first one she started off very shaky. The biggest no, no for me, was the fact that they have three different menus and the food was not very good But it could have been just what I ordered I'm not sure. I would stick to just meeting friends for drinks here and sticking to the apps . If it were me overall, not a totally bad experience, but not a really good one either Kudos to the bartender.

    We went for brunch on a Sunday and were surprised to see a buffet setup as that wasn't indicated when the reservations were made. The food selection was pretty good as was the service. You are limited to 90 minutes and they DO keep track of your time. There are a few parking lots in the area but they are a walk from the restaurant. I would return for brunch and to try dinner.

    Great food, views, and service. The menu may be slightly intimidating at first glance but there are plenty of great options for all party sizes. Service was attentive for a party of 8 and a party of 3. The restaurant sits on the water side of the wharf and has a beautiful view of sunset across the Potomac. I highly recommend for the seafood lovers wanting a romantic evening and vibe

    07.04.2025, Yes. We know Limani offers an award winning brunch, but please don't sleep on dinner! With my family in tow, we went to the WDC location for an early birthday celebration. The wharf had this kinetic energy thanks to the good weather, the holiday, and Cowboy Carter coming to town. This Mediterranean restaurant is gorgeous & they rolled out the red carpet for us. We enjoyed lots of natural lighting and views of the boat filled Potomac from our corner table. It was also perfect because we had sleepy kids, a stroller, etc. and never felt inconvenienced or rushed. It was my first time dining here so we ordered a bunch of food. The flavors, textures, & attention detail were top notch. Even the olive oil had a peppery bite that I loved. Everything was so delicious. We had a bottle of Prosecco and toasted to the occasion after I completed a guided tour. I am grateful.

I was pulling up Yelp to see what bar we wanted to go after and saw this on the list. We were initially going to go to the karaoke bar next door but when we walked inside, it was wayyyy too loud and obnoxious so we were like perfect let's go across the street! We walk into the ramen spot and ask where the speakeasy is and the guy led us to the back and showed us to some stairs to go down. Seriously, how COOL is this place??? The neon lights were so fun! We walked into the bar and immediately loved it! Good amount of bar seating plus some comfy couches and whatnot. There was music but it wasn't too obnoxious, we were still able to have conversations - it was surprisingly chill and exactly what we were looking for. Chatted to the bartender who made some fancy shots for us, had a few drinks. It was not busy at all on a Sat night which was nice. It is very dark inside even with the neon lights so it does make it hard to read the menus (had to use flashlights on our phone). But super fun spot, fun drinks, not too expensive, and a neat and chill experience! It was an excellent find for us for sure!

The bartenders provide top notch service and offer great recommendations. My water glass is always full and they check in often!

Trouble Bird was the answer to my prayers on a recent trip, where I was looking to have high quality drinks and a laid-back NON-commercial vibe with my team. We liked it so much, we came twice in one week, and I was impressed at their ability to handle and be comfortable for a large group in a space that can feel intimate. The lighting is nice and moody, the menu available via QR code, and the WiFi free and listed with password for patrons to use. We had excellent service both times, by the two folks working each night for a groups of 6-8 each time. There was something for everyone from the nondrinkers to the beer enthusiasts, to cocktail aficionados like myself. There's an amazing happy hour deal, with discounts on drinks all Monday and reduced prices for a couple of hours on other weekdays; it almost felt criminal how generous the happy hour was when I've gotten used to paying $20 for a mediocre cocktail at other nearby establishments. And the cocktails here are really very good, probably the best in the area, except for their immediate next door neighbor. The group favorite cocktail was the Midori sour which was incredibly well balanced and refreshing, and the surprising crowd pleaser was the Hamilton Dry Float, which came in a creepy tiki mug presentation that we really loved. We had a couple of the bar bites - the spiced peanuts were well loved across the group but my person favorite food item was the blistered shishitos, which came with a great chipotle aioli. The bathrooms are extremely clean and overall this was a bar favorite for the group for our week of going out and socializing together. Overall this is a gem of a neighborhood hangout with really excellent cocktails and service! Will absolutely come here next time I'm in town!
