5-Star Review for Limani Mediterranean Restaurant If you're looking for an authentic Greek dining experience, Limani Mediterranean Restaurant is a must-visit! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with exceptional service that set the tone for a memorable evening. We started with the octopus and Kolokithi, both of which were absolutely phenomenal. The octopus was perfectly grilled, tender and full of flavor, while the Kolokithi (fried zucchini) was a standout—crispy, light, and served with a unique presentation that added an extra touch of elegance. For the main course, the swordfish was cooked to perfection—very juicy, and seasoned beautifully. The Moussaka, a true Greek classic, was absolutely divine, with layers of rich flavors and the perfect balance of textures. Overall, Limani offers an unforgettable taste of Greece, with dishes that are both traditional and thoughtfully executed. Highly recommend this gem for anyone craving exceptional Mediterranean cuisine!

2nd time in as many months, saved room for deserts this time, but lacked. Things that could be better softer doughnuts, softer cookies, softer bread pudding. Was that supposed to be cream cheese frosting on the carrot cake? French toast bland and dry, wish we had waffles, I love this place, these would be things I would tweak.

We have been to a number of Hell’s Kitchens, mostly with excellent results but sometimes not so much. Our experience in the Washington DC restaurant was outstanding. All aspects of the experience were at the very high level we would expect. The service was excellent and we had warm and accommodating attention the whole night. One of the wait staff even went the extra mile and secured for my daughter the iconic Hell’s Kitchen pin! Kitchen was operating on all thrusters! We had filet, short ribs, and salmon, all of which were cooked to perfection. The sides of potatoes au gratin, macaroni and cheese, and braised brussel sprouts were also exceptionally tasty. Finally, the Caesar salad they brought out was enough for the whole table. The only ding I would say was that it was a bit noisier than we prefer and we did have the unfortunate luck to be seated next to a booth that did have two small children who were a bit rambunctious and noisy. But having had four children ourselves who are all now grown, we well understand and accept the travails of taking young children out to dinner. Overall, our experience was excellent and we will return again when next in DC.

Some of the nicest restaurant staff I’ve met in DC and all of the food literally melted in my mouth it was so good! Definitely recommend trying the butter biscuits with homemade peach jam as an appetizer.

Excellent brunch menu! The service staff could be a bit more attentive, but no complaints outside of that.
