    Limani has a lovely brunch - lots of choices including lobster, shrimp, oysters and more. The french toast was a favorite at our table. Cocktails were great too. And the views are spectacular. I also want to highlight how incredibly good they were at managing an anaphylactic nut allergy at our table. Sarah was extraordinary in communicating what was and wasn't safe to eat because it contained nuts and when there was a cross contamination risk. She went above and beyond to ensure that the food and drinks for that person in our party were nut free and to make sure that person was included in all parts of the meal. Highly recommend.

    Tonight, my date and I had the pleasure of dining at Limani DC, and it was an absolutely exceptional experience. Nestled in The Wharf, the restaurant’s ambiance set the perfect tone for the evening with its elegant décor and breathtaking waterfront views. We started with the crab cakes, which were phenomenal—packed with fresh lump crab meat and bursting with flavor. The stuffed calamari was equally impressive, tender and perfectly seasoned, with a delightful filling that left us wanting more. For our main course, we shared the lobster pasta, and it was a masterpiece—succulent lobster mixed with perfectly cooked pasta in a rich, savory sauce. The service was attentive and professional, adding to an already memorable evening. Limani DC exceeded all our expectations, and I can’t wait to return for another perfect date night.

    We rented the igloo experience and it was absolutely freezing. The igloo’s say they are heated for a cozy experience but unfortunately the heater is no where near sufficient for the winter weather and it was absolutely freezing inside the tent. We kept asking for more blankets but they were only able to give us one. The heater does not blow hot air it is just a heat lamp which, even when right next to it, you can hardly feel it. It was unfortunately because it was such an expensive experience. Other than that the food was good and the staff were very nice it was just hard to enjoy ourselves when it was so cold!

    From the moment we walked in we were treated like royalty. The staff is genuinely charming and competent and it is clearly well-managed. The food was outstanding - Dorade and Cowboy Steak. Pumpkin soup was scrumptious as a starter. Bravo, Limani.

    The ambiance and decorations are delightful. The service was excellent, and the food presentation matched the flavors. I highly recommend Limani for special occasions; it's on the pricey side.

    What a beautifully holiday decorated restaurant! We had lunch in one of the 3 igloos on the rooftop, overlooking the Washington Canal with a view of the Jefferson Memorial in the distance. Absolutely stunning, even during the day when the lights weren’t illuminated. The heaters were sufficient to keep us warm. We opted to select from the pre-fix lunch menu. Each person chose a different #1 course. All were delicious and fresh, especially the Greek Meze. For Course #2, the table got the Mediterranean Sea bass, the salmon and lamb chops. Again, delicious!! And last but not least, our server Ryan was everything! Attentive, considerate and fun. The drinks he served were made perfectly. When we return, because we will, we definitely want Ryan again.

    Three of us friends who know DC restaurants quite well are grateful for our lunch experience at Limani today. The atmosphere for visiting and dining with each other was beautiful and quiet. The multiple food choices to share were so well prepared and a pleasure to taste. The baklava dessert with pistachio creme was superb. And the sangria was not only delicious but also very unique in taste. All of the staff who served us were joyful and excellent.
