   Another incredible dining experience at Limani Grille— the food was absolutely out of this world, as always. The flavors, presentation, and freshness never disappoint. The staff was super friendly and accommodating, and the hostess was the real MVP of the night. Without her, we likely wouldn’t have stayed. Unfortunately, our arrival was a bit chaotic since the restaurant had been rented out for a private party before our reservation. When we walked in (about five minutes early), the event was still going strong—loud and not exactly the atmosphere we were expecting. If this is a regular occurrence, I’d highly recommend implementing a 30-minute buffer between private events and dinner service. This would give the team enough time to reset the space and ensure a smoother transition for guests coming in for their reservations. That said, once things settled, the experience was excellent. I’ll definitely be back—just hoping for a more seamless start next time!

   We were in the mood for the appetizers and shareables and they did not disappoint! The Limani Chips - thinly sliced eggplant and zucchini flash-fried - were the highlight.

   Food was so, so but we were not rushed as we visited with friends for over an hour and a half. We had the fixed price lunch which was priced reasonably. Probably will try another spot if were ever at the Seaport again.

   The food was amazing. Perhaps the best mussels we’ve ever tasted. Also greatly enjoyed fish, octopus, halloumi, and the fresh crisp salad. Our head server was Mario, and he made our birthday celebration soar. He was so attentive to our party, asking early about allergies, and checking an hour later if we could have a different type of nut. 6 stars for Mario!

   The food and atmosphere were good, however there were issues with the service.. there was a used napkin left next to our table on the window sill, which was obviously from the previous customers. Also, a water bottle got broken right next to us. From a $400 dinner, you expect more even if it’s on a busy day like Valentine’s day.

   I want to begin by saying that our meal was absolutely fantastic. However, the service left much to be desired. Our waiter did not return to our table after taking our order—not to check on our meals, offer another drink, or even pick up our credit card when we were ready to pay. We had to flag down another staff member to take our payment. Additionally, there was a 30-minute gap between our empty dinner plates being cleared and our desserts being served, which we had to request. Keep in mind, there was a prix fixe menu since it was Valentine’s Day, and I understand it was a busy night. Still, we placed our order for all three courses upfront. This does not excuse the complete lack of attention from our waiter. He could have easily sold us more drinks if he had just asked. We will return because we love the food, but we will avoid visiting on a holiday like Valentine’s Day, as the prix fixe menu was outrageously overpriced for what we received.

    Quite frankly, 415$ for what we received is down right a scam. 1 crab cake as an appetizer, lamb chops and fries, and 2 chocolate strawberries does not equal 130$ per person. I am disappointed in the establishment for charging that much money for sub par food. If I am going to be spending that much money I believe it should be top notch food and top notch service. The server was great and the atmosphere was good but for what I spent I left very underwhelmed and would not go back. Additionally; the bus person continued to come to the table and tried to take out plates which clearly still had food on them.
