Limani Grille

I regret our experience at Limani. That is in the best sense. We ate too much. It was all good.Our party of four consisted of two runners who would be doing the Memorial Day half marathon twelve hours later and our respective spouses (college roommates). I was worried we had ordered more than we could finish. Nobody listened. We just about did it. I hate to waste food. I was more than prepared for the race.We had chopped salad, the chips, lobster mac and cheese, chicken meatballs, fava beans, mussels, and a whole fish. The salad had a few tiny peppers, round ones that were just right for me but too hot for my wife. The chips are made of zucchini and eggplant, alternating, served with tzatziki, cut so thin it must have been done with one of those scary mandolins and fried by someone whose hand and timing are experienced and perfect. The lobster made and cheese is what the runners consumed for calories. Although the chicken meatballs are not my favorite dish, these were about the best I have tried. Fava beans are something I always think to myself I ought to have more of. The mussels were the smaller type my wife favors. The fish was great, fresh and at a midpoint between flaky and meaty and fishy and not. I had non alcoholic beer. That is a product that has been improved greatly. The complimentary bread was served with their house brand olive oil.The server was attentive. The manager (or maitre d or more important server, in a pink jacket from the Miami Vice catalog, a compliment and not a criticism -- I'd like to have one of those) came by to check on things. They were busy. That's a good sign. The whole neighborhood was bustling. As a New Yorker, I get to Boston maybe every other year. I don't remember this area as being so popular. It is good to see.PS My friend finished first in his division. I finished at the back of the pack, but I passed people successively as the race progressed.

Food superb. All dishes were the proper temperature and visually appealing. I hate when food tastes better than it looks. Look good AND taste good is what kitchens need to strive for. Limani Grille ‍Ambiance excellent. Sat in a fishbowl booth I call them. You look out into the entire restaurant. And everybody looks at you too . We beat the rush barely. But no waiting on our meal. Everything was timed impeccably. One note our server never asked if I wanted a wine refill. That's my only issue. But it didn't take away from the overall experience. I would definitely go back again when in the area of course. I just couldn't muster up the excitement to give 5 but it's a very strong 4.4!

Food was spectacular. The octopus is a must; perfectly tender. The halibut with the tomato sauce was amazing! But, the new dessert Pear and Figs was SHOWSTOPPING. Fall flavors, pear was poached perfectly and the figs added a nice textural contrast. The Pavlova was a not a traditional pavlova, but was still amazingly delicious, light and fruity. Coffee was surprisingly delicious too. Ambiance was modern but classy.

Came with a group of 4 during our trip to Boston and had a good experience. Greek food isn't my favorite, but everything was yummy. Only issue was that I think my chicken may have been a bit undercooked--it was pretty pink in the middle, so I didn't finish it. Didn't get sick though, so no issue!

I went with my friends to celebrate a birthday on a Friday night. We ordered a bunch of different apps and entrees to share. My favorite was the octopus; it came out very tender and flavorful. Everything was so delicious. For drinks, I ordered the Aphrodite, which was strong and so pretty! Service was attentive and friendly. I loved the beautiful interior.I'm looking forward to coming back again!

I came here for happy hour two days in a row and it was nice and quiet during the weekdays, despite being here for a conference at the Omni. Christina, the bartender, is so sweet. She recommended the sliders and they're definitely tasty and very tender. The buns were soft and moist. The duxbury oysters were fresh and delicious that I got them both days. Would love to come back and try their other food options next time.

I came here because I saw this on the Boston calendar and it was Sinatra night. I love Frank Sinatra so naturally, I had to make a reservation and was a wonderful experience.The place was contemporary chic and was packed. We were seated at a nice booth, and there is a great view of the restaurant and far away from the band where I can have a conversation and listen to some good tunes. We ordered the grilled octopus and tuna tartare to start which were amazing then I had the best chilean Sea bass and sampled the lamb shank which was a fall of the bone experience. Dessert was big enough to share for two. I had the orange cake and it was amazing. The music in the background was great and on their break they put Greek traditional music on and the staff was waving napkins in the air and I squeezed a little Greek dancing on my way to the ladies.I really want to give this place five stars, but there was a delay to get our cocktails first because the appetizers came out beforehand. Our server grabbed them immediately when he was aware. Then he almost forgot the our tuna tartare because he wanted to ask us if we were ready for the main course and we reminded him we're still waiting for the tuna Tartare. The server gave us complimentary cappuccino which were not great, and we got them spilt on the saucer and we asked the helper if he can give us a napkin. Instead of just giving us a new saucer and wiping the cup, he just placed a bunch of cocktail napkins on the saucer to soak it up. Lastly, when the bill came, the second Prosecco's was charged $17 versus the initial $14 Prosecco I had. The server did offer to give us a difference in cash, but we just wanted to inform him. Also, he also accidentally broke the candle votive but had it swept immediately.Overall, we did have a good time there and the staff was nice, but they just need a little tweaking to make this a five star experience.

Flavors - 3.5/5Textures - 4.5/5Presentation - 3.5/5Value for Money - 3.5/5Would return? NoI went for lunch to try their $34 fixed menu. The food here is good and very well executed, although I'd say more mediterranean than Greek. The flavors are basic, there is nothing new, innovative or interesting about it... but again well seasoned and balanced. I tried their crab cakes and trio of dips as appetizers, both very tasty! Warning that the crab cake is one bite. Then I tried the Dorade fish and Salmon for entrees, just basic grilled fish with lemon and steamed veggies. Cooked to perfection though! Dessert was a cinnamon walnut cake with ice cream and the sorbet, both good but nothing too exciting. I wouldn't return just because their menu is not that exciting.

The food here was delicious!!! Recommend the ahi tuna or sea bass. We will definitely be returning. Very friendly staff.

Outstanding!Very nice decor! Friendly host staff and manager. Bar is well stocked and hosts a good selection of wines and spirits!Servers were friendly and knowledgeable of the menu and also about the wine list as well as the specials drink menu. Food was amazing! Some of the best grilled octopus I have had to date!!! Ret of the apps were also amazing and for entries, I went with the lamb shank, outstanding.! Try the burger!!! Over all all the food had great flavor and proportions! Well worth it.I very much enjoyed my dining experience and look forward to my next experience here!!!
