    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.

    We stayed in the igloos, and everything about our visit was outstanding! The igloos themselves are private, warm, cozy, and have a great view of the water and Wharf area. The Bose speakers in there were also a nice touch. It was our first time in an igloo, and would love to do it again. The food was also fantastic. I expected it to be good, but it was even better than we had hoped. The first thing my wife commented was how fresh everything tasted. Be warned though, if there are only two of you, it is A LOT of food! Fortunately, we now have lunch and dinner for the next couple days. The minimum spend isn't cheap for two people, but you certainly get your money's worth. Finally, the service was great. Our waiter was very friendly and although I was initially a little concerned that we can't really flag anyone down in the igloos if we need anything, he was there the perfect amount to make sure we had everything we needed, but not intrusive. Overall, an excellent experience and aside from the ridiculous 4% service fee they charge, really nothing negative to note. This definitely stands out as one of the best nights out we've had!

    We went for the igloo dinner for my birthday. For the price of the bill ($800 for 4) all family style until your main course came out, and you literally only got one of per person on the appetizer and they were small bites. I don’t feel like the food was that good for the kind of price. Also, the food came out pretty quickly, but then when the main course came out, the waiter disappeared and then came back 30 minutes later with dessert and said we have five minutes to finish, Because in the igloos you only have a two hour limit, it’s not our fault that he disappeared.

    We had a 30 minute wait for a table with a reservation. I asked to be seated downstairs where it was quieter as two of my guests have anxiety and are veterans with sensitivity to loud areas, but the host insisted on putting us on the second floor where there was a lot of noise. Our table set up was for a party size double of ours so it made engaging with each other hard. I’m not sure if it’s because of the increase in popularity of the brunch but the food was not as good as I’ve experienced in the past. It was truly disappointing to be excited to bring guests here after having had nothing but good experiences and then see it be significantly different and disappointing.
