    Limani at the wharf offered the best of both worlds: delicious tasty food and superior hostility. We were met with friendly hostesses; while waiting at the lobby the bartender offered drinks while our table was getting ready, which felt very welcoming. The server Mona and Antony were amazing and made our family trip to dc very memorable. We loved the calamari, octopus, oysters were very fresh. The tomatoes in the Greek salad reminded me of Nona’s tomatoes from the garden’s pick. The lemon potatoes were very delicious. For the main we highly recommend to try the lamb dish; very tasty and nicely cooked. This was our first visit as highly recommended from family friends. Will definitely come back.

    The evening started off great with the hostess seating us in a “quieter” spot as I requested. And the waiter brought over champagne for everyone because it was in the records that our anniversary was recent(5/24) which was a very nice treat. And then he was very helpful with our menu selections. The dinner was delicious as always. And our friends will now be returning customers as well to Balos.

    Three beautiful rooms, the outside patio is especially lovely. We got the full dinner, and everything was delicious. I enjoyed trying all the mezzo… it was a lot of food though! Next time I’ll order ala cart for sure. There were a few off-menu surprise morsels as well. A fantastic experience!!!
