We came to Limani for our anniversary and to celebrate our engagement! We did have to wait a little after our reservation time to be seated but it was worth it. The food was great and delicious and they give a lot. The staff was polite and very tentative! Will definitely come back for another dinner!! Thank You Limani for ending our day on a special note!

Impeccable service. Welcoming staff and atmosphere. Brilliant sauces. The house-made bread is wonderful, as is the baked squash dish. Desserts are divine (the custard and ice cream -wow!). Portions might be a tad bigger, but were delicious (lamb skewer and baked cod). I wish I didn't have to speak without raising my voice (perhaps a bit of sound abatement would help?). All in all, a lovely dining experience.

Great restaurant! Go there if you can! Noise level was high, but since we were seated at the very first table the noise level was less a problem. Thanks for the birthday cupcake!

We brought our interns to Iron Gate to celebrate their last day and our waitress Kayla could not have been lovelier. The room, with a fire going, was cozy on a cold day. The food was delicious -- Kayla gave great and knowledgeable recommendations -- and the special touch to congratulate our interns -- pretty little cake pops -- was really above and beyond.
