- EErmiraVIPNew York City •3 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoLimani 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.More infoLimani - DCPrice: Expensive• Mediterranean• Southwest Waterfront•4.4
