    Not a place to come for a quiet meal before going to the theatre. Ear drum piercing noise from multiple tables. And the place was only a third full. Food and service excellent.

    Good vibe, great service and good food. If looking for a location to go with friends and/or a casual date this would be a great choice. If you’re looking to have small bites and a drink at the bar this would also be a great option as well.

    We loved everything. My filet mignon was perfectly cooked, it melted in my mouth. My husband is a vegetarian and had the tofu fried rice and even though he usually does not like tofu he thoroughly enjoyed it. Their house-made ginger beer was a hit in my drink. And my favorite of the night was the brussels sprouts. The flatbread was visually spectacular but lacked a little in execution. We found it a little tough to cut, and quite saturated with oil and seasonings; I had to be super careful not to stain my cream colored outfit. On the other side of the meal was the dreaded 20% service fee which my husband was quite annoyed about (especially since we also left a well deserved tip to our server). He felt that at those prices restaurant owners should pay their staff a living wage and not ruin the experience for paying customers by presenting this universally disliked “service fee”.

    We loved the food and the servers were incredible! They always kept our water cups topped off. We also enjoyed chatting with our server about the pin he was wearing. We love when staff are so personable! It was a little louder in the restaurant than we would have liked and it made it a bit hard to hear the waiter going over the specials, but it wasn’t due to too many people and we had a lovely night celebrating my husbands birthday. It was our second time back to Limani and I’m sure it’s not our last! :-)
