This was a business lunch and it was perfect - they have seating that is in a 'quiet area' or seating if you are out for fun. Great service and food

Limani was PERFECT for our pre-show dinner. The staff were incredibly attentive. The VIEW and restaurant were beautiful. The food was delicious, and we loved their oversized wine glasses! We had the grilled Calamari, scallops, ceviche, Halloumi Cheese, Lemon Potatoes and more. It was really lovely and the waitstaff could not have been more on top of everything. I had gone during their first week and I can say it has only gotten WAY better!

Everything we tried was outstanding!!! The service was TOP! A little bit too noisy, it was quite challenging to maintain the conversation--maybe some noise reducer panels could help. But please keep up with the great food and service! :)
