Limani Seafood Grill is the perfect spot for a romantic dinner. As one reviewer put it, it's a 'wonderful restaurant' with a 'nice ambiance' that's 'homey' and 'relaxing'. The decor is soothing, and the service is friendly and professional. The food, of course, is the star of the show, with reviews raving about the 'freshest seafood dishes, steaks, rack of lamb, live lobsters from the tank, whole fish'. The fresh, well-presented dishes are sure to impress.

As in the past, Limani is a staple in Central Jersey for fresh seafood and fish, prepared to a highest level of excellence, from taste to presentation. Tonight, we tried two new items for us, but not new to Limani: lobster bisque (excellent, who knew it had just the right amount of kick to differentiate from other lobster bisques out there?!), and the cod in tomato broth was superb! Additional oldies but delicious goodies: salmon with horseradish, shrimp santorini, and their famous Bronzino, so soft it falls off the skin and so tasty! Highly recommend 👍

It was so beautifully decorated for the holidays! Every meal I’ve had at Catherine Lombard has been fabulous along with the service, selection, ambiance & wine & drink selection is excellent! They even brought out a wonderful dessert for my birthday!

Good spot for brunch in New Brunswick - service was great: attentive but allowed us to sit and visit without chasing us out. Creative menu. Recommend the smoked salmon starter and the duck (which I got topped on the kale salad) was yummy.
