    When we arrived at the reception, there were two hosts and no one else waiting. They took a few minutes to acknowledge us and eventually directed us to the PH floor, which I assumed would be the best seating. Unfortunately, I was wrong. The third floor was disappointing. We were greeted by a bar area with plastic chairs and tables without tablecloths—nothing like a fine dining experience. We were seated by a window with no view, and the entire area felt neglected. We were the only ones seated there, which made it awkward. The DJ was packing up his equipment, and a server was cleaning tables with ammonia, which gave both my wife and me splitting headaches due to our allergies. The menus were also dirty and worn out, adding to the unpleasant atmosphere. I went to the restroom, hoping for a moment of respite, but it was shockingly dirty—one of the worst I’ve seen in a restaurant. On my way back, I peeked at the second floor and was stunned by the stark difference: elegant tables with white tablecloths and a peaceful atmosphere. It was everything the third floor was not. Frustrated, I returned to my wife, and we decided to leave. On our way out, the two hosts didn’t ask if everything was okay. We went next door to Hell’s Kitchen, where the difference was night and day. From the warm welcome to the exceptional food and service, it was everything Limani failed to deliver. Sadly, Limani did not live up to its fine dining reputation. The poor atmosphere on the third floor, dirty menus, and lack of customer care made this a disappointing experience we won’t repeat.

    Amazing Amazing Amazing!!! Zero complaints and worth the $600. I spent 3 times this amount at Salt Bae in NYC and this was by far alot better. The waitress was so attentive and didn't miss a thing.

    The brunch buffet was definitely worth the price. I typically don’t like buffets but there were plenty of options and the food was consistently replenished. The baklava pancakes, the brussel sprouts and the seafood options were my favorite.

    Our first time there and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Was there to celebrate my boyfriend’s birthday and we were not disappointed. The food, service and ambiance were impeccable. We will definitely be back. Thank you!

    Many serves coming in and out of the second floor, but would forget to close the sliding door and sometimes would like it all the way open switch resulted in us getting cold often.
