Hailey Heewoo Kim: Cute atmosphere, awesome food! The calamari was amazing(!!) and absolutely loved(!!!) the squid ink rigatoni with crab - it had the perfect hint of spice! Looking forward to another visit!
Jeff Woo: Being a fan of JW & Barbuto, Jams has similar great dishes like the Seared Gnocci. The Calamari on Bread is also great. Unfortunately, not much else was.
Roniel Tessler: Delicious & excellent service. This place should be a regular go to for tourists and locals. The gemelli is excellent, as is the pot De creme dessert, and lamb merguez starter.

Treyci: ive eaten a lot of calamari but the one here is damn good. Tator tots are good, there's mashed potato inside! Skirt steak is delis, no sauce needed.
Andrea Gambardella: Calamari is a must, burgers are old fashion style and really juicy, onion string great side, but I'd skip the brownie dessert. Hostess and bartenders were dolls but our waitress was not great
Charles Hinds: Good services but overpriced burgers that were not very good. Calamari was a good choice though.
Danley Hu: A really neat wine and dine Mediterranean restaurant. I love their lamb dishes. They also make a perfect grilled salmon. The fried calamari and fries are also delicious.
Roger Schonfeld: The food is great. We enjoyed the hummus with pastrami and the calamari appetizers, and the lamb Adana was delicious.
Elegran: Refined ambiance and decor make it a perfect place for business lunch in Grand Central area. Also a good spot to share delicious lavash chips and hummus with friends, and enjoy a good bottle of wine. Read more.

Michael G.: Very expensive but the food is absolutely delicious. Definitely get the grilled calamari to start.
Eater: Long Island Greek fish restaurant Limani recently opened its second location. The name means seaport in Greek and appropriately offers a fish focused menu including whole fish baked in salt. Read more.
John E: Food is fantastic, particularly the chicken kebab, which keeps me coming back. Outdoor dining pop-up area during the summer is a rare find in this area. But service is consistently disappointing.
