Mary: Front table great for people watching. Crabmeat starter absolutely delicious. Swordfish tuna griddle rice and broccoli rabe w feta all fabulous. Topped off w shared flour less chocolate cake:)
Scott Sklar: For best results get the Swordfish but ask for it plated like the scallops. Tomatillo salsa and roasted corn. AMAZING!
Julia Kaplan: Best selection of oysters for a $1 happy hour I've ever seen! Also a great wine list and helpful, friendly service.

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.
Andrew Smallwood: Great for breakfast with a twist
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!

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.
Özge Özsoy: Very lazy guys! If you want to wait more than 30 minutes you can eat!

Zoë E.: Incredible food, great service and an adorable atmosphere. No need to order hummus - they bring you hummus and pita when you sit down. Say it's your birthday - you're in for a treat.
The Corcoran Group: Come and enjoy delicious Greek food, especially the Grilled Calamari, Shrimp & Octopus, and get a whole Bronzini. The clintele skews older.
Dan Berube: Great service and yummy seafood. Grilled calamari is the best I've had.

Alex Bogdanovich: Don't trust those who say they have a bad service! All guys work excellent ! Good music, cozy place! Fresh, homemade bread! Also they can cook anything u want even if it's not in a menu.
Ashley Mas: One of my favorite restaurants in NY! Spectacular food, classic old Italian ambiance. Worth the price, but it's not for you if you're looking for something quick and/or quiet (like I said, Italian...)
Alberto: Horrible service...completely ignored after our dinner was served. Took 45 minutes to leaves after we were done
