    Limani has a lovely brunch - lots of choices including lobster, shrimp, oysters and more. The french toast was a favorite at our table. Cocktails were great too. And the views are spectacular. I also want to highlight how incredibly good they were at managing an anaphylactic nut allergy at our table. Sarah was extraordinary in communicating what was and wasn't safe to eat because it contained nuts and when there was a cross contamination risk. She went above and beyond to ensure that the food and drinks for that person in our party were nut free and to make sure that person was included in all parts of the meal. Highly recommend.

    Tonight, my date and I had the pleasure of dining at Limani DC, and it was an absolutely exceptional experience. Nestled in The Wharf, the restaurant’s ambiance set the perfect tone for the evening with its elegant décor and breathtaking waterfront views. We started with the crab cakes, which were phenomenal—packed with fresh lump crab meat and bursting with flavor. The stuffed calamari was equally impressive, tender and perfectly seasoned, with a delightful filling that left us wanting more. For our main course, we shared the lobster pasta, and it was a masterpiece—succulent lobster mixed with perfectly cooked pasta in a rich, savory sauce. The service was attentive and professional, adding to an already memorable evening. Limani DC exceeded all our expectations, and I can’t wait to return for another perfect date night.

    We rented the igloo experience and it was absolutely freezing. The igloo’s say they are heated for a cozy experience but unfortunately the heater is no where near sufficient for the winter weather and it was absolutely freezing inside the tent. We kept asking for more blankets but they were only able to give us one. The heater does not blow hot air it is just a heat lamp which, even when right next to it, you can hardly feel it. It was unfortunately because it was such an expensive experience. Other than that the food was good and the staff were very nice it was just hard to enjoy ourselves when it was so cold!
