limani

so i went for dinner with my few friends for valentines dinner and my bill was $900 plus the mandatory service charge which was to ne added at 20% but instead, i saw $405 tip so i asked the waiter to call his manager, some greek guy with the attitude walks up and he says it is 20% service charge but i pointed out how come it was $405 it does not add up so he says it is what it is and pay the bill i got really upset and told him to calculate and tell me at what percentage is $405 he instead of fixing the bill to correct 20% service charge he started arguing with me and talking down at me in a consending way then i lost my patience and i started raising my voice infont of all the customers so he says i won't be allowed in therestaurantagain if i raised my voice so now i lost it and got more upset then his entirerestaurantstaff came out and they said they will correct the bill to 20% service charge and they readjusted the bill to $180 tip without any apologies, i will never go this shadyrestaurantever again for there behavior, all my friends are very upset with limani.com/li for ripping us off. what a sad scam, renu christou should be ashamed of himself. reno christou you should stop ripping off people, renu if you are so hard on for money go and scam people in other industry not in customer-oriented restaurants business, i cannot wait to see you shut down the roslyn location, we cannot have such a ripoff unscrupulousrestaurantoperators in our neighborhood.

i came with a party of 8 for my mother's birthday. the appetizers were great until my mother tried going to the bathroom and realized there was chewing gum stuck all over her pants and down vest! we looked at the seat she was sitting on and was horrified to see gum smeared all over the chair! for an "upscale"restaurantlike this we were so surprised and immediately called the manager who offered "dry cleaning" if we drop off the pants tomorrow. we live in the city and for me drive 20 miles to drop off clothes to dry clean is ridiculous! the manager then offered us dessert on the house, but that doesn't solve the problem!!! we wanted a better solution but he just walked away. we went in for a nice dinner and instead was treated with disrespect. 

if you want gum stuck all over your clothes and pay hundreds of dollars for dinner, then you should go here. otherwise, if i could, i would give this place negative stars for their unsanitary conditions and disrespect for their customers.

if your think of going to this place looking for greek food, go somewhere else. i'm sorry but i have eaten at many greek restaurants, molyvos, milos, yefsi just to name a few and those were real greek restaurants and real greek food. all this place is is an upscale mediterraneanrestaurantmasking itself as greek that robs you blind.  my family and i went there after a college graduation hoping for dinner, our reservation was made however when we arrived at 2:30pm instead of serving us a dinner menu they would not accommodate our party of 6 for dinner, but instead got shoved down our throats a sunday brunch buffet that after being robbed of $400 none of us walked out eating anything that we wanted and not full besides, all because there was hardly anything left and the cooking staff never filled any already taken dishes.  in essence we had a half an hour to eat a sunday brunch of shit food at $50 a person plus tax and tips.  we complained but it all fell on deaf ears, it was our fault for not walking out in the first place but our party guests wanted to stay for maybe things would get better.i don't care if they are the lastrestauranton the face of this earth for i will never go there again or recommend this place to anyone, ever.

brunch not worth the $$. we were quite surprised at our disappointment with limani's sunday brunch but more so with the lack of regard from the manager when i contacted him a couple of days later with our experience. it was a special occasion for us...our 25th wedding anniversary which we celebrated with our daughter & mother-in-law. therestaurantwas 20% occupied (red flag right there) which reminded me that's how it was the first time we had brunch there. there is no doubt about the restaurant's elegance and quality of service, unfortunately, the food did not match up to the same nor meet our expectations. at the carving station the meat selections, including the lamb chops, were all dry & well done. the brisket was difficult to eat since the server wasn't carving it properly. brisket should be sliced against the grain, which i pointed out. unfortunately, he didn't understand me. the french toast was burnt and the waffles were cold. i didn't try the lobster but did try the shrimp and they were a little soft & mushy for some reason- maybe they were defrosted early that morning and then put on top of the ice. regardless, they weren't enjoyable to eat. the sushi although, was delicious. the dessert that was spread out on the bar was limited. most of it was just ok. my daughter ate the blondie and was appalled...it was like a dried up sponge. needless to say how upset we were spending $50 per person for this. i decided to give the manager a call inform him of our experience. by the way, there was no manager in site on sunday. the only people around were the servers. i contacted the manager a couple of days later to inform him of our experience. initially, he asked me for my phone number, how many times we ate at therestaurantand when we were there last and then put me on hold. after returning, he told me exactly when we were there last and also asked me how i paid. (a gift certificate from my brother & sister in law) what does that have to do with anything? it was as if he was trying to catch me in a lie. he told me we came to therestaurantonly one other time in 2010. he was on the defense from the beginning and made me feel that my experience was not valid since we weren't regular customers. i mentioned that it was quite expensive and we work very hard for our money and didn't feel we got what we paid for. he replied back that this is the area we live in. i wasn't looking to get into an argument with this person. he made me feel like i was guilty of something. he then proceeded to tell me that if all of his food was so bad he would not be in business. he also made a comment which made absolutely no sense. he said he is not in business to please people just to serve good food. i couldn't believe what i just heard and asked him if he realized what he had just said. he thought i was making fun of how he was talking, which was not the case. in fact, he actually spoke the truth. it is evident he is not interested in pleasing his customers otherwise he might have offered to do something to satisfy a dissatisfied customer. that would have been good business. he continued to tell me that he cannot do anything for me in which i then interrupted him and told him you can do something, you just choose not to. i told him that he needed us more than we need him and that he was not a good businessman...then hung up

i never expected arestaurantof limani's caliber to end up in long island but perhaps maybe on 60th and madison. limani is an upscale, chic greekrestaurantlocated not too far from the americana mall in roslyn. rolls royces, bmws, bentleys and mercedes-
