    Its been awhile since we have eaten at Cava, but it was a great experience. The server and the rest of the staff was very friendly and greeted us with a smile and they all thanked us and wished us a good night on the way out the door. That says a lot about the management.

    A Dining Experience to Remember! From the moment we walked into Limani, we were greeted with warm smiles and a sense of genuine hospitality that set the tone for an unforgettable evening. The ambiance was inviting, with a perfect balance of elegance and comfort, but it was the staff and service that truly elevated our experience to another level. Every member of the team was exceptionally friendly and professional. Carlos had an impressive knowledge of the menu and took the time to make thoughtful recommendations. His passion and dedication to our satisfaction was evident in every interaction. The food was nothing short of spectacular. Each dish was a work of art, bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. From the appetizers to the desserts, every bite was a testament to the kitchen’s skill and creativity. But what made the meal truly special was how effortlessly the staff anticipated our needs. They refilled drinks without being asked, timed each course perfectly, and even surprised us with a small complimentary treat when they learned we were celebrating a special occasion. It’s rare to find a restaurant where both the food and service excel at such a high level, but Limani has mastered the art of hospitality. By the end of the evening, we were already planning our next visit. If you’re looking for an extraordinary dining experience, this is the place to go. We can’t wait to return!

    We had a wonderful evening tonight at Julii. We ordered burrata, French onion soup, Alsatian tart and scallop crudo for appetizers. For mains we had the trout and the scallop risotto. Everything was excellent. The ambience was lovely, service was perfect - very attentive without being overbearing. Burrata is hard to mess up so of course that was great. The tart while good didn’t live up to the hype. It was still very enjoyable! It’s not so much of a tart as it truly is more of a flatbread pizza, but still very good. The trout was tasty and the scallop risotto was very nice. For me, the stand out dish was the scallop crudo -very bright and refreshing flavors. We had a great time and I would definitely come back again!
