I am always up for venturing out of NYC to Jersey, especially for some good eats. But there’s something special about going to Limani Seafood Grill in Westfield, New Jersey. Their menu is extensive; the live seafood and homemade desserts make the entire entire trip worth it. Brunch, lunch, or dinner, there’s no dish that won’t have you drooling and appreciating the Greek-inspired under-the-sea menu including everything from spicy lobster rolls to king crab leg.

The name Limani literally means “seaport” or “harbor”, so you will not be surprised to find accommodating decor inspired by all that lies at the bottom of the sea.

My fellow foodies and I love coming here, because it really is all about the seafood; if you’re a sea foodie (or just a flat-out mermaid!), definitely go out of your way to make a trip out of Limani Seafood.
