As in the past, Limani is a staple in Central Jersey for fresh seafood and fish, prepared to a highest level of excellence, from taste to presentation. Tonight, we tried two new items for us, but not new to Limani: lobster bisque (excellent, who knew it had just the right amount of kick to differentiate from other lobster bisques out there?!), and the cod in tomato broth was superb! Additional oldies but delicious goodies: salmon with horseradish, shrimp santorini, and their famous Bronzino, so soft it falls off the skin and so tasty! Highly recommend 👍
