Kane Realty announced on Thursday the second restaurant slated for its Main District expansion project in Raleigh’s North Hills.

Limani Grille, an upscale Mediterranean seafood restaurant centered around traditional Greek specialties, first opened on Long Island in 2008, and received high praise from The New York Times.

This will be Limani Grille’s first location in Raleigh but its second in North Carolina. Limani has restaurants in Charlotte, Manhattan, Long Island and Chestnut Hill, Mass.
