    Reservation for 4 made 3 weeks in advance. Waited about 20 minutes for table. Party of 4 seated at folding table meant for 8 persons. Door at the end in the table opened to outside and cold air came across the table with every opening of the door. The door would not always close fully so cold draft across the table consistent. The staff walked past the table rapidly and opened the door loudly while serving a party outside creating a disturbance with each person passing. Our server understood the problem but was powerless to fix it. No manager came to us to explain or apologize. All in all a terrible dining experience. Based on this interaction I would not recommend this restaurant. The food was good (not great) and the value average. The service was as good as could be expected based on the environment.

    Our waitress was incredibly nice and went the extra mile for my Daughters Birthday…only issue was that dinner took almost 2 hours. The kitchen was incredibly slow. We most certainly will be back as this is the first time we have had such an issue at L+M

    Food was wonderful. The goat cheese platter and the bread to start is highly recommended. The mac and cheese for a side was the best Mac and cheese I’ve ever had. The cheesecake dessert was amazing and the best cheesecake ever - so light and airy!
