    There were 4 of us for dinner on a Sunday, our first time going. We all ordered different dishes and shared some sides. The brussels sprouts were so good because they were not over cooked and still had a green color to them, and I can say the same thing for the broccoli side dish. Everyone loved what they ordered, all the food was delicious. We will definitely return and if you haven't tried LMT - just go!

    Great little neighborhood bistro. Fun environment with good selection of drink and elevated bar food. Tried the chipotle chicken lollipops for the first time and they were excellent. Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside with the chipotle barbecue sauce, they were excellent.

    Drinks came quick and were delicious but food arrived almost too fast, before we finished. We both enjoyed the food- salmon and veggie burger. Sat a little too long waiting for check to come. So overall great, just timing a little off.
