LM Le Restaurant brings neighborhood fine dining to Lincoln Square with a blend of chef-driven contemporary French cuisine, impeccable team service, and an upscale yet welcoming environment. The restaurant boasts the comfort and familiarity of a favorite neighborhood haven and the sense of occasion usually reserved for high-end destination establishments. Executive Chef Bradford Phillips' fine-dining experience includes such notable venues as Blackbird, Gordon, NoMI, and Tru. Phillips’ seasonal menus offer up an American perspective on contemporary French cuisine. Accented with dusky oranges and deep browns, LM boasts three separate candlelit dining areas, each with an intimacy that belies the restaurant's interior seating capacity of 50. A semi-open kitchen faces a small bar that seats eight and holds several tables with white linen table clothes and a well-appointed three-season garden in the rear of the restaurant seats 32. All of these elements work in harmony to create a setting at once sophisticated and embracing.
