"We had not visited LM in quite a few years, but had heard about some positive changes there so decided to give it a try. The food and service were both of a really high standard and the new look and feel ( clean and minimalist with some lovely decor ) was a 400% improvement over what it had been before. Prices were good and background music not too loud. Emmanuel our waiter was attentive without being intrusive and the complimentary chicken livers were a special touch. Definitely going to be visiting again. Can highly recommend to anyone who has not been there in the past 18 months or so."

"Wow, what an amazing experience - we haven't been to "LM in the East" in quite some time and we were not aware that the restaurant relocated a bit, but at the same location and was totally redone and made real trendy and cosy. The "Seafood platter for 1" was so scrumptious and fresh, served with chips, rice and 2 vegetables portions. It was so delicious and carefully prepared and tasty. We will definitely visit the establishment again soon, as it comes highly recommended and we will spread the word to our friends and family. Well done on all the renovations and having a feeling of "coming home" for all patrons."

"First time eating here and we were really impressed. The waiter was friendly, the food was delicious. We could not get enough of it and I still have the taste of the cappachino in my mouth The only downside was we couldn't try the Gin with orange juice as there is no cocktail barman at the moment. However when compared to the rest of the experience I would still highly recommend LM in the East."

"I felt like the food at the refurbished LM in the East is not as good as it used to be. I visited here for the first time in 2 years, after being a regular for many years. The food was fresh, however it did not have the same flavors of the past. We visited on a Monday afternoon, whilst the restaurant was not busy the food does take a while to be prepared. The service was good and we enjoyed the restaurants new, fresh look and ambience. It's a pity there is no kids area."
