Great food, atmosphere, and service! Their bread and salad is wonderful! I have had several meals on the menu and can say they were all wonderful. They do change up their menu often to keep it new and exciting- I would highly recommend this to anyone!

Our B&B directed us to this downtown restaurant. Looked like a place that locals would go for a nice meal. We ate on the patio which was nice and not too crowded - the interior bar and dining areas were nice too! All of us were happy with our meals and the prices were $10-25 range which gave us much...

OK. Dubuque. Great Food. Not how I would start but hey, we were traveling through our regular path, heading from Milwaukee to central Iowa and said to my husband, "so, is it gonna be Burger King or McD. ?" We got busy on the internet and up popped this restaurant. Seriously, do not let this gem pass you by..First of... More

We are a local business and had our work holiday party at L.May this past winter. We had a wonderful private setup in the lower level stone room. The ambiance was soft and inviting. We choose one of the group menu packages and had outstanding food from start to finish. Our main server was Chris B. and he did an... More

We are traveling through the area and trip advisor pointed us to this quaint little restaurant. Everything was spectacular. Food had unique flavor, ample portions, and was moderately priced. Server was extremely friendly and very helpful. Atmosphere is cozy and evening-dark. Town itself has a historical, big-small-town feel. Couldn't be more pleased.

Every part of our order was bass ackwards, pizza soft not crispy, water tap no ice, ceiling fans so strong the food was cool before finishing. Not the usual service or quality, but acknowledged and made it right. Disappointed, yet will be back for great beer wine selections, and when a restaurant makes an errer then fixes..will be back.

This place is a very high end restaurant with menu items that you don't see every day. My wife had a pork dish that got a 'wow' response when she took her first bite. It's a little pricey but I don't mind spending extra money for quality food. The atmosphere is nice but it got a little loud at times... More

The food is fabulous, everything from appetizers, the entrees, and desserts. The house red pepper butter that comes with the bread has just the right bite.

My wife and I had the pleasure of dining at L. May last night, and let me tell you it was unparalleled to other restaurants in the area! The food and drink selection was great! We ordered the crab stuffed oysters as an appetizer which were delicious, then we had the sea bass and duckling as entrées. Our waitress, Megan... More
