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

I have had the pleasure of dining at L.May Eatery twice this year for dinner. The food and service are amazing. The menu offers an excellent variety. There is also a good selection of cocktails, beer and wine. I would definitely recommend this restaurant and can't wait to go again. Both times it was very busy on the upper level... More

The service was very good, our waitress was attentive but didn't hover. Her recommendations were spot on. We shared the spinach and artichoke dip served with wedges of pita bread. The... More

Went out to dinner on a Monday night. I had no idea how nice L.May is! I ordered the isle of Capri pizza, it was great! Also had a glass of sangria, delicious! Our waitress Cathy was very friendly and helpful. I will definitely go there again :)

L. May is by far our favorite restaurant in Dubuque. We went with another couple to celebrate two birthdays! Cathy was our server she was excellent and she made sure our drinks were always full and even brought us out free desserts! Great experience.

Wonderful ambiance, inventive menu, well-executed dishes, attentive service. We could not have asked for more. We are foodies and really enjoyed ourselves.
