    The food was authentic and tasty. The atmosphere and decorations were special. The service was excellent. The waitress was attentive to us, very friendly, and gave us good recommendations of wine. The owner of this family-run business stopped by to greet during dinner and then, as we were leaving, she made sure Io courteously chat with us and wave us goodbye at the door. We’ll definitely be back!

    I've been to L'Mida twice at this point, and the second time was disappointing. I do hope this restaurant is able to turn it around, as I love having Moroccan her in the Marina. We booked an 8:45 dinner, and on arrival, the restaurant was all but empty. They had turned on the floodlights over the main dining hall, as well as some bright fluorescent lights over the open kitchen area. This absolutely killed all the work they had done to create an ambiance for dining, as well as told us they were already closed for the night, despite our reservation. Service was curt, rushed, and we felt pressured at every turn to order, eat faster, pay our bill before we were finished. It was awful hospitality, and I have worked these jobs in my own life for years. If the restaurant intends to close at 9pm, realistically, they should not accept reservations past 8pm, knowing the staff will be discreetly cleaning up (without flood lights or fluorescent lights on) in the background, but giving guests at least 2 hours to enjoy a meal, with good service. Again, I hope they can turn this around, but this was dissappointing.

    I had the fish tagline, which was a piece of overcooked salmon on a stew base. My husband ate the lamb shank which seemed small and had nothing else on the plate. We thought the flavoring was delicious however.
