2022 Update - The LM Restaurant Group has opened its newest location in Ravenswood.
Land & Lake Andersonville's Happy Hours are now: Monday-Thursday 4-5:30pm; Friday & Sunday 3-5:30pm

Mimosa brunch also includes Fridays.


2021 - The LM Restaurant Group has opened its latest addition in Andersonville. "LM Restaurant Group is a family-owned hospitality company that specializes in creating intimate local gathering places that deliver great food and down-to-the-last detail service." Land & Lake is no exception!

When visiting last week, we were greeted by an abundant flower display, announcing their happy hour and specials. Occupying the old Passerotto space, their signage is otherwise subtle. But don't let that fool you - their flavors are not. Everything our party ordered had a little, welcomed, kick to it.

The interior houses booths, high top tables, a sleek bar, and murals that pay homage to the neighborhood. Our group sat in the lovely, back garden patio.  

Our waiter, Eddie, was very attentive. We shared the meatball appetizer, and the portobello mushroom sandwich was a big hit. The pasta dishes were large enough to take some home for the next day's lunch, which is what I should have done. (I ate it all at once  )

Upon Eddie's recommendations, I had the Spring Fizz cocktail, as well as the Papa Don't Peach. He did not lead me astray. Both were delicious and refreshing. Check out their Happy Hour Specials, when their cocktails are more than half off.

Overall, a very nice addition to the neighborhood, and easily a family destination, as they do have a kids menu too.

Though they do not take reservations, I was told that if you call 30 min in advance, they will hold your table.

Cheers!
