Since 1988, Lalime's has been an area hot spot for fine French-American dining. Locally-owned and certified as a green business, the restaurant has been featured by the Michelin and Berlitz travel guides, and was given an "Extraordinary" rating in the 2006 and 2009 Zagat's surveys. Executive Chef Brian White and Sous Chef Amanda Joost strive to maintain a menu based on local produce and meats, preferably organic, supporting local businesses. Customer favorites include the roasted rack of lamb with spring onion jam, rapini pesto, red wine emulsion and spiced yogurt; and the Washington King Salmon with olive oil smashed potatoes, salsa verde, pimenton and aged sherry vinegar.
