Evanston Corner Bistro

What began as a single restaurant in Chicago’s Lincoln Square neighborhood in 2009 has grown into a leader in Chicagoland’s food and beverage and hospitality industry. Named for the owners’ two children, Luc and Mary, LM was founded on the belief that great hospitality is about more than exceptional food—it is about creating welcoming places where people can gather, connect, celebrate, and feel genuinely cared for.

LM also recognizes that some of the most meaningful gatherings are those held to honor and remember someone special. The company provides a welcoming and compassionate setting for celebrations of life, memorial receptions, and gatherings of remembrance, helping families and loved ones come together in a comfortable environment to share memories, tell stories, and celebrate a life well lived. With thoughtful food and beverage service, attentive staff, flexible event spaces, and careful attention to the details, LM helps families create a gathering that feels personal and appropriate for the occasion.

To celebrate with family and friends in remembrance of a loved one, LM approaches every event with the same philosophy: making people feel cared for. Its combination of culinary expertise, hospitality experience, and attentive service allows LM to create gatherings that are not only well executed, but also meaningful and memorable.

At its heart, LM remains focused on the simple idea that hospitality has the power to bring people together. From its roots as a neighborhood restaurant in Lincoln Square to its growing collection of restaurants, venues, catering operations, and hospitality services throughout Chicagoland, LM continues to create places and experiences where people can gather, connect, celebrate, remember, and feel at home.
