Lalime's developed a cult following with an insiders' newsletters that advertised the ever-changing fixed price menu, but for the last few years, the restaurant has flourished under a more traditional format. The two-level spot has a warm neighborhood atmosphere, with friendly service and food by Steve Jaramillo to match.
