Magnificent service. Some of the best. The Yule log—sublime! The pigs in a blanket—imagine what that might be like with a master pastry chef! Shrimp cocktail—how often is it merely passable? Here it is of a uniformly exquisite tenderness. I want to say again, the SERVICE. This place is an industry standard but is generally underrated. Visit it again.

Iconic restaurant with beautiful grand room. Prime rib and all the sides were delicious. At the beginning of the meal, Lawrys offers Warm sourdough bread and butter.The overall ambiance is elegant. I do miss the old/iconic uniform that the servers (waitresses) used to wear. Now, the servers wear a simpler uniform which pales in comparison to the old one.
