   The food was fantastic! French onion soup, steaks, sides, sauces, and carrot cake were all delicious, cooked perfectly, and beautiful presentation. Our booth was private and quiet. The only issue we had was with the wine list- wines by the glass were very expensive and no red zinfandels on the list, so I ordered a bottle - the only zin in the list, and they were out of it. So back to the wines by the glass, I asked to sample two that were most zin like and they were out of one so she brought me another that was twice as expensive. It was best but I’m not paying $24 for a glass of wine, and I feel like they should have offered it to me at the price of the other wine. I ended up having a beer…

   A crushing disappointment! We went for a birthday dinner and had stopped by a few weeks earlier to see the restaurant. Aesthetically, the restaurant is beautiful and I had high hopes. Those hopes were dashed the minute we walked in for our reservation. The place felt dead and soulless, not helped at all by the funereal Christmas music that was playing. It was seriously dirge-like and cast a pall over the room and evening. Zero energy & no sense of festivity, buoyancy or possibility. Then there was the service. Our waiter was an odd-duck whose vibe and approach were totally wrong for what Law’s aspires to be. He was both intrusive and inattentive, disappeared for long stretches, never offered a second cocktail when we’d finished our first and made no reference to the birthday I’d noted in our reservation. Finally, the food. It was fine, not great. Despite a fabulous menu and wine list, the food itself doesn’t remotely compete with the big-boy high-end steakhouses. To overcome the dreary ambiance and frustrating service, it needed to be great and it just wasn’t.

   Food tasted great but for the price the service was mediocre at best. Upon reservation there was an option for mentioning occasion. Not an acknowledgment or recognition of it. Steak was cooked to perfection however the sides were just ok. Dessert could have been out of any kitchen or grocery store so not worth mentioning (chocolate cake w/ice cream) There are many great steak places in Denver with way way better service. Sorry I won’t be back or recommend this place

   Laws exceeded all expectations. The ambience was warm and inviting, the service attentive and excellent, and the food absolutely delicious—steaks cooked to perfection. Great value for the quality. Highly recommended!

   Quality/Flavor of the food was not commensurate with the prices. Sides were the best part -even the small were tasty and enough for the table of 5. Creme Brulee was poorly presented - carmelized sugar topping was uneven and burnt on some of them. Sommelier (Manager?) was a bit condescending when discussing what we "needed" and did not hear (or listen to) a couple of our specific requests - and he didn't know the cost of his own products. I doubt I will return.

   Was excited to try something new after skimming some of the reviews. The waitress either didn’t want to be there or didn’t want to wait on us and was slow as molasses. We got the calamari which was chewy but well presented. Surf and turf was ok, I thought the turf was a little off tasting but my husband said it was ok. My bone in rib-eye was beautifully cooked, but every single thing was bland. From the steak to the butter, the purée potatoes, the mushrooms, every thing was bland. The mac n cheese was chunky like cottage cheese but tasted ok, but under salted. There was no salt on the table and we could barely get a refill of water let alone a straw. We could’ve went to Texas Roadhouse for half the price, been treated better, and had a satisfying meal.

   We went to Law's as nothing else was available. The server was great. The food, not so much. They served Thanksgiving dinner family style. The salad bar was greens and maybe three other choices. Nothing was labeled. When asked what the toppings were she said "I dunno." Same with the pie selection. "I dunno what the flavors are." How about some labels or other indicators which was which. The pecan pie was pure sugar and the cherry pie filling came out of a can. The turkey was good as was the ham. Canned corn? Yuck. The gravy was awful. Watery. The carving station was out of the way, there was no au jus or horseradish cream. I asked for some and they brought me a dish of pure horseradish. It's a steak house the should know what they are doing. Will never go back.

   We occasionally go to Law's for a steak or some fish, but decided for a change to visit for Thanksgiving. It wasn’t apparent when we made the reservation that this was a limited offering and a (partial) buffet. I talked my husband into staying because the menu said tha there was a beef tenderloin carving station. When we went to the ‘carving station’ they said to come back in ten minutes because they didn’t have any more. When my husband went back, they had some well done beef that tasted like pot roast. We let our sever (Katlynd, I think) know that’s what they had and she kindly went and got us some medium rare beef. She was the best part of this meal. The green beans were a gray color, and the mashed potatoes were gluey and gummy. The desserts were like you would get from a grocery store. Disappointing for a serviceable neighborhood restaurant. We’ll go back, but not for a holiday meal.

    We went to laws for thanksgiving dinner. For a chop house you would think the food would be great. The presentation of the meal itself, served family style, was nice. However, the food was lukewarm and served with teaspoons not serving spoons. They did have a salad bar and dessert station. The desserts looked like they had been sitting for quite some time. They also had a prime rib station but the meat wasn’t hot and had little flavor. A very, very disappointing meal.
