The food, service was amazing. We were a group of 5 and everyone loved what they got. My only suggestion would be to replace the metal chairs for the table with ones that sit straight up vs. a lounge type chair where they lean back away from the table. It makes it difficult to comfortably eat.

I recently visited Lawrey's and was thoroughly impressed by the experience, especially during the holiday season. The atmosphere was wonderfully festive, with beautiful decorations that truly captured the spirit of the holidays. The staff was incredibly welcoming and attentive, making sure every detail was perfect. The seasonal menu offered delicious and unique dishes that added to the holiday cheer. Lawrey's provided a cozy and joyous setting for celebrating the season, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to enjoy a memorable holiday meal. Thank you, Lawrey's, for making the holidays extra special!

Friendly staff but very slow service. Most food was tasty. Stir fry was an odd flavor— too spicy and not enough other robust flavor.

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.
