Best Restaurants for Foodies in Lawrence

Can't say enough good things about Beginnings. Food was great and portions very large. Many dishes can be shared easily. The restaurant felt so warm and inviting. Really decorated nice. Service Excellent. If you like Fried Chicken, the 'Yardbird" is great. Go Enjoy!!

Initially we waited a little while to be served, but soon after service greatly improved. We ordered and were quickly brought appetizers and then the entrees. All enjoyed their entrees. The lobster quesadillas which on the special menu were delicious. The desserts we shared of churros and tres leches were very tasty. Excellent Mexican cuisine enjoyed by all.

We loved this restaurant. This was a new find for us - one town over from where we live. Being Italian it's hard to find Italian food that I like since I am used to fresh ingredients at home. The foundation sauce in this Italian Restaurant is delicious. The variations of the vodka and spicy sauces are tasty, as well. The personal pizza was big enough for two if you have an app, but we ordered it to try and have some leftovers. We loved the igloo, but honestly the inside of the restaurant was just as cute and festive. Our server, Irene, was super helpful and quick but the food was still spaced enough where we could enjoy it. The garlic knots were huge and tasted great. I am still shocked that I had never gone to this establishment before, but so glad we found it.

Excellent food, staff, and ambiance! Our family had a wonderful time.
