    We had a nice Christmas Eve dinner here. The food was excellent as usual, however it was served family style and since there was only the two of us, it was too much food! We took about one-half of it home, but I think there should have been a choice of appetizers and entrees offered.

    We had booked a reservation for Christmas Eve a month in advance, but when we arrived we were not seated for 30 minutes past our reservation time. Nevertheless, once we were seated the service was prompt and friendly, and all of the food was delicious. The various vegetable sides were terrific, including the broccolini, the kombucha squash, and the carrots.

    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.
