Five-Star Review for Laws Chophouse – A Perfect Dining Experience Laws Chophouse absolutely exceeded our expectations from the moment we walked in. We arrived nearly an hour early for our reservation, fully expecting a long wait, but instead, we were immediately offered the option to sit at the bar or wait just three minutes for our table—talk about top-tier hospitality! The service was second to none. Every staff member we encountered was professional, attentive, and genuinely friendly, making us feel truly valued as guests. And the food? Outstanding. Every bite was perfectly cooked, flavorful, and well worth the visit. Pair that with the excellent ambiance—elegant yet comfortable—and you have the perfect setting for a memorable meal. Laws Chophouse has definitely earned a spot at the top of our list, and we’ll be back without hesitation. If you’re looking for great food, impeccable service, and a fantastic atmosphere, this is the place to be!

Lovely! Our second visit. Service is perfect. Great ambiance. We had the special Valentines menu. The burrata was really creative in the garnish and presentation. Wish bread came with it as just forkfuls of cheese isn’t ideal. The squid ink pasta was very good. Alittle salty. Loved my short rib with polenta. Our desserts were outstanding and the decaf espresso was so good! Will certainly go back for the regular menu.

This place is awesome. My only regret is living 5 minutes away for five years and not having gone sooner! Love that they have four mocktails and they aren’t all citrus-based. French onion was to die for! We got the special baked Brie and that was superb. Steaks were perfect. Can’t wait to try the happy hour mini beef wellingtons! Will be back much sooner than later. Our waiter, Chris, was also awesome!

Overall great food and ambiance. Service was a little slow. Food is very good but also rich and unique so with tapas style dining there was bound to be some flavors we didn't like but that doesn't necessarily mean anything was bad. This place always has delicious, well presented food and a location, ambiance and view that can't be beat.

The Buffalo Lasagna was excellent as usual. The Butternut Squash soup was a step above that. Even though it was Valentine's Day, the restaurant wasn't noisy and the service levels were top notch.
