Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews

Laurea offers a "fabulous experience" with great service and delightful ambiance. The restaurant is praised for its "beautiful" setting and excellent pasta dishes, while the charcuterie board and knife-and-fork Caesar salad are highly recommended. Despite being located in a hotel, the "attentive" staff and "great food" make it a worthwhile visit.

We have.been there several times. Never had a buffet. It was Valentine's Day and we had an average buffet for $109 per person. This should have been brought up when we reserved. We had multiple emails to be sure we would be there. If I knew it was a buffet I would not have gone!

Michael the Maitre’D and our server were wonderful. Attentive to the groups experience. Drinks and food all were very good. With one exception, the veal saltimboca was lacking. Nice time for daughter’s birthday overall.

While waiting for our comedy show, I grabbed a bar seat and a cocktail. The bartender was attentive, engaging and professional. Decided to skip the table and eat at the bar. The food was surprisingly very good. I recommend their 'knife and fork' fresh ceasar salad. Individual pizza is fresh, can definitely be shared. Thank you for an enjoyable evening in a hotel restaurant.

This restaurant is in the middle of the lobby of a hotel. As in the seats are in the lobby. The food was ok. Reviews were great but perhaps that’s for a hotel restaurant.
