    the service was non existent. There appeared to be one waitress for the entire rest. Ordering was impossible. The food was less than mediocre. I ordered the branzino which I was told would be deboned. There had been a sloppy gesture at deboning which made it like navigating a minefield. Could not locate the waitress to get the check until my friend literally got up from the table to go find her. It was stressful and not the experience that we expected to have in the lobby of The Talbot Hotel.

    Honestly, we didn't stay to try the food. Despite a reservation, we arrived to no host, a bartender who waved us in then proceeded to continue reading a card, and finally a waiter who reported that breakfast would only be served for another 10 minutes. What, no brunch on Saturday? We did not feel welcome, and given the prices, we didn't stay.

    I came here for breakfast with my friend and it was nice! The food was good but unfortunately did come out a bit cold. The service was really nice though and I enjoyed the location since it was in walking distance of some good shops. My favorite part about this place is that the give you post cards with your bill, to write a note and send to someone. Overall it was a good experience.

    Met a friend after work for a post birthday celebration….neither of us had ever been to Laurel. Very glad we went ! The drinks were great… crafted by a fabulous bartender, Christopher !! He was super friendly and very welcoming, realizing we had never been. We had an appetizer snack which was a mix of hummus and olives and cheese with some pita and crostini… delicious ! The desert however was amazing!! Olive oil cake with a pistachio topping… and pistachio gelato ! I’m still thinking about both ! The manager Christian, also very nice ! Can’t wait to go back in the summer as Christopher told us they have 80 outdoor seats ! Will definitely become a new regular spot !
