    Our first visit to this iconic restaurant was excellent. We loved the Rocket Salad starter and were blown away by our main course, the sautéd mac nut and herb crusted fresh fish (Halibut) - delicious! Our server, Ally, was fabulous. For dessert, she recommended the Hula Pie - holy moly that was amazing! We visited on a weekday night at 6pm in mid-Nov and the place was not crowded at all. We self-parked but were still charged $10, the only disappointment of the evening.

    Lawry’s Beverly Hills was excellent. The food quality and preparation was consistent. The shrimp cocktail was delicious, but removing the tail shell was difficult. Eating with fingers was not good, so I cut the shrimp and ate it with a fork. The lobster bisque broth was tasty but there was very little lobster. I would not order this again. My companion had the spinning bowl salad and it was well prepared. The Chilean Sea Bass was wonderful. It should be added to the regular menu. My companion had the Lawry’s cut prime rib and the medium rare portion included a bone. The sides were adequate, creamed Spinach and mash potatoes were ok. My companion had a baked potato which looked and tasted good. The table service was excellent … prompt, accurate and attentive. My water glass was refilled multiple times without needing to ask. Overall a lovely evening. I’ve eaten at Lawry’s many times and was never disappointed.

    Celebrated our 7 year anniversary and the hostess seated us right by the olive tree. It was a magical night with even a candle on top of our banana tiramisu bread pudding - wow. Thank you for being part of our special day :)
