| - Mmmm, so very good....
It's a beautiful restaurant, with a quaint 1950's glamor and style to it. There is a complimentary valet parking, and there's a waiting room was plush with beautiful and immaculate furniture. The host was very nice, and we were seating almost immediately.
The table was just the right size for our party of 6. The waitress was a mature lady, dressed nicely, and was to be addressed as Mrs. Tremble, as she informed us. She was very explanatory in all the aspects of their unique restaurant, and kindly offered us our drinks after a brief pause, giving us just enough time to consider what to order.
The service was very prompt, and the drinks were served nicely in beautiful glassware. At some restaurants, the service sort of deteriorates if we don't order such things as appetizers, but Mrs. Tremble was gracious in everything we ordered and everything we didn't.
They started first with their famous spinning salad. It was nothing short of stunning, and it was worth coming for just that. Next they served the prime rib, sliced fresh at the table. My cut was served perfectly at medium rare, and I had an order of the creamed spinach, which in my opinion wasn't quite as creamed as I'd have liked, but still really good. The mashed potatoes were delicious, but not the best I've ever had. The centerpiece here is clearly the prime rib, and here it did not disappoint.
The occasion was my brother's graduation from high school, and when the reservation was made, they asked immediately what the occasion was. And after the meal was over, my brother was given a complimentary dessert, with "Congratulations" on the plate.
I'd highly recommend Lawry's for any special occasion, though it might be a little bit pricey to go without an occasion. Give it a shot, but expect to pay a little under $50 a person.
