| - I'm a big fan of the Lawry's tradition. The prime rib is great and service is usually consistent as well. This is your classic steakhouse with all the reliable rituals: juicy slabs of beef, au jus, yorkshire pudding, creamed spinach, mashed potatoes, baked potato, etc. You can't go wrong with much of anything on the menu. All satisfying and delicious. Their creamed spinach is especially addicting. Dining at Lawry's is a complete experience. The decor and uniforms, the rolling cart of beef, your carver's medallion, the presentation of the spinning salad are all assembled and choreographed for a reason. They've been doing this for 75 years and are preserving history and tradition.
Disappointments: I want to give 5 stars, but the last few times we visited, I have seen more patrons dressed in sweats, dumpy t-shirts and raggedy jeans. I felt like I was eating at a food court or cafeteria. Eating here is not cheap and there's that whole classic/custom/tradition thing. You don't have to be in formal wear, but at least try something that is laundered. And sometimes the staff at the hostess stand seem more flighty and disorganized than necessary.
Otherwise, mmm, beeef.
