| - The first thing that attracts me to Lawry's is the fact that it is located off The Strip. It is close enough that you can still enjoy but far enough away to avoid the manics.
Another thing to take note is that if you're a turf fan, you will love Lawry's. If you're more to the surf, well your choices are limited to a couple different types of seafood (lobster and fish of the day) and perhaps a couple of different appetizers. It is called "The Prime Rib" after all and not the "Chicken of the Sea". Me, being a red meat carnivore, I've always gone with the beef.
The meat choices are a bit limited too but the choices that they have, they cook to perfection. When I've dined here, I usually went with the rib-eye with a cabernet sauce and served with au gratin potatoes and crispy fried onions on top. Perhaps not the best steak I've ever but IMO, it ranks right up there.
The start of every meal begins with their spinning salad. Of course, it is a bit of a show but isn't that what Vegas is all about? Ok, they do that at all Lawry's so I can't blame Vegas for that. So basically the salad is prepared at your table, spun over a bowl of ice to get the salad chilled, tossed with the dressing and served. I like the fact that it cools the salad down nicely because no one wants a warm salad. The salad is presented on a chilled plate and a cold fork is provided. Me, not being a beet lover didn't realize that was included in the salad and I really wasn't a fan. I learned my lesson for subsequent visits.
A MUST is to order a side dish of their mushrooms to go with your steak. A variety of mushrooms sauteed in garlic butter and fresh herbs. That could be a meal in itself however joining the flavor of the mushrooms with a bite of steak is out of this world.
No meal would be complete without the cheesecake. Their cheesecake is served with fresh berries and a raspberry liqueur sauce .Honestly, there really is nothing special about Lawry's cheesecake but it's a nice way to get that sweet tooth craving taken care of after eating salt throughout my meal.
While the wine selection isn't massive, they do offer a decent selection from whites to reds so chances are you will be able to find something to your liking.
The decor of the restaurant leans towards the upscale side of the scale however there isn't that pretentious feel as you walk through the doors. The dress is business casual but I've seen anything from VERY casual to formal walking through the doors. Either way, they make you feel at home, regardless of your attire.
The service is what you'd expect......excellent!! You will continuously experience someone stopping by your table to see if there is anything you need, refilling your glass or folding your napkin as you excuse yourself to the restroom. Sometimes I just like to make several trips to the restroom to see how many times they will refold my napkin. Ok, I haven't done that, but I've thought of it. Point being, service is out of this world and there is the appearance that they actually enjoy you being there and that they are not just doing their job.
With all that said, Lawry's is on the pricey side. $85-100 per person is not to be unexpected including meal, drinks and gratuity.
Nope, not a frequent visitor of Lawry's, but when I have visited, they've always delivered without cutting any corners. For a treat, it's a place you can't go wrong.
