It's impossible to not love Lawry's. It's my husband and I's go-to 'occasion' restaurant.
Classy but not stuffy and the Art Deco is reminiscent of the Empire State Building.
Service is on-point. Bread baskets, spinning bowl salad (with the best croutons) and shrimp cocktail are great starters. Table-side carving of prime rib and sides are always perfect. I get the California or English cut, smaller cuts but still enough for me to bring home leftovers.
Only complaint is that after coming here year-after-year for a decade, we've watched the prices creep up to vegas strip-status. When prices are resort-level highs, you lose some of the authenticity which I hate seeing with Lawry's.
