Could be that Lawrence Restaurant suffered by comparison with our previous night's meal at Bouillon Bilk, but I'd give Lawrence a 3.5.
When we arrived -- an early reservation, admittedly -- the place was totally empty. And it had a downscale look -- mismatched furniture, etc. It made an unnerving impression.
Everything we ordered was tasty -- duck, lamb, scallops, gnocci with sea urchin, calamari, herring. However, none of them were home runs (with the exception of the fried potatoes with the lamb, which were great). The lamb was difficult to cut; the duck was good, but lacked a certain something; none of it looked especially attractive on the plate.
Overall, I'd say the place's ambitions are not fully matched by its capabilities, which would be fine if it were a bit less expensive. As it is, I rate it, as I said above, at 3.5.
