    Lawry’s Beverly Hills was excellent. The food quality and preparation was consistent. The shrimp cocktail was delicious, but removing the tail shell was difficult. Eating with fingers was not good, so I cut the shrimp and ate it with a fork. The lobster bisque broth was tasty but there was very little lobster. I would not order this again. My companion had the spinning bowl salad and it was well prepared. The Chilean Sea Bass was wonderful. It should be added to the regular menu. My companion had the Lawry’s cut prime rib and the medium rare portion included a bone. The sides were adequate, creamed Spinach and mash potatoes were ok. My companion had a baked potato which looked and tasted good. The table service was excellent … prompt, accurate and attentive. My water glass was refilled multiple times without needing to ask. Overall a lovely evening. I’ve eaten at Lawry’s many times and was never disappointed.

    Everything we ordered was excellent. Had the crab cakes, calamari, hamburger, and the pear Marguerita. Crab cakes (3) were small but super delicious; calamari was perfection, especially when dipped in the aioli that came with it. And, the burger was absolutely the best, with a huge delicious and juicy hunk of a meat “pattie”. The food came fast and was hot and fresh. Oh, and the bread, served warm and gratis, was delightfully awesome. Overall an excellent experience.

    I had breakfast here for the first time to celebrate my friend’s birthday and it was such a sweet experience. The staff gave us mimosas and surprised us with a chocolate cake on the house. The coffee and food was great.
