If you are staying at the hotel, definitely eat at Laurel. The outside setting is beautiful the cocktails are delicious and we really enjoyed the charcuterie board. We also had octopus that was really good, salmon, shrimp scampi, and the duck. I thought everything was a little too expensive but that’s just me. A $25 glass of wine that was yummy but was still $25.
