    Dining Experience: I visited Lawry's The Prime Rib with my parents on the evening of the 28th at 4 PM. This review reflects my personal impressions of the meal and service. Reservation Deposit ($25 per person): A $25 deposit per person is required when making a reservation, but it’s applied directly to the final bill, which feels fair and ensures a secure booking. Salad Service ($0): The salad service was complimentary, but it came with a unique presentation, much like a small performance. It reminded me of the noodle-pulling show at Hai Di Lao, adding a touch of fun to the meal. Lobster Bisque ($15): The lobster bisque was elegantly presented. The soup was poured from a small pot into a bowl that already held fresh lobster meat. The flavor was rich, and dipping the pre-dinner bread into it was a delightful touch. Lawry Cut Classic Medium-Rare ($66): The 10-ounce classic Lawry cut steak, cooked medium-rare, was incredibly tender and juicy. The portion size was generous, making it perfect for sharing among three people. The mashed potatoes served on the side had a traditional and comforting taste. Lobster Trio ($65): The three lobster tails were exceptionally fresh, with tender and firm meat. A squeeze of lemon enhanced the flavor beautifully. The server highly recommended pairing it with melted butter, and it truly elevated the dish. Creamed Spinach ($9): The creamed spinach was average in taste. It’s worth trying, but it didn’t stand out. Creamed Corn ($9): This dish was sweet, flavorful, and satisfying. Every bite was rich and indulgent—definitely a must-try! English Trifle ($12): The English trifle left a strong first impression with its vibrant flavors, though it leaned on the sweeter side, which might be a bit overwhelming for those who prefer less sugary desserts. Conclusion: Lawry's The Prime Rib is an excellent upscale dining choice that offers high-quality food at reasonable prices. From the attentive service to the flavorful dishes, it’s a great o

    Very great experience dining here! I usually come here when it’s super packed but luckily the day I went (and the time) it was not packed at all. With it being less busy, the ambiance was nice and quiet. I was able to hear my conversations. The food was amazing!! The Sweet Corn Agnolotti was very good but lacked a sufficient amount for how much the dish is. The Spicy Pomodoro was amazing!! One of my favorites here and for the amount of pasta it has, it is worth your money. I was not expecting to like the Banana Tiramisu but I enjoyed it so much! I wish I got two but I ended up getting so full haha. Overall 9/10 experience!

    This app is a great idea in theory but it didn’t help my wait time in the least bit. I made my reservation early in the morning for a 5pm dinner. When I arrived they already had my name down and said it would only be a 5-10 min wait. Awesome. But then 10 min came and went a few times over. I ended up waiting over and hour and twenty minutes to be seated. Loved the food and service. Definitely won’t be using the app again. Too much false hope lol
