The Lawrence Restaurant + Events

First time at the Lawrence and I’m so excited for a new chef owned restaurant in the area. Food was great, very fresh and light. We left feeling pleasantly full without feeling overly stuffed or heavy. Our server was awesome, very attentive and kind. The menu has many options for GF as well as mocktails. We can’t wait to come back and keep sampling the menu

First, the atmosphere of the restaurant is very classy. It looks like an expensive restaurant. The price is reasonable and the service is great. I ordered the baby back ribs with crispy Brussels sprouts. I liked the ribs but the Brussels sprouts they burn it to the max that is very impossible to eat. They said it is supposed to be crispy but I said crispy but all the way burnt, very bitter. Good thing they replace it with broccolini for free. The shrimp with grits is good especially the sauce that they put in it. It has scent of Asian flavor. The scallops with veges is good too. Overall, the experience is great and service is great!

Excellent atmosphere, so cozy. The service is amazing and the food awesome. Only one thing to say is that the kitchen brings out all the plates at the same time and the onion soup it wasn’t warmed enough. The crème brûlée is the best!!

Very disappointing experience. We ordered 2 appetizers, 2 entrees, and a dessert. Everything was generally underseasoned, especially the steak frites - basically zero salt on the steak topped with an extremely overwhelming garlic butter, which completely blocked the flavor of the meat. Although the fries were crispy, they were also under seasoned. I felt that they are trying hard to impress with the presentation and unusual twists on classics, but the flavors don’t mix very well together, or work in interesting ways. Some dishes were creative but tasted very strange: an example was the paella-like seafood dish (no rice). The dill and bell peppers did not play well with the subtle flavor of the saffron puree. The dessert was a decent chocolate torte. We didn’t think the food was worth the p

If you want to feel fancy over drinks, this is the place. If you want to eat food you’ll actually enjoy, go elsewhere. Everything on the menu sounds appetizing, but what gets served to you isn’t what you think. For example the hummus is actually just (overly) charred Brussel Sprouts with a smear of hummus across the platter that isn’t enough to share. Each dish was underseasoned and underwhelming. Also, our trip came with the added excitement of every single item being served to us cold. The meatballs, crab fritters, brussel sprout hummus plate, and even the $6 Parker House rolls. Stone cold. The rolls seemed to be made in advance and had already started to get stale. Adding in that they don’t serve lunch on Sundays - but fail to advertise that anywhere - this experience was not at all w
