Lawry's The Prime Rib

Set on the top floor of a swish shopping mall, the high quality fittings, bright lights and constant buzz of conversation at Lawry’s make for a sophisticated and relaxed family-friendly atmosphere. The restaurant’s philosophy of providing wholesome fare using innovative service and premium ingredients is a formula that was established by the founder in Beverly Hills in the 1930s. The concept travels well. Diners can enjoy a modern culinary experience with old-fashioned flourishes that make a meal a visual as well as a culinary delight. Speciality prime rib is transported to your table on spectacular stainless steel trolleys. Waiters, resplendent in white and sporting a gold medal on a red ribbon, cut generous portions off the bone. The meat is consistently tender and sweet. Each cut is served with mashed potato, Yorkshire pudding and a salad entertainingly spun on a bed of ice as you watch. Delicious alternatives are available such as juicy grilled rack of lamb. Fish lovers are not forgotten and either fresh Atlantic lobster tail, — served as a starter or a main dish, — or a zesty crabmeat au gratin provides succulent diversions from the main event.An excellent wine list is available but the house label varietals, both red and white, are surprisingly good and complement the food very well.Staff are clearly well trained and take pride in serving customers courteously and with palpable enthusiasm.
