lawry’s is a place you go for a nice evening out. we usually frequent the las vegas location, and it is a quiet restaurant, very romantic, and also not that cheap.
we went to the beverly hills location the day before valentine’s day. the place was…well, a zoo. people were everywhere, and there was wall to wall people. apparentlylawry’shired a photographer to take “souvenir” photos and they had a table set up, literally blocking the front entrance. i have no idea when these people took pictures, as i was there for 2 hours and never saw a photographer.
we arrived at 7:20 for our 7:30 reservations. while we waited, we found a room that had meatballs and potato chips to munch on as a snack, which was a nice touch. for a place that will be charging $125 + per couple for dinner, there were a lot of kids on valentine’s day weekend, as well as a lot of people dressed like they just rolled out of bed, with shorts, flip flops, t shirts, sweat pants… what the hell?! i thought there was a dress code? don’t say “oh, that’s la people” because i am a southern california native, born and raised. its called manners and upbringing, and some of these people don’t get that you dress up when going out to a nice place.
