Diner Reviews
  • "I was expecting a different vibe when I walked in. The ambience is a bit dated. We sat and ordered drinks. The server was very helpful and attentive. Drinks came and we ordered our food. Food was awesome. (Try the hamburgers) Lerenzoes is expensive. So by a voucher try dampen the effect the bill will have kn your pocket book. 4 stars."

  • "We had the salmon appetizer and it was soooooo.good. It is a generous portion of tender, moist salmon served with a dill sauce in the side and some really nice, light chip/crackers....they are difficult to describe but they were a great accompaniment to the salmon. My husband had the shrimp and grits and I had the fish with panther train sauce and they were both absolutely delicious. I also had a margarita before dinner and a glass of house Chardonnay with my meal, all good."

  • "My friend and I split the steak and lobster, but when the plate was brought out, only the steak was cut in half. The creamed spinach was cold. The service was pleasant but not stellar. This was an average dinner."

  • "I ordered a medium rare steak. When it was brought to the table it was clearly rare. I asked the waiter to send it back and again ordered it medium rare. When it returned to the table, it was the same piece of steak that had been thrown BACK on the grill and covered. It looked like a burnt hockey puck on the outside and tasted like charcoal. It was terrible. It was a $50.00 steak. If I am going to pay that much, then at least cook me a new piece of meat, not ruin the first one you didn't get right. We will not be eating here again!"

  • "Made 6 PM reservations for a Saturday. Not necessary, but the restaurant did fill up before we left. Service was friendly, but somewhat forgetful. Waiter took a moment to explain Laurenzo's history and go over his menu favorites. Took our order for drinks, came back for our appetizer and dinner order. Salads came out a little while later, but no appetizer and after 20 minute wait, he informs us, he forgot to put dinner order in. Dinner order arrives a bit later than expected, nothing wrong with the food, except he forgot the appetizer. He made it up by bringing sample of appetizer and treating us to dessert. Not a bad experience, will try again."

  • "Went for dinner here on the basis of a friends recommendation. We tried several different dishes including the shrimp and grits, the red fish with shrimp and crab on top, the prime rib sandwich and they prime rib quesadilla. All dishes were excellent! I did feel that the prices were a little on the high side but several of us had leftovers to take home so the servings were quite large. Our waiter, Robert, was excellent and we did not feel rushed even though the restaurant was very busy and people were waiting. We will definitely return!"

  • "Beef filet is always perfect! Our favorite side dish is the fresh green peas--sweetly bursting with flavor. The asparagus is also a great one. Warm chocolate brownie is more like fudge--pushes it past the trite versions found at so many restaurants."

  • "We always enjoy our meals at Laurenzo's. The food is outstanding and the service is fantastic! The best creamed corn I have ever had! Try the prime rib blackened."

  • "This is my 3rd visit to Laurenzo's and as usual, the food and service were great. My only problem was a group behind us was incredibly LOUD. Ugh!"

  • "We went to Laurenzo's for Father's Day and it was perfect. Between the menu that was perfect for my husband and the sports decor, he was in heaven. The food was delicious and the service was great. It is also casual and has a relaxed feel (even though the restaurant is busy and active and a bit on the loud side)."

  • "We took my mother and my visiting step sister here for dinner. We love it because of the varied menu. While I usually like their filets, this time I went with the fish special, which was absolutely fabulous . My companion's ribs were dropping off the bone. Great service from Dallas , he was great Eric is another top notch waiter there. One of our favorite places."

  • "Things were just a little different this time from past trips. $2.50 to split a 3.99 salad????? Price of a dish we have gotten several times in the past went from 12.99 to 17.99(same dish?) Service was good as usual. Maybe trying to make up for all the groupons?"

  • "This was our first visit to Laurenzo's, and we were very impressed. The service was impeccable...attentive and helpful, without being intrusive. Great recommendations for food choices... Our table had a variety of dishes, and all were excellent. Nice wine selection, and the wine we chose was very good. I personally had the shrimp & grits with lump crab meat....yummy ! We will definitely return...great place for a special occasion !"

  • "We went to celebrate our daughter's high school graduation. There were six in our party, and Ron was our waiter. The service was excellent, and the food was great. We knew the food was great, but the last time my husband and I had been here, the service was spotty. This definitely renewed my faith in Laurenzo's, and we'll definitely be back!"

  • "Given the price, I was expecting more. The waitress was nice, but very distracted. She took my order and then forgot and had to come back to ask me a second time. The calamari was ok, but nothing special. Followed with a Caesar salad which had far too much dressing. The prime rib was just right and the flavor was spot on. That being said, I don't think it was worth $50. The mac and cheese side was ok, but again it was not as good as I would expect for the price I paid. Overall, this place was good, but I don't see myself going back for the overpriced prime rib, which is supposedly the signature dish."

  • "Totally exceeded our expectations. Time was perfect and nice menu selection. "

  • "This is a nice neighborhood place in the middle of an area known of nightclubbing. Great ambience, though a bit more of a sports bar with a lot of memorabilia than it is a fine dining establishment. The prime rib is featured, but the seafood is good, too. We had the smoked salmon, more than enough to share for an appetizer. Excellent flavor. Entrees were the sesame crusted seared tuna and prime rib. Both were excellent. Waiter was a bit indifferent, not particularly understanding we wanted to take our time, both ordering and eating. Typical Houston mentality to herd you in and out, but the typical crowd dressed in shorts did not mind. We did enjoy ourselves. Only real downside is the cost. Prime rib is $36 and the tuna was $35. "

  • "Loved being able to keep up with several sports events without the loud noise. Our college student sons wondered why we haven't brought them here before. They really enjoyed it."
    Dined on 6/1/2014
  • "Casual, sloppy service and pricey if you order steak. Would work for a cheap burger, but a bill of $250 for 4 was too much to pay for what we got. Our plates didn't fit on the table, the server didn't remove empty bottles and glasses, and he brought and charged us for a side we didn't order."

  • "The place is well decorated and smells of delicious hardwoods and grilled steaks. The staff are professional, friendly, and attentive. Our server, Robert, took good care of us and took the time to explain the menu and entertain our questions. The dish he recommended, blackened prime rib, was excellent and was definitely a tasty alternative to the traditional medium-rare way the steak is usually served. The creamed corn was some of the best I have tried. Laurenzo's has a great wine and beer selection as well. "

  • "We had a fair experience this week at Laurenzo's. We were given two different menus that had slightly different prices. Our waiter would not honor the price difference. This was $1.49 difference on a $60 meal. On our way out, the manager was very nice and went beyond our expectations to resolve the issue. My prime rib was medium rare to rare instead of medium. The prices are very expensive for what you get. The spinach artichoke dip was the best we have ever had but at $14.99 it was not a good value. They don't even give you bread. I would not dine here without some sort of coupon."
