About this restaurant

  • Great for fine wines
  • Great for scenic views
  • Great for brunch
San Laurel, from Michelin-starred chef José Andrés at the Conrad Los Angeles, builds a culinary bridge between the Iberian Peninsula and Southern California. Using the freshest sustainable produce from local farmers' markets in Los Angeles, our cuisine marries bold, beautiful Spanish flavors with the bounty of the Golden State. Named for the aromatic bay laurel, itself a transplant from the Mediterranean to coastal California, San Laurel's inspiration stretches from Spain to the glimmering shores of the Pacific.

    This is my second time having brunch at San Laurel and it was just as wonderful as the first. Beautiful setting in the balcony with an unobstructed view of Disney Hall. Service is impeccable as is the creativity of the food. I had to order the El Camino again, a deconstructed omelette with caviar, labneh, and edible flowers. This visit I also ordered a side of the Yucatán turkey sausage. Be prepared, it is two large grilled sausages! I took one home for dinner. This is a perfect dining spot if you’re heading to the Music Center, Disney Hall, or The Broad.

    Great service but I had high expectations for this restaurant. The wagyu steak was really dry. The lamb was good and so were the scallops but nothing impressive

    Hello Maria, Thank you for your valuable feedback. We’re pleased to hear that our service met your expectations. However, I regret that the Wagyu steak did not meet the mark. I will be sure to share your comments with our culinary team for further review. I’m glad to know you enjoyed the lamb and scallops, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the near future. Warm regards, Management Team - San Laurel

    Our experience at San Laurel was once again absolutely wonderful! Our server, Johnny C, was the most awesome server. Although the restaurant was busy, he was most attentive, personable and accommodating. He constantly checked with us to make sure we were happy and had everything we needed. Our food was also exceptional. We spit the pancakes as a breakfast appetizer and then had the eggs with sausage and potatoes and the Greek yogurt with granola and fruit. Our table had a beautiful view overlooking the concert hall and was most comfortable. We enjoyed meeting our hostess, Madeline who was so outgoing and made wonderful menu suggestions for us. She also checked back with us just to make sure we loved everything, which we did! We can’t wait to return!

    Exceptional cuisine, service, and hospitality in a beautiful dining room! You cant go wrong with the crudo dishes or the lump crab fritters. As a main course, I loved the grilled Lubina. It was a beautiful dish, and as delicious as it looked. Service was friendly, attentive and knowledgable. I really enjoyed my visit to San Laurel and look forward to returning as soon as possible.

    Happy to pay full price for fantastic food and service. One of the best in LA 10th floor patio views Disney Hall but can be very sunny in the early evening.
