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.

    Perhaps the best dinner I have had in my fifth-teen years in Los Angeles. Heirloom tomato to start, lubina with donostiarra sauce for the entree with a perfect sauce, tres leches for dessert. Looking at the menu, I was not excited about any item. By the end I was ecstatic about each of them.

    The food here was actually quite good, but the service was surprisingly disappointing. After placing our order, our server basically disappeared—we didn’t see her again for a long time. We waited nearly 30 minutes to get all of our dishes, only to find out one of the entrées was either forgotten or never relayed to the kitchen. Our hot chocolate never arrived at all, yet it was still included on the bill when we checked out. There was barely any service throughout the entire meal. The server only returned when it was time to pay, and even then, we had to ask twice just to get a to-go box. To make things worse, the restaurant offers a valet sticker for discounted parking, but she never mentioned it. We ended up having to make two trips to sort that out. Overall, the food doesn’t quite make up for the chaos and lack of attention. Definitely not the dining experience we expected.

    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
    San LaurelResponded on June 17, 2025
    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
