Everything about this place was amazing!!! I cannot wait to go back
The service was excellent. My party and I sat outside during Covid and there was adequate spacing and arrangements made during this time.
We received exceptional customer service and our food, along with the drinks, were curated and served to perfection.
Low key spot to get faded with friends you trust.
It was delicious, service was great. That butternut squash drink was divine!!!!
Overall average experience, but an outstanding burger!
Excellent service and a great meal. The cocktails were Devine!
Love the Lady Lawrence and the service is always great!
The food at the Lawrence is always delicious even though the first offering of mac & cheese was served cold. The biggest improvement needed is an update of the upholstered seating. The “leather” on the booth seating is severely tattered and worn....not a good look at all. Also, during busier times/hours...the restrooms should be tended to more frequently.
Love the music but it was a little too loud to carry on a conversation.
We had 6:30 reservation for six. sat down immediately, cool. Ordered drinks, Came quickly. Took our order at 7:15 for starters and entree. Things are looking good. Didn’t get our starters until 8:15. Then out entrees at 8:30. And then they rushed us out of the restaurant. Literally my friend wasn’t done with his plate and they took it when he wasn’t looking. Nothing was said about the long wait. Food was delicious and to be quit frank, it had better been. We left at 9:15. Happy birthday to my wife!!! She picked this restaurant for her birthday and then felt bad because the guest were upset it took so long. Fortunately she is a champ, and handles business better than this restaurant. Note to the restaurant, don’t start off the interaction with a group on how busy you have been and how much food you Don’t have. Try to build relationship first. Start positive. I understand they were tired from being slam all weekend, I don’t want to hear excuses.
Delicious food! Muscles & mushroom bread were amazing. I had the airline chicken with a side of Brussel sprouts. Both were extraordinary, full of flavors and unexpected tastes. Will go back!
Great cocktails and starter plates. Music was also very good.
An amazing time overall! Great food, great drinks, service was incredible. Thank you!
Great drinks, cool vibe, a bit too loud for good conversation
The Lawrence never disappoints. They have adapted well to current conditions.
I love the Lawrence. I'm not giving it five stars today because when I visited last the fire alarm went off the entire time. The wait staff continued to apologize and even brought complimentary drinks. Firemen were in and out of the restaurant the entire evening. The food is great. The drinks are fun. Normally this place is my favorite date night spot but this time it was noisy and chaotic.
We are so sorry that your experience was this chaotic on your night dining with us. We are actually attached to the condos above us and this was a problem related to something happening upstairs. We tried to keep things in line as much as we could be sometimes we are at the mercy of the building we are attached to. We hope that this doesn't keep you from coming back since it's not the first time you've dined with us.
Wait staff amazing, bartender personally came around and made us unique drinks!
It was okay. Nothing special and nothing horrible.
Our server, Castile was amazing. He knew we were celebrating Valentine’s Day and he made sure to make it special. The Lawrence is lucky to have such a great server.
Castillo was a wonderful server. He made our our experience very pleasurable.
We chose this spot for Galentine’s Day. The food was great and the drinks were excellent! However, the service was a little spotty. We would definitely go back to try it again though.
Very lovely. Great food, friendly staff, and thoughtfully crafted cocktails in a cozy environment. Good for dates and friends alike.
I love the Lawerence . Food was delectable. The menu is seasonal, so I would call to make sure the menu is either updated on line or on open table.
The mixologist made me a delicious mocktail and it was not something that taste like lemonade or soda... I was pleasantly shocked. Delicious food, great music, awesome staff even the host showed how personal this restaurant is.
It was our first time, and we will be back. Our food was good. Lemon pepper pinata wings for an appetizer was delicious. The shrimp scampi was good and flavorful. I tried the oxtails over pastor. Flavor was good, but the need to be more meat and less fat. It was a comforting taste, like chicken soup. Only thing I do not like is the selection of riesling and the parking is awful.
Sadly, I cannot recommend this place. The drinks were amazing, our waitress was great and the music playlist was good but the food was not on that same level. I would maybe come back just for the bar but not for the food.
I’m really sad. The Lawrence is our neighborhood place since many many years and we try to support them throughout the Pandemic. Which this experience makes it hard. The food was really bad. The, in the past awesome burger was worse than fast food chain burger. The salmon we had was small, just thrown on the plate without any love. And unfortunately without any taste. I wish The Lawrence the best, but to help you stay open you guys need to help yourself in preparing food that’s a bit better than my cooking at home.
Atmosphere was great, food drinks were awesome! Celebrated our 1st anniversary there and the staff went above and beyond to make it perfect.
The open outside area didn’t have any heat lamps, which would have been nice. The patio area with heat lamps is fully enclosed, which defeats the purpose of sitting outside during a pandemic.
The wine list could also have a few more choices.
A great neighborhood gem in Midtown Atlanta. Consistent high-quality food and cocktails with both indoor and outdoor dining.
Great food. Great service. Will go back for sure.
The food was amazing and the service as well
We loved this restaurant. The service was outstanding and the food delicious. My son and I both had steak which was very tasty. They have a very good bar and knowledgeable bartenders.
I highly recommend, we really enjoyed it.
Came here for a friend's birthday and it was nice that it wasn't too cold outside in December. We were able to sit safely outside on the patio (they had some seating inside and under a tent as well) and the service was great. The ambience was also very nice with colorful lights. The server was able to recommend a wonderful drink for me and the bolognese was amazing. We finished the night off with a delicious tiramisu! Overall, I felt like the Lawrence took pretty good COVID precautions (even requiring hand sanitizer before being seated), had great service, and amazing food.
Date with my wife. It was fabulous.
The chef at The Lawrence is phenomenal. Every time I go, I am never disappointed. The pasta is delicious, full of flavor and leaves me wanting more. I always wish that I wouldn’t eat it all so that I could take leftovers home for the next day! Best place in Atlanta for pasta. The outside dining area is just perfect. The Lawrence feels nestled in a cozy spot with beautiful trees, hanging lights and a gorgeous view of midtown. Great date night spot!
One of my favorite restaurants in Atlanta and my previous visit was a reminder of that. The food was amazing. Our server, Ashley, made the experience even more superb. In addition to the food & service, the ambiance was amazing as always. Can’t wait to return.
Great food, service, and ambiance. Will definitely be returning.
Awesome vibe! Amazing craft cocktails and fabulous food. Had the Lady Lawrence, oysters, steak tartare and the burger. All wonderful !
Ambience was nice, steak was really tough and we had medium rare and medium well.
