    The food was really outstanding, and the service was very, very good. The room is noisy and it was made worse by some of the music choices and the volume of the music. The lighting at night time is not ideal for a restaurant offering this quality of food. It would be nicer to enjoy the food and the service in an environment where you don't have to yell at each other. The acoustics of the room is difficult, so maybe it would be wise to tone things down a little bit.

    We visited the San Laurel for the Thanksgiving experience. We were so pleased they could accommodate our 24 hour notice. Our table was outside on the 10th floor with a gorgeous view of the city lights and neighboring Disney Concert Hall. They provided blankets and a heat lamp to add to the cozy ambiance! The service was impeccable and food and wine pairings were spot on. Each course was a delight to our taste buds. Would highly recommend this restaurant .

    Absolutely fantastic. It was a thanksgiving pre fixe which in past experiences in other restaurants has always been mediocre. This was not the case. Everything was perfect including the wine pairing. Initially, we were bummed it wasn’t the normal menu since we had never dined here before but my fiance and I both agreed we were happy it ended up the way it did. 10/10. Staff were excellent and attentive. They read all the queues perfectly and showcased lots of knowledge in all categories. Go here. You will not be disappointed.

    Came here to celebrate my own Thanksgiving Day and was super impressed by this place and the experience! The views were spectacular and the food was top notch! My favorites were the grilled octopus, the turkey, as well as the mashed potatoes! The desserts were super good too! Service is nice, friendly, and helpful. Very professional! The only downside is that the restroom is a little filthy and no guarantee for window seating. Great for all formal and special occasions! Highly recommended!

    We were very pleased with the delicious meal we made from several small plates/appetizers, which were all perfectly prepared and nicely presented. Among the stars were the meatballs, macaroni and cheese and Brussels sprouts. But do not leave without trying the Cracked Potatoes, little chunks that are pillowy soft on the inside and crispy on the outside, with something that added an addictive umami kick. We also found cocktails and wine that perfectly complemented our diverse assortment of dishes.
