It was a nece looking restaurant. The only thing the weather was not great. Due to rainy weather there was no view of the downtown skyline. Recommend not to go on rainy day to much fog.

We went for our wedding anniversary and it was everything I expected service wise! Unfortunately we didn’t get the views because Mother Nature wasn’t on our side 😭 but we still loved it! Amazing service and compliments to the chef! Drinks were good too 👌🏼. Most definitely worth the price!

At breakfast I had the best congee I ever had in the United States at San Laurel. The ingredients were spectacular. Home made dried pork hash was made from jamon iberico and their XO sauce was also homemade by the chef. I shall order congee for breakfast every time I stay at Conrad Downtown LA.
