   The sea bass was way too thin and dry. A complete disappointment. It’s different than before. No more pre dinner snacks at the lobby.

   I have been going to Lowry‘s since I was a child. It used to have such a classy refined feel to it.  the service and experience were what you were paying for. Not only did the service vary from rushed to none at all, it just felt like a tourist trap. Two of us ordered the prime rib, one of us ordered a steak. They completely forgot to deliver the steak for at least 10 minutes until we flagged people down, but trying to get somebody’s attention was almost impossible. Finally, our waitress was flying by And took notice, and the stake turned up while we were halfway through with our prime rib. There’s nothing refined to it anymore. You’re basically paying to watch somebody spin a salad, and cut prime rib off of a rolling cart. But it was rushed. There was no discussion about what was happening. I won’t ever go back. But at least I have memories of what it used to be.

   I don't do reviews. As a kid (I'm 64 now) growing up in Chicago we use to go to this restaurant as a special treat. Dress code was Jacket for men. A "fine" dinning experience. I've live in OC and for my wife's B-day we decided to remake a memory of our past and drive over an hour to Beverly Hills. We had reservations and were seated right away. Just looking around the room most people were dress Sunday causal. So much for the ambience. Let's get to food. I had the lobster bisque-with only a small spec of lobster and a few croutons. Fair at best. My wife had a glass of Silver Oak wine-$65-are you kidding me...I understand mark up but.....next was the spinning salad-salad in a bowl server spins the bowl while pouting in too much salad dressing...yum. Dinner is always prime rib-as the old days in Chicago that's what you go there for. Always good. The waiter was pleasant. I travel around 300k miles for my business a year and there are so many great meat restaurants with ambience worth the value. I'm sorry to say this because I have such fond memories of this restaurant history but for bill over $350 this one is off my list. Goodbye sorry to see you die......

   We always enjoy our visits to this great restaurant. One of the best in Southern California. One thing had changed, no little tiny dessert for our anniversary like in the past, must be a cutback because of the economy. No worries we will be back for sure!

   Lawry’s Beverly Hills was excellent. The food quality and preparation was consistent. The shrimp cocktail was delicious, but removing the tail shell was difficult. Eating with fingers was not good, so I cut the shrimp and ate it with a fork. The lobster bisque broth was tasty but there was very little lobster. I would not order this again. My companion had the spinning bowl salad and it was well prepared. The Chilean Sea Bass was wonderful. It should be added to the regular menu. My companion had the Lawry’s cut prime rib and the medium rare portion included a bone. The sides were adequate, creamed Spinach and mash potatoes were ok. My companion had a baked potato which looked and tasted good. The table service was excellent … prompt, accurate and attentive. My water glass was refilled multiple times without needing to ask. Overall a lovely evening. I’ve eaten at Lawry’s many times and was never disappointed.

   Our servers Tina and Justin were wonderful and very attentive! Our family and 9 year old son really appreciate how nice they were. Tina even encouraged our son to keep up the good work in school! We will be back just because of her!

    Hard to find our waiters when we need something which can be frustrating.
