Look forward to experiencing the authentic house-made gnocchi and risottos; or our signature dish, braised Ossobuco; our guests' ever favorite, Chicken Spedini; or a couple of the staff favorites, the Grilled Barramundi or Fabulous Veal Picatta. At Lorenzo's the atmosphere is classy and laid-back. It is the type of restaurant where you can have a nice business dinner or enjoy a meal with the family. We offer two beautiful private rooms, The Boardroom, which seats up to 14 or The Chefs Table which seats up to 8.

We had a group of 6 and the experience was wonderful. Our servers, Wendy and Emma, were excellent! They were attentive and joked around with us throughout the night. We had a nice private room in the back, so our group was able to enjoy the evening with some privacy. The food was delicious and the drinks were great! Overall, one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in many years!

This was the first time I have eaten at the Tenderloin Room. Typically we stay at another hotel closer to downtown that has another steakhouse located in it. The food was better here, and the service felt more personal. I would recommend the Tenderloin Room to anyone looking for a great steak and an enjoyable dining experience.
