   It may not be my taste so I can't really give it a higher rating. All the dishes were extremely small, so that two people spent more than $300, just like eating an appetizer

   We had theatre tickets which we told the hostess and server. Even with a reservation had to wait 15 minutes for a table. Waitress was not watching the time on serving us and we barely made it to the theatre on time.

   Great experience in every way. Went for lunch and had the prix fixed tasting menu. Great way to sample the menu and priced fairly. Small portions but enough food. Sea bass and fried chicken were outstanding. Loved the multi chocolate mousse dessert. Outstanding service and an outstanding view of the city. Worth the price.

   Third time at San Laurel, and the same excellence: food, service, atmosphere. We dined on appetizers, all creative and delicious: acorn squash, asparagus with romesco, pan con tomate, “mac ‘n cheese”. Two lovely Spanish whites. Johnny is a superb waiter, with his equally fine assistant, Miguel. Many thanks!

   Had a reservation, was there on time, was made to wait 15 minutes. Waiter told us our order was going to take 35 minutes when we got our order it was the wrong order, and we had to wait another 20 minutes. The macaroni and mushroom side orders, pretty bland and the cheesecake for dessert around $20 something with an additive of a truffle honey for another $30. So this is a $50 dessert, it was bland and the honey just tastes like regular old honey. The meal was over $400 and just did not have the value we expected. Very disappointing.

   The service was fair, but I didn’t think there was enough food choices and portion sizes were quite small too. Cocktails didn’t hit the spot either and we never even repeated them.

   This is not only a masterpiece from José, but may be the best restaurant in town, bar none. Will try to return often. Too good to miss

    We ate outside, 10 stories up and right across the street from Disney Hall with its magnificent spirals. This restaurant is in the Grande Hotel. Great location for the many music and other venues downtown. They could use more decor on the patio, which looks like someone bought a small apartment without enough room so you put all the extra stuff outside on the balcony. Lovely small menu. Great place to go before the Disney or Music Center. Food is well prepared and tasty.
