The Laurel

“We’ve made a point to have dinner here the last two times we overnighted in La Grande. We’ll likely end up here every time. The food is fab and we love that it’s a rotating seasonal menu. Both times we sat at the bar and enjoyed our conversation with the bartender.”

“Wow! Honestly while looking at reviews I wanted to come here only for the drinks... However the staff and the food is what made this place great! Boutique hotel with a cute charming restaurant. I was in town for 5 days and they were only open on our last night, so glad we decided to do dinner here. Get the pasta, steak bites and the bread & butter, the herb butter... Wow. Thank you Megan and Lu for the great drinks and quick service”

“Beautiful setting and delicious food! They offered all their cocktails as mocktails, which were beautiful and yummy! Only downside was that they didn’t have very many filling vegan options and the menu wasn’t super clearly marked with what was dairy free (although they did note gluten free).”

“Some of the dishes were a bit off. The soup was fantastic, drinks were good, but the mains seemed a bit off on all three things we got. Pasta wasn't bad, but it was stuck together and not enough sauce to help separate it. One dish had too much salt, maybe someone split some into the dish. The third one needed spices as it was bland. They were presented very well though. The dessert was good, but maybe a touch too long on the touch for the creambule. Carmel was burnt a bit, not bad but”

“Staff and atmosphere are pleasant. We had $9 old fashions during happy hour and the bacon wrapped dates. Neither disappointed. We were not impressed with the remainder of the dinner items. A bit over priced for food that is not meeting the elevated price tag. All the best to this restaurant but do not think we'll be back for family dinner.”
