    We went for brunch and the French toast was the best I have ever had! Our server was fantastic, she was very personable and professional. We sat in the gazebo outside and had a great view of the pond. We are looking forward to coming back for dinner!

    We had eaten at the Laurel for Easter and were wowed by the flavors and combinations Ashley wove into her food. Last night was our second visit and Ashley did not disappoint! We started with one of Mother Nature’s joys, oysters…fresh, right and briny..Yum! We then chose the Wagyu beef skewers and the Brown butter spatzle…delicious combination. The beef was as tender and flavorful as expected, but the accompanying olive, date and seed salad really crowned the beef with even more deliciousness! When we first saw the spaetzle, we looked at each other and acknowledged this was very different from what we were accustomed to (German style) and it didn’t matter one bit once we tasted it. The veggies were so fresh and vibrant, the spaetzle tender with a slight chew but the brown butter broth spiked with enoki kicked this dish over the top! Ashley has an expert hand in flavors and it shines in her food. Capped off the meal with Tres Leches tiramisu…so freakin good and light at the same time! So, if you’re on the fence about trying The Laurel, don’t wait! Go! Your taste buds will thank you!
