The Lawrence

Very nice on-the-ball server, contemporary minimalist decor, obviously trendy to eat here. The ingredients in the menu items sometimes seem to be there for their cool factor. I had the chicken, which was expertly prepared along with the potatoes. Sounds simple enough, right? Chicken? Amazing how many times you can order chicken and it's rubbery or flabby and flavorless. The chef(s) here nailed it. Delicious. My main criticism would be that there could be just a few more choices of main plates to select from. Without enough choices, you might not come back here very often.

Frankly, some of the best tasting and named cocktails in town. Each one tried had layered nuances and complexity. Very vegetarian and vegan friendly menu, with creative flair. Eating outdoors is a pleasure during these times, though the indoors have a modern touch that will be an intimate pleasure in the near future.

8 years later: still one of my favorites. GET THE SAUSAGE AND LENTILS! April 2021

One of my favorite restaurants in Atlanta. Great date place. Creative cocktails; good wine list; wonderful food. Staff cares that you have a good time. Relaxed atmosphere; trendy clientele. Tuesday nights they donate part of your bill to local charities.

Great service and food. We are normally meat eaters. However, we were impressed and satisfied with the vegetarian entree. Tonight's was a wine braised beet dish. We also had "The Larry Burger", the Toulouse sausage appetizer, and Escargot. The server made a nice wine recommendation to go with dinner. We had a nice time.
