Elegant dining. Superb dining experience.
I will return without hesitation. Lobster mushroom appetizer to die for. Veal schnitzel perfect.
Return diners will not notice too many changes, which is good. The ambiance is excellent. You will enjoy the bautiful interior of a classic old building. If you're lucky (and we were), great views of the city. They have a good wine list, limited bourbon selection, the bar offerings aren't ready for prime time. My friend ordered sambuca, which is traditionally served with 3 coffee beans. They didn't have them when he ordered it a week ago and they still didn't last night. This may be picky, but the table wasn't set properly.
We got oyster and escargot apps, both excellent. I had lamb, which was also excellent, my wife really enjoyed the seafood diablo. We had both souffles, chocolate and Grand Marnier which were perfect, but need to be ordered early. That brings me to my only complaint. The service was noticeably slow, I mean you will be checking your emails, etc while you wait for dinner. The parking lot limits you to three hours, you'll cut it close. They weren't particularly crowded, there wasn't an obvious reason. Slow service and the bar is why I didn't rate this otherwise excellent restaurant any higher.
Charleston's Finest. Laury's has never disappointed me. I have been here for several business dinners and for special occasions. Every course is delightful and there are many choices to please any palate. Try the mushroom ravioli or oysters Rockafeller for apps. For entree, my favorites are the filet mignon, seafood diablo, and maybe the best is the chicken encrout, which is a chicken breast stuffed with Italian ham and swiss cheese baked in a puff pastry! The wine list is extensive and has great choices for any price point. Service and ambiance are impeccable.
Enjoy
