We tried Laws during Westy Restaurant week and had a fabulous meal! The bruschetta was amazing, the salads were very fresh and the beef tenderloin was cooked to perfection. We came in early to have a drink during happy hour which was a plus (and a ggod deal) and the wait staff was on point during the meal. I would definitely recommend.
