We go to fork and fire about 4 times a month. Food, service and ambiance are always great. If I had one recommendation, it would be to bring back or add a vegetarian sandwich/burger or another vegetarian option.

We had the best experience for our first visit to The Laurel on November 1st. The restaurant is beautifully decorated, and the food was unique and so delicious! Drinks were just as great. We visited on the occasion of my birthday, and staff presented us with complimentary bubbly and a birthday candle in an amazing chocolate cake. Thank you for serving such a wonderful and memorable birthday lunch! We’ll definitely be back to visit again.

It was a great experience. The waitress was great it was our 25th Anniversary she took pictures for us also and went out of her way to get the perfect shots. The food was great also you got a lot of good food for the price and the mixed drinks were perfectly mixed and chilled. Will definitely be coming back again and hope to have the same great waitress.

Beautifully designed spaces with comfortable seating. Attentive and friendly staff. Food was delicious, especially the smoked trout dip with homemade chips. International wine list is appropriately concise and offers a variety of price points. Offerings by the glass are plentiful. I can’t wait to return!
