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.

Another great experience at this fine restaurant. Always love to go family style and share appetizers while all enjoying our own entree. We continued this pattern this evening, and everything was spot on, including the drinks. This is always a favorite in the Hamptons and even better in the off-season when it's not as crowded as the summer.

Celebrated a birthday dinner here. We chose to sit in a quiet area, though there was music near the bar. Our server, Kelly, was very attentive but never overbearing. The Prix Fixe Menu had great selections. The seafood bisque, short ribs, and beignets were delish! It was a lovely dining experience.

    AHHHHMMAAAZZING! From start to finish. The food is sooo special, creative flavors perfectly paired and prepared. Don't leave without trying their pasta or burrata salad w/squash, or the most most most wonderful, warm, melt-in your mouth focaccia. Or the fish of the day. Wish we could have tried everything! And what a show from their kitchen! Sit at the chef's table and watch this team of professionals put out the most delicious and beautiful dishes, in the most perfectly choreographed way. Great service, too, from an experienced team in a great space. Bravo, Chef! To you and your whole team! Can't wait to visit again!
