    On a random Saturday night my gals and I went to Culver City to eat. Found this place on instagram and it looked good. So right off the bat, there isn't any parking for this place. It's a garage lot for the entire little area. It's not free parking by the way. Anyway back to the restaurant, we waited for about 15 min at most which was nice considering she initially said 45 min. The waitress was super nice, the food was okay. Small portions for the prices we paid. I felt like our plates could use more flavor, they felt a bit bland. The ambiance was lowkey like a romantic casual if that makes sense. Low lighting with heaters outside and you're looking out to the small little buildings next to the stairs. Moral of the story, I don't think I'd go back here. Not because my experience was bad, primarily because I felt like the food was a bit over priced, and not really worth the price.

    The ambience was magic, our server was very kind with great vibes! I'm only putting 4 stars because I expected little more hit with the food, but still was great and very tasty!

    Happened to be in Culver City needing a lunch spot and this was a great find. First off it's in a great location with upper level patio view. The wood fired pizzas are legit. Excellent quality toppings and made just right. The Caesar salads were so delicious with rotisserie chicken. Delicate fresh and just plain tasty. The oysters the hot bread crudo and calamari were all excellent starters.

    Nice setting atop the culver stairs. In and outdoor seating. Full bar. Maybe I was expecting a more old school steakhouse but it just didn't hit. Way too loud, and tv's on the walls. Staff was nice and attentive, but somewhat contrived, like they had all been told to watch and emulate the Bear. Food was solid, but standard. The steaks were cooked more than requested. I had heard good things, but maybe they are just relying on their previous reputation and non repeat customers. Want a total disappointment, but not going out of my way to go again.

    I met my friend here after a long work week. We deserved martins, and Laurel Grill has a really good one. I've come here and just sat at the bar solo, and it's a great people watching spot. The bar is pretty spacious so I've never had any issues with finding a spot. We decided to split dishes to try more options - margarita pizza: this came out very quickly after ordering. We were surprised how quick. But I really enjoyed this pizza. It felt like it was light, as light as a pizza can be. Would definitely order again or try a different topping. - meatballs: these were huge. And very tasty. 10/10. - chicken: we were pretty full after the pizza and meatballs, but the chicken was pretty good. I don't know if I'd order this again. I'd probably try something else. But it hit the spot. Overall the food is great here. I didn't like the baby screaming in the bar, nor the creepy guy staring at us from the bar. But sometimes you can't get away from that.

    Sat at the bar tonight, the bartender was not friendly at all. We also had to ask for everything... more water, silverware, dessert menu. Also they don't offer anything for birthdays or occasions... not even a free ice cream?? I think they should up their game because that is kind of lame considering the prices. Overall the bar is fine because it's clean and the lighting inside is still nice.

    Updated review! On Saturday, May 9, I had the opportunity to try more items from the menu, and I'm so glad I did. The food and service were spectacular! We ordered the lemon pasta with grilled shrimp, pepperoni pizza, Caesar salad with chicken, hot bread, and the delicious cheesesteak egg rolls. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. We also enjoyed an assortment of tequila drinks, and everyone was happy with their selections. A special thank-you to our server, Cassidy P., who was absolutely amazing. She was attentive, friendly, and helped make our experience even better. I'll definitely be asking for her the next time I visit!

    Located at the top of the Culver City steps, Laurel Grill is a nice restaurant with lots of casual food options like hotdog, burger, ribs, etc. it's created by the same owner as Laurel Hardware & Ysabel. It's gets busy and even with a reservation on Resy, we had to wait 10-20 mins to be seated. There are lots of booth tables which I love and have me a little bit of Houston's vibes. They have all the staples you want from a "new American" type restaurant and food is good overall. They don't have an actual kids menu but offer kids options like buttered pasta and grilled cheese. The best thing I had here is the apple pie - so good! But it comes smothered in caramel so ask for that on the side if you're not a caramel fan.

    It was a beautiful day in L.A. and a rooftop lunch with a view was the perfect way to spend a Saturday. I was joined by three beautiful ladies - Laurel, Lynn, & Te-See. Our server was a delightful girl named Cassidy. She took good care of us and had a great personality. We started with cocktails to toast our friendship: It's Giving-Paloma, Main Character (a riff on an espresso martini enhanced with vanilla syrup), Inverted Vesper (a twist on the classic with elderflower & grapefruit oil), and a Grey Goose Martini dry with Blue Cheese stuffed olives (for me of course). The menu contains lots of mouthwatering options. Our order consisted of: Hot Bread, Meatballs, Smoked Bacon & Pineapple Pizza, Spicy Vodka Pasta, House Salad, Caesar Salad, & two sides of Fries. I highly recommend starting your meal with the Hot Bread, which is baked in a wood-fired oven. It's pizza dough stuffed with mozzarella and topped with a light marinara. It is addicting. The meatballs were served on a bed of whipped ricotta and topped with marinara and shaved Reggiano. The House Salad was loaded with fresh veggies and came with a mustard vinaigrette. The handmade rigatoni was al dente and the spicy vodka sauce had a good flavor. It could have been spicier but it was still delish. Lynn said the Smoked Bacon & Pineapple Pizza was the best "Hawaiian" pizza she's had because it contained fresh pineapple and crispy smoked bacon. The fries were yummy and perfectly cooked. The vibe on the rooftop was chill and the view was lovely. (I was happy to see a well-mannered dog sitting at the table nearby.) The décor inside is also quite nice with sleek wood paneling and an open kitchen. A commercial for Ariana Grande's Cloud perfume was being filmed down in the courtyard the day of our visit. We got to see a parade of bubbles floating by. It was entertaining and a nice ending to our wonderful get-together. *Validated parking in the structure for the Culver Steps.

    Cajun shrimp salad
    Beatrice V.

    Met up with some ladies here for dinner! We made a reservation in advance. This place was popping when we arrived, super busy. It's up above the culver steps. Pretty twinkle lights throughout, a nice ambiance. You can park in the lot right ahead of it and they validate parking so you get 2 hours free. Huge restaurant inside, lots of seating. Seating in the outdoor patio as well. There's even a grand piano inside, so I imagine they have performances occasionally here too. I asked the waitress what she recommended between the Asian chicken salad and the Cajun shrimp salad. She said the Cajun shrimp so I went with that. It's not inexpensive at $28. It has a nice presentation! It was good and had a nice mix of ingredients, hazelnuts, orange, and Cajun-spiced shrimp. Decent amount of shrimp on the salad but not sure it's worth nearly $30. My friend got the Asian chicken salad and the portion was significantly larger and it was cheaper. Curious to have tried that one out. We also got the chips & guac which were decent but the guac was a little too on the creamy side for me. Staff was diligent at refilling waters etc but they also had an air of hoity-toityness. I did like the vibe of the restaurant though. Good for business meals or a date night or meeting up with friends.

    Does the restaurant have valet parking?

    No but there's a very large structure under the restaurant for parking

    Is this restaurant good for couples after a Douglas Theater Matinee?

    Definitely. Make sure you make reservations. Otherwise, could be a little wait time as they are popular. Nevertheless, waiting inside or outside is a beautiful setting.

    Do they take reservations?

    Yes

    Is takeout or delivery available?

    I know that you can order takeout for sure. I don't know any restaurant that wouldn't let you order for takeout but as far as delivery goes, I think you could get delivery if you used one of the services but what is the point of that the place is be… 

    Are dogs allowed on the patio?

    Yes ! And they have cozy firepits out there as well.

    Does this place welcome kids and is there a kid menu?

    It’s a bit sophisticated for young kids, and no kids menu. When you say “welcome kids”, they wouldn’t kick you out, but there are not special seats for example, for little ones. If they would fuss or cry, I suspect people would be looking. It’s… 

    Is this a Hillstone restaurant?

    I don't think so. Even though the menu reminds me of Houston's by Hillstone, the Internet lists Laurel Grill as a Dean McKillen restaurant (a competitor).

    What are the Gluten free options? Do they have gluten free bread, pasta or pizza?

    I'm waiting for the answer too

    Is there happy hour?

    I've been there a few times. No happy hour yet.

The area is prone to heavy traffic, and parking can be a challenge. We eventually found metered parking after fighting our way through traffic, which wasn't exactly a pleasant way to start the meal. Once inside, though, things improved. The service was good, and so was the food. We both ordered the fish and chips. My spouse started with the tomato soup, while I had the Caesar salad. I have to admit, the salad was a bit of a disappointment--it was somewhat soggy. I tried my spouse's tomato soup, though, and thought it was very good. We both really enjoyed the fish and chips. It very much felt like an Irish Pub, If I worked in the area, I could see myself stopping by to have a drink and to hang out with friends. For dessert, I had the bread pudding, which I loved. My spouse had the lava cake and said he enjoyed it as well. Overall, the traffic and parking are a drawback, and the Caesar salad missed the mark, but the rest of the meal was very good. Between the food and the service, there's enough here to bring me back.

The location has a spacious area filled with a variety of wine options. I picked a Bourgogne Chardonnay from France ($36). We came on a late Monday afternoon and, lucky for us, they have a bar special on Mondays: No corkage fee! They also have Happy Hour-- Monday to Friday from 3-6pm. The Chardonnay was divine! I would totally return and purchase another bottle. We also ordered a charcuterie board and took advantage of their happy hour special for $20 (pick two-- one cheese and one meat). We opted for the 'Humboldt Fog' Chèvre as our cheese option and the Bresaola for our meat option. Both were delicious, but the chèvre was truly exquisite. We shared one charcuterie board with five people and it was enough; however if you're on the hungry side, I suggest two charcuterie boards for five or six people. In addition to meat and cheese, it comes with crackers, some pickled veggies, onion jam, candied nuts, whole grain Dijon, and apple slices. On the left side of the venue you have your variety of wine options; on the right side, there's the bar and some tables, plus a small area with other snacks for purchase that pair nicely with wine or beer. They even sell the Torres truffle chips! My only complaint is the service, unfortunately. The lady at the cashier was super friendly, however the bar tender was not so welcoming. When he came over to our table to open our wine bottle, he didn't greet us, smile, or say anything. He took our bottle and opened it and then asked who was going to taste. Not sure if he thought we didn't speak English since we were speaking another language when he came to our table, but overall, we all noticed his attitude and thought it was rather unwelcoming. Because of this experience, I rate this place a 4/5, however, everything else was great!

Food - We ordered the scallop crudo to share, the house baguette, and French onion soup to share. I'm glad we ordered the scallops and the strawberry pairing was unexpected and interesting. My personal fave was the soup, which our servers kindly split into 2 tureens for us to share (soup is pretty hard to share otherwise, amirite?) It was so delicious that I found myself peeling the extra cheese from the bowl. For mains, I went with the Tagiatelle and husband ordered the steak frites.
