    Really good food, portion sizes are a little small but the prices were actually more affordable than I was expecting. The service and atmosphere was top notch, especially if you request to be seated outside.

    I've only ever been here in my early 20s for drinks and I have to say the food was phenomenal! Of course the perfect ambience, sexy and romantic outside, while sleek and industrial inside. Service was great. Plenty of street and lot parking, which was new to me! I'll be back for more soon.

    Laurel Hardware is not only a cool concept, but also had great vibes. Service was fast and friendly. The bolognese was extremely tasty and didn't feel heavy on the stomach. The atmosphere was lively and decorated beautifully. I would definitely go back. We got right in on a weekend night.

    CAME FOR DESSERT ONLY!! I looooooved the dessert menu! We literally had to order 3 of the pizookies because it's THAT yummy. The sticky date pudding wasn't my favorite because it's not too sweet but a lot of other people in my party loved it. The crem brûlée was soooooooo good!!!! The hard caramel shell tasted perfectly sweet & the custard below it was phenomenal! It comes topped with fresh fruit that were ripe and ready for your taste buds YUM. The ambiance in the outdoor patio literally MADE the night. It's so romantic with all the lit up trees. Definitely a spot for the younger crowd & couples. Our waiter was so attentive & fun! He made jokes with us & was pleasant overall.

    The Gangster

    First time at Laurel hardware, and we had a mixed response. The decor is appropriately industrial, but with kicked-up touches that make it feel more upscale, more comfortable. The deep woods and dark metal furnishings inside contrast nicely with the ceiling-high windows leading to the outdoor patio. It's a welcoming space, and the staff was equally charming, friendly and focused on making sure we had what we needed. Our server, Allison, offered personal suggestions re the menu, and explained anything that was unclear. Drinks were promptly brought by the bartender, who also made sure we were satisfied before leaving us to our cocktails. My wife's drink, The Gangster, was a sweet and tart blend of cucumber vodka, watermelon juice and lime: refreshing and light, without too much of an alcohol kick. I opted for an Asahi beer, offered on tap and served in a frosty cold glass. It was also refreshing, and paired well with a dram of Toki whiskey. Food was where things stalled for my wife, who ordered the Crispy Rice Salad. Unlike a true salad of crispy rice that you'd get at a Thai restaurant, where crispy rice is the main ingredient, this was really an Asian chicken salad with crispy rice used as a garnish instead of the usual wonton noodles. The ample portion of shaved veggies and pulled chicken (fresh and good quality) was appreciated, but the dressing was far too mild, even when bolstered by an order of extra dressing; the large serving of salad wound up lacking pizzazz and being a disappointment. On the other hand, I really enjoyed my order of Duck Fried Rice, which was packed with flavor and a good degree of spice. The duck itself was tender and tasty, the rice a nice blend of soft and crispy, the included veggies retained crunch through the cooking, and the fried egg on top added just the right extra pop of flavor and creaminess. It was the far better dish, and I would happily order it again. So, it wasn't a perfect meal, but there were definitely some successes, and as I said, the staff couldn't have been nicer. I would go back and try other options, and would even try the salad again if they promise to tweak the dressing.

    This place is gorgeous! The restaurant has a beautiful design both indoor and outdoor. So much seating and a great happy hour selection. Favorite thing we ordered were the Lollipop sprouts. Never underestimate vegetables to be the yummiest part of the meal :) Frozen lavender cocktail was refreshing, pizza was perfect, ribs were melt-in-your-mouth, and shrimp tacos made a great appetizer. Service was attentive and so friendly!

    Right when you walk in it's a very moody spot. There's a bar right there if you're waiting for your party to arrive - because they won't seat you until everyone is there. I got to eat outside and it was so beautiful! We were right under a gorgeous lit tree. I ordered a mocktail that I think had gang in the name? It was so tasty! Highly recommend. Then my friend and I split the short rib pappardelle and the crispy rice salad. The salad was so fresh and had amazing crunch. The pasta...omg. It was delicious, and I could have eaten another bowl. For dessert we got the bread pudding, and I'm not usually a bread pudding fan because of the texture, however this one was perfect! Crisp on the outside and warm and soft inside. The only thing I wish were different is that it's so loud outside. We were a party of 5 and I felt like I was screaming across the table to talk. Probably better if you have a smaller party though! Overall, I'm excited to return and try a cocktail!

    This place is really cute! The ambiance is very picture worthy no matter if you're sitting inside or outside. We had a big group reservation and the staff were super friendly, took great care of us. It was our friends birthday and they even refrigerated the cake and made the whole thing special! Staff was very attentive so i loved that. I got the 6oz steak and it was perfectly seasoned and cooked. Also definitely recommended the hamachi crudo, perfectly spicy and flavored. For drinks, I got the gangster, so refreshing if you're looking for something simple. The only issue I had was with the bathrooms, there were only 3 single stalls for both genders so there was always a line and it overflowed into the seating guest area. Awkward placement for it too. Come here if you're looking for cute pics and good food!

    I recently saw one of my old social media posts and photos pop up as a "memory from today." It was from when I went to Laurel Hardware on Saturday evening, March 23rd, 2019. It's been quite a long time, but I still remember the place having a great atmosphere, delicious food, and very friendly service. I usually don't drink alcohol, but I also remember posting the caption, "Tonight's forecast: 99% chance of wine & cocktail," on my social media at the time. I remember all the food was really good, but especially the Truffle Fries -- they were absolutely delicious.

    Came a weekday night. Place was busy, but not full. It was hard to get a seat at the bar area. We had to flag the bartender down. The patio area was really nice with the lighted trees. Was told the food was pricy but good. Would return just to sit at the patio area. Really nice decor.

    One of those meals I'll be thinking about for awhile. Everything was a 10/10 from the cocktails to the entrees. The Crunchy Shrimp was crispy and delicious. The Short Rib Pappardelle was comfort food at its finest. The pizza was cooked perfectly with just the right amount of toppings. Our server was fabulous- she had a lot of tables and was still super attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. Loved the atmosphere- such a great vibe.

    Elizabeth G.

    Absolutely adore this place. Not only is the ambience incredible but the food is too. The short rib pappardelle is what I come back for. 10 Star dish!!!!

    I mean come on.. happy hour, say less! Tried several things off of the happy hour and let me say everything was soooooo good! My cousin and I had the gangster cocktail and it was unforgettable. Ugh the pizza and shrimp tacos were also way too good. Unfortunately the service was not. Our server was honestly very cold to us and was not attentive at all even though they clearly were not busy. I'm under them impression he was profiling us because we're young because the moment another older group sat in the section he treated them a whole different way it was insane to see. Aside from that everything was spectacular and the ambience is obviously nothing short of beautiful!

    Ask the Community - Laurel Hardware

    Valet parking available for lunch hours?

    nope

    How much is valet parking?

    $15

    Are kids welcome?

    Yes, just not at the bar. However, it's a pretty adult crowd so if your kids are sensitive to adult conversations then it's something to keep in mind. Typically the families with kids we see are there on the weekends during the day up until the… 

    Are you open for reservations only? Or is walk-in allowed?

    Walk-ins will be tough as it's a popular venue. I'd recommend checking OpenTable and grabbing a time slot... otherwise if you're lucky it'll be bar seating, if unlucky you'll be turned away.

    Do they have a corkage fee?

    My recollection is $25. Which is a lot. I'm not sure but I seem to recall that.

    Do you need a reservation to drink at the bar?

    No you don't! But there could potentially not be any seats in which case you'll be standing!

    Is there a dress code here?

    No. It's nice enough to dress up but if you want to come casual that'll work too

    Is their brunch menu the same as dinner? I can't find the lunch/ brunch menu anywhere

    Their lunch menu is on open table. No brunch menu or brunch offerings yet.

    Does anyone know if they require proof of vaccination if it's still outdoor dining?

    Yes they do. I found out last night and you have to show your card.

    Do they have valet parking?

    Yeah, its on the pricier side tho. Its 11 dollars

    Is the bar still open for lounging? Or is a table required?

    I didn't see anyone at the bar but I went months ago, certainly they have bar seating by now. GL

    Are there stairs? Is the whole place wheelchair accessible?

    There are stairs leading to the outside area in the back, but seating inside is wheelchair accessible.

    Is there anything vegan or can be made vegan on the menu?

    Yes. They have a spaghetti dish that's actually quite tasty.

    Darling was on my list to try ever since I read about it on Eater. It eventually became one of 2…read morerestaurants that were the focus of my recent staycation in the West Hollywood/Beverly Grove area, the other was perennial favourite A.O.C. I was familiar with chef/owner (and James Beard Award winner) Sean Brock, having dined at two of his Husk restaurants (Charleston and Nashville), where he first gained fame and accolades. He is no longer affiliated with Husk or some other Nashville restaurants, but still has a pizza place there, so he is still bi-coastal. I can't say what drew him to SoCal, but is clearly enamored of our bountiful produce and purveyors, which he integrates into his "Heritage Southern", often live-fire, cooking. He's apparently quite a music lover also, hence the live DJ all-vinyl booth in the bar/lounge. Darling is on the northern end of Robertson between Melrose and Sunset. Many restaurants of note are nearby, including The Abbey, Craig's, SushiSamba. Many, including Darling, do not have valet parking, so that can be an endeavor you should allow time for. Darling is a pretty large, gorgeous and airy space, divided into an open-air-ish lounge/bar and a dining room towards the rear, which in turn is divided into 2 sections. The space used be the restaurant Soulmate, and looking at old pics still up on Yelp, it is clear many of the design features were repurposed for Darling, including the beautiful wood-beamed ceiling and booths in the dining room, the olive tree and retractable roof in the lounge, and the exterior. The impressive mural in the dining room appears new, as is the DJ booth. The weather was in the 90's during my visits, so the more A/C-controlled dining room was my choice for seating. Darling serves dinner Wed-Sat and brunch Sundays, so of course I had to try both. There's also a small Happy Hour menu Wed-Sat in the lounge/bar. Here's the lowdown: Dinner 1) Deviled eggs. A classic Southern snack, bougied up with bluefin tuna belly. Delish, with a slight kick, but just 2 per order. 2) Abalone and rice stew. Another winner (and smallish portion). Earthy, yet light, topped with a confit egg yolk. 3) The Darling dry-aged steak burger. Just 24 served per day. The stellar meat is a blend of 3 types of beef, mostly dry-aged prime, cooked over the live-fire grill. It was served simply with ketchup, cheese, raw onion and Dijonnaise , allowing the beef to shine. Served without accompaniments. 4) Sliced tomatoes with buttermilk dressing and tomato vine vinegar. A simple and refreshing taste of summer. 5) Blackberry sorbet Eton mess. Delish sorbet that was the perfect blend of sweet and tart. Eton mess is whipped cream and meringue shards. The Texas deer skewers and Anson Mills cornbread were also of interest to me; another time. Brunch 1) Sonora wheat pancakes. Pretty classic, with crispy edges, fancy Maison Bordier butter and maple syrup. 2) 5-fat fried chicken. Also available on the Happy Hour menu. I was told the chicken was heavily spiced, but not heat-spicy. Its red-orange hue made me pause with fear, but it was exactly as described. The seasoning is quite chili powder-forward (Ancho chili?). The chicken is boneless thigh meat (my fave chicken part), just like the Spanish fried chicken at A.O.C. Served with a vinegary hot sauce (didn't use), honey (used it all) and an assortment of pickles. The 5 fats used are chicken fat, lard, country ham, bacon fat and smoked butter. Quite different from A.O.C.'s version; apples and oranges. Try them both. 3) Watermelon sorbet with Bonny melon and lemon verbena. Another sorbet winner, even more refreshing with the melon. Their cocktail and wine offerings seem pretty extensive. My zero-proof pineapple concoction was fine and delish; I had it at both meals. Service and staff was excellent and oh so friendly--hostess, servers, busboys, manager. I wish I remembered the names of my servers for shout-outs; their names didn't appear on my checks. Speaking of checks, you have the option of paying via QR code or with a traditional paper check and table-side hand-held gizmo. I did both and recommend the traditional method to avoid the $3.99 "Platform Fee" for using the QR code. Lastly, I found the music pleasant and mostly retro (the DJ usually puts the album currently spinning on display), but very loud. Guests were yelling in order to converse. Hope to return, and maybe see Chef Sean DJ-ing.

We got deviled eggs topped with tuna belly, which made a convincing case for deviled eggs without tuna belly. The steak burger was hearty, but the way it was seasoned and dressed was so vinegar forward that it made it hard to enjoy. The fries were great--chunky and crispy. However, the $24 cucumber salad was so awful I'm shocked they would serve it. First, there were genuinely 6 cucumber slices, so more like a leafy green salad with cucumbers and hardly a "cucumber salad." But even those 6 were wet and mushy, as though they'd been sitting in the fridge for too long. The fact that this dish made it through the garde manger, sous chef, head chef, and even the servers without anyone stopping it does not bode well for the longevity of this restaurant.

The wagyu unfortunately had an unpleasant meat smell (maybe not super fresh), and the spicy tuna crispy rice was nothing special - good but only worth ordering if you're really craving it. Our server told us the lemon pasta was very "lemon-forward," but it was not as tangy as I anticipated. If you're on the fence, staff will recommend dishes that pair well with the lemon pasta! We enjoyed it with our branzino because this palate was much more simple. For special events and celebrations, Ysabel will give you an enjoyable experience.

I did enjoy the fries though so I will say a nice crispy fry with a little bit of greenery on top was decent. Along with the Wagyu lacking, the steak tartar was also not a good idea. Maybe it was just an off night to have steak at this location, but I would definitely be weary of ordering. Even though the food was lacking it in a major way.

Even the restroom, that was super clean and well-maintained, has a very unique and interesting setup for what is the sink. All around great place, highly recommended. 10/10. UPDATE: Added names and more clarification on the fish tacos. Thank you to the GM in leaving a response. Your whole team is fantastic. I'll definitely be back.

    Somewere on their website, The Henry says they want to make you feel at home. Funny, because before…read moreI read this, my immediate reaction when I walked in the door this weekend was that it reminded me of some of the breezy upscale restaurants I grew up with at the Jersey Shore. And, Miami. And even at the marinas in San Diego, San Francisco, and Sausalito. The Henry is very large and open, yet, with all the light streaming in, the soft blues and greys keep the atmosphere sophisticated, subdued, and cool. You immediately feel the calm and these days, especially in the city, we can use a good deal of decompressing. It was almost an audible "aaaahhhhh" that my brain whispered when we sat down at our roomy booth. We were there for brunch and the menu was wonderful for me, a lifelong vegetarian. There were multiple items I wanted to try but I usually stick to an appetizer, main, dessert, and beverage. I am not a big eater at one sitting. Between us, everything we ordered was superb. The descriptions were pretty familiar, but the tastes were elevated. And the presentations were unique too -- see my photos. Michael, our server, was efficient but warm and friendly too. That makes such a difference. From beginning to end he took care of us, checking occasionally to get our enthusiastic thumbs-up, and then bringing us sturdy containers and a roomy thick shopping bag to take home the leftovers. We stuffed ourselves but still took home half of the generous portions we were given. The tab was beyond reasonable too, especially for Beverly Hills! Nice music -- not too loud, just enough to give a cheerful vibe in the background; clean appointments; quality furnishings; giant spotless windows; pretty wallcoverings; comfortable seating -- everything was just right, Goldilocks-worthy. This is the kind of place to return to again and again. Garage parking at the complex for $15 was so easy, clean surroundings in the neighborhood with some famous retail nearby for browsing, just 40 minutes from home. IOW, perfect!

    I really wanted to love The Henry, but overall it was just okay. The restaurant itself has a nice…read moreatmosphere, but unfortunately the food didn't quite match the experience. We tried the pasta bolognese, mac & cheese, and filet with asparagus and a loaded potato. Everything looked fine, but for a restaurant at this price point, I expected much more in both presentation and flavor. The dishes were fairly basic and nothing really stood out or made me want to order it again. The filet was cooked well but missing a char and flavor, but the overall plate felt a little uninspired, and the pastas were missing that richness and depth of flavor I was hoping for. Not a bad meal by any means, but when you factor in the price and expectations, it just didn't deliver for me.
