I met some friends here after work. This is a beautiful spot located in the Conrad Hotel in downtown Los Angeles. It has a very good feel to it. A great spot for a warm Southern California evening. From the moment we entered all the staff were very friendly and helpful and provided excellent service. The food was outstanding! The combinations and flavors were so interesting and unique. although the portions were a little small. The Lubina was cooked perfectly. The Gambas were tender and paired with a delicious pepper sauce. The wild mushrooms in Laurel cream was my favorite dish and we splurged and got the shaved truffle on top which was a nice addition. All in all an outstanding meal in a beautiful restaurant. read more

Delicious. Walked in after catching an exhibit at the Broad. The staff were delightful and welcoming. Our waiter Johnny was very helpful, had incredible in-depth knowledge of everything on the menu and answered all our questions. He made sure to ask about allergies before we even ordered. Food was beautifully presented and flavors were so intense. Would definitely come here again to celebrate a special occasion. The ambiance, the cuisine and view of Disney Hall make it all worth it. read more

Jose Andres has done it again - world-class food in a world-class setting. We made reservations here because we were looking for good food in an outdoor setting close to the Music Center. Our server was helpful in explaining the menu and then left us to discuss. He left us a little too long and I had to go looking for him because I was worried we weren't going to make our showtime, but he was very helpful in expediting our order after that and making sure that we had enough time to finish eating and pay our bill (I think we had just under an hour when I tracked him down). The outdoor patio was lovely with a great view of both Disney Hall and the Music Center. The menu, while not extensive, offered plenty of options for my picky family. The only thing lacking for us was a selection of mocktails - all the drinks were alcoholic. Everything we had was delicious with an explosion of flavors and textures, but my favorites were the blue crab croquetas (eat them while they're still warm), the octopus, which was perfectly tender and not at all fishy, and the pastrami smoked salmon toast montaditos. The stracciatella salad was also wonderful. Child was super excited to try the coca idiazabal, which was a cracker piled high with grated cheese and flowers - the presentation was beautiful, but the cheese wasn't my favorite cheese (it's a sheep cheese). Didn't catch the official name of the dessert we ordered, but child absolutely loved it - a mango passion sorbet topped with mochi and a coconut snow. It was very good. Restrooms are located behind the elevator bank, and they are unisex similar to the ones at the Huntington Rose Garden - it's a shared sink space with individual stalls that go from floor to ceiling. Worth knowing in case you have a child who needs to go. Would 100% come back here prior to a show. read more

Came by for dinner the other night and it was a world class experience. San Laurel is a Jose Andres restaurant featured in the Michelin Guide and is located on the 11th floor of the Conrad Los Angeles. Parking is available across the street at the Walt Disney Arts Center for $10 after 4:30 pm. The restaurant apparently validates parking. Dining is available both indoors or outdoors. The dining area is extravagant. Our server, Johnny, was fantastic providing suggestions and checking up on us throughout the evening. Started off with the heirloom tomatoes and they were excellent. Super light and refreshing! The spanish ham appetizer was world class with super fragrant ham along with the super tasty toast. I do miss the Spanish ham prices in Europe, where it's like the price of buying a taco. ;) The pea appetizer was also excellent. The presentation was world class, featuring contrasting textures and flavors. The Hokkaido scallops appetizer along with the gambas appetizer were both excellent. I was slightly surprised that the shrimps were served tail and skin off...probably to account for the demographic and clientele. For the main, the wagyu flat iron was excellent. It was cooked to a perfect medium rare and the charring was fantastic. The marbling of the steak was world class. The duck breast entree was also excellent with super crispy skin along with a red centre. Ended the meal with the cheesecake which was surprisingly not too heavy or sweet. ~$112/head after tax and gratuity for dinner. read more

While exploring Downtown LA, I decided to stop in for breakfast at this restaurant (San Laurel) - tucked inside the Conrad Hotel, and it turned out to be a wonderful start to the day. From the warm welcome at the host stand to the attentive service throughout the meal, the hospitality was exceptional. A special shoutout to Andrea, whose friendly demeanor, knowledge of the menu, and thoughtful service elevated the entire experience. The breakfast menu offers an impressive selection, making it difficult to choose. I settled on a cappuccino, a mimosa, and the omelet with mushroom ragù and jamón Ibérico, accompanied by a side of roasted potatoes. Every component was thoughtfully prepared. The omelet was light and perfectly cooked, with the earthy mushroom ragù and rich, savory jamón Ibérico creating a balanced combination of flavors. The roasted potatoes were crisp, well-seasoned, and impossible to stop eating. The setting is equally memorable. Sipping coffee while looking out toward the iconic Walt Disney Concert Hall made the experience feel distinctly Los Angeles. Excellent cuisine, impeccable service, and an inviting atmosphere make this a place worth returning to. Breakfast exceeded my expectations, and I'm already looking forward to coming back to explore their lunch and dinner menus. read more

Well, where to start: I will NEVER eat at San Laurel again! In the photo below is my lunch menu, notice the Miyazaki entry at $210, well that's the reason for this review. Mr. Cruz, our server, suggests the Miyazaki (A4 Wagyu beef) steak because they had it at a special price of $110. When I receive the bill, I bring the price to Mr. Cruz attention, he tells me that is the price of the steak. I politely reminded him of what he said the price ($110) of the steak was when he offered it to me and my wife. I politely reminded Mr. Cruz not lie to his customers--and that's what real issue of this post is, the lie he told me regarding the real price of the steak. So, I paid the tab $481.80 plus a $75 dollar tip (15% of the tab), I was going to leave ZERO dollars, but my wife is the kind person in our relationship. In conclusion, even if they were to offer me a full refund, I WILL NEVER GO BACK TO San Laurel--the damage is done, PERMANENTLY! @Jose Andres, it is employees like Mr. Cruz that will bankrupt your restaurants, you very well know that it is REPEAT customers like me that keep restaurants thriving and its doors open. Well, unfortunately, San Laurel has seen the last penny it will ever receive from me--good luck, you're going to need it. I noticed Agua Viva, San Laurel's sister restaurant, is no longer open, I wonder why? Maybe, it is because of servers who lie to boost sales (dollars) just as Mr. Cruz did to me and my wife. read more

San Laurel - My lunch menu 11 July 2026 - Spanish Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I had a 5:15 pre-theater reservation and I was seated promptly. I had a nice little inside deuce facing north. The restaurant is simply but elegantly decorated. The bar is a focal point as is the large wrap around dining terrace. After taking a look at the menu, I had a brief conversation with Elizabeth about the size of the dishes and what to order. I wanted to try a few things so I started with the fennel soup, and then I had the straciatella salad & the scallops. The fennel soup with crabmeat was so beautifully presented and it tasted absolutely heavenly. I wanted that bowl to be never-ending. It was my favorite dish of the evening! Btw, the only miss of the night was that the soup and salad were brought out at the same time. That was not ideal, but when I told Elizabeth, she kindly returned the salad to the kitchen and brought out a fresh one once I'd finished my soup. The salad was good, but quite sweet. I also didn't enjoy the little frisée like, twig-esque lettuce leaves that were tossed in although the strawberries and other elements in the salad were so delicious. It was a bit like having dessert early. The scallops were perfectly cooked and divine. I enjoyed them. I could have done without the sliced grapes, but they weren't really a bother. I probably should have just ended with these items, but I was still hungry. So I ordered the vermicelli Mac n cheese. It came out in a piping hot red serving dish and was interesting... the cheese sauce did not have the depth of flavor that I was looking for, but with the crunchy shallots and the umami of the mushrooms, some bites were quite satisfying. This dish was in the larger side, so I ended up taking most of it to go. I also had a glass of Lefrana 2021, & it was pleasant and accompanied my dishes well. Overall, this was an elevated meal is a sophisticated yet welcoming environment. The service was quite good. I was referred to by name throughout the experience, and all of the staff members were professional and attentive. The bathroom is gender neutral meaning that there is one large restroom with individual stalls for everyone to use. I noted valet parking and self-parking, but I walked & took Angels Flight from Little Tokyo, so I can't comment more on it. Gracias! read more

We had some reservations walking in, mostly because we were not too familiar with the menu or the cuisine. But honestly, we ended up leaving absolutely delighted. San Laurel at the Conrad Los Angeles, from Michelin chef José Andrés, was such a nice date night treat. The food has that Spanish-inspired feel with a California touch, and everything we tried had a rich and memorable flavor. The menu is not huge, but I actually liked that. It feels like they are not trying to do too much, and instead put more attention into making each dish really count. Every plate felt thought out, from the flavors to the presentation. We started dinner with the bread, roasted eggplant, and seared scallops - already a great way to kick things off. The bread was unique - light, crispy, and a perfect companion to the sauces. The roasted eggplant was something we had never had before. It had a nice depth of flavor and made for an interesting start to the meal. The scallops were beautifully seared and tasty. From there, we also enjoyed the vegetables, Wagyu Flat Iron, sea bass, and dessert. Portions were just right, the pacing was smooth, and nothing felt rushed. Service was also commendable, especially from our server Andrea, who was warm, attentive, and made the evening feel easy and relaxed. Dessert was a great surprise. The Milhojas was not on the menu but came recommended, and I'm glad we went with it. It is a Spanish-style layered pastry, similar to a mille-feuille, with crisp flaky layers and cream in between. Light, delicate, creamy, and a really nice way to end the meal. Overall, this was a lovely date night dinner and a very enjoyable experience. Great flavors, beautiful presentation, good portions, smooth pacing, and wonderful service. We would definitely come back and try the others to the menu! read more

San Laurel, on top of the Conrad hotel, is a restaurant delivering dishes from chef Jose Andres. If you can find street parking, feel free to park there. If not, valet is $15 with validation. Once parked, we headed to the rooftop to a view overlooking the Walt Disney concert hall. We had a reservation so we were seated right away with a perfect view right around sunset. Started with cocktails, getting the Japanese Milk Punch with Suntory Toki Japanese blended whiskey, yuzu, lemongrass, orange, lemon, nutmeg and clarified with milk. An interesting cocktail with a nice flavor profile, with all of the notes present but nothing overpowering. Well balanced. Food, we started with the oysters, bluefin tuna crudo and fennel soup. The oysters were great with a passion fruit cream paired in the shell. Never had the two paired together and I didn't know I needed that in my life at some point. So tasty. The bluefin tuna crudo was also nice, with a raspberry jous and fresh raspberries. The fish was perfect and the raspberry amped the dish up. But the trash either was the fennel soup with dungeness crab, Manchego espuma and fennel pollen. I don't even really know how to describe this except that it was phenomenal. Our server recommended it and I'm so glad he did. For entrees, we split the wagyu flat iron with a side vermicelli mac n cheese. The flat iron was a Blackhawk Farms flat iron with cone cabbage, spiced piquillo puree and veal jus. The steak was cooked perfectly and seasoned perfectly. The Mac n cheese was very interesting, definitely not your typical Mac n cheese with fideuá pasta, Idiazábal cheese, seasonal mushrooms, egg yolk sauce and crispy shallots. We e very excited for this but it turned out to be the least favorite of everything we are. I don't know if it was the expectation or the lack of cheese in comparison to everything else in the dish, but I don't think I would get it again. Overall, great vibes, staff was very friendly with solid recommendations, and great food. Absolutely get the fennel soup and the oysters, as well as the flat iron. Bluefin was good but not a must, and skip on the Mac n cheese. But definitely go eat at San Laurel when you get a chance. read more

That is hands down the best yogurt parfait I have ever had. I've eaten in plenty of Michelin star restaurants and in each I've appreciated the passion and focus that the chefs brought to their craft, but it has never shocked me the way that this yogurt parfait did. It was truly stunning. At first bite I distinctly thought, "Oh, mint, that's interesting." I then decided to run the yogurt over my tongue which I had slightly burnt on my coffee (which really was a bit too hot, be careful out there) and continued on as one would. It wasn't until the fourth or fifth bite that I thought, "This is incredible!" I actually stopped, pulled out my phone and took a picture of the yogurt, not because I originally intended to review it but rather because I realized I need to tell the world about this parfait and I would want to remember it (you'll notice in the photo I tried to hide that I'd already taken a few bites). The texture, the complexity of complimentary flavors, the crunchiness of the granola, the freshness of the berries were all done to perfection. Even the presentation was distinct and enjoyable. I paused on my last few bites and considered for a moment that would be sad that the yogurt parfait would be gone in a few short moments. As I finished, I noted that I was right. I sat for a moment and felt genuine sadness at the fact the parfait was gone. I am not this emotional of a person, I'm really not, it really was just that good. The next few moments I sat and considered ordering another but decided not to (I was already full). Then I considered whether I would ever take another trip to LA just for this parfait (spoiler, I would). I mentioned this to the waitress, who was pitch perfect by the way, and she generously told me all about the dish (yes I am calling the yogurt parfait a "dish."). I'll stop here as if you're reading this, I don't want to ruin your experience by overselling to the purveyor. This post is not meant for them. To them I simply say, "Try the yogurt parfait." To the chef and staff of San Laurel instead I say, bravo your simple delectable yogurt parfait illicited an unexpected emotional response from the cold heart of a passerby. Well done. read more

San Laurel - Yogurt parfait and bacon. A simple breakfast that shockingly provoked an unexpected emotional response. - Spanish Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I've been to many José Andrés restaurants over the years, and most have lived up to my expectations (small plates, high prices, good service). San Laurel fit the profile, but somehow I left unsatisfied. We started with the jamón Ibérico, which was an astonishingly small portion for $40. In retrospect, we should have spent the extra $10 for the pa amb tomàquet (bread with tomato) to make it more filling. The ham croquettes (also wildly overpriced for five), were OK, but not memorable. I've had much better for a third of the price. I scarcely remember the rest of the meal. The view from the terrace is awesome, as is the price of a martini. It comes in one those cute little coupe glasses that "nice" restaurants use these days. For $22 each. I would have had to spend $66 to feel anything. I'm glad I went, don't need to go back read more

Got to enjoy San Laurel a number of times during my brief staycation at The Conrad this week. I was incredibly excited to check out dinner service, as San Laurel has been on my list basically since it opened. Dinner was nice but breakfast honestly blew it away in terms of food and service. Dinner was nice, albeit a bit crowded on a Tuesday evening. The salt air margarita was fantastic with a salty, foamy top that added a little something extra to every sip. A very inventive cocktail from Chef José Andrés. The specialty Jamón croquetas were even better. Thinly sliced iberico ham on top of a perfectly melty, lightly fried cheese croquettes. Definitely my favorite thing that I ate during my three visits here. The gambas were good -- beautifully butterflied shrimp with small fingerling potatoes. Tasted good but was, in fact, just five shrimp and five individual small potatoes. More of a lunch portion than a dinner portion. I of course at it all, as well as a plate of chicken tenders and fries from room service shortly after. Breakfast portions more than made up for it. My first meal I had a wonderful bowl on congee and a side of the iberico ham alongside an iced americano. Absolutely delicious would definitely order this same thing again next time. For my second breakfast I had a plate of the olive oil pancakes and a side of bacon. The bacon was honestly my fault. I asked the waiter if the ham was exceptionally better than the bacon, since that's kind of their whole specialty, and he kind of hesitantly agreed that it was. Still I was feeling adventurous and tried the bacon anyway. It was good but definitely did not compete to that thin cured ham. The pancakes were also delightful with delicious butter, syrup, and a berry compote. read more

Absolutely loved my experience at San Laurel! Located inside the Conrad Hotel, this Michelin-starred restaurant truly delivers on every level. The view alone is worth it -- seeing the Walt Disney Concert Hall right from your table is such a uniquely LA experience. Dinner was especially memorable -- the seafood dishes were exceptional and full of flavor. Everything felt fresh, refined, and thoughtfully prepared. Breakfast was just as impressive. Enjoying the morning meal while looking out at the Disney Hall was honestly stunning. Whether you sit outside or inside, both offer great ambiance -- the outdoor seating is beautiful and relaxing, while the indoor space feels elegant and comfortable. Service was excellent throughout -- warm, attentive, and professional. This place exceeded my expectations, and I'll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend if you're looking for a memorable dining experience in LA! read more

Still a great choice for a meal before a show at the music center. With weather warming up, it's actually comfortable to sit on the patio with glorious views of Disney Hall. Service is always top notch from reception to servers. They excel at making guests comfortable even if unusual requests are made (our party had none, but we heard the table next to us questioning the ingredients of several dishes). We started with the always delicious eggplant, tried the peas for the first time, and went on to the gambas and lamb chops. It's so comforting to go back to a wonderful restaurant and find consistency with the ingredients and skill at every visit. Prices have give up slightly in the past year, but with the quality ingredients and professional service, this remains my go to for a meal before a show. read more

Inside the Conrad hotel in DTLA, this restaurant is on the 10th floor. As mentioned by the waiter, it is a Jose Andres restaurant. He is one of the premier chefs in America, and quite possibly the world. Beautiful interior, the funny thing that stuck out is there were stems and leaves in a vase. Seems a bit strange to not have fresh flowers, especially for a restaurant of this caliber. Open face omelet with XO sauce was the star! I highly recommend this dish. We also had their version of a standard breakfast and it was outstanding. The Turkey sausage was delicious and tasted like it was made in house. Pair that with the rustic bread and it was phenomenal. The hotel recommended that we make reservations which was a good call since the restaurant was busy. If the stars align, I'd love to come back and eat here again! read more

A Michelin starred restaurant is highly regarded and by far San Laurel came very close. Our server was well versed in the evening's menu. We came on a Monday to celebrate an anniversary. It's the kind of venue where people would usually like to go for a special occasion. The food we had was amazing. Each dish was explained to us as they came. Cocktails were wonderful but the Mai Tai had too much ice and hardly any drink. Food portions were on the small side so that was a bit of a disappointment. The flan and cheesecake for dessert were heavenly! The restaurant was comfortable and elegant. Overall, the dining experience was memorable. read more

We love fine dining and trying out Michelin rated restaurants. Unfortunately, we didn't enjoy our experience here. I had asked for a seating accommodation and the Hostess Claire made it happen. Thank you! The restaurant was empty on a Thursday night, which was a concern. Our server was Elizabeth and to be honest, she wasn't very friendly. She asked about food allergies and my date mentioned that she cannot eat mushrooms. Unfortunately, when the mac-n-cheese was served, it had mushrooms in it! The food was not good. We ordered the Stracciatella salad and it was too creamy. I already addressed the mac-n-cheese issue and it was just strange. The Lubina was pretty good. Overall, we didn't enjoy our dinner. Just seems like they are trying too hard to be creative with the menu. It's not working. One last thing, was the cost. We ordered a glass of Far Niente Chardonnay, and the cost was $45 for one glass! You can buy an entire bottle of this exact wine at a retail location for that price! read more

We visited for dinner on Sunday night, with a party of four, and it was a very nice experience. We had reservations and were seated right away. The place was packed at 6:30, but thinned out by 8 PM. We had a lengthy initial wait for our waiter, not sure why, he improved throughout the evening. Their margaritas and espresso martinis are strong and tasty. We started with the Iberico Jamon with the tomato bread, Fennel Soup, and Hiramasa Crudo. All were well prepared and presented. We then went with entrees; Scallops, Lubina, Duck, and Lamb.

We stayed at the Conrad Los Angeles this past weekend and were fortunate to dine at San Laurel twice! For lunch Saturday, then again for breakfast Sunday. Our food, service, and dining room ambiance were all to be praised highly. I'll first comment on our lunch shortly after placing our luggage in our room. We were served by Cruz, who had been our waiter at one of our other previous times we've dined at San Laurel. We opted for their pre-fixe menu and my wife selected their Grilled Lubina while I selected their Pollo Frito. These mains were accompanied by the following appetizers: crab croquetas, Peruvian scallops, Miramasa Crudo, & Heirloom Tomatoes. We added their tomato house bread as well. All dishes were spectacular but my wife raved about the Grilled Lubina so much, she said she'd order it every time we come back here! A+++ lunch rating!!! Next was breakfast the following day and we were served by Jimmy who recommended some dynamite dishes to us. My wife ordered their deep fried poached egg while I ordered their congee. These two dishes were probably two of the best breakfast dishes we've had ever! And we've been to Spain! Chef Jose Andrés has put together an amazing menu here at the Conrad Los Angeles. It would be a no brainet to dine here if you're a hotel guest staying overnight, but the food and service at San Laurel is THAT GOOD, it would be worth dining here even if you weren't a hotel guest. Everything and I mean everything went well at both meals we had here. We can't wait to return to dine here again! read more

Oh my goodness, did I love this meal!! My friend and I came here to celebrate, and it did not disappoint. Of course there are beautiful views, and it was a lovely day outside so we sat on the patio which was great. The service was outstanding. Andrea was our server and she gave great suggestions and always checked in on us. She has a great energy that we so appreciated. Now the food. So divine! We decided to get the prefixe lunches and we each got a different entree to share. The Peruvian scallops were delicious, and a great way to start: 9/10 The crab croquetas were the perfect crunchy texture on the outside with the smooth crab inside, and had a great mustard aoli dipping sauce that cut through the richness so well. 8.5/10 The hiramasa crudo was the standout. The sauce is SO good, I wanted bread or something to soak it up! I wish I could bottle that! 9.5 close to a 10/10 The lubina was delicious, very tender, the sauce really pulled it altogether. 8.5/10 The octopus with potatoes and sea lettuce garlic aoli and olive oil cargado was my absolute favorite. I just got back from Spain and Portugal a month ago and this octopus dish took me right back! It was perfectly cooked and the sauce really pushed it to the next level. You are supposed to mix everything on the dish, and below is a red tomato-y sauce that was beautiful when it coated everything. 9.5 almost 10/10, probably one of my favorite bites ever in the US. To finish we had the tarta de queso and the tres leches and truly they both were so heavenly. The basque cheesecake (tarta de queso) is made with goat cheese and you could really taste the tang at the end - 9/10 The tres leches was absolutely divine. They have a powder on the whipped cream that is so unique, I wish I had a bowl of just that. There is a hint of rose which I don't even normally like, but it went so well with all of the flavors, it really sung. 9.5/10 I love Jose Andres restaurants, they never disappoint. And I'm so glad we were able to try this one. We will be back! read more

Came here the second time for a special date night dinner before the LA Phil concert. The server was very attentive and shared with us the special. We ordered a wild mushroom appetizer that came with some crunchy baguettes. The baguettes are served to allow us to enjoy the delicious sauce. It was very delicious for sure. For entree, I had the special which is the halibut with the olive sauce. The soul of the entree is the sauce. I paired it with a glass of Sauvignon blanc. My boyfriend ordered the duck breast, which is very nicely prepared with the carrot fritters. For dessert, we shared the chocolate mousse with mint ice cream. What a satisfying meal before the concert. read more

My wife, friend, and I had a great meal at this super-comfortable, beautifully designed restaurant. First, we started with cocktails. My friend had the Pisco Sour (Achelado Pisco, lime, sugar and egg whites) and I had the Bergeron's Mai Tai (Denizen's Merchant 8-year rum, lime, orgeat and dry curacao). While both drinks tasted great, there was way too much ice in my Mai Tai. It was verging on being an alcohol drenched snowcone. For appetizers, we shared the roasted eggplant (mole, honey miso, puffed wild rice, lemon, pea tendrils). It tasted great and was artistically plated but the portion size was quite small --- just 3 slices of eggplant. The other appetizer we shared were the oysters with lime, passion fruit and sesame. They not only tasted great but they looked like they had tiny surprised faces on them. For our mains, my friend had the rack of lamb, my wife the gambas (aji amarillo and garlic emulsion, red pepper and potatoes), and I had the Lubina (branzino) with Donostiarra sauce, smoked trout roe, fennel and fine herbs). All the mains were delicious, well prepared with very fresh ingredients: fish in my case, shrimp in my wife's case and tender lamb in my friend's case. However, the portion sizes were on the small size, especially my wife's gambas dish. Plus, there should have been toast served with her dish to soak up the sauce in the dish. For dessert, we shared two desserts: flan and the burnt Basque cheesecake. While both were great, the burnt Basque cheesecake was incredible. Our waiter was very friendly and had a nice, casual demeanor, which worked in my opinion. However, he served the cocktails at the same time as the appetizers when he should have waited a bit with the appetizers. While I gave a 5-star rating, it's more like a 4.5. Food tasted great and was truly fine dining quality, but portion sizes were small for the price; too much ice in my cocktail; and a little pause between the serving of the cocktails and the appetizers was needed. read more

The fish really stood out relative to the octopus and crudo. Scallops came second.

Beautiful restaurant, beautiful view, but the reception can be improved. Host was not friendly nor welcoming. Not what I expect from a restaurant inside a Conrad Hotel. I got much better, friendlier service from a USPS store just prior to coming here. There was a relatively large event nearby and the restaurant was so unprepared for it. I could tell by the manager's tone that he got tired of having to tell non-dining patrons to stay out, basically. For a restaurant inside a hotel such as Conrad, I was surprised that you couldn't request a table based on your preference. It was my wedding anniversary and it was noted on OpenTable reservation, but it wasn't acknowledged. read more

We had an excellent meal at San Laurel yesterday. What went well? Everything with one minor thing. My sister had the lamb, I had the duck breast, both were perfectly prepared and the flavors were just wonderful. We started with the mushrooms served with glass bread and if that's the only thing we had we'd be happy, yeah it was that good. Cocktails were also terrific, my sister had the Flyer which I can't wait to recreate at home. Fresh honeydew juice/tequila. I had a pisco sour, also perfect. Dessert was mint ice cream with caramel sauce, worth gorging ourselves despite being full. Service by Alex and the whole team was really terrific, not a missed step. The only complaint I had and looking around I wasn't alone, the sun was right in my eyes for about 30 minutes. We saw people with their hands over their faces, I hope the restaurant will consider putting film or something over that window. read more

San Laurel - Mushrooms in cream sauce served with glass bread - Spanish Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Came here for lunch with some friends and I was surprised to realize the outdoor space that used to be in use wasn't open anymore. But I was happy about the bright and openness of the restaurant. We ended up doing the tasting menu and got to try each other's food. The star was for sure their Salt Air Margarita. I had never had it and I can't wait to go back for it. The crudo was excellent. Service was great! I just wish there was a slightly more extensive menu. read more

Had a great time dining at San Laurel in LA. This restaurant offers a variety Spanish dishes re-imagined. The restaurant sits on top of the Conrad, but the views are spectacular from the rooftop. The restaurant is open air and offers indoor and outdoor dining. I will say that I am a fan of the outdoor if the weather is nice. The hostess was very accommodating. As I waited for my party to gather, I noticed the extensive collection of Remy Martin, St Louis. They serve it from a huge museum quality bottle at $100, half an ounce. Not a fan of Remy, but I was impressed with the overall presentation. Dining was fantastic. I was made aware that it was Chef Andre' inspired. So many great meals on the menu. The waiter offered up the "Chef Experience". This is a Chef curated menu of the popular dishes. The whole table has to participate. I will tell you, this is definitely the way to go. There was no bad dish. From the prosciutto, to the soup & salad, to the shrimp, fish, lanb, and steak, there was no dissapointment. The prosciutto and steak were my favorite. That 26 oz steak did not let me down. For dessert, I had a mango cloud dish. Lite and refreshing. Adding a sweet note to close out the evening. This restaurant is truly a gem. Must dine in DTLA. read more

15-minute wait to be seated. No worries. 20 minutes until our drink order was fulfilled. Not cool. 40 minutes until the food came out. Unacceptable. While this restaurant might serve delicious food, the Conrad should not market it as a "Michelin-rated" experience on its website. Totally misleading, since Michelin is about more than the food on your plate. read more
