"Downtown Culver has been waiting for a place like Laurel Grill since the The Wizard of Oz cast was hanging out at The Culver Hotel. With its warm glow and polished wood decor, this splashy “neighborhood grill” from the Laurel Hardware people looks like a high-end spa, though we can’t name many spas with a grand piano in the dining room, an open kitchen with roaring wood hearth, and a $22 wagyu hot dog on the menu. The crowd-pleasing food draws heavily from the Houston’s playbook, and that’s no slight, especially for picky studio execs who demand a good caesar and fries. Start with the gooey mozzarella cheese bread, refreshing mango-salmon ceviche, and grilled ribeye seasoned by someone who knows what they're doing, then finish with a nightcap on the fire pit patio." - brant cox, sylvio martins, cathy park, garrett snyder, brant cox, sylvio martins, garrett snyder, sylvio martins, cathy park, cathy park, garrett snyder, sylvio martins, brant cox, cathy park, cathy park, brant cox, sylvio martins, sylvio martins, sylvio
