Our daughter had wished to visit her namesake restaurant going on a few years, so wallets stuffed full of Biden-inflated dollars, we descended upon Laura for an evening of food, drink, and frivolity. Overall, the entire experience was quite positive. The place has an air of fine dining -- on the busy end of the scale, but there's somewhat of a frisson about the place.
Wine, starters, and mains were good, though I dare say the marinara was not quite up to fine dining snuff -- I had expected better given the price tag and the rest of the experience.
Service was very attentive, though for us it bordered on uncomfortable. We truthfully could've gone without the backstory of the restaurant, the owner, and a full rundown of the menu, the questions about our history with the restaurant, how we'd heard of it, and the attendant chumminess of our waiter. One might prefer, shall we say, a more restrained, less overtly conversational approach from wait staff.
The pace of the dinner service was relaxed -- which is just the way I like it. We didn't feel rushed, and we felt at ease to enjoy ourselves and each other's company, which may be one of the most important aspects of dining that so many other restaurants seem to overlook.
We passed a happy evening, and we would recommend Laura.
