I recently celebrated my 6th anniversary and our dinner at the Laurel met and exceeded my expectations for a wonderful date night dinner. I had eaten at this restaurant months ago and was happy to see how their menu rotates with the season and their local suppliers, with an eclectic menu of wonderful items. They also changed their cocktail menu around as well. My partner and I ordered 4 dishes-- the spicy caesar salad, the haluski pasta with duck bacon, sausage rolls and wagyu skewers. The spicy caesar was crunchy and delicious with a nice kick of chili crisp. The sausage rolls were tender on the inside, while nice and flaky on the outside with a really delicious horseradish sauce that balanced the richness well. The portion was rather small for the sausage roll but taste bites. The haluski pasta was very al dente and has a nice denseness to the pasta, the creamy oniony sauce was delicious and the duck bacon added nice texture and umami to this dish. The wagyu skewers were my boyfriend's favorite dish-- very tender, with delicious sauces we savored with every bite. We also ordered the luna llena cocktail and false alarm cocktails, from their extremely interesting and at times out there cocktail menu (of which there is a caprese-salad inspired cocktail). The luna llena was very smoky and tart, and the false alarm had a spiced quality to it that was very seasonally appropriate. The cocktails were nice, but pretty expensive, however very worth trying. At the end of our dinner, our waitress kindly congratulated us on our anniversary and brought over a card and surprised us with champagne. It was incredibly nice and made the dining experience extra special. We closed out the night with a salted caramel creme brulee, which was deliciously caramelized with a soft slightly salted custard inside. Overall another amazing dinner here with obvious care going into the menu, ambiance and service.

My friends wanted to try out this new spot this weekend after hearing good things. We made a reservation for 8 people just a few days beforehand and arrived at the assigned time. Unfortunately, we had to wait about 30 minutes because the party at the large table before us was taking longer than expected to leave. At the end of our meal, the staff graciously brought over 2 unbirthday cake desserts to thank us for waiting. We weren't going to order dessert but we ate every bite of these! Funfetti cake with cream cheese insider and a meringue frosting. So different and just delicious, though quite sweet. I will happily pay for it next time I am there! The vibe of the place is adorable. I hear it's owned by 2 queer women, which we were happy to support. The wallpaper, the color scheme, the art work on the wall - everything is beautifully curated in a vibe I'd never have thought to do in my own house but was suddenly in love with! Our large party was in a comfy wrap around booth that also had some chairs. I will say my only negative feedback is the chairs have very small seats. Everyone who sat in one said they could feel their butts hanging over the edge and the women were probably sizes 10/12, so not especially large. If you were much heavier, I could see dreading those chairs. But the booth was study and comfy! Most of us wound up ordering the burger with the fried pimento cheese. Oh my gosh. Absolutely wonderful! Pimento cheese needs to be on more menus up North, but frying it to a crisp was a really fun change. The french fries were house cut and perfectly done. 10/10 meal. We also ordered the Brussel sprouts appetizer. They were crispy and seasoned well. I'd happily reorder everything again. Service was great. The waitress was very sweet and kept our glasses full. A 20% gratuity was automatically added to our bill at the end of the night. Everything was very clean and just wonderful. Totally recommend. We will be back!

Truly perfect dining experience. We started off with cocktails and they were each perfectly crafted and unique. The food was great for sharing. Most of the menu had share plates and they were all good portions for our party of 4. Stand outs were certainly the chicken wings (cooked perfectly crispy and flavorful) and the heart of palm ceviche (incredible flavor/essence of ceviche without the fish!). Our server was very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu she did not lead us astray. Definitely save room for dessert. It is not an afterthought here! I'd certainly come back here just for an after dinner drink and desert it was all phenomenal.

The Laurel and their amazing team were such a fantastic host! My best friend and I came over to celebrate our birthdays with a few drinks and shareable bites. There's a parking lot in the back to support the few businesses at that corner with an accessible handicap entry on the side while the front had a short few steps.l that faces the patio. We sat at the bar with high-stool chairs and were able to take advantage of the happy hour menu for the next 30-minutes after arrival. I enjoyed every dish we ordered! I got Gold Rush as a starter drink. It contained bourbon, lemon and honey. It was a sweet and lovely combination. I recommend this cocktail! Starting with chicken wings evenly coated with buffalo sauce that was not overly dripping. It was arranged and stacked like a set of dominoes on top of each other and garnished with beautifully sliced carrots, celery, and scallions that was tossed with dressing accompanied by a side of blue cheese. I love spice and probably quite accustomed to it so I could taste the kick of the buffalo wings without actually getting kicked by it. Even though celery is a regular accompaniment of this dish, the way it was served was unique! The colors also had a nice contrast making it quite attractive. Did the chef know what they're actually doing? Oh yes, I think so! We also asked for Hearts of Palm Ceviche. This is the first time I've had hearts of palm. It is very similar to an unripe jackfruit. The sweet potato chips that came with it is absolutely delicious! I can eat either of those two things daily! It was also topped with cilantro! I feel spoiled already! Ashely brought us their Spicy Melon Crudo and explained the whole plate to us which is supposed to be a watermelon marinated with gochujang topped with chili crisps, scallions, and I think mint leaves too. To tie in all the flavors, tahini green goddess dressing decorated the edge of the dish for a dance of flavors and not only for plating. This one is quite the delicacy! The Crab Tostada came shortly after and Ashley wished us to keep enjoying. This combination is an inspiration! The description says "marinated crab meat, nuoc cham, red curry crema, blue corn tortilla, sweet chili." I have to be honest that I was afraid to try this because I didn't know how the peppers were going to burn my tongue. Lol. It actually wasn't spicy at all. The corn tortilla remained crunchy despite the red curry crema sitting on top of it long before I made a bite into it. The crab was fresh and meaty while the fish sauce brought out a sweetness to this starter. The portions are well thought out. We then had the Wagyu Beef Skewers which is beef souvlaki with whipped feta. It was also mixed in with date and seed salad, and olives. Ahhh! It's so yummy! We were getting pretty full so we couldn't end the evening without dessert! Opting to share the Tres Leches Tiramisu, they also gave us the Unbirthday Cake. Thank you Ashley!! We both enjoyed your hospitality and cannot wait to come again! Thank you so much for the birthday cards as well! This will be a memory I will never forget!

The Laurel is an exploration of global cuisines. There is no set menu, its cultures woven into one dish ... truly a chef's playground, every dish has elements of Peruvian, Korean, Ukrainian, Vietnamese, Thai...and many more. Just what the world should be like!! "shareable plates, globally inspired, locally sourced" I was very intrigued by the menu and had to try the hearts of palm ceviche. But what blew my mind was the spicy melon crudo.. how did they turn a melon to taste like meat?? The cocktails were creative as well ... miso infused sake... wow!! And to end it all, the salty caramel creme brûlée ...was an easy 10/10. Highly recommended!!

Well well. This is a fantastic new place where the old Corner Pug was. They've freshened up the place and has a cute bar area with bartenders who make very fresh and inventive cocktails. We sat in a high top and ordered a few of the small dishes that the menu is filled with. The oysters were a nice selection. Then the tuna tartare which came with a light "cracker" to eat with the tuna. The carrot pakora had hints of Indian flavor but again felt modern. We enjoyed it. We also loved the truffle Spaetzle mac and cheese. That savory flavor with some saltiness. So good. And upside down blueberry cake was the peak of blueberry season. Great dessert. Service was great.

What a cool spot. The menu is very different. Definitely a good place for foodies as I'm always looking for something different. Started with the spicy passion fruit margarita and wow is that spicy! Very good. Most of the dishes are small plates so knowing that we got the fries, the cucumber and tomato salad, the spicy Caesar salad, and the shrimp tostada. The man also got the pimento cheese burger. Wow. Everything was great. My favorite dishes were the burger and the cucumber salad. The cucumber salad was a party in my mouth. Had a really beautiful combination of dill, cilantro, creaminess from Greek yogurt and crunch. Unreal. So different. Burger does not come with a side hence why we got the fries and you get two sauces with them. Garlic aïoli, and a vegan chimichurri sauce. I'd say my least favorite was the shrimp tostada but there wasn't a dish I disliked really. Love how they use local ingredients. The only thing that I did not like at this restaurant was how loud it was and it's not walkable to any other places so we just went downtown after for a drink but that's not a huge deal. Moreso the noise was an issue. The acoustics are awful. We would come back though to try more dishes as they are always changing their menu and I would love to try their "un birthday cake!"

We stopped in to the Laurel on a beautiful Sunday afternoon for brunch and cocktails at the bar. Parking was conveniently located in the back and we were welcomed in with warm greetings and smiles. My first impression was that the bar felt closed off from the rest of the restaurant, we like a few TVs, and decor on tables didn't continue into the bar area. The Simple Plan cocktails, and the flavor of the spicy maple syrup were the highlights. We subbed the original hash browns (pictured) for fries, and found the boneless thigh meat a bit fatty for our taste in chicken and waffles. For Tapas I look for that elevation in the ingredients I didn't quite find with our selections. But hey The Laurel is new and close by so we'll give it another shot for lunch or dinner soon!

We came here for a group brunch and were immediately impressed by the stunning decor as soon as we walked through the door. The service was excellent, the food was delicious, and the menu was both creative and unique. The cocktails were just as impressive--thoughtfully crafted and full of flavor. Overall, we had a fantastic experience and will definitely be coming back!

A great addition to the area! They've got a unique tapas-style menu with global flavors that are perfect for sharing and trying something new. The ambiance is gorgeous. Great for a fun night out with friends or a cozy date night. Every dish I had was delicious and beautifully put together. This place is definitely going to be a local favorite. Can't wait to go back and try more!
