We celebrated Piero's birthday at one of his favorite restaurants. The dineLA menu was a bargain as we got not only a nice thick slice of Prime Rib but it included a Lobster Tail. We all showed up earlier than our reservation to take advantage of the Meatballs and their homemade Potato Chips by the bar.
Shortly after we sat at our assigned booth, our server brought out a basket of their warm sour dough bread. If we were smart, we would not have touched it since we already had a few meatballs and some potato chips.....but we are not always smart. We indulged in the nice warm bread with butter.
We ordered a Shrimp Cocktail to share just to tease our appetite. The shrimps were big and plump. Our server came to serve us their famous Spinning Salad. I was able to limit my consumption of the greens in anticipation of a lot of food to come.
Our carver, Anthony came with his big cart. We all ordered our prime rib the way we liked them. We were offered a side vegetable and we unanimously had the creamed corn; the best in the world! As soon as we all had our plates, our server cut portions of the Yorkshire Pudding and gave us all a slice. I lucked out as Sandi gave me her portion. Just looking at the food almost made us full. As we were getting ready to attack our meat, the Lobster Tails arrived with lemon and lots of melted butter. It was overwhelming. I didn't know where to start! The lobster was tender and juicy and even got juicier after it got dunked in the butter. The prime rib was delicious as ever.
When we all thought we couldn't eat anymore, our server asked what we wanted for dessert which was included in the menu. The birthday boy asked for the Flourless (not calorieless) chocolate cake and the rest of us had the Creme Brulee. I asked that they burn the top since that's how we all like it. They did a good job in burning the top. There were no complaints!
Lawry's is always a good venue to celebrate anything or nothing. Who says you have to have an excuse to eat good food? Lawry's The Prime Rib is located at 100 N. La Cienega in Beverly Hills, California.
