Updated review! On Saturday, May 9, I had the opportunity to try more items from the menu, and I'm so glad I did. The food and service were spectacular! We ordered the lemon pasta with grilled shrimp, pepperoni pizza, Caesar salad with chicken, hot bread, and the delicious cheesesteak egg rolls. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. We also enjoyed an assortment of tequila drinks, and everyone was happy with their selections. A special thank-you to our server, Cassidy P., who was absolutely amazing. She was attentive, friendly, and helped make our experience even better. I'll definitely be asking for her the next time I visit! read more

Had dinner at Laurel Grill for the first time, and overall it was a great experience. I definitely recommend making a reservation, as this place seems to be very popular. The ambiance is beautiful, and I loved the open kitchen concept. The seating is cozy and creates a warm, inviting atmosphere. Our experience didn't start off great because the host was rude, but the manager stepped in, handled the situation professionally, and turned the evening around. I really appreciated the excellent customer service. The food was outstanding, and our server was exceptional--attentive, friendly, and on top of everything throughout the meal. The sushi was fresh and delicious, and the vodka pasta was absolutely amazing. I highly recommend ordering it. For dessert, the apple pie was absolutely incredible and don't leave without ordering it! It was the perfect way to end the meal. If you're dining with a group, I recommend sharing several dishes so everyone can try a variety of the menu. I'll definitely be back! read more

I met my friend here after a long work week. We deserved martins, and Laurel Grill has a really good one. I've come here and just sat at the bar solo, and it's a great people watching spot. The bar is pretty spacious so I've never had any issues with finding a spot. We decided to split dishes to try more options - margarita pizza: this came out very quickly after ordering. We were surprised how quick. But I really enjoyed this pizza. It felt like it was light, as light as a pizza can be. Would definitely order again or try a different topping. - meatballs: these were huge. And very tasty. 10/10. - chicken: we were pretty full after the pizza and meatballs, but the chicken was pretty good. I don't know if I'd order this again. I'd probably try something else. But it hit the spot. Overall the food is great here. I didn't like the baby screaming in the bar, nor the creepy guy staring at us from the bar. But sometimes you can't get away from that. read more

Sat at the bar tonight, the bartender was not friendly at all. We also had to ask for everything... more water, silverware, dessert menu. Also they don't offer anything for birthdays or occasions... not even a free ice cream?? I think they should up their game because that is kind of lame considering the prices. Overall the bar is fine because it's clean and the lighting inside is still nice. read more

Laurel Grill in Culver City is an absolute gem with a warm, inviting ambiance where every indoor seat is a cozy, comfortable booth. The service was top-notch, keeping the evening running smoothly from start to finish. I loved the hot bread, which was incredibly soft and tasted like a delicious pizza bread. To top it off, the spicy vodka pasta was perfectly balanced--not too spicy, wonderfully flavorful, and highly recommended! read more

Located at the top of the Culver City steps, Laurel Grill is a nice restaurant with lots of casual food options like hotdog, burger, ribs, etc. it's created by the same owner as Laurel Hardware & Ysabel. It's gets busy and even with a reservation on Resy, we had to wait 10-20 mins to be seated. There are lots of booth tables which I love and have me a little bit of Houston's vibes. They have all the staples you want from a "new American" type restaurant and food is good overall. They don't have an actual kids menu but offer kids options like buttered pasta and grilled cheese. The best thing I had here is the apple pie - so good! But it comes smothered in caramel so ask for that on the side if you're not a caramel fan. read more

Met up with some ladies here for dinner! We made a reservation in advance. This place was popping when we arrived, super busy. It's up above the culver steps. Pretty twinkle lights throughout, a nice ambiance. You can park in the lot right ahead of it and they validate parking so you get 2 hours free. Huge restaurant inside, lots of seating. Seating in the outdoor patio as well. There's even a grand piano inside, so I imagine they have performances occasionally here too. I asked the waitress what she recommended between the Asian chicken salad and the Cajun shrimp salad. She said the Cajun shrimp so I went with that. It's not inexpensive at $28. It has a nice presentation! It was good and had a nice mix of ingredients, hazelnuts, orange, and Cajun-spiced shrimp. Decent amount of shrimp on the salad but not sure it's worth nearly $30. My friend got the Asian chicken salad and the portion was significantly larger and it was cheaper. Curious to have tried that one out. We also got the chips & guac which were decent but the guac was a little too on the creamy side for me. Staff was diligent at refilling waters etc but they also had an air of hoity-toityness. I did like the vibe of the restaurant though. Good for business meals or a date night or meeting up with friends. read more

It was a beautiful day in L.A. and a rooftop lunch with a view was the perfect way to spend a Saturday. I was joined by three beautiful ladies - Laurel, Lynn, & Te-See. Our server was a delightful girl named Cassidy. She took good care of us and had a great personality. We started with cocktails to toast our friendship: It's Giving-Paloma, Main Character (a riff on an espresso martini enhanced with vanilla syrup), Inverted Vesper (a twist on the classic with elderflower & grapefruit oil), and a Grey Goose Martini dry with Blue Cheese stuffed olives (for me of course). The menu contains lots of mouthwatering options. Our order consisted of: Hot Bread, Meatballs, Smoked Bacon & Pineapple Pizza, Spicy Vodka Pasta, House Salad, Caesar Salad, & two sides of Fries. I highly recommend starting your meal with the Hot Bread, which is baked in a wood-fired oven. It's pizza dough stuffed with mozzarella and topped with a light marinara. It is addicting. The meatballs were served on a bed of whipped ricotta and topped with marinara and shaved Reggiano. The House Salad was loaded with fresh veggies and came with a mustard vinaigrette. The handmade rigatoni was al dente and the spicy vodka sauce had a good flavor. It could have been spicier but it was still delish. Lynn said the Smoked Bacon & Pineapple Pizza was the best "Hawaiian" pizza she's had because it contained fresh pineapple and crispy smoked bacon. The fries were yummy and perfectly cooked. The vibe on the rooftop was chill and the view was lovely. (I was happy to see a well-mannered dog sitting at the table nearby.) The décor inside is also quite nice with sleek wood paneling and an open kitchen. A commercial for Ariana Grande's Cloud perfume was being filmed down in the courtyard the day of our visit. We got to see a parade of bubbles floating by. It was entertaining and a nice ending to our wonderful get-together. *Validated parking in the structure for the Culver Steps. read more

I finally made it to Laurel Grill and had an amazing experience. The restaurant is beautiful and located in a great location on top of the Culver stairs. My mom and I sat outside and the weather was perfect. The service was fantastic and the food was delicious.

We had our family get together lunch at Laurel Grill on a Saturday late afternoon thanks to my brother who frequent this eatery and suggested for all of us to eat here. Thank you also to our Dad who always pays for all our family get together meals. He wants to continue to do our traditions even after our mom's passing. Laurel Grill provides comfort, ambiance, delicious food and meals along with excellent customer service. Love the patio seating and outside seating along with the indoor dining tables and benches. Thank you to our sweet waitress who made suggestions on what to order and checked on us a few times. At Laurel Grill we decided to order and try the Fried Calamari, 2 orders of Bread Service, Mediterranean Seabass, 2 orders of Rotisserie Chicken, Brisket Sandwich and 2 orders of Cheeseburgers. The Fried Calamari was delicious and crispy. It wasn't salty. Mediterranean Seabass was on point and wasn't over cooked. Rotisserie Chicken was flavorful and tender. Brisket Sandwich and Cheeseburger were plentiful and just delicious. We can't wait to come back to Laurel Grill and try other food items on their menu. Laurel Grill is now added to our list of favorites eateries to frequent with family and friends. read more

I had such a wonderful lunch here with fabulous Yelp friends, Laurel, Nikki & Te-see. It was a beautiful day so we opted to sit on the balcony overlooking Culver City shops. The interior of the restaurant is stunning with a grand piano, fireplace, asymmetrical angles and a wrap around bar. I'm sure it's romantic at night. I was also impressed that they have Toto toilets with all the gadgets and bidets! Cassidy, our server, greeted us right away and took our drink orders: Inverted Vesper, Paloma, Main Character (espresso martini with vanilla), and a dry Grey Goose martini with blue cheese olives. The martinis were bold, yet smooth while the Paloma was not strong, but refreshing. We enjoyed every dish we got: Hot Bread from Wood Fired Oven- their soft pizza dough stuffed with mozzarella and topped with a little tomato, basil and oregano. A great starter for two. Caesar Salad was evenly dressed over the fresh romaine and topped with house made croutons and shaved Reggiano. Nikki & Te-see got the house salad and that looked fresh and delicious too. Meatballs - came with 3 generous sized meatballs baked in marinara sauce and served over whipped ricotta. Very juicy and flavorful. Smoked Bacon & Pineapple Pizza- their version of Hawaiian pizza was the best I've had! Love that they use crispy, smoked bacon instead of Canadian bacon and FRESH pineapple, as opposed to canned! I asked for BBQ sauce on the side and thought it was perfect as is! The crust was thin too, just the way I like it. Spicy Vodka with house-made rigatoni- I couldn't resist stealing a couple bites. The pasta was al dente, the sauce wasn't really spicy but it was good. Cassidy took great care of us and even wished our friends a happy birthday. Just kind of wished she brought out a birthday dessert! There is a parking structure below the restaurant and they validate. read more

Came in with my cousin and decided to grab a bite before we called in a night. The lighting and ambiance of this spot is awesome. Went ahead and ordered the chicken Caesar salad with extra dressing which was a 9/10. Ordered a semi Shirley Temple with a ginger ale mix that was light and tasty. To close out ordered the single best slice of apple pie I've ever had since my duration on this planet! You could taste every little ounce of butter and God only knows what they put in that sauce! Last and certainly not least the CSA for customer service all star of this experience was server Victor-pictured. I would highly recommend this spot, and if you're lucky you'll get Victor as your server. What a true gentleman. read more

I decided to used my Amex benefit on Resy before it expired so I began searching what was nearby. I found laurel Grill. It had great reviews so I made a reservation and I gave it a go. Maybe going on Friday night was a bad idea. Even though I had reservations, we had to wait.... About 20 minutes. It was packed and very loud. I couldn't hear myself think. It has a nice sized bar tho. There's plenty of outdoor and indoor seating. Just not my vibe for a dinner spot. I ordered the sea-bass. Probably the worst sea-bass I have ever had. I actually asked the waitress did they give me the right fish. It tasted like trout. Thin cut. I like thick buttery sea-bass. The Philly cheesesteak rolls were good. Just a tad bit salty. Drinks were good at least. Parking was a hassle. The whole experience was exhausting. Will I go back? Probably not. read more

My experience at Laurel Grill tonight (first time) was awful. I thought it would be nice to take my partner there for his birthday - big mistake. I made a reservation for 7pm. Showed up right on time. Waited 25 minutes before being seated. I made reservations letting them know we were celebrating a bday dinner. No recognition at all. I wasn't going to fight it at the end as we already had a bad taste in our mouths, both literally and figuratively. Our waiter (whose name I will not name) was so inattentive. It started when we asked to have the heating lamp turned on. He forgot about us a few times before my bf spoke up again and asked him to please turn it on. Throughout our dinner experience, I had to ask to have my water be refilled several times. He just completely neglected us. As for the food, we started with the cheesesteak egg rolls. They were a 3/5 but came out completely cold. Then we moved onto the brie starter, which was not appealing 2/5. I was excited to try their pork ragu pasta and it was the worst dish of the 4 we ordered. I actually found it to be inedible. Definitely a 0/5. The only redeeming quality of the entire evening was the pepperoni pizza we ordered which I would give a 4/5. I was so excited to try this place and to spoil my partner, but it turned into a mild disaster and left me highly disappointed. I would not go back, nor would I recommend to any of my friends. read more

First off, I want to say the ambiance is out of this world and truly perfect. The second we stepped into the restaurant, it felt warm and welcoming. Kimberly and Isabella, the bartenders who also served us, were amazing throughout our entire dine-in experience and provided excellent service. Now to the food. We started with the Philly cheesesteak egg rolls, which were delicious. For the main course, the vodka pasta was truly the bomb. The broccolini was also flavorful and tasty with a smoky, sweet, and savory balance. The pizza I had was next level, a perfect combination of flavors with bacon, pineapple, and BBQ sauce. Everything about the experience was just right. I will definitely be returning and encourage anyone in the area to give this restaurant a try. I give it my highest recommendation. read more

From my first visit, to my last (yesterday), I'm so impressed with the consistency of service, atmosphere, libations and great food. The menu isn't an over-the-top either. Easy, tasty options...mixed proteins and tons of veggie choices. I have a tendency to over visit a great place, and I'm being very diligent to NOT over do it. But I easily can here at Laurel Grill. If you DO visit and not experience the "loo", you've missed something very special as well. Anyway....check it out!! I don't think you'll be disappointed. read more

I love Laurel Grill. The ambience, the vibe, the service and most important the food. Everything about this restaurant is amazing. We started off with cocktails, chips and guac and the spicy tuna tempura roll which I would highly recommend. The martinis generously poured and delicious. My cheeseburger was perfectly cooked and the fries were some of my favorite ever. My girlfriend got the lemon pasta and added shrimp and it was delicious. And for dessert do not skip their chocolate cake. Can't wait to go back! read more

Great atmosphere for a corporate meal or to bring friends and family for a drink, but ultimately the food is just okay. I enjoyed the drinks! It was still packed on a Thursday in the last hour before closing! I did have to wait a little to be seated since I didn't see the server at the front. passionfruit cocktail was delicious and would highly recommend! they said they just added this on the menu. It was balanced well where it's not too sweet and you don't taste the alcohol much. and it's filled to the brim. cheesesteak egg rolls were yummy and came with a nice avocado (?) dip. good to share with someone ultimately this review gets 3 stars because of the sashimi. I found it too salty for my taste with the salt on the fish and for it being in soy sauce. the fish is fresh which is good but for $28 a plate, I expect the flavors to be more balanced. fine for corporate meals and atmosphere but food for me was okay. read more

We came in on a Thursday night and it was insanely slammed but 30 min wait for those wanting a table. My friend and I sat on the only seats available the low table by the bar to have some drinks and apps. The fires from the kitchen give it such a cozy feel. I want to try so many things off this menu but will return with my husband for a date night! The outside had fire pits with happy people having drinks. We had the sourdough baked Brie bread bowl, meatballs and crudo. Everything was SO good and our order came very fast. Just a wonderful place for ladies' night or date night or a group you name it. Will definitely return soon to start checking off more bread items baked by the fire and the charcoal oven entrees! read more

It's our 4th time here. We really enjoyed it the 1st time. However the 2nd time wasn't as good for me. But I'm glad we came back as our 3rd and 4th was wonderful again! We came for lunch to celebrate a birthday which I have noted in the reservation. However, unlike other restaurants, there was no acknowledgement of it. Nada at all! They were also initially sitting us at a dark side of the restaurant and we had to request to be moved to a brighter and "happier" side. It was lunch on a nice sunny day so we want to see some sunshine. There was some resistance too about our request, but they finally gave us the table they were reserving for a "just in case" party. So as you can see, there is much to be desired when it comes to service. At least from the hostesses' side. However, I want to say that our server is really super nice and attentive! So she has more than made up for it. Hence still the 4 star! The Laurel House salad is fresh and refreshing. Hamachi crudo is fresh and delish, which we always enjoy here. We also got the ribeye. Its presentation isn't so good, but it was nicely cooked and flavorful! For sides we had the fries and wild rice. Nothing special about the fries but enjoyed the wild rice! We also had the pineapple pizza which we all enjoyed! For a special occasion, I'd recommend you celebrate somewhere else, where they will at least do something extra. Not necessarily free dessert, but at least an acknowledgment or a simple card. Just a little something for the celebration. Nothing much but it does make a big difference. read more

I had such an amazing time at Laurel Grill! This restaurant is located in the heart of Culver's city and situated in prime location where you can take in the views of the beautiful city. Once you find parking, you can guide yourself up the steps of the square and Laurel Grill is situated at the top. First off, this restaurant is beautiful and has a very classy feel to it. When you first approach, you see that the restaurant has an open concept where attendees can sit on the patio or take themselves inside the cozy restaurant. I was greeted by the lovely staff who upon request, sat me outside. I didn't have reservations but I didn't have an issue getting a table. I absolutely loved the view from the patio and was happy I could people watch. For food, myself and my guest chose a few appetizers which were all delicious. We ordered the make your own hand roll, the meatballs, the bread and the Cesar salad with chicken. Everything was so tasty and I can't wait to come back to try the whole menu. I will definitely be back! read more

We came here for the food. We ordered the ribeye. That was delivered really well, with good flavor and doneness to my liking. Also had their salad, pizza, carpaccio. Could not complain at all! All were good! Tbh, the waitstaff was excellent. The story goes, twas celebrating a special day and wifey reserved as such even writing it in the comment that there was a celebrant. But no acknowledgment when we got there. Most places would make an effort to greet, write a note, or just surprise ya. Here, oblivion. Before seating us, we had requested for a better seat respectfully since we were early enough and the seat given was slightly dark area with no direct sun or window. Felt sad and requested to be moved but it took finagling before they finally agreed. I digress. We've been here a few times and we enjoy it here. Just wish it gave us a better vibe with this visit, especially as a celebrant day. Anyhoo, would still come back when time permits. Hope all my future experiences here will be more pleasant and consistent and keep serving up good meals. Would I recommend? Yes, the food and ambiance. Service can be better. And just wish somebody can tickle the piano since nobody does every single time we have been here and we were told nobody does at any time. read more

Came here for a business lunch / business dinner both times, which is why I have no pictures to accompany my review, however; picturesque is the correct description of Laurel Grill. Atop the Culver Stairs, this spot has incredible ambiance, especially in the evening when it cools off and folks want to wind down after a long day. I must say that the service both times I've gone has been incredible. From the host stand to the servers, everyone is genuinely kind and helpful, enriching the experience. But you wanna know what I think about the food! I had the chicken and mushroom wontons last time I was there, and they were delicious as an app! It was the sea bass that stole the show, though. So flavorful and the sides were awesome as well. Honestly, this is a great spot for a business meal, a date night, or a catch up with friends. The drinks are tasty, the food has been good both times I've gone, and they don't skimp on portion. I'll be back! Next time, I'll take pics. read more

The location and design of this restaurant is gorgeous. It has great views of downtown Culver City and during the holidays when my friend and I went it was very pretty all around. It gives off a very Hillstone property vibe. The service was very good and very attentive. The menu was fairly broad and you had a lot to choose from. I had steak (ok) and potatoes (not great) with a side of the pasta and my friend had the fish. We both thought the food was fine. Nothing really special. The dessert was probably our favorite course because it had a somewhat unique flavor profile that we look for. Other than that, nothing very memorable, except for when my friend went to the restroom and came back and announced that this was the best restroom she'd ever been to in all of Los Angeles. Apparently, they are quite impressive with all the bells and whistles. read more

The bread cheese special was absolutely great, it was recommend my the serve and did not disappoint. The culver spicy vodka (added the shrimp) and it was a perfectly creamy and flavorful. In addition, ordered the Lemon pasta (added grilled salmon) it was delicious as well.

Ordered the Cajun shrimp salad and it was great! Although a tad on the pricier side, you do get extremely fresh avocados, juicy shrimps, and mandarin oranges. I also tried their fresh squeezed watermelon juice which was soo refreshing! The service was great and seated me promptly. The interior was nice and cozy although it's a shame they don't seat larger parties of 6 or more. They usually have plenty of seating so no reservations needed, but you can always call to make one. They have some pies for desserts, but was already so full from the hearty salad! read more

TLDR: vibes immaculate, food average at best Sat outside and the vibes were amazing. Fires going and nice evening and I could bring my dog! Service was incredible. Staff was so nice and patient! Food: lots of options and a good variety but everything I ate was just okay. Pepperoni pizza: 7/10 Dough was good but a bit burned. I don't know how to describe this other than bland. Maybe it was the sauce but was just kind of okay. Cheesesteak spring rolls: 8.5/10 Unique! Full of vegetables too. The sauce was good. They were soggy though. Lacked a crisp completely. Lemon pasta: 5/10 I love a lemon pasta but this one was lemony it was sour. You got sick of the flavor so quickly. The pasta also was fully clumpy and stuck together. It was like taking bites of chunks. Bacon wrapped dates: 8/10 Unique and tasty but not as much of a flavor bomb I wanted it to be. Overall, all stars for the vibes and service. read more

We had a really nice experience overall at Laurel Grill in Culver City. It was a busy Friday night, and the wait was about 45 minutes, which felt pretty reasonable given how packed it was. The food definitely made it worth it. We ordered the salmon and the spicy vodka pasta, and both dishes were delicious well-prepared, flavorful, and satisfying. The only downside was the seating. We were placed right in the corner near the entrance, and there was someone waiting for a table standing very close by, right next to me, which made the space feel a bit cramped and less comfortable than we would have liked. That said, the quality of the food and the overall vibe were great. With a bit more attention to seating, this would easily be a top-tier experience. Especially because of the location. I live 10 minutes away and it is 2nd floor of the steps so it's pretty nice. read more

My friends and I chose Laurel Grill for our book club dinner last Friday and wow... what an unexpectedly fantastic spot! I did not even know this restaurant existed until a friend suggested it and now I'm already planning my next visit. Even in the pouring rain, it was worth leaving the house for. Located right at The Culver Steps, the restaurant is conveniently located and yes, they even validate parking. We kicked things off with the stuffed bread, which my friend perfectly described as miniature personal stuffed pizzas. SO good. I ordered a mocktail...I think it was called the Gangster(?) and it paired beautifully with my entree: the gnocchi. I'm a gnocchi girl through and through (no, like literally) and this dish was delicious. Honestly, the menu was full of things I wanted to order... choosing just one was challenging for me! My friends enjoyed cocktails and then wine, and we all devoured our meals so quickly that dessert was in my future. I don't typically go for dessert, but on this evening, at this restaurant, the berry pie a la mode piqued my interest immediately. Smooth, warm, bright, and just perfect with a fully caffeinated coffee (I had to get home to quilt, of course!) Laurel Grill is officially on my Culver City favorites list for its great food, welcoming atmosphere, adequate service (just a minor hiccup), and a perfect place for a cozy dinner, rain or shine. Highly recommend! read more
