This is the 3rd farewell that I have so far in July, is this the month of departure?!
This time a group of 10 visited Lawry's, many of us for the 1st time. I've been trying to give it a chance before since my hubby is a beef-lover, but everytime I would get distracted and went to some other restaurants instead. If it wasn't for the host who made the decision, my 1st Lawry's encounter would not be made possible either. But I am glad the decision was made afterall
Lunch hours at Lawry's are quite quiet, perhaps COVA downstair is taking up much of the business. As you can see from the menu below, the price looks reasonable on the front. Perhaps it's American style steakhouse, I'd say the service is not as pretendious and quite relaxed, good for group gathering like we do.
Each of us ordered a lunch / weekly special set. You can select either soup or salad for starter. My Pomelo Salad was good, the tiger prawns were fresh (3.5/5). My frd's mushroom soup as also fair.
Most of us ordered the "HK-cut" prime rib, and we had a good laugh around it, as we've heard of US-cut or Bristish-cut, but HK-cut is really "unique" even at Lawry's, but after checking with the server, it's basically a smaller (4Oz) slide to accomodate local diners. The rib comes with yorkshire pudding, cream corn and mash. The cream corn was really very creamy and crispy. I got the luxury to share my frd's, I'd said the meat itself is fair, not fab, i've tasted better somewhere, but the sides were surprisingly good, the heat of the dish also helped scoring the extra points (3.5)
Onto my own entree, I had lobster tails with green curry, not only does it look yummy, the sweetness in the curry was quite intriguing and makes you want to have a 2nd bite. The lobster was fresh and well-cooked, the portion (overall on all dishes) was also fair. Blame it on my bias, although this is a steakhouse, I'd actually rate the curry dish better than the prime rib (4/5)
Finally on dessert, there wasn't any selection, basically everyone had the dessert of the day but it was fine, warm choco sponge with hot fudge, paired with a scope of vanilla ice-cream and whip, again hearty and wholesome, nothing pretendious. (3/5)
Overall experience was good, a place where you could expect from a traditional steakhouse, relaxed atmopshere and service, hearty food.
P.S. Citi visa enjoys 15% off on set menu.
Farewell is not something to be happy about (for most of the occassion), but the good food certainly helps in lightening up the mood.
