My husband and I dined at St Lawrence last night for the first time. We were very impressed and will definitely go back! The food was fabulous, as was the service. We had the lucky "misfortune" of reserving too late to get a table so had to "settle" for eating at the bar; what a wonderful fate! We got to watch the chef/owner as well as all of the kitchen staff up close and personal as they prepared food in a beautifully choreographed ballet. Highly recommend this place.
I had the most beautiful experience at St. Lawrence! The food in itself was amazing; however, the service aspect of it was really what made the evening for me. We had the terrine of the day, pomme paillason, duck and tarte au sucre. All of it was so so amazing. I was dining at Chambar for brunch when our lovely server (Tommy) let us know he was working that evening at St. Lawrence - my experience at Chambar was amazing and since I was wanting to check St. Lawrence out anyway, it was the perfect opportunity to go. We were welcomed to St. Lawrence and the room was just stunning. Our server for the evening (Kareem) was a delight to talk to and he took great care of us at the bar. Tommy came by and had conversation with my friend and I and really made us feel welcomed and appreciated in that space. As we were leaving, a member of their team even called a cab for us. All in all, the hospitality and food made for a beautiful evening, I couldn't recommend it enough.
The food is delicious, the portion sizes are appropriate (not too big, not too small), the staff is friendly and knowledgeable, the space is pretty and inviting. We loved our dinner and will definitely recommend it to our friends.
The only downside is it was very loud - I often couldn't hear my companions talking. Also, the timing between courses was a bit erratic. It took way too long between our finishing our appetizer and the main course arriving (30 minutes maybe?), but then the dessert arrived less than 5 minutes after we ordered it. But those are quirks that I'm sure will be ironed out as the kitchen and front of house get settled in.
