Laurel tasting menu is divine. Som Kate creates the best cocktails around, while Chef Nick's concoctions delight the mind and the tongue. The tasting menu isnt cheap, but for an anniversary, birthday or treat yo self day, it's 100% worth it.
One of the best tasting menus Iâve ever had, and super friendly staff (Finn was a gem!)
This meal was absolute magic. We started with a cocktail (one of the best Iâve ever had!) before proceeding into the chefâs tasting with the wine pairing. The food was creative and delicious. Every wine choice added a new depth and dimension to an already phenomenal meal (especially the unexpected and wonderful cider that we started out with). We sat at the bar and really enjoyed our bartender who was knowledgeable and also so fun! One of my favorite dining experiences ever!
Another wonderful meal at Laurel! The menu portions were perfect, and the wine matched well what was on the plate. The minor changes to his excellent duck breast were a delicious tweek, as were the additions to the chocolate pudding. Professional and knowledgeable service from Joey complemented what was put on the table. This remains one of the best restaurants in Philadelphia.
We absolutely loved eating at Laurel and it exceeded our expectations!
Absolutely fantastic as always. My favorite restaurant in the world!
It was ok. Not what I was hoping to get for the price point. $60 for an appetizer of Gnocchi was a bit mind blowing.
Laurel is a culinary experience for those that truly enjoy modern and sophisticated cuisine. The ingredients are superb, the mixture of flavors and textures is outstanding and the plating is tasteful and well thought out. Laurel would have a Michelin Star anywhere in the world. You pay for what you get and Laurel delivers with every item that comes from their kitchen. Wines by the glass are excellent (which is rare) and well priced. Highly recommended.
We had an outstanding culinary experience. The menu of Nicolas Elmi could, should have a Michelin recognition. From the presentation to the taste pairings. Talented chefs require knowledge of food, ingredients, flavoring, dedication and in my opinion Passion. The narrow wine list could have more recognizable wines and vintages. It appears that the restaurant is promoting its wine pairing that we didn't try. However, the someliere recommended the Wolf & Woman Chenin Blanc from South Africa which was a perfect pairing as most of the Tasting menu was Shellfish. Slightly creamy with a medium acidity, nose and body. A good balanced wine. A great experience that I recommend.
Service, tasting menu and ambiance all amazing! Beautiful presentation and flavor pairings! Thank you for a wonderful evening!
