In a city famous for low-price prime-rib specials, Lawry's is a refined, art deco-style palace dedicated to the pursuit of excellence in the guise of slow-roasted, aged rib roasts. The dining room, with hardwood floors and plush banquettes, is staffed by waitresses in 1930s-style uniforms and by white-clad carvers, who roll gleaming domed silvery carts up to your table. Atlantic lobster tails and a daily fresh-fish entrée are quite good, too. The constant line of fancy cars outside the front door attests to Lawry's popularity with movers and shakers.
