I never went to Lawry’s when it was in Causeway bay so coming to its new location inside Hutchinson house would count as my virgin experience :p
Service in general was a little sketchy and our evening started off with the hostess being unable to find our reservation name, even though it was just on the next page. When I finally pointed it out to her and things were sorted out in her own time, we were finally showed to our table.
The menu is only one page long, so selections are limited, but really you are here for the prime rib…
…but the lobster bisque is highly commendable too~ take it from me 😉 Super creamy with a full, rich flavour everything just perfectly balanced. I wish we had ordered one each rather than share :p
5 large prawns hooked around a martini glass. I personally prefer the prawn cocktail served at another steak house as these had a slightly unpleasant fishy smell, but luckily it didn’t transfer to the tastebuds. The cocktail sauce was a little light in flavour, could be punchier.
Every order of prime rib is accompanied by their ‘famous spinning bowl salad’ and you are treated to slight theatrics as your salad is tossed in a spinning metal bowl upon a bed of ice. Crisp lettuce, strips of beetroot and cherry tomatoes, really fresh, but the smashed boiled egg yolk melts into the dressing and gets a little overwhelming.
I had been eyeing the prime rib trolley forever, watching it as it was pushed from table to table and finally it was our turn~ We were introduced to our carver who proudly displays his huge gold medal on his chest as a sign that he has made the grade to specially carve prime rib. After confirming our order for the diamond cut- 750gms, shared between two he quickly slices off a big hunk of medium rare beef.
Look at that~ Really juicy, with the gentle graduating colour from medium rare to well-done and the vein of fat in the middle… That’s the money shot 🙂
You can choose your sides, though the mashed potato and big puffy yorkshire pudding is already included. I would really pass on the creamed spinach, not creamy enough with hard bits of bacon mixed into it, but the creamed corn ordered by the table next to us looked quite sexy.
Fries were good. All cajun-ed up, much much better than the mashed potatoes. So I guess just order your own sides, but again not the creamed spinach.
