Laura Kowalczyk

Great atmosphere - really beautiful inside, with a variety of delicious fine dining entrees and attentive, friendly service. They offer souffles on their dessert menu - be sure to let them know ahead of time as they take 40 minutes to prepare but they are well worth the wait. The restaurant is right on the river with an excellent view of the water.

First time here to this elegant resturant. Stacy, the host, seated us near a window looking out towards the city. We started with a glass of wine and a well made dirty Martini by Patrick. No appetizers this day. Our server was Mo. She was so good, and attentive. Her smile and friendliness added to a super night celebrating my wife's birthday. My Mrs had the Petit Fillet Mignon with mashed potatoes. She also had the creamed spinach. It was the first time I saw her "clean her plate" it was that good, she said. I had the Veal Piccata over linguine. Lots of capers and delicious flavor. For sides we ordered the Artichoke Au Gratin. You've got to try this one! Also, I always have to try Mac n Cheese. It was made with large spring pasta and definitely different cheeses. It was good. We finished with a Pretzel Brownie with Vanalla Bean ice cream. It was on the house for her birthday. All in all, we would rate this the finest resturant in the entire Charleston area. We love trying resturants over the years and have traveled extensively. This is one if those that fits into our top five.

Fantastic dining experience for my wife's birthday. Upon arrival we quickly realized we was under dressed, never being before we was unaware the atmosphere. Service was spot on, the cuisine was so flavorful and delicious. 10/10

I emailed the restaurant a week prior to the reservation, on their site, and using their info. I did not hear back. Mind you, I live in western time zone. My ask was to celebrate a birthday at dinner. The response from the hostess was that the person responsible for responding is also cooking, and she listed multiple other tasks. I’m so sorry, Chef Laury, that your business model doesn’t allow for others to manage these tasks. I’m also sorry my steak was over cooked and your hostess was less than customer-centric. Thank god you are small town.

Recommend you check this place out. The only negative that we had to say, while having dinner here, is that the bar tender didn't really know what an Old Fashioned drink should be. It wasn't prepared well and it was presented in a weird glass that took away from the experience too. Otherwise, our dinner was great and the atmosphere was great, service was great! The table side Caesar salad was a great show and was delicious. My husband had a ribeye and I had the Asian flavored salmon dish. Now that I think about it, I wouldn't recommend the carrots. The cut made the doneness inconsistent.

Jay D'Alba

Simply incredible! Stacy's warm welcome and Charles's impeccable service combined with world class cuisine - Saffron Scallop and Crab Appetizer, French Onion Soup, the PHENOMENAL Rack of Lamb, and the superb Gran Marnier Souffle made for an unexpectedly enjoyable evening!

Dylan Russell

Awesome restaurant! They were super jammed on Valentine’s Day and some guy threw a tantrum over not being able to sit at a bar that doesn’t have seats, the staff didn’t miss a beat! Imagine going to a restaurant on Valentine’s Day as a walk in and expecting to get a table?? Guy was a joke. Anyway, food was great, service was great, and the boomer side show was just delightful

Rosa Nardo

Very elegant place and atmosphere. The food was out of this world! Pictured is the lobster bisque, the shrimp, scallop and crab Diablo and the cheesecake. All of it was phenomenal! My husband had their filet mignon and it was tender and just melted in your mouth. All around, the experience, our waiter and our food was fantastic and well worth the price.

Jessica Von Weimer

This was our first time visiting this restaurant and we LOVED it!!! The food was phenomenal! We literally used butter knives to cut our steak..absolute perfection! It was slightly odd however that they take your entire order at the beginning of the meal but everything was timed out perfectly. I am crazy when it comes to timing food because I do not want my salad before my appetizer or my appetizer with my steak. They have perfected this. It is definitely an amazing experience and the atmosphere was superb. We will definitely be going back and I can't wait! I ordered the filet ordered medium rare, and it was great, perfectly cooked. The Caesar salad was a little strong on the taste of anchovies, but it was still good. French onion soup was great. The shrimp cocktail were huge! Also, a friend that we were with ordered a lobster tail and it was delivered off the shell, i wouldve ordered one had i known that! The staff were all very friendly as well, again, we can not wait to go back and we definitely can't stop saying all good things about this place!!

Peach

Dinner was fantastic! Service was excellent. All pro’s on Valentine’s Day. Watched the staff handle an old man throwing a fit, with grace, that he didn’t deserve. Walks in on Valentine’s night demanding to be seated. Doesn’t work that way, dude. Lol. We will definitely be back.

Megan M

My fiancé and I went at the recommendation of one of the locals. Thankfully they were able to squeeze our reservation in with relatively short notice. They did not disappoint! Wonderful service from Charles and excellent food. The escargot was our favorite 😊

Angela Katsavavakis

We came to Laury’s for dinner thanks to online search recommendations. We are so glad we found this restaurant. Beautiful location, in a historic building across from the river, with great views of it. Very elegant and classy restaurant, pretty decor and ambiance. The service was very attentive and not stuffy. To compliment it all there was the food, everything was made very well and tasted so good. Also, it is one of the few fine restaurants anywhere that still prepares table side dishes, like the Caesar salad and the banana fosters that we ordered. They have a full bar, a large wine selection, and several options for port by the glass. We were surprised that it was not overpriced like many restaurants at this level. We would love to come back!!!!

Halia A

Right from when we walked in the door, to when we were leaving, the reception, the service, the ambiance was spectacular. The food was great, not 1 person working in there made us feel irritated. We come from Canada 🇨🇦. We will be back to Laury's everytime we will drive through this area!

Laura Molnar

We are from Ohio and were just passing through, but our amazing visit will bring us back for sure. We stopped in for desert and drinks, on a night when they were packed with a large group and lots of patrons. We just really wanted to try the bananas foster (and they were to die for, by the way!). The hostess was so kind and helpful and found a server willing to take us. Our waitress was FANTASTIC. Even though we knew she was slammed with other tables, she had a welcoming smile and an upbeat attitude, and took her time with us. Probably one of the best restaurant experiences we have ever had. Thank you, Claire! You absolutely made our night! 10/10

Tijil Agarwal

Food is really good. We are rack of lamb, scallops and Cajun pasta. All were prepared very well and were delicious. Staff was extremely friendly and courteous.

Chase Pickering

Order your souffles first folks, they do take half an hour. Asparagus and steak was great. Scallops slightly undercooked.

Katie Corriveau

My favorite place to eat in the area. I love the crispy duck and wine selection!

Cindy Means

We just had one of the most delicious meals ever. The service was great and the food was amazing.

Maria Medvedeva

This is the perfect restaurant for special occasions. Good atmosphere, decor and service. The food was absolutely excellent as well.

Skyler H.

The food was good... Serviceable. It really looked better than it was. The menu seemed to be made up of things that should be "fancy." In reality, the food seemed kind of outdated and the drinks were a bit overpriced. The staff was very friendly and attentive. The experience was good despite the unimaginative menu

Marsha Metzer

It was a really nice place, amazing food! Our server was so friendly and did a great job!

Spencer Wagner

This was a perfect dinner. Steak Diane-5 Stars, Oysters Rockafeller 5 Stars, Lobster stuffed mushrooms-5 Stars, Lobster Ravioli 5-Stars. Service was exceptional, food was incredible, atmosphere was wonderful. Overall I think it tops my list of favorites. If I had died before eating at this restaurant I would have felt cheated. We do not live in the area and we were traveling. Ate here after we had got into the hotel earlier than expected. All I can say is I can’t wait to get back to Charleston West Virginia so that I can eat at this restaurant again.

Katie Neese

So elegant, the perfect place for fancy evening, but don't forget to call ahead.

Trish Treharne

We could not be happier with Laury's. The service is prompt, professional and warm all at the same time. And each meal is incredible with luscious flavor and presentation. When you want to be pampered, this is the place to go.

Kerry Ann Wilkinson

This was delicious. We went for our 11th Anniversary. We go all the time.

Ken Weinkauf

Amazing food if you're willing to wait. I called for reservations about 10 minutes after they opened and I still had to wait for over an hour when I arrived. But like so many things in life, anything good is worth waiting for.

Dakota Chirdon

Absolutely amazing. Staff was very polite and kind. Warm bread was amazing. My steak was cooked perfectly. The potatos were great. And get the brownie!!! That might have been the best part of the meal, and everything was absolutely delicious. Next time I'm in the area I will be back.

Michelle Jones

Laury's is the best restaurant in Charleston, WV. The food...the service and the location made the evening a wonderful experience! We were seated at a table with a gorgeous view of the river and the bridge...I wish I would have remembered to take a photo to post. Our server Richard was EXCELLENT...he really added to the enjoyment of the evening. We also had AWESOME cocktails by Hannah! The Hostess Shelly was super friendly and also we met Betty who we enjoyed nice conversation with as well. Kudos to the team at Laury's!!

Kim Ricketts

Historical train station converted to restaurant with a view of the river across from downtown Charleston, WV. Laury was the Chef for former WV Gov Underwood. Food was diverse and delicious!

Mark Shrewsbury

Awesome food and great service! This is the 2nd time I've been here. Last time was 16 years ago and the food and service is just as good now as I remember it. Very low-key and relaxed atmosphere as well. Great place to go to celebrate a special occasion. It's not cheap, but you won't get as good of food or service anywhere else locally.

Jack Luttner

My wife and I are in our 60s and this is a top 10 all time restaurant based on our travels in the US and Europe. Superb service from Glen with recommendations, perfect pacing and service. Tableside Ceasar for two, perfect MR filets and a Grand Marnier souffle ( order early with cocktails) reminded us of our anniversary dinners at the Jockey Club in DC years ago. No more flying from Raleigh to Louisville to see our grandson, we will be driving and staying in Charleston to dine at Laurys!!!

David Ladish

Excellent! Escargot, Scallops, Oysters, Steak, Veal, Sea Bass, finishing with a Bananas Foster by Doug! Great service and food from start to finish in a very comfortable atmosphere. Great Job!

Joel Callaway

A true gem for Charleston. White table cloth, great ambience for an intimate affair. Extensive wine list with all the necessities to pair to a very well presented, masterfully prepared and tasteful take on French cuisine. We really didn’t expect this caliber and we’re really pleased. All social precautions seemed to be in place. Large family group was sequestered into their own partitioned area. Our server was personable and not just in hover mode. Thank you for adding a memorable evening to our Charleston visit.

Mike Henrie

Very fancy place. It was a unique experience to have them make the salad dressing in front of you type of thing. Super expensive for my taste, but the portions are huge! The servers and everyone were sweet and professional. This is the type of place the Governor and Senators eat at. But it took 2 hours! Most of that was waiting for the food. A great place to visit if you're into the historic train and ferry station, though you'd not know it from lack of any historical pictures or decorations. If I were looking for a place to take a prom date or a place to impress my lady with how much she means to me I might bring her to a place like this, but I personally couldn't afford regular visits. But while I was in town, it was a welcome change from a place like Applebee's.

Cyn H (Cyn’s Super Savings)

You won't find a more upscale restaurant with amazing food to impress your date or pop the question. The food is is epic and cooked to perfection every time. Staff is knowledgeable of the menu options and ingredients if you have any allergy worries. The building is breathtaking. Not only will you enjoy amazing food but you'll spend the evening in awe of the building as well. Highly recommend taking that special someone for special occasions. Or if you just want an enjoyable meal and experience to share with friends and family.

Lynn Gunnoe

Always excellent food and server! My favorite!

Maria Maldonado

It was an amazing diner time on Laurys. Everything was incredible tasty . The people serving very kind and professional. From now and on my favorite place.

Jim Strawn

We love dining at Laury’s. Always amazingly delicious. Superb service. Food cooked on point. Presentation above average.

Jerrod White

This is the restaurant you want if you want quiet classy and romantic. Wife and I went for her birthday and I had the best steak I can say I have ever had in WV. It was washed down with a masterfully mixed and poured martini. My wife had the seafood pasta Diablo and was over the moon about how good it was. It’s more money than your usual “steak houses” up by the malls but you’re getting a way better product and service and will walk out with a smile every time

Jack Dotson

Felt very much like Downton Abbey as you walk in with the big chandelier. Food was delicious and the service amazing. My wife and I went there for our 25th wedding anniversary. We definitely made the right choice and will be coming back soon!

Blake French

Amazing steak and Amazing service. The restaurant sits in an old train station and gives has a very classy feel. Our server was amazing and I would recommend Laurys to anyone looking for a fine dining experience in Charleston WV.

Karen Lackey

A beautiful setting.We had the best server.

Susan Wilkinson

Took my son for his 19th birthday. He enjoyed everything. He starved himself all day in anticipation for the great food I told him about. Laura (our server) I hope I am remembering her name correctly was fantastic. She was attentive without being disruptive always giving us everything we needed to enjoy our meals and each other's company. The only thing I was disappointed in was my dessert 😢 I have to mention it because she had to get someone else to make it. I ordered Bananas Foster. It was so bland. It was just like eating vanilla ice cream with a few bananas on top. There has to be more to it than that. Or there wouldn't have been so many great reviews about it on here. I hope this review just gives room for improvement. Next time I'll just skip it though. Steaks were PERFECTION!!!

Dave Pogue

Laury's is a reliably great fine dining experience. Great food and a great atmosphere. I usually get the filet with a side of mac & cheese, and it's one of my favorite meals anywhere.

Steve Koontz

Food good. Service very good. Price expensive.

Thomas Panczykowski

I had a beautiful meal in a gorgeous dining room..The service was impeccable as was the food. I had the opportunity to see the kitchen, it is absolutely spotless. I have worked in many kitchens and this is by far the cleanest kitchen I've stepped foot in...Both the front and back of the house should be proud...I will eat here again..

michael Evans

Great food! And they didn’t look at me funny for wearing a dressier pair of jeans instead of slacks. 11/10 would recommend

Elizabeth T

Such amazing food and service!! Perfect for that special occasion!

Ron Grez

Incredible atmosphere! Had chicken breast with lump crab meat, very fair amount for the price and delicious!!!! Kara our waitress was terrific! Great personality and very attentive. Highly recommend!!

Richard Prather

My experience at Laury's was the most enjoyable I've ever had. My girlfriend and I have eaten here several times and our food has been impeccable every time. There is a variety of options on the menu to please everyone's taste and every dish is prepared to perfection.The atmosphere is also very relaxed and friendly, as is the waitstaff. I will definitely be visiting again soon. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a romantic evening or upscale dining experience.

Kimberly Edwards

I've been going to Laury's for almost a decade. While it's always great tonight was the best yet. My server Monica was OUTSTANDING! She made excellent recommendations and service was impeccable. My 9oz Filet was cooked perfect, my tableside caesar salad was divine, my appetizer, Escargot, was absolutely the best I've ever had and of course the atmosphere was /is so warm & welcoming. I've recommended Laury's for years because they just keep getting better with time. It truly is the Gem of Charleston & I've spent 38 years in the restaurant industry so I'm kind of an expert. Go & enjoy, you'll thank me!

Brady Campbell

An exceptional restaurant. Located in a historical building that is also a train station. The food tastes amazing and presentation is perfect. This upscale restaurant is pricey, but the perfect spot for a very special occasion. The wait staff is attentive and knowledgable. Simply one of the finest restaurants in West Virginia. Make a reservation!

Helen Sievers

Excellent food and wine! I had the grilled salmon and a glass of chardonnay, sorry I can't remember the name, but it was at the top of the list. The salmon was the best I had every tasted and so was the wine! Our server was superb! The place was beautiful, I would definitely recommend for a nice evening out!

John Principe

We stopped in Charleston on our way back to Chicago from Myrtle Beach S.C. We looked up places on line to eat and decided on Laury's. What a great surprise, we have dined in some of the finest Restaurants in Chicago, San Francisco, New York and let me say it was right there with all. Great food ,great service , beautiful ambiance. Drake our waiter was par excellance, with help from Betsy. Made us feel right at home in W.V. If we ever get through Charleston again We would not miss it. A real Gem

Kristen Ross

Classy restaurant. Beautiful setting. I was dressed nicely for the occasion but was disappointed when I saw people in jeans and a t-shirt. Large wine menu and full bar. Our waitress was wonderful but the seating location was awkward. (Half way in the room half way out in the hall/server area. Lots of seafood options which is hard to find in Charleston, WV.

Rae Pawling

For my birthday, it was a super special sweet treat to come here for dinner. We were served so well, I loved every minute. For an over the top dinner choice, I had the beef oscar. I can't even describe how the steak and crab mixed so beautifully with the bearnaise. I had to skip dessert!

Captain A

Came up to WV to visit friends and relatives. Went to Laury's and had a wonderful experience - beautiful restaurant, very elegant and well decorated, superb staff and, last but by no means least, wonderful food. We enjoyed it so much that we came back the next evening (our last on that trip) and had another memorable experience. I have only lived in the US for 18 months, but this is the best restaurant I have found. Will definitely go again next time we are up in WV, and can strongly recommend Laury's.

Kimberly Edwards

Our server Richard did an incredible job, very attentive to our every need and as always the food was outstanding. Laury's never fails as being a fabulous dining experience!

Tom Pinkerton

Absolutely one of the best restaurants at which I have ever eaten. While expensive, it is worth every penny. From the food to the service to the atmosphere, nothing disappoints. We have dined there numerous times and have always had an equally good experience. I would highly recommend Laury's to anyone!

cody wallace

The food was excellent. The interior was gorgeous. Though, what made our visit most memorable was our server Mena. Thank you for the great service.

Michael Griffith

5 Star Birthday Dinner with our neighbors. Five of us each had something different, and every meal was top-shelf. If your looking for an up-scale dining experience, you will find it here.

shane brumfield

Great atmosphere. Great service. Great food. Great dessert. Somewhat chilly inside, a thin long sleeve is not a bad idea. A little expensive but a worthy night out. Only thing I can really complain about is no Dr. Pepper. Haha

Dawn Heidlebaugh

We were traveling through from N.C. and was able to get right in. The wait staff was fantastic, we were lucky enough to have Drake. We ordered the portabella mushroom, goat cheese salad and the bone in ribeye with creamed spinach. It was all done perfectly. We will definitely be back.

James M

Best atmosphere best food and best server. Best place in West Virginia to get great steak and seafood.I cannot say much more then that from 2004 to now is how long I have been going there and let me tell you there is no other place that’s beats the quality of the food.

Chris Bailey

Decent place for fine dining. The decor is a little dated but the overall experience is good. The food and service are both quite good. I prefer the Bridge Road Bistro but Laury's is my second choice for fine dining in Charleston.

Matthew Doebler

A bit fussy and a bit expensive, but you probably already know that before you decide to go there. Everything I ordered was very good and my server was very nice. If I was in Charleston again, I would probably try something else (which is why I'm not giving it 5 stars), but I also wouldn't be disappointed if I was with somebody that wanted to go there.

Meaghan

Beautiful setting and atmosphere. I expected slightly more from the presentation of my grilled chicken and asparagus, although it was good. My salad and dessert were the most appealing, both visually and tastefully.

Miles Krompecher

Lovely atmosphere, exquisite cuisine, and the DESSERTS! You used to be able to have table side preparation for the bananas foster, but I guess that a guest might have been burnt or something along those lines, as the last time I visited, I was unable to have table side preparation, with the explanation of “they can’t do it anymore.” But, the bananas foster is still every bit as wonderful as it was before, and though food is expensive, it is all well worth the price. My one issue is that perhaps they could get some better noise insulation, as about every 10-15 minutes the Amtrak train goes through, and is incredibly loud. All in all, a five-star experience.

J.

Glenn was a fantastic server, food was excellent as usual. Nothing could have been better.

Ethan Adkins

Great food. Great atmosphere. Food service is slower than at most chains, but that's due to an attention to detail.

Bob Rosier

I took a friend who was visiting from Springfield, Illinois, and he was extremely impressed with everything about Laury’s. He said he didn’t know of any restaurant in Springfield that’s as nice as his Laury’s experience. We love to show out-of-towners that Charleston has class!

Dawn Stanko

Reservations are suggested, which we had. The staff were excellent, especially Drake who was spot on in his suggestion. We always ask a lot of questions of the staff when we eat out and he was great with his answers. :) The food was delicious. I started with the Shrimp scampi which was in a light garlic butter sauce and not drowned in it like some places do. I went with the suggestion of Salmon and crab and I was not disappointed. The Salmon had a really nice texture and kept it's flavor and the lump crab was rolled around an artichoke heart, which complimented each other. There was a light, and not overpowering sauce, to top it off. My side dish was a creamed spinach. If you like sweet wine, I suggest Ruffino Moscato D'Asti. I finished with the warm chocolate cake, with chocolate/caramel sauce and vanilla bean Ice cream, heavenly.

Christopher Bailey

Excellent food and service. Probably the best food, service, and atmosphere in Charleston. I wouldn't remove a star because it really is a great place but they don't answer the phone. They want you to leave a message and they do get back to you, but I had changed phones and lost my reservation time and was unable to contact the facility to confirm my time the day of my reservation.

David All

Me and my wife Jennifer have shared plenty of memories in this very beautiful restaurant. There’s so much I can say about this place but I’ll hit the highlights. We first enjoyed it here the day that I proposed to her she had the filet mignon while I had the risotto. Highly recommend the Caesar salad made table side as well as the bananas Foster served table side as a dessert!! Drake the waiter is top notch and knows how to treat his customers be sure to ask for him. The owner and the mattre “d” is attentive to all your needs and though we have never had an issue I assure you if brought to their attention it will be resolved in a respectful manner. If you are looking for a romantic place to enjoy a date with your spouse or significant other look no where else than Lawrys restaurants. David and Jennifer Allen 😁

Jonathan Peters

Our train was delayed on a Wednesday night. We wandered next door to Laury's ,and were treated to some lovely shrimp appetizers and a properly prepared Old Fashioned. The next time we are in town , we will definitely return.

Adam Wilkins (Anarin)

Food was amazing and the service was wonderful. Its definitely more of a pricier establishment, but well worth it if you're looking to have top tier food and dining. Will be back for sure.

Karen Pauley

Absolutely awesome service, staff and food!! Unfortunately, I didn’t get a photo of our meals but the blackened chicken with crabmeat and filet were amazing. Dessert was totally awesome and the wine choices are amazing!

Ronald Young

Excellent food, waitress was superb. Every coarse came out just on time to give a relaxing dinner. A bit pricey but overall experience was exceptional.

JC Baker

Best steak in West Virginia hands down,service was great!

Erica Barringer

This was a wonderful dining experience. The restaurant is beautiful, large but cozy atmosphere. Service was outstanding, food was amazing- best dining experience we have had in charleston- Thank you Lacey for making the amazing bananas foster table side!

Conrad carpenter

Absolutely the best steak I’ve had in this state. From the ambiance to the service, this place is IT! Very lovely place.

Rebecca Hall

Great food and service. The Beef Oscar and Blackberry cobbler was delicious ! Will be returning I'm sure.

Susan Hollis Clayson

Excellent food and the ambiance is also special. Service not as great, but still a Charleston jewel no doubt.

Ray Of Sunshine

Fine dining. One of me and my Husbands favorite local restaurants. The owner is always attentive. He always makes sure we are well taken care of.

JH Svensktyte

We had an overnight trip to nearby Yeager Airport for a corporate flight. Wanting to experience what Charleston's best had to offer in Southern classic cuisine for dinner, I asked the locals there what they recommend no matter the price. Laury's was at the top of everyone's list. So off our little 3-crew entourage went. First, the ambiance. It reminded me of a Southern plantation classic home on the inside except it was all open separated by different partitions for tables. It is a cozy feeling and it's hard to imagine this was once part of a railroad depot (still in operation on the other side). The food and service were worthy of a 4-star restaurant. We split two appetizers between the three of us: Oyster's Rockefeller and the Parm crusted escargot. Both were fabulous but as one who is familiar with the alleged original Oyster's Rockefeller recipe from New Orleans (Antoine's - talk to Emeril about it), I've never had a version with Hollandaise sauce before. It was an interesting take but I would have preferred a more traditional butter sauce base. For the main dishes I got the Beef Oscar (medium rare) and the other two ordered Steak Au Poivre and Steak Diane both medium rare as well. All three were more than worthy of their lofty $40+ menu cost and cooked perfectly. Rounding out the main course was a Russian River Mac Murray Pinot Noir. Only one had room for and ordered a dessert, the table side Banana's Foster (another New Orleans original). Again if I were blindfolded and just sat down in this place I would have sworn on my life that I was in New Orleans. Bottom line: this is a MUST DO if you are a foodie and enjoy classic Southern/French inspired dishes surrounded by a gorgeous atmosphere. One thing I noticed is that this restaurant is only listed as $$ in pricing which is far from the truth being a white cloth restaurant. It needs to be at least a $$$ rating as our three-person bill plus tax not including tip topped $230. Regarding dress, we showed up in business casual but saw several patrons in nothing more than long sleeve t-shirts which took away from the richness of the overall experience someone (we true Southerners like to dress up for a nice dinner).

Jonathan Whitt

Great place for a date night. I highly recommend the banana fosters. It was amazing.

Derek Blaney

Best steak in Charleston area and the triple chocolate cake is to die for

Kristoffer Johnston

Laury's Restaurant is probably the most elegant restaurant in Charleston. It's located in the historic train station in Charleston that offers beautiful views of the Kanawha River and Haddad River Front Park. It's also right next door to the Carriage Trail where former Governor McCorkle rode a horse and buggy to and from the old Governor's mansion and people can still walk up and down it today. Laury's Restaurant has a wonderful wait staff, beautiful decor, excellent food that is made to order, and even a small bar. They also have a convention room for meetings and parties. Laury's Restaurant is open Tuesday thru Saturday from 5 to 10pm and while reservations aren't required they are highly recommended because seating does fill up fast.

Alice Hu

Absolutely beautiful, fancy dining! Great for occasions. We went for our anniversary, had a lot of fun. Wait staff was attentive, salmon was great, highly recommended!

Sue Boston

Everything was wonderful and our waitress, Emily is very knowledgeable and did an amazing job!!

Brendan Bow

This place was great! Amazing bar, great service, and a perfect soufflé. Steak and seafood are great. Definitely fancier, I felt underdressed. I'd reccomend a suit.

Harvey Dawkins

Amazing 5 star restaurant nesseled in the beautiful mountains of Charleston, West Virginia. It's a must see place to eat fine dinning.

Boris Pelakh

Excellent food, superb steak in a beautiful old building. Service was good, though the meal is paced quite deliberately, so make sure you have the time.

Heather Pickens

Amazing food, beautiful restaurant, nice view of the river. Our waiter was Drake and he was amazing. Definitely will be going back soon!

Jon Messer

Only got dessert but it was a wonderful experience! This is a fine dining establishment so nice clothes required. Very friendly service.

Charlie “A-olive” Peretz

It has awesome food. I felt as if I was a royal eating gourmet food made by a personal chef.

Dena McKinley

A gem of a restaurant in a beautifully restored railroad station along the river. Wonderful menu, impeccable service. Get iff the highway and make your way to Laury's for dinner!

Ehteram Kazemi

Literally the best food, service and ambience I have ever experienced!! We are very lucky to have a restaurant of this caliber in Charleston!! The best restaurant hands down in Charleston and surrounding areas

Carrena C Rouse

Excellent food, service, and facility but very pricey.

amber atkins

Steak was average and they got rid of my favorite sauce. Service is great, but the food has definitely declined over the years

Joe

tonight feb 19th my wife and i visited this place for a late valentines dinner. it was absolutely fantastic well worth the price paid the waiter we had his name was larry if you go request you wont regret it at all with our work scheduals we dont get to do this much and this was a real treat.

Shawn McLean

Outstanding service and the meal with 5 star. Very good bourbon selection.

Abdullah A

Staff was great and so was the food, shrimp scallop Diablo along with scallops par fazi was amazing and had a very unique taste and flavor, very well done, probs are a bit tiny but nonetheless delicious

Dorothy Minch-Bledsoe

The salmon and veal were excellent, service was exemplary, atmosphere was lovely. Adding this to our list of annual stops in Charleston.

JENNIE PRINGLE

Love this restaurant and food!...great atmosphere. Prices are a bit high, great for special occasions. Service is always excellent!

Ilse Long

Our favorite restaurant! Amazing food and always consistent. A must for a great dining experience in Charleston!

Marco Torreano

Honestly did not expect an experience this nice in West Virginia... Top shelf service, top shelf food, a true five star experience on par with the finest restaurants from New York to Paris

Toni Holm

Conventional "fine dining" restaurant with lovely location and perfect staff. Although not adventurous, everything was excellent and the room is quiet, elegant and flat out gorgeous!

Laury’s dining experience was exceptional. My husband and I ate there while in town for a business convention. The food was delicious and the service excellent. It was fine dining at its best. The restaurant itself is beautiful as well. This was our second visit to Laury’s together and Lord willing not our last.
