Best Restaurants for Quiet Conversation in Arboretum

The Brussels sprouts are DIVINE …. The chef made my chicken dish without goat cheese for me and it was perfection … and so was their attitude for my request … which made it a top rated night Thank you to Kristin and everyone Also grand crafted highballs of excellencee.

Me, my husband, and mother in-law came here during the thanksgiving holiday and enjoyed our meal. It was quiet enough to hear your conversation and not feel like you had to yell to hear anyone at your table. The staff were attentive and kind.

Delicious food and great service from very pleasant people!

First time visit to help friend celebrate a birthday with happy hour bubbly and charcuterie board in the Laurel indoor lounge adjacent to main dining room. Well done with Italian cheeses and meats, olives, marcona almonds, fig preserves and crackers, and crudite. Take 4 or more people with you or plan to take some back to hotel room or home. Stayed for dinner in well lit main dining room of Laurel. Simo, waiter, was a very attentive but in the background server, reminding me of fine server experiences in Dallas at the Mansion restaurant there. On hearing of a celebration, Simo surprised us by bringing roses in a vase for the table. We noticed he also brought out a floral arrangement for another dining party celebrating something that evening. Memorable nice touch! Shrimp in pasta dish were large and tasty. Brussels sprouts were delightfully crisp with sweet finish. Unexpected star of the evening was the light pistachio sponge cake with berries in decorated plate. Enjoyable evening. Couldn’t wait to try breakfast the next morning. (Will later try to upload photos but having trouble with app. 🤞)

Some unusual different/combinations - e.g. duck reuben sandwich. Good food - good service Out of homemade sorbet :(
