Prime downgrade due to not listing your Shrimp as lower quality "Farmed" nor the Country of Origin. Only upon questioning Laurel AFTER consumption were we informed not being the exclusive "Wild Caught. Those are triple in price! Since when does tgat matter? Quality only should natter…

If you do not mind 'Farmed Shrimp', go for it. Not listed as 'Farmed', but always should be. 'Farmed' is IMO a downer as I will prefer eat 'Wild Caught' i/o mostly imported from Asia. Otherwise great food & service - Great Atmosphere & totally worth the quick drive from our Utopia Cabin!

Had a super memorable time here in July of 2015! We sneaked our Pomeranian puppy into the restaurant and no one ever knew! Scandalous! ;-)

It's so beautiful! The food was outrageous! The best service. Go experience it for yourself, I highly recommend it.

I was told about this restaurant and looked forward to this experience for a number of months. We were celebrating two birthdays, and although the ambience and service were acceptable…the food was just plain disappointing. The chef advertised her menu and experience as a coursed meal yet none of the food was cohesive and felt as if it was thrown together last minute with no thought or care. Most of the meal tasted as if it was heated up frozen food, or leftover product that needed to be used. We also spoke with staff beforehand about a gluten allergy, and reminded them when we were seated but it still did not seem to be taken seriously or have any thought put into replacements. Out of the five people in our party, none of us were satisfied or happy with our meal and experience. As the chef was making her way around the tables towards the end of the meal, she noticed we didn’t really eat our food but did not ask or seem to care why. Taking into consideration the price of the meal, I would not feel okay giving this review more than 1 star. I give the service 3 stars, and the meal a 0 if I could. I will not be coming back or recommending this restaurant.

Wonderful restaurant and experience, fine dining in the beautiful TX hill country, where you don't have much other option besides bbq and diners. Delicious food. Extremely friendly and accomodating owner and staff, beautiful dining room and property, I highly recommend and can't wait to go back next time we're in the hill country.

Our group of women went for dinner Saturday night and had a wonderful time. Food and atmosphere and service was absolutely wonderful! One of the women had a gluten-free allergy and the chef accommodated her beautifully! Highly recommend the experience!

If you’re looking for a special, quaint, lovely and superior dining experience, The Laurel Tree has it all. The Laurel Tree has beautiful, quaint ambience with an amazing, one of a kind menu. Chef/Owner completes “table touches” which makes the most unique and memorable overall experience. The menu features flavorful dishes which marries well throughout every course. 5-Star rating!!! Kudos to Chef/Owner, Laurel Waters and her fantastic team!
Laurel Tree is beautifully decorated!! Service is good. Lunch meal was disappointing at $57!!

Delicious, delicate, & well crafted gourmet food in the Hill Country. The chef is a true artist, but more importantly, she visited every single table. The experience felt very personalized. It’s absolutely worth the drive from any of the major cities in Texas. Make sure to plan the visit because you have to make reservations.
