My wife wanted to go here for our anniversary. She has never been and I hadn't been for 25 years or more. Good or bad, nothing's really changed since the last time I was here. The menu is basically the same. The decor is pretty much exactly as I remember it. That's good if you really like it. It's not so good if you like something more modern. Truthfully everything about this restaurant is dated. Ít feels like Trung tự impress your prom date in 1984.
The food is okay. Ít tastes good but not great. Ít looks good but not great. It's "okay". Unfortunately, for the price, "okay" isn't good enough.
I ordered the veal scaloppini piccata. At first, the capers were overpowering and the sauce was too thin for the pasta. As it cooled, the sauce thickened a little and the flavors blended and was much more pleasant. The veal was seasoned well and was tender but wasn't visually appealing. It's breaded but somehow came out grey.
My wife had the duck. The menu says it's half a duck. I've cooked plenty of duck and this was not a half duck. She was served two legs, a thigh, and half a breast. There was plenty of food and the flavors were good so, nothing to complain about other than the description isn't accurate.
She also ordered the escargot. On the plus side, they weren't chewy like they sometimes are. However, they were completely lost in the cheese mixture. I tried one and wasn't even sure I'd gotten anything but cheese and garlic in my bite.
I had the fried goat cheese salad which was probably my favorite part of the meal.
They offered us a free dessert for our anniversary which was nice. We picked the blackberry cobbler a la mode. If I were asked to write an advertisement for it, I guess I would call it unique. Typically, cobblers come in one of two types: a pie-type gobble which is fruit covered in a sweet biscuit-like topping, or a cake-type with a batter and fruit mixture baked into a most cakey dish. This was neither. This was a loose fruit compote mixed with what appeared to be dense, doughy dumplings, as if the chef cut noodles out of a pie crust and cooked it with the fruit. The effect was not pleasant to eat. Although I don't like an overly sweet dessert, the blackberries really need more sugar. Without enough sugar, blackberries are bitter. The cobbler was the low point of the meal and the only dish we really didn't like.
The service was good. The staff friendly and less formal than I remember from the past. Laury's has a reputation for being "the" fine dining experience in Charleston. That doesn't really come across in the experience, though. I would like to see them update the menu and the decor. They are a piece of Charleston history but, unless you really are stuck in the 80s, there are fine dining options in Charleston with better food, a more modern menu, and an overall better experience.

Laury’s provides a phenomenal experience every time we dine here. This is mine and my husband’s go-to dinner for celebrations, birthdays, or just when we want to ensure we’ll have an amazing meal and enjoy the ambiance. I recommend this restaurant to everyone for the ultimate fine dining experience. Laury’s is by far the best dining experience not only in the Charleston area, but I would go as far to say out of anywhere we have dined. Ever. We travel regularly and are always trying out new restaurants, but nothing compares. We have tried nearly everything on the menu and whether you are ordering their least expensive dish to their most expensive steak, you cannot go wrong. Laury’s is truly the best!

We loved the soft crab appetizer! Dinner was great as well. I found the filet Oscar too cheesy, but the rest of our food was delicious.

Service and atmosphere very good. Appetizers excellent (lobster bisque and crab cake);
Wedge salad very disappointing because dressing had almost no blue cheese and tasted like it came out of a bottle. Blackberry cobbler very disappointing; filling tasted like canned pie
Filing with very few blackberries and crust was not a cobbler topping but more like thin pie crust. All in all, a disappointment.

Very romantic place to have a grand dinner. Make reservations.
