About San Laurel
San Laurel occupies the 10th floor of the Conrad Los Angeles, a Spanish restaurant on S Grand Ave where floor-to-ceiling windows face the Walt Disney Concert Hall and trees stand under the high ceilings of the dining room. The kitchen works from Spanish roots in a tapas-style format, with plates such as Gambas a La Zahara, Grilled Lubina and Jamon Iberico De Bellota among roughly 15 dishes, and octopus, scallops and Basque cheesecake also turn up on the list. Guests order a la carte or take the multi-course tasting menu. The day starts with breakfast and brunch, which finishes in the late morning before a lunch menu takes over, and cocktails run alongside coffee drinks including a honey oat latte. Valet parking handles arrivals, and dogs are welcome. The restaurant opens daily, and dessert extends to a Strawberry Pistachio Cake.

Customer Review Summary
The gambas draw the most repeat attention, praised for very fresh prawns in a tangy, slightly spicy sauce carrying a touch of shrimp shell flavor. Close behind sit the tapas, described as beautifully plated and thoughtfully composed, with diners also singling out tender octopus with baby potatoes, scallops and sea bass, a vermicelli mac and cheese with char grilled mushrooms generous enough to serve as a main, fried chicken in furikake buttermilk sauce, and a breakfast congee one guest was still thinking about. The tenth floor setting comes up often, with high ceilings, floor to ceiling windows and direct views of the concert hall across the street. Value is the recurring reservation: two reviewers found the tasting course overpriced for what arrived, one suggesting ordering a la carte instead. Another describes asking to swap an overly sweet Basque cheesecake and getting a dismissive reply, that everything else would be sweeter, and simply giving up on dessert.

“Had breakfast here during our stay at the Conrad, and I’m not kidding when I say I’m still thinking about that congee. 🥲 Everything was so fresh and delicious! The service was great, the atmosphere was lovely, and the overall dining experience was fantastic. Plus, we only spent about $250 including tip, which felt like a great value for the quality and experience. Would absolutely come back! ✨🍽️”

“I’ve been here 3 times. All pre-theater dinner. Though it’s inside the Conrad hotel it is easy to access. With the high ceilings, trees and floor to ceiling windows the ambience is bright and airy with direct views of the Walt Disney …”

“The view is absolutely amazing and the food did not disappoint. The octopus was perfectly cooked and very tender, the baby potatoes were delicious, and the honey oat latte was surprisingly good and well balanced. We were originally there for brunch, but it ended at 11:30am, so we ordered from the lunch menu instead and still had a great experience. The service was very attentive without feeling intrusive, and I would definitely come back to try the brunch menu next time.”

“When you have a great location like across from the best concert hall in the US and perhaps the world, you need to bring it. Chef Andres does just that 10 stories up in the Conrad Hotel. You think you get every dish when you read it on the menu, or at least most, but then when you get it and eat it it’s a whole different thing. Ever wondered what impeccably fried chicken would taste like with a furikake buttermilk sauce? Wonder no more! It’s amazing. How about the best lox on a piece of toast you’ve ever had? Sounds easy and simple but here it’s a different level. Really amazing food, drinks, service and view. It really is a destination that shouldn’t be missed if you’re visiting downtown LA.”
