As the name suggests, prime rib is the star at Lawry’s The Prime Rib. At this unpretentious dining spot, it is offered in a variety of cuts for different tastes and appetites, from the smaller California cut to the extra-thick “Diamond Jim Brady” cut. Housed in the 1896 English manor-style McCormick Mansion, the restaurant exudes a stately feel, with hardwood furnishings, opulent chandeliers, a grand staircase, and a pair of brass lions outside the main dining area.
