My friends and I ritualistically take each other to Lawry's for our prospective birthdays. They don't take reservations, but the bar area is beautiful and they have complimentary freshly cut potato chips and meatballs (yum), but don't fill up because dinner is always the same - perfect. Love that horseradish cream sauce for the meat, occasionally I will get a lobster tail, too. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. Tell them when you are seated that it's your birthday and they may bring you a free dessert, too.
