"If you’re a sauce person with a particular interest in French fine dining, Brasserie Laurel will deliver rotating dishes that showcase a mastery in saucery. Just don’t expect an actual laid-back brasserie experience. The very formal restaurant across the street from the Miami Worldcenter looks like it was designed by someone who wears a three-piece suit to sleep. So maybe don’t come here for a fun dinner, but do come for precise proteins, buttery sauces, and unique French dishes with hints of local Miami ingredients throughout." - mariana trabanino, ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo
