Lafayette Miami

Happy Hour had a $10 Grey Goose Martini… ummm can’t go wrong with that! Small bites looked appetizing and well be back for those soon! The ambiance was very “Miami” with splash of art deco & dim lights alongside bold and dramatic velvet interiors with a tropical touch. A great place to eat out for a celebration - the vibe was high-end yet romantic. We had the Tomahawk steak and it was cooked perfectly, the sauce was a pair made in heaven. We opted for the Truffle Mac & cheese and pistachio broccolini which also cooked perfectly - crispy on the outside and tender and juicy at the center. We came just for this special at $150 and SO glad we did. We had been big Perry’s Steakhouse fans in the past but this place outdid them by far. The presentation of the steak rolled out on a silver cart then sliced table side was a nice featured experience! Service was lovely by a young lady named Marie, many French servers and mangers made me think the food must be exquisite…. It sure was! we went on a Wednesday evening and the seating was about 40% full which was just what we wanted at the center of the hustle and bustle of busy downtown Miami! We were looking for something special but without the crowds and crazy. We really enjoyed this spot and Highly recommend it!

This place blew me away! I’m not exaggerating when I say the filet mignon I had here had the best crust I’ve ever tasted …. better than anything I’ve had in the US, Europe, Argentina, or Brazil. Juicy, perfectly cooked, and packed with flavor in every bite. I started with the Octopus Bruschetta, which was tender, flavorful, and a perfect opener before the main event. I sat at the bar, and Guy, the bartender, made the experience even better. He was incredibly knowledgeable about both the cocktail list and the menu, gave great recommendations, and really elevated the whole dinner with his service and attention. The atmosphere is stunning, the drinks are on point, and the food is seriously top tier. If you’re a steak lover, this place is a must. I’ll absolutely be back!!

We had an amazing night with our friends at Lafayette! The service was impeccable (thank you to Maria and the entire team). The DJ played great music that wasn’t too loud. The atmosphere is very sophisticated, and the food is classic but better than anything any of us had tried before. Truly a great night! Highly recommend this place!

Had a lovely dinner at Lafayette and was genuinely impressed with most of what we tried. The standout dish for me was the sea bass perfectly cooked, tender, and flavorful. It was paired with carrots in a curry dressing, which was surprisingly well-balanced and added a great depth to the plate. A really well-executed combo. The shrimp cocktail was also a hit super fresh and served with a creamy avocado mousse that added a nice twist to a classic dish. Elegant and satisfying. Only miss of the evening was the sorbet extremely sour to the point it overwhelmed rather than refreshed. I could’ve done without it. Service was attentive, and the atmosphere is elegant without being stuffy. Overall, a great experience with a couple of memorable highlights. Would definitely return!

We had a great experience at Lafayette Miami. We ordered the $60 three-course meal, which was such a good value for the quality and portions. The steak was perfectly cooked and full of flavor. Our waitress, Marie, was wonderful - friendly, attentive, and made great recommendations. The bartenders were also super nice and made excellent drinks. We loved that their happy hour runs until 8 pm, even on a Saturday night. Overall, great atmosphere, great service, and great food. We’ll definitely be back!

Absolutely fantastic place to eat steak 🥩. Went here for my birthday. Had the filet mignon, grilled octopus 🐙, cream spinach and branzino. Ended with the lava cake 🍫. Service was very attentive and provided us with great recommendations for wine 🍷. The decor was amazing too, like an old NY style steak house.

Lafayette nails the steak—tender, flavorful, and truly well done (not the overcooked kind). Drinks were good, nothing to write sonnets about, but they did their job. The vibe is polished, the service is sharp, and the bill… well, let’s just say even with Miami Spice menu, you won’t walk out under $130 a head. Delicious? Absolutely. Affordable? Not a chance.

My husband and I celebrated our anniversary last night.Everything was magnificent. Food, Service, Atmosphere 👌 I highly recommend it. Was very impressed with the food and the cheesecake was to die for! Our waitress Kelly was phenomenal with service and treatment. Overall great experience!!!

Great food and service. Steaks and deserts were all amazing. LuLu took care of us. Would come back fosho.

I highly recommend the new Lafayette Steakhouse in the old El Tucan spot in Brickell. This two story steakhouse has a sophisticated old school 1940s Hollywood interior design that brings style and class. From the minute you walk in, you feel classic vibe surround the chic decor. More importantly, the food is top notch! We ordered the tuna tartare for an appetizer and is we by far the best I've ever had. In fact it was so good we ordered two! The Sea Bass and Skirt steak with fries and broccoli was the entree and both were perfectly cooked and perfection. To cap it off, we had the cookie and the strawberry cheesecake, which was one of the best I've ever had. The service was very attentive and very quick to attend to our needs. Glad to have Lafayette as a great addition to the Brickell dining scene!

I was very excited to try Lafayette Steakhouse Miami. The pictures looked beautiful and the entire booking process made it feel very upscale and nice. We dined on a Thursday night, relatively early. When we arrived we were greeted by the hostess and promptly seated. The restaurant is very pretty and has a very sexy vibe. It is dark and there is jazzy music playing. As the evening progressed there was live piano music. The service was good and everyone was attentive and helpful. The server made several recommendations from drinks to food options. The tuna tartare appetizer was delicious however, it was very small. Their bread and butter were delicious however small and it came with a cost. For dinner I ordered the veal chop. It was also small as well as overcooked. I had requested medium and it was definitely well done. For dessert we had the apple dessert and the chocolate and peanut butter dessert. The presentation was nice but the taste was average. All in all the experience was nice. The prices were on the high side for what we ate. I also found that they had many requests of the guest but they were not really enforced. They request men wear jackets or dress shirts and there were several people without jackets and wearing casual Shirts and slacks. I probably would not return to dinner here. Miami has excellent restaurants at a much lower price point.

Dined here on wednesday night, and had a superb experience. Yes, the restaurant is expensive (hello, Miami) but they definitely make it worth your while with the experience. Everything we tried was delicious, and the service from everyone (and I truly mean everyone) was top notch and super attentive. While some other "hip" Miami restaurants are purposely rude to make themselves appear exclusive, the staff at Lafayette was amazing, kind and polite at all times. Anthony was an wonderful waiter and had great recommendations. We tried a lot of dishes, among our favorite were the beef carpaccio, the fried chicken, seabass, and creamed corn.

Place is a mess ... we had a reservation with Amex ... was totally empty .. and didn't want to seat .. this will the next zero
