Las' Lap Miami

Walked in with my brother unaware it was happy hour! We sat with Carlos the bartender at the front for a round of drinks he was so handsome and charismatic! Then we moved to the bar in the dining area to eat and were greeted by Johnny who was also helpful on the menu. We had 3 drinks each and shared 2 entrees food was delicious I recommend the oxtail Cuban sandwich! William the manager was also very attentive checking on us as the night flew by. Ambiance was great music was great. Felt like we left Miami for the night! Thank you Las’Lap

From the moment we checked in with the hostess , i just knew the food was gonna be good. I got nothing but attitudes & i couldn't even finish my sentence before she said "NO". Although i wish the customer service was a lot better it did not take away from the food actually tasting amazing. But for the amount of money that is being spend. First impressions are lasting ones. They were not accommodating at all. As we arrived 2 hours earlier than expected to our reservation time, the hostess rudely reminded us that it was gonna be impossible for us to be sat earlier (with many empty tables btw). When we finally were taken to our table we were led to high tops. We weren't asked if a high top table was ok? When we asked to be seated at a regular table again we got the same attitude followed up by "I don't think we can do that , let me check". Food was amazing but just wish the personal interaction vibes were more warmer.

Great experience, likely going to be a Michelin restaurant in the next 2-3 years. Drinks are delicious but slightly overpriced. Meals are reasonably priced, heavenly, and delivered with consistently high standards throughout. The lamb was amazingly moist and tender. Oxtail was also a highlight. Service was great but on the sales-y side. Overall, no complaints and will be back.

Fantastic experience at LasLap. Our server was phenomenal. He explained every dish so eloquently and gave great recommendations. We had the wings and Doubles as apps. Wings were delicious and has a crispy but tenderness to it. The Doubles were good and tasted very traditional. We opted for the Fish, Bucatini pasta and the Brown Stew chicken. Every dish was fantastic. The rice and pea’s was so flavorful and accompanied the dishes so perfectly. Overall, great dining experience and will be back to try other great dishes.

This restaurant is amazing! The vibe, music and even the art showcased on the walls sets the perfect dining mood. The food was on point and the menu really focused on coastal Caribbean flavors with a modern twist. The cocktails were equally great, and the service could not have been better. If you have not been yet, don’t miss this hidden gem. I highly recommend you try Las Lap-Miami, I know we’ll be back!

Phenomenal. The food was to die for. The decor and music was pure vibes. Our server was Jeffrey who treated us like Queens and explained every dish exquisitely. Annette and Massiel were also sweethearts cannot wait to come back for happy hour and once the rooftop is open.

An amazing new addition to Miami’s dining scene, this Caribbean-inspired restaurant brings the unmistakable New York flair down south. The food is absolutely incredible — flavorful, creative, and so many standout to choose from. The wine list is perfectly curated, and the sommelier’s knowledge truly elevates the experience. Cocktail list is unique and pairs well with your meal, or the night cap. The space itself is stunning — whether you’re grabbing a drink at the bar, dining on the patio, or taking in the Miami skyline from the rooftop, listening to the perfect playlist, every spot offers its own unique vibe. Definitely a must-visit in Miami.

Top notch food and service. The flavors here really shine. I don’t know how else to describe it but everything was just so flavorful and well seasoned. Decor is beautiful and the service was great. One slight issue is whenever we asked for a recommendation, it was always the most expensive thing on that side of the menu. Now maybe that’s the true recommendation but not sure. Will definitely be back and recommend this place to others.

Rum Punch! Breed to perfection! The oxtail and the brown stew was just to die for. I also enjoyed the sticky chicken and snapper was stupendous.

I have always wanted to experience a Chef Kwame restaurant, and his new Miami restaurant outperformed my expectations. This restaurant is one we needed in this city--the flavors are a blend of Caribbean meets everything chef loves about Miami, and you can feel it from the moment you walk in. The decor, still feels so authentically Miami while transporting you to a cozy, intimate New York bars. The kind of moments that take you back to feeling at home even if it's your first time here. The service was friendly and lively, the rum cocktails were delicious but again, the food is what you want to come here for. Please don't skip out on the ceviche (not pictured) or the Rasta pasta. These two dishes alone are reason for me coming back. This is the kind of restaurant that feels special and brings a smile to my face when I think about dining here

I have been eyeballing Tatiana's in NY for over a year but I haven't had a chance to go up there yet so, when I saw that Chef Kwame had opened a restaurant in my backyard I knew I had to be there and I'm so happy he didn't disappoint. Not only were the hostess completely warming and welcoming but so was chef Kwame who was IN the building having conversations with the patrons. Now, the Ambiance is quite literally excellence. VERY beautiful space with a full bar and very "sultry" lighting. The patio is covered and decorated beautifully with lights and the playlist was that of someone with West Indian/Caribbean/African roots. I was literally dancing in my seat while stuffing my face! I ordered the sticky wings and the wagyu Tasso. The wings were smoky, sweet with a pinch of heat on the back end. I typically do not like sauced wings because it's usually sweet BBQ. These were not that and the cook time was perfect because they were still crispy. The wagyu Tasso.....perfection. There was a nice seasoned crust on the meat but when you cut into it there are juices galore. When you pair that with the crunch, tang, and spice from your pikliz you're in heaven. The rice and peas also cooked and flavored to perfection!! I cannot wait to return to try more items and maybe a cocktail. I also can't wait to visit NY as well. Thank you all for the wonderful food and hospitality.

The food and service was amazing however, do not sit on the high top chairs on the side of the bar. These are extremely uncomfortable and caused back and neck pain despite the fact that I am only 41. We cannot reach the foot rail, and I am not short. I also saw several other customers trying to keep their feet/legs up on the seat because of the terrible angle these seats cause you to sit. They definitely need some other place to put your feet to help the angle between your hips and knees. This would be a 5 star review if not for the significantly uncomfortable seat. I honestly could not wait to get out of there even though the food was amazing. This should be fixed.

Great food. Service was good. On the pricey side. Ambiance was great. I still recommend coming here.

Not sure where to begin. 10's across the board!! The service- I was genuinely impressed. Every detail was handled flawlessly. Just perfect! The restaurant is simple yet beautiful with a cozy vibe and great music! Lastly, the food was worth every dollar. Rare for me to say, but the portions are filling, everything we had was flavorful. Delicious! 10/10 recommend!

Went back for a third time and it was an experience, but not as great as the first two times. The ambiance and music were still on point and great. The doubles, sticky wings and lamb riblets are a guaranteed amazing experience! The rasta pasta was lacking in al dente and clams. The dish didn't match the description or the reviews.. We also would've enjoyed it more if we weren't stuffed from the oxtail sandwich. There was no need to order both carb dishes but the server said it would be fine. We felt as though the servers objective was to sell us as many items for the tip. The dessert also was ok and the timing it took to get our bill was over 30 minutes and we weren't the only table that experienced this. Despite the third visit falling short, we would go again because the first two experiences were outstanding! The tamarind mocktail was great! Still worthy of a visit so enjoy!

Had a few friends in town and we pulled up to try this spot..... and wow, we all left blown away. First off, the service was excellent. Our server took the time to explain the food and background of the restaurant, and stayed super attentive throughout the night. The vibe was just right, perfect for dinner with friends or even date night. They had a DJ spinning classic hip-hop and R&B, which really set the mood. Now the food... everything we tried was packed with flavor. For starters, we had the sticky wings delicious with just the right kick of spice. The oxtail cuban sandwich ended up being my favorite dish of the night. The grilled lamb was tender and cooked perfectly, and the wagyu griot was bursting with bold, and so much flavors. Overall 10/10. Great food, great service, great vibe. Definitely a spot worth coming back to.

Las' Lap was on my friends radar for a while and Since she had never experienced Jamaican food before I told her I would love to join her. The unique flavors and heat of the cuisine is really something everyone should try at least once (IMO). We ordered the beef carpaccio and crudo for apps. Both were so delicious and flavorful. For our mains, we had the oxtail and Rasta pasta. Neither one of us really cared for either of the dishes and the heat of the scotch bonnet really caught up to us after a while. The service was great, but the menu was a little lacking in options, but we did enjoy our experience overall.

Had dinner here with my girls last night.. we left full, drunk and happy. Feels more like a full restaurant than the NY location which has more of a late-night tapas and drinks vibe. The restaurant has moody lighting and the DJ keeps a good energy. This is not an over the top Miami restaurant but they do enough that it's certainly not casual; perfect balance. Our server, Alex, was funny, thorough with his review of the menu, (had a great mustache) and did not steer us wrong with drinks. When offered water, the options are: still, sparkling, and COCONUT water... which came in the coconut! We all tried the rum punch since it's a Jamaican staple and wow, amazing! That's the kind of drink you order a few of cause it's tasty and later can't walk straight. Sneaky! LOL As far as food, we ordered family style and overall did not have 1 bad plate. Here are my "can't miss" suggestions: The caviar service comes as a tartare with tuna, a bunch of toppings/sauces and ROTI! The south beach snapper reminded me of a yellowtail crudo 10/10- wouldn't skip it. The wagyu griot had some of the best rice and peas I've ever had out (restaurants undercook this rice often IMO) and the griot was SO tender, there's a chance that was the best griot I've ever had- outside of a trip to Haiti. The crab claws were good, obviously a smaller portion. The oxtail cubano sandwich is a little cheesy, has a hint of spice (great twist since cubanos have none) and comes with a little sauce. I had to fight to finish my last few bites of food but still did not skip dessert.. we aren't quitters. We only tried the gelato (all 4 flavors) and while I liked them all, I can confidently say to go right to that pistachio flavors without hesitation. That's the WINNER! Overall, not a single dish was subpar! We will definitely be back again to try a few other items we skipped.. have a little FOMO we didn't try the Rasta pasta. Next time. Love this new location! Will be dreaming of that griot tonight xx

The food was absolutely amazing. Menu was small but the food did not disappoint. The staff was friendly and the ambiance was great. I don't reccomend the outdoor seating because it's next to a lake and there were a lot of mosquitos. I would definitely come back to check out the night ambiance next time I'm in town!

From being greeted, attention to detail, service, food, drinks, ambiance, and music this place is top notch. Some of the best food I've had in a while. The staff consisting of Jeffrey, Alexandra, Kareem, and Keon were excellent and consummate professionals. They're opening a lounge on the 3rd floor and I look forward to enjoying that! Most definitely check this place out!

Was super excited to try this new restaurant and gave it a few weeks after opening to allow any kinks to be ironed out. Sat at the bar and service was attentive and truly hospitable. You can tell everyone there takes pride in their industry. The menu was short and sweet with some interesting fusion items like the oxtail Cuban sandwich and fun cocktails And mocktails! Oysters were not the best this time around. Needed the mignonettes -- excellent twist, tamarind, pepper sauce and green seasoning. Tip-- save the sauces for the rest of your meal, goes great on the oxtail Cuban Perfect blend of Caribbean and SoFlo Culture. Ambiance was lovely for a date night or gathering of friends. It's not so dark that you can't see or hear one another. There was a small patio area for outdoor dining if that's more your vibe, looked like bistro seating. There is a roof top upstairs that was not yet open but will definitely return and check out.

Had dinner at Las Lap and the food was absolutely amazing. It's a lively restaurant with Caribbean inspired flavors that shine in every dish. I honestly can't pick a favorite dish because everything we tried was so flavorful and delicious. Our server was fantastic, attentive, knowledgeable about the menu and drinks, and made the whole experience even better. I ordered the lamb chops, sticky chicken wings, Wagyu griot and the Cuban mojo sandwich. 10/10, I will definitely be returning!

The tosso/griot was excellent and so were the sticky wings. The pepper sauce adds just enough heat as well. Our server Axel was dope with providing the history of specific dishes. Intimate lighting and nice rnb and caribbean music set the ultimate vibe.

Impeccable! Food was a 10/10. We had the oxtails, snapper dip, and the waygu griot and the (jerk) bucatini pasta. The pasta was delicious but was my least favorite due to the spice. Everything else was so flavorful! The ambiance is upscale and eclectic! The drinks were amazing. I was so impressed with the detailed service and how attentive and warm the staff was. As someone from the caribbean, I love that we have a space on the beach to experience fine cuisine that taste like home! This spot is cozy and perfect for a date night or girls night out. I have been telling everyone I know about this spot! It truly doesn't get better than this.

My peopleeee I love you down! BUT I was treated horribly! The griot was so fatty and also 80$ I never look at prices because I enjoy food. There's never a limit BUT the quality has to match my pallet. And it was also my birthday. I told the host it's my birthday she claimed she had a great table for me instead I was in a middle of the dining room not even a booth. No cake just sorbets ???? Seriously. Sigh a mess. Food great (except the fatty griot) drinks great servers are good and great music for the culture. BUT management/leadership isn't. Fix it please!

Food was pretty good. I think the staff is friendly, attentive, and pays attention to detail. Ambiance was upscale but relaxing at the same time. Music and vibe was fun. The wait for the food was long tho. I think it too about 40 mins between my appetizer and meal. Would definitely return

I'm always very picky when it comes to fine Caribbean Fusion dining because most places lack the authenticity of the traditional flavors and spices of our dishes, but Las Lap has found a way to deliver exactly what I was looking for. High compliments to the chef! Some of my favorites of the night were the south beach snapper (15/10), the Wagyu griot (10000/10), the carpaccio 15/10, the charred dorade (15/10) the Cuban oxtail sandwiches 10/10, the escovitch crab claws 11/10, rice and peas (11/10) and the caviar service. Oh and the pistachio sorbet is an absolute MUST! The service was amazing especially for a restaurant that has just opened up in Miami. Everyone was very warm and friendly, our waiter was attentive and made our experience welcoming. It's a very intimate setting and the decor is beautiful but I have to mention the DJ was the star of the show. They were playing hit after hit from old school hip hop to r&b and to Reggae. It was a vibe. I really enjoyed my experience there and highly recommend going. I will be back for sure.

Dinner was several hours ago but I'm still smiling from ear to ear! If there's anything I love more than delicious food at a restaurant, it's excellent service. From the doorman, to the front of house, the warm greeting from everyone on your way to your seat had me feeling like a VIP guest! Food 10/10, Service 10/10, Vibes 10/10! Will definitely be back when the menu expands. The promises of rum cake and bread pudding alone will have me taking the drive. Thank you Chef Kwame for this amazing Afro-Caribbean down home yet elevated experience!

We had 10:15 p.m. reservations but weren't seated until around 11:10. The food took another 45 minutes to an hour to arrive, so we didn't end up eating until about midnight. The ambiance and atmosphere were great, but the overall service experience was disappointing.

Service 10/10. Ambiance 10/10. Most important though the food was delectable. The red snapper tasted like a delicious ceviche. The sticky wings had the most bomb flavor. The sauce they paired with it was really freaking good too. The rasta pasta bucatini had a kick & quite flavorful . I had one of the mango cocktails. My spouse had something that was smoky with Mezcal. Both were great. Perfect spot for our anniversary.

If you're in South Beach...just go. Get a reservation because it is cozy and you want to make sure you make this meal. The service was amazing, the music hits hard especially after the first drink and you're really feeling the jams, but the food- wow. The South Beach Snapper ceviche was something to write home about. I took one bite and knew I was going to enjoy this meal. My wife didn't want to give up the plantain chips after we finished the plate. The sticky wings had just the right amount of kick, loved the dipping sauce they came with but they were fantastic on their own as well. Rasta Pasta Bucatini I could have taken a piece of bread to wipe the plate clean. The special drinks are largely rum based, they have a large variety of spirits for what you want and I'm typically a whiskey guy but went with the Smoke in the Water with Mezcal. Refreshing drink on vacation. They treated us right on our visit!

Overall this was a great experience and a well put together establishment. The food was really good, above average. The snapper ceviche was amazing, the wings were cooked and flavored excellent, the star of the show was the oxtail Cuban! The brown stew chicken fell short, big time- although the coconut jasmine rice was excellent, the brown stew chicken tasted like bland chicken with sauce drenched on top. Service started off slow, I had two different servers approach my table asking if I needed assistance before my actual server came to attend us. The ambiance is a good vibe there, lights are dim for date night or an evening outing, but still bright enough for you to see your food. There's a couple bars, that if you want to sit alone and people watch. You're there! I'd go back, but I'd spend less next time.

Such a well executed menu! If you've had the privilege of eating at Tatiana in NY then you know Chef Kwame doesn't disappoint. We were a group of 4 and tried the snapper ceviche which had a fantastic mango lime sauce, the oxtail cuban, sticky wings with a side of a halal side ranch, charred dorado which came with a side of rice and peas and the passion fruit gelato for dessert! Everything was so freakin good...def a must try.

I brought my girls to Las Lap and we had the BEST experience. Food? 10/10. Music? 10/10. Service? 10/10. It's rare I say this about a place in Miami, but Las Lap really delivers on all fronts. The energy is authentic, the food is incredible, and the vibe makes you feel like you don't want the night to end. If you're looking for an unforgettable spot to eat, drink, and truly enjoy yourself. this is it. Highly recommend!

Some of the best food I've had in a long time in Miami the menu wasn't that big so we ended up trying almost everything and nothing missed!! And the service was next level I loved how they explained each dish they brought to the table!

this restaurant is really unique and delicious. hats off to the chef! the interior is beautiful too.

This is one of the best meals that I've ever had, truly. The service was incredible - everyone from the hostess, to our waiter, to the manager and even Chef Kwame himself were kind and helpful. Each dish was memorable - wagyu was a standout. And the passion fruit stracciatella at dessert is not to be missed. The whole restaurant is stunning with art and color on the walls - def eat here!!
