Las' Lap Miami

Lovely atmosphere. The food was lovely and the ambience was perfect! The art work is breath taking. Come dressed to impressed. I love how this spot has a dress code it really sets the mood for sexy and elevated. The music was the perfect playlist.

Flew into town on a random Sunday for dinner here. It did not disappoint! lovely ambiance and decor, everyone from the hostess to the bartender(s) were friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. The food was fantastic! We got the prawns(delicious unexpected preparation) oysters(fresh and delicious) lamb ribs(oh my goodness) and sticky wings (perfect crisp, excellent flavor, all flatssss) I’m a fan of chef Kwame, him and his excellent staff do it again

I stumbled upon this restaurant my last day in Miami…. such a coincidence. Once I discovered Chef Kwame owned this I booked a reservation asap. The food, drinks and service were absolutely phenomenal and exceeded my expectations. The ambiance and service from the staff truly makes this a 5 star establishment. The bartenders pictured were amazing!! Highly recommend laś lap and will visit every Miami trip 💕

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.

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

A truly unique experience in a very out of the way location right on south beach.It's completely worth looking for and experiencing this menu from Chef Kwame Onwuachi. We had on our bucket list to go to tatiana's in new york.But right here in our very own backyard, is an excellent representation of high end gourmet food. Each dish better than the last.The first dish superb.

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!

Las Lap is a whole experience. The decor is Afrocentric maximalism at its finest--jazzy, bold, and indulgent, with a vibe that feels intentionally luxurious without trying too hard. Jeffery was my waiter and absolutely elevated the evening. He was knowledgeable, confident, and walked me through the menu with ease, making thoughtful recommendations along the way. I started with the Saba Tea Mocktail--tart yet sweet with just enough pucker to wake up your palate. The oysters were beautifully fresh and came with sauces that brought real personality. The mignonette stood out in particular: sweet with a subtle kick that lingered just right. The beef carpaccio was sliced paper-thin and paired with crispy mushrooms that added texture and depth--simple, elegant, and perfectly executed. Chef Kwame's menu may be tiny, but it is truly mighty. Every dish celebrates the African diaspora with intention and pride, proving you don't need a long menu when every item hits. The staff was attentive throughout the night, making sure every element--from timing to presentation--felt deliberate and well thought out. Las Lap Las Lap isn't just dinner; it's storytelling on a plate.

Las' Lap Miami is undeniably gorgeous. The ambiance, music, and overall setting felt like the perfect backdrop for a New Year's Eve experience, and I want to be very clear: the staff and the food were not the problem here. That said... the $195 NYE experience was rough around the edges. Our reservation was for 10:00pm, but we weren't seated until about 10:30pm. The first course--an amuse bouche (a deviled egg)--arrived at 11:20pm. From there, the rest of the courses rolled out well past midnight, which made the pacing feel more like a waiting game than a celebration. To their credit, the team was generous with champagne all night (much appreciated), but the bar staff already looked stretched thin, so ordering cocktails felt like adding to the chaos. It seemed like the restaurant may have bitten off more than it could chew for such a big night. Now for the bright spots, because there were some excellent ones: The Lobster Escovitch (not even on the regular menu) was outstanding. The Rasta Pasta Bucatini? Absolutely phenomenal! The Golden Rum Cake was a perfect finish and worth remembering. We were told there would be a reduced cost due to a missed course and the long wait times, but the final bill still came out to $480, which stung a bit given the experience. I'm honestly at a crossroads. Part of me thinks this was a case of NYE over-ambition and that Las' Lap deserves another chance on a normal night. The potential is absolutely there. As a New Yorker visiting Miami, I want to love this place and I just might try again when the pressure of a major holiday isn't in the mix. A beautiful space, great food, kind staff... just a night that needed better organization.

Embarrassingly Dated I booked reservation for a work-related celebration and was denied entry by an unprofessional man who did not identify himself and was less than discreet nor did he conduct himself in a manner consistent with the high-end image this place was trying to portray. He fumbled through a dated and rigid gender-based dress code from behind a sad, sagging, stanchion 90s time warp dressed in an ill-fitting polyester suit with a jacket and pants of different shades of black. The restaurant was empty, which made the situation even more ridiculous. At one point, he slightly cracked the door to speak to me to relay the GM didn't want our business. The GM never came to explain the supposed dress code violation. This place is ridiculous--it is South Beach and to have a restaurant that doesn't embrace a dress code that understands queer expression or makes room for nonbinary gender expression explains why the place was empty. Read the room--and the neighborhood. Such a shame because the previous restaurant was so gracious and yummy. We were more than happy to take our business to a restaurant where respect is on the menu.

Las'Lap is something special, and jumps to one of my top favorites in Miami. Street and garage parking nearby. Safe neighborhood. This restaurant is tucked inside a hotel with an intimate, vibey entrance and flows into the bar/restaurant. From afar you can tell it's got island vibes with its tiki like flair. The host and surrounding staff were all very friendly, well trained, and worked well together. Of particular note, our bartender/ server Claudia took amazing care of us tonight. Patiently explained the menu items, shared some favorite highlights, and was overall very sweet the entire night. The food here is rockstar status. The doubles, tuna and crispy roti tartare were great starters. The chicken stew a filling and flavorful shareable plate, with great accompanying rice. No regrets with anything ordered here. I'd easily order them all again. Whatever you do, you must make it to desert. I think only seasonal (this might be a crime.. bc it's so good), the rum cake is arguably one of the best I've had. It's made in house too, and I hope makes the permanent menu. Outstanding. Plating was nice, as well as the ambiance... nice tunes (not too loud), dimly lit. It's a smaller area but they make great use of the space they have. They have an outside seating, but that was closed tonight. I also appreciate the seats at the bar were very comfortable.. that's not my usual experience with bar seats... these were specious, comfy padding and had back and arm rests. Bathrooms are mixed use, clean and just outside the bar area. In short, Las'Lap was one of my top must tries... and it exceeded my expectations. I'd recommend and return. Hope you enjoy!

As Chef Kwame has restaurants in three of my favorite places in America, I had Las Lap on my radar and chose to go there with my family for my birthday. Hello day ones of Capricorn Season (12/22)! I made it to a spot I wanted to go to for months the night before, but was a bit disappointed, so I had very high expectations for Las' Lap. Uber had us looking for a different hotel name, Las' Lap actually sits in the Daydrift. There is no exterior signage for the restaurant. The property has a spacious lobby for an art deco hotel and then you enter the restaurant. The vibe gets right immediately. I had a long weekend and knew I wanted an ice cold Belvedere dirty martini, but decided to try one of the specialty cocktails. I think it had "spice" or "heat" in the name (0/10). It had neither. The attempt at a dirty (extra dirty) martini failed as well (4/10). It's honestly the first time I've ordered a dirty and it was too dirty. I sucked it up anyway. We ordered more food than I photographed and I was quite satisfied. The plates are meant to be shared and we were a party of four. We ordered caviar service (10/10), Escovitch Crab Claws (10/10), South Beach Snapper (7/10), Big Eye Tuna (5/10), an Oxtail Cuban (10/10 without the sauce), a Caesar (7/10), Waygu Tasso (8/10), Lamb Ribs (10/10) Ice Box Cake (8/10 the topping and ice cream was divine) and mango sorbet (8/10). I saw the caviar service table on Instagram and was disappointed the table was "out of order". I don't know if it's the way the orders are placed in the system or the ways the chefs process, but several items came out at once, and we were at a small round table, so the service seemed a bit clunky. The restaurant has a great back patio and the main dining area is cool and sexy. It was a great night and we were right between main dining and the patio. Our server was okay. I will go back and I can't wait to try his other restaurants.

We had such a lovely time at las lap! I had heard sooo many good things, and I just had to try it out. You first walk in and you are greeted with a beautiful and spacious bar. We continued into the back patio area, it was lit up so pretty. Our server was very nice and helped us with all questions we had regarding the menu. The playlist was the best! All r&b, rap, and hip hop classics. We started with some drinks, including a mango mocktail which was delicious and refreshing. Then we had the absolute star of the show.. the oxtail cuban. The warm buttery roll, the juicy mojo oxtail bacon, and the truffle on top were all so good with the dipping sauce. I wish i could take it for lunch every day. Next up were the sticky wings. I like saucy, and these were covered! Again a great dipping sauce . Then came the lamb ribs with a side of brioche. Very good, but this is probably the dish i could stiff, it was a littleee overcooked. We had to close it out with some pistachio gelato. So smooth and tasty. I would recommend them every time for a fun and delicious dinner in miami.

Las Lap was nothing short of fantastic! I went to dinner here with my two girlfriends as a lot of our friends had recommended it. As soon as you walk into Las Lap, the decor is full of vibrant foliage. There was a DJ to the left when we entered as well. We weren't able to sit until our full party was present. We sat outside on the patio. It was so nicely decorated with lights on the trees and the music was really great. We weren't able to stop dancing! There were many items to share on the menu, which is exactly what we did! To drink, I got the mango mocktail, which was essentially a carbonated beverage with a mango undertone. It was very refreshing! We ordered the oxtail Cuban sandwich, which is an absolute must! The meat was so well cooked and melted in my mouth! The truffle and chimichurri sauce were the perfect touch. The sandwich was cut into 4 pieces and was so easy to share. We also ordered the sticky wings, which were quite spicy but absolutely delicious! The sauce and the way the chicken was cooked was just fabulous. We also got lamb ribs, which, as explained to us by our waiter, were a little bit fattier than lamb chops. Nonetheless, the lamb ribs were awesome. For dessert, we got the pistachio gelato which was topped with Jamaican cereal. It was super creamy and delicious. Such a great dining experience!

The restaurant is located right across the street from I believe a museum. It has very cute decor and very friendly staff. They enthusiastically greeted and complimented me upon arrival and quickly got me seated. I sat on the terrace and overlooked the river. It was very soothing and comfortable. There were plenty of cooling fans I was suggested a fish disk, I forgot which fish it was but tried it because my waiter was insistent that it was a crowd favorite and he was not lying. There were various flavors mingling and the fish had a nice crispy crush and was tender and flaky inside. I can't really describe the flavor with a word besides purposeful. I started with a tartare that was so tender and delicious. I could have taken it home with me. I was very happy and pleased with my experience.

Last Lap has officially arrived in Miami, and wow everything was incredible! So flavorful with that perfect Caribbean twist. I started with the Birds Eye View cocktail. It came in a parrot shaped cup and was almost too cute to drink. For the table, we ordered the Oxtail Cuban sandwiches packed with mojo oxtail, black truffle, and wagyu beef bacon ,an absolute flavor bomb. The sticky wings were my favorite dish of the night. They weee pimento smoked with hot honey and jerk BBQ. They sounded spicy but hit the perfect balance with just the right amount of heat and sweetness. The lamb ribs were also amazing, they fell right off the bone and were glazed in jerk BBQ, paired with house pickles and brioche bread. To finish, we shared the pistachio gelato topped with a Jamaican cereal crunch on top and a drizzle of vanilla cream. Probably one of the best gelatos I've ever had. After dinner, we checked out the upstairs rooftop bar . It was super cute, with a little photo booth, comfy lounge couches, a well stocked bar, and a fun vibe with great music.

My experience was amazing. I would absolutely go back again and again. From the service to the food and to the atmosphere, chefs' kiss especially for a place like Miami that prioritizes vibes over top tier food. We ordered the oxtail sliders, rasta pasta, wings, wagyu griot and the doubles. The wagyu griot was out of this world. It was delicious when served with the coconut rice and all the different dipping sauces. Soooooo yummy. The wings were also delicious and my sisters who aren't wing lovers, thoroughly enjoyed them. The rasta pasta has a different flavor profile than I am used to. I've had Jamaican rasta pasta in NY and this tastes different. I was not impressed with the doubles. I enjoyed the oxtail sliders but there was truffle on them that none of us could taste. The flavor of the truffle was really mild. The service was also top tier and our waitress was friendly and very knowledgeable. The ambiance is grown and sexy. Perfect for a date night or a girls' night. They have a DJ on site who played some really good R&B and the Renaissance album. Fun times and I can't wait to go back.

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 had an excellent dinner at Las' Lap! The food was so flavorful, service was excellent, the decor was fun, and the DJ was an entire vibe! I'd return work friends or on a date night as this is a great new spot in town! Standout dishes were the Big Eye Tuna and South Beach Snapper!

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!

I really wanted to like this place cause the vibe was so chill. I stayed in the Daydrift above this restaurant I would not recommend. Really needed updating. We went downstairs to this restaurant and the service here was mediocre. We didn't have a reservation was seated in a high seat across from the bar. From getting our drinks to just getting 3 appetizers within an hour and a half was ridiculous. I would have to say the food was good and the manager tried to make it right. But I can't say this one I'll be coming back to.

Really nice atmosphere, especially the outdoor seating. Service was quick and friendly as well. Chicken wings were the favorite at the table.

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.

I have to start with the staff. They make you feel like you're home. Very different from most high end restaurants in Miami, especially on the beach. The staff was very friendly and super knowledgeable about the menu. As food and drinks i started with a rum punch. From there i had the crab claws. They are very small but a great combination of flavors, especially if you use the spicy sauces. Followed that up with the spicy wings which was also very good. I also had the ox tail Cuban and the chicken. Everything was very flavorful and very good. I need to go back to try the Rasta pasta.

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.

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!

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

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!

I have been in this restaurant under several incarnations. The renovated decor is charming. I was very impressed with the presentation and assortment of food, particularly the seafood. I look forward to returning.

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.

i love las lap in NY so i was hype to visit the miami location. the food was amazing. i don't even think i have a favorite it was all sooooo good. the service was great, we sat at the bar and the bartender made sure the drinks kept flowing. the vibes of the restaurant are caribbean upscale with great music. 11/10 would recommend.

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 first time I visited the food and service was outstanding, the second time the food was good but the service could've been better. Only Caribbean fusion restaurant on the beach.

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

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.

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!

Really happy they moved into the neighborhood. Service was one of the best I've had in Miami and everything we ate was delicious. They really did a great job making the space beautiful.

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.

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

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.

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!

i came here for my 29th birthday excited to try chef Kwame's food... i was blown away to say the least. from the decor, the service, the food... it was the best thing i've EVER had. the caribbean flavors were familiar but with a twist. i can't say enough great things about this restaurant. a huge thank you to our server Sessle and the Managers at Las Lap who made my birthday so special and a nod to chef Kwame and the chefs in the kitchen. I will be back!

Best food in Miami. Highly recommend. Evening from the oysters, to their take on a Cuban, to the fish was fantastic. We cannot wait to go back.

We came here for their New Year's Eve dinner as a party of three and it was a terrible experience. We reserved for the second seating which was 10pm..we weren't seated until 10:40pm. The hostess told us we were next to be seated, then she proceeded to seat two other parties before us. By the time they seated us, we chose not let that ruin our night. Hearing about how great the food was and expecting an amazing 4 course meal, we didn't get our first course until 11:30pm and didn't even get the amuse-bouche which would've been the deviled eggs with caviar. What made it worse was that no one apologized for this until we complained. We ended up just paying for our drinks and leaving which many other parties ended up doing. An unfortunate way to ring in the New Year. I would not recommend this restaurant.

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.

The ambiance, service and the food was amazing. The coconut water is spectacular loved that it's served in the actual coconut

Chef Kwame has done it again. The ambience is sexy and cool with old school R&B in the background. The food is not overly complicated and tastes great. We enjoyed the truffle Cuban, tuna tartare, wagyu main and several drinks. The staff was very attentive and charming. I would absolutely dine here again.

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!

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.

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.

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!

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!
