    We managed to snag a reservation for Valentine's Day, and while the experience had its highlights, there were definitely some mishaps along the way. First off, the tables are ridiculously close together--so much so that getting into our seats without bumping into someone else's food was nearly impossible. We were practically dining with other couples, joking that we were having a group Valentine's Day experience. Our waiter was... odd. The interaction felt incredibly forced and unnatural. When I informed him that I was allergic to crustaceans, he responded with, "Oh, allergic to shellfish, got it." I clarified that they're not the same thing, and he just stared at me like I had three heads. How do you work in the food industry and not know the difference--especially when it comes to allergies? It honestly stressed me out for the rest of the meal. We initially wanted to start with the beef carpaccio, but they were out--bummer. Instead, we ordered the octopus, steak tartare, and deviled eggs. The octopus was hands-down the best we've ever had--cooked perfectly, tender, and flavorful. The steak tartare was also really good, but the deviled eggs were bland and forgettable. Wouldn't recommend them. Before we could even finish our appetizers, our tomahawk steak arrived, and the staff literally took our plates out of our hands while we were still eating. Given that service had been pretty slow up until then, the sudden rush was both surprising and rude. That said, the tomahawk steak itself was phenomenal. Cooked and seasoned to perfection, we had no complaints. The broccolini, however, was flavorless and unremarkable, but the creamed corn was absolutely to die for! It's a must-order, trust me. To finish, we tried their Ultimate Lava Cake, and honestly... I need to know who thought this was a good idea. It sounded strange on the menu, and it tasted even stranger. Just not good at all. Overall, we might return because the steak was excellent, but we're not in a rush. Our waiter could have done a much better job, but shoutout to the gentleman who was refilling our water and clearing plates--he was amazing. If I remembered his name, he would've gotten the whole tip!

    Came in for Miami Spice and we couldn't be more ecstatic about the service. They were super friendly and helpful. Marie who helped us was great and she consistently checked up on us. The food itself was the reason I'm bringing the stars down. The steak was chewy and overall the foods didn't have a ton of flavor. Felt like things were slapped together and brought out in an assembly line. The actual inside of this place is super nice and well thought out. I'd recommend if you're doing drinks here. Great environment for a pre game or a date. Cheers!

    This restaurant is an absolute gem, especially if you're a meat lover. The meats & sliders are cooked to perfection--juicy, and seasoned with that unmistakable French finesse!

    I am reviewing based on HH experience only. Fantastic ambiance - dark, intimate, gorgeous interiors. The drinks are out of this world by the most amazing bartender/cocktail master "G". They offer great HH bites with sliders being my favorite. I liked the restaurant so much, I brought a group of ladies as my next visit. Everyone loved it and we will be coming back for dinner soon.

    The place is decorated beautifully. It was quite empty when we arrived for our 8:30 reservation, which made me a little skeptical. However, the food and service were good. They have a selection of large steaks to share with your group. Overall great experience. Ideal spot for a birthday or celebratory dinner.

    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!

    This place is so elegant. As soon as I walked in I was pleasantly suprised! This is the perfect spot for date night , anniversary or special dinner. The waiter was so help and nice. We did same day reservations. The decor is IG picture worthy! The food was so good! My favorite was the seas bas! They also have a live singer . We went on Saturday night it was very quiet and romantic

    Perfection! Classy, beautiful, amazing food and great service. A real gem for those seeking an elegant and sophisticated steakhouse for Happy Hour or dinner. They have the very best staff. The owner and managers are always checking to make sure you are well taken care of. A shoutout to Daniela Lucia, a most wonderful manager with a great memory and welcoming demeanor. Every time I bring a new person she gives us a tour. They offer a Secrets of the Sommelier class - perfect for a group in their beautiful wine cellar. Check out their ultimate dessert experience with the Sundae Trolley. On the weekends they have music and if you want to party - their other restaurant is Marion nextdoor. Highly recommended for those seeking a truly sophisticated experience.

    The Lasseter is one of (I think) two bars within Julia & Henry's, the new food hall in Miami…read more There are a ton of options that look great. I think they fit Miami well, and are slight twists in classic drink options. Our bartender was awesome. She was super knowledgeable and helpful in making recommendations as we decided what to order, and you can tell she really put effort into making sure the drinks were good. The drinks were really good! My only complaint is the price. Of course handcrafted cocktails are expensive, especially in Miami, but wow. The drinks were really small, and had so much ice that they ended up being not very many sips at all. They were definitely good, but the very small size for almost $20 a drink was kind of outrageous.

    Oooooo I'm the first to review and I WISH it could've been 5 stars! No pressure !! :(…read more With such an amazing and innovative decor, dazzling bar and great vibes, my sibling, husband and I knew this was the place to be to enjoy ourselves with some drinks! The bar was lit, poppin' and vibrant. We were waiting by the end of the counter where they checked out other patrons near the sitting area. We were overlooked many times... I locked eyes with one of the bartender and she completely looked away from me.. several times :( took about 15 minutes and we reached our arms out and flagged bartender Reilly. Her greeting and attention was genuine so I was happy to get her. Unfortunately, she got busy and we got the initial lady that ignored us. She was not kind, not attentive and didn't really want to help us - she was very fake. With that being said, we had to remind her of our drinks after 20 minutes of placing the order, in which she responded with an attitude "it's being made. We're busy" -_- -_- :( the attitude was not needed. We watched others that came in before us being served. :( I was completely annoyed and upset. She didn't even bring the drinks to us like the other bartenders were doing, she made us get it. Poor service from this one bartender while the others were happy and servicing their patrons. After our first drinks, I noticed she spoke to her colleague and he came over and asked if we wanted to close out.. . Wtf kicking us out? We said no and he opened a tab. When she noticed we were ordering more, she was a bit more attentive. So wrong. Luckily, the drinks were delicious. Perfect. We did end up coming back to the Lasseter and got a gentleman bartender that was so kind and attentive and made our drinks even better! The attention to detail and love he made in my drinks, so that is why I decided to make make this a 3 stars rather than two. He saved this place. The toilet sitting area is very warm, not very air conditioned properly so expect to be a little warm especially after a couple of sips. It's also the walkway to an actual big restrooms for the whole building. The drinks are VERY pricy but the setting is perfect and makes up for it. Unfortunately, the service was not up to par. Disney priced drinks without the Disney customer service. Do I want to come back? Yes. Am I going to be picky with the vibes coming from the bartender and chose who to go to? Also yes. Hopefully, I can increase the rating.

It's made with Maple Bacon Infused Maker's Mark, vanilla cinnamon syrup, bitters and cedar smoke. So good! I also recently tried the Red Flag made with Cazadores Blanco, lime, agave, strawberry-infused Aperol, and topped with bubbles. So refreshing and tasty. You cant go wrong with any of their cocktails. The mixologist knows what they're doing and as a matter of fact, this place has won several competitions during SOBEWFF. It gets packed late at night, especially Friday and Saturday so get there at a decent hour so you grab a table or space by the bar. Will keep coming back!
