    This place was recommended and we gave it a try. The service, food, and ambiance were even better than the four seasons one block away. The portion sizes are generous as they let you know its family size. They have fresh tomatoes and a lemon with a knife at every table. Cut some tomatoes add some salt pepper a little olive oil w some balsamic and you have yourself a fantastic delight for the table. The escargot was by far sone of the best with the Parmesan they used. Fresh WARM bread is served through out your meal. The main courses were generously sized. The Star of the meal is by far the vanilla cheesecake. It's very light contrary to what you'd expect when you think cheesecake. It's so smooth on the palate w an amazing burst of vanilla. It's a MUST have when you eat here!

    I stopped by LPM for drinks at the bar with Jonathan (bartender). First off he and all the other bartenders were so friendly and made our experience at the bar great! My favorite cocktail by far was the Tomatotini. It tasted like the best tomato juice I've ever had and the cocktail was well balanced so I could not taste any alcohol. The LPM club was also very good and refreshing. It tasted like raspberry basil juice. I also tried some other drinks from their seasonal menu and thought they were all very good too. I'm excited to go back and can't wait to try more of the menu. I did a get a few bites off the happy hour menu and loved the escargots!

    LPM has that effortless energy where everything just feels right. The room is buzzing, warm, and polished without trying too hard. My party of three grabbed seats at the bar, which was easily the best spot in the house. The bartenders were locked in, super knowledgeable, and made the whole night flow smoothly with great service and even better vibes. The escargots were unreal. Rich, buttery, and bold in flavor, the kind of dish you order once and immediately want again. The corn and pomegranate salad was fresh and vibrant with a perfect balance of sweetness and crunch, a great contrast to the richness of the other dishes. Between the atmosphere, the bar experience, and the quality of the food, LPM hits that sweet spot of upscale but relaxed. Definitely a place you come back to.

    There's a Cocteau-style drawing in the men's bathroom that tells you everything you need to know about LPM. This Old World reference indicates that the restaurant has a yesteryear elegance and careful attention to quality ingredients that is becoming rare in our increasingly franchised, fast-casual, hurry-up-and-eat dining scene. LPM takes its time to present juicy vine-ripened tomatoes, gorgeously peppery EVOO, flaky sea salt, fragrant lemons, aromatic fresh herbs and fresh, homemade bread. I've gone twice to take advantage of the lunch menu which may be one of the best deals in town. I've gone with three other people so we usually order almost everything and then share. These included the burrata, a tagliata-like beef dish and a mediterranean fish dish that provoked a lot of oohs and ahhs at the table. The staff is orderly and well informed like they went to French military school. They were efficient and had that je-ne-sais-quoi confidence and panache when serving. LPM is great for a casual drink at happy hour with friends, lunch with colleagues when the boss is picking up the tab or for a romantic date if you want to impress them.

    Yellowtail carpaccio

    I'm not sure how I haven't been here before but love love love! The hostesses were welcoming and looked professional. Sophia helped us and was not only a very attentive server, she was very engaging (but not too much), charismatic and professional. Service was excellent (minus the 2nd champagne pour that seemed considerably less LOL). The restaurant is charming - I will say the 2-tops are crammed in together but think they did a good job spacing parties out. We didn't have "neighbors" until the end of our meal. So happy they offered Ruinart by the glass. I appreciated the fresh baked bread that was offered warm, individually rather than an entire basket. They have tomatoes and a lemon with a knife on your table for you to freely cut, as well as a bottle of olive oil & balsamic. Favorites: the lentil salad - RUN to order it. I omitted the apple but was flavorful and layered with fennel, celery and onion & perfectly cooked lentils. I would have ordered this as an entree. The yellowtail carpaccio was also a winner, as was the chicken. Sophia did warn us that some parts would be pink, but I despite the pink color - some of the meat closer to the bone had a slightly uncooked texture so we skipped that part. The gem salad was ok...I felt like it was missing anchovies or capers. The gnocchi was perfectly made and cooked - my only complaint is that the sauce was too sweet. I was expecting more of a tomato forward, not sweet flavor. My husband ordered the sea bass - I thought it was good but he did not love. We ate too much to try desserts but will absolutely come back. I also appreciate that they had a special menu where a portion of the proceeds supports breast cancer this month. This restaurant is definitely worth the drive from the beach.

    This was my first time at LPM and it was incredible! We did the LPM tasting menu, which had a few more options than the Miami Spice. All of the food is simple but prepared perfectly. Our favorites of the night were the escargot, the sea bass and the AMAZING French toast. We sat outside on a Friday evening and it was very busy but the service didn't miss a beat. Everyone was very attentive and professional, even giving us a free drink throughout the evening. LPM is a beautiful spot for a date night, highly recommend!

    The restaurant boasts a beautiful setting, and the staff are warm and attentive. We ordered the beet salad, mixed vegetable salad, roasted duck, and sea bass. For dessert, we had the panna cotta and the cheesecake. While everything was delicious, the cheesecake was particularly stunning! All the dishes were flavorful and tasty, and the portion sizes were just right for two people. I can't wait to visit again!

    Fresh bread, server passes the tables and keeps rotating  Fresh veggies on the side for you to make a salad or add to your bread

    Went there yesterday! This is the absolute perfect place for a romantic date or valentines dinner and let me tell you both outdoor and indoor seating offer a romantic cozy vibe. I won't lie i live in the area so I did go in jeans and sneakers, they let me in no issues however I will say I did feel underdressed everyone was so elegant and fancy. Now for the food prepare to spend $$$$. When you take a seat you will be met with attentive kind amazing staff! My table was a bit shaky they fixed it, they offered me a post for my hand bag so I am comfortable. There are two tomatos and a lemon for you to use to make a salad or eat with bread and they are so fresh. A server will pass by with a warm bread basket every few minutes. The food is expensive. Appetizers are around $30 and main dishes there is nothing under $45-50 and those are sometimes vegetarian dishes, when you start getting into your proteins a single dish could cost $75 but well worth it as you can see the portion. We got the yellow tail carpacio as appetizer and canard a l'orange and the Marinated Lamb Cutlets with Olive, Aubergine Caviar and Pine Nuts. These were not seasonal items but they have seasonal items. The flavors were impeccable every dish was a 10/10 all ingredients fresh. With the 3 dishes and the 20% service fee we paid around $195 (tap water no drinks). Expensive but for the quality and quantity we got it was great. We plan to come again! This place is best for : romantic date, people who like french cuisine and fine dining

    So since I'm newly single one of the things I've been trying to is take myself on dates - and this weeks was LPM. Their happy hour is incredible and my server was amazing, I wish I remembered his name. I apparently forgot to take any pics of my food but I had the prawns, beef skewers and octopus and all were delicious. The drinks were a great deal on happy hour and delicious, especially the Lui. I sat outside because the bar was full and it was a nice vibe, would definitely go back

    Beet salad
    Dannielle C.

    Had a great date night here trying out the miami spice menu (yes I know this is late). The dining area is so cute and the staff are very pleasant. We had the beet salad, green salad, duck, sea bass. For dessert we tried both the panna cotta and the cheesecake. Although both were delicious the cheesecake is out of this world! Everything was flavorful and tasty and honestly the perfect amount for 2 people. Can't wait to come back again soon!

    French toast with spiced ice cream
    Samantha M.

    Let me share a little story. Tonight, my family and I returned to LPM for my birthday dinner. Coincidentally--or maybe fatefully--we were seated at the exact same table we had two years ago. And incredibly, Bilal was once again our server. Somehow, he remembered us. I have no idea how, but he did--and that simple gesture meant so much. He's incredibly personable, and while the food at LPM is nothing short of phenomenal, it's that kind of service that truly elevates the entire experience. He made us feel like we were the only table in the restaurant. We started with the burrata and tomatoes--such a simple dish, yet unbelievably flavorful. We also had the prawns with warm olive oil and lemon. Again, simple ingredients done to perfection. And then came the snails--my sister's choice. I couldn't bring myself to try them, but she insists they were absolutely delicious. For the main course, we had the lamb cutlets, cooked and seasoned to perfection. We also shared the pappardelle, which was rich and comforting--the beef was melt-in-your-mouth tender. And the octopus? Perfectly done, with just the right amount of char and seasoning. Now, dessert--don't judge! We went all out. The French toast with spiced ice cream and warm chocolate mousse was decadent, rich, and pure heaven for any chocoholic. We also tried the cheesecake, which was incredibly light with spot-on flavor. And finally, the crème brûlée--massive in size and equally satisfying in taste. The atmosphere at LPM is effortlessly chic. The dimmed lighting and the hum of lively conversations give the place an energy that's both sophisticated and inviting. I live in Fort Lauderdale, but for LPM in Brickell? I'd make the drive any day.

    Another wonderful experience at LPM! Went for lunch with my friends to celebrate our birthdays that are within a few days of each other. We went for the Miami spice menu, which was an incredible deal and amazing quality. I started with the marinated beets, which were so tasty. I had the steak entree, which was cooked perfectly medium rare as requested and came with an amazing peppercorn sauce. My friends and I shared our entrees and they were all fantastic. My friends each got the salmon and the homemade rigatoni mushroom pasta. For dessert, I kept it simple with some of their homemade sorbet. Ricardo did an amazing job giving us a special experience to celebrate. Really appreciated his thoughtful explanation of the dishes we were curious about and for his helpful recommendations. He was also was very thoughtful to clarify that we were celebrating multiple birthdays and made sure there were three candles so we each had one. Also, it was a very nice that he took our photo with a Polaroid camera that we got to take home - he even made sure to take three so we each had one! Thank you Ricardo for a special experience!

    *** Another addition to my first reviews, this time to thank Jacob for accommodating us before the Sunday/Monday sommelier selection was officially launched. LPM is perhaps one of the most consistent restaurants in Miami, delivering excellence and professionalism. It is always a pleasure to return.

The moment we walked in, we were transported right back to Greece. The décor is beautiful and authentic without feeling forced. Every detail adds to the charm of the space. We decided to keep things light and ordered the zucchini chips along with a special appetizer featuring whipped feta, roasted eggplant, arugula, and pistachios. Both dishes were excellent. The whipped feta dish was bright, fresh, and packed with flavor, while the zucchini chips were perfectly cooked they were light, crisp, and addictive. My daughter ordered the non-alcoholic dragon fruit "martini" and absolutely loved it. It was tropical, refreshing, and felt like a special treat. I went with the white sangria. It tasted a little more watered down than I expected, but it was still refreshing and enjoyable on a warm Miami afternoon. The service was excellent throughout our visit, and the atmosphere alone makes this place worth a stop.

We had made reservations a week ahead of time which is recommended by them, and it worked perfectly. We called them to let them know we were running a little late and they were happy to hold our reservation for a few more minutes and it was great because this restaurant does get packed. Service is attentive and friendly... where they lost me was actually the quality of the dishes. Greek salad... was very sad. Overly ripped tomatoes, almost spoiled. Fish of the day sandwich (gyro style) was bland. It needed seasoning. NOT Good. Grouper from their specials... also flavorless. It comes over orzo which was overcooked. (Gummy)... and so on. I don't often have to write bad reviews but in this case I feel it is necessary. Way overrated. Way overpriced for the quality. Definitely not a restaurant I would recommend to anyone.

Even after paying, the staff continued to make sure we had water and asked if we needed anything else. This small gesture meant a lot. Sufrat has a great happy hour menu that ends at 6 PM. I tried the Moroccan Mojito, which was so refreshing. To eat, we tried the Shawarma Sushi and $1 chicken wing. The Shawarma Sushi name can be a bit misleading. It a wrap that was cut in form of sushi. It was good. I was hesitant about ordering chicken wings but I'm so glad we did because they were so delicious and crispy. They may have been the best chicken wing I've had. The service was excellent. I accidentally dropped my cocktail and they immediately cleaned it up and moved us to another clean table. I apologized for dropping it but not once did they made me feel bad about it. Instead, one of the staff stated it was an indication of having a great time. They also replaced my drink at no extra cost. A guy, who I assumed was the manager or owner, also passed by our table and ensured we were enjoying our time. Our server mistakenly brought me the wrong drink that I ordered, but I did not mind it because I actually loved the Moroccan Mojito and instead ordered another one. I also loved how they have copper cups because it makes water taste so much better. Their attention to small details like that makes the difference. Overall, I felt so welcomed and definitely have to return for more chicken wings.

We ordered the beef kabobs, which were cooked perfectly and full of flavor. Unfortunately, the ribeye steak was a major disappointment.

That said, we would still recommend this restaurant for the atmosphere, service, and many of the other menu items -- just skip the steaks.

For context, I worked in fine dining in New York and Miami for almost 20 years, so I notice the details immediately, hospitality, management presence, the energy of a room. You can usually tell pretty quickly what kind of operation you're dealing with. We were a party of five. I arrived with my four-year-old son and was greeted warmly by the hostess. That warmth ended instantly. Standing directly behind her were two managers in suits blocking the main entrance. Both looked straight at me and my child and said absolutely nothing. No hello, no smile, no acknowledgment. Anyone in hospitality knows that moment sets the tone. As an Arab woman who grew up around a culture where hospitality is everything, it was already a bad sign. We were seated outside and the vibe stayed cold. Unfortunately, the food matched it. We ordered a lot because I genuinely wanted to give the kitchen a fair shot. I grew up eating Lebanese food and what stood out most was the lack of soul. Everything felt flat, like it needed salt, lemon, brightness, that warm Mediterranean seasoning Lebanese food is known for. The tabouli was especially shocking. A $20+ tabouli with no bulgur that was so roughly chopped it was basically whole parsley leaves and slices of onion. Any Lebanese auntie would die at the sight of it. At one point I asked our server if they had harissa or any kind of spicy sauce. She said the only option was Sriracha. In a Lebanese restaurant that charges $18 for a tablespoon of hummus. An Asian chili sauce as the only option. What made it even stranger is that harissa is listed on multiple dishes on the menu, so it clearly exists somewhere in the building. I asked for the Sriracha anyway out of desperation for flavor. It never came. Same with ketchup for my toddler's fries, it took three requests. Throughout the meal I walked around the restaurant several times taking my son to the bathroom, looking around the space, even going upstairs to the lounge. Not a single person acknowledged us. Not a host, not a server, not a manager. The bar is right by the entrance and every time we looked over at the bartender and bar manager, just blank stares. At one point we were clearly standing there confused looking for the bathroom in an empty restaurant and still had to say "Excuse me, where is the bathroom?" Wild. Later I walked up to the bar myself to ask if they carried mezcal. After dinner I went back to order one. Same energy--zero warmth, zero engagement. And this is with an automatic 20% gratuity already on the bill. The mezcal was a $25 two-ounce pour and I still had to ask for an orange slice garnish because no one offered it. Empty bar, two people behind it, and I still had to request it. Also worth noting, our reservation was at 5:45pm and the restaurant was practically empty. Yet I didn't see a single manager walking the floor, greeting tables, or checking on guests. I had talked this place up to my party because I'd been so curious about it for years, and it was honestly a huge letdown. If you know Lebanese food and understand Middle Eastern warmth and hospitality, this probably isn't the place for you. Expect cold, almost nonexistent hospitality and food that feels stripped of the soul that makes Lebanese cuisine special. The space is beautiful. I'll give them that. Everything else felt like a very on-brand Miami disappointment, what happens when you give people a beautiful restaurant, expensive food, automatic gratuity, and no leadership. From the lack of authenticity and attention to detail, it's hard to believe anyone truly Lebanese is behind this operation. If anything, it feels more like a polished money grab. Honestly, it might have been less jarring if they just called themselves "Mediterranean" like so many other places in this city. But if you're going to call yourself a Lebanese restaurant, the culture and hospitality should actually be there.

But let's talk about the real star--the food. I had the chance to experience both the Miami Spice dinner menu and Sunday brunch, and honestly, I couldn't pick a favorite dish if I tried. Every plate was beautifully presented, full of fresh coastal flavors, and had its own unique twist. Whether you're craving seafood, brunch classics, or something adventurous, there's truly something for everyone. What makes Yaya's even more special is the experience. Thank you to Angel who is a dear friend and the guy to go see....grab a table by the water, watch the boats drift by, and if you time it right, enjoy a magical full moon night complete with live DJs and mesmerizing fire dancers. It's dinner with a show, Miami style. If you're looking for more than just a meal--for a place that captures the energy, beauty, and waterfront magic of Miami--Yaya's Coastal Cuisine deserves a spot on your list. Come hungry, stay for the ambiance, and let the night surprise you. I promise you its worth every penny!

    I visited Yaya Coastal Cuisine for brunch and unfortunately had a very disappointing experience due…read moreto the service. Our server, Anthony, was largely absent throughout the meal. We repeatedly had to go out of our way to flag someone down just to order drinks or check on our food, while noticing that nearby tables were consistently attended to without issue. It genuinely felt like we were being overlooked, which made the entire experience frustrating and uncomfortable. What made matters worse is that gratuity was automatically included, so we were forced to tip for service that simply did not meet even basic expectations. I'm not one to leave negative reviews, but this experience stood out for the wrong reasons. I hope management takes this feedback seriously and works to ensure all guests receive equal attention and service.

    Doya, doya, doya. This dinner was by far one of the best Turkish and Greek meze style experiences…read moreI've had so far! This modern Aegean restaurant in Wynwood sits on a very busy street, so if you're Ubering, I highly recommend getting dropped off a block away and walking. It's a one way street and traffic can get backed up, especially during dinner service. The place itself is an absolute vibe. The energy, music, and atmosphere all made for a fun night out. The service was incredible and our server's recommendations were spot on as everything we ordered was fantastic. The branzino was easily my favorite dish of the night and one of the best I've had. We came as a group of six, and this spot is perfect for both small and larger groups. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating, and the party like atmosphere makes it a great place to enjoy drinks, good food and music. If you're visiting Miami, you won't regret coming here. Highly recommend Doya and would definitely come back!

    We were loyal guests of this restaurant for almost 3 years, which makes this experience especially…read moreupsetting. During our last visit, an expensive black Prada bag disappeared inside the restaurant. At first, the General Manager, CECILIA , confirmed that we arrived with the bag and stated they were reviewing all camera footage. However, despite multiple requests, we were never shown the arrival footage or provided clear evidence proving what happened to the bag. The communication became increasingly contradictory, and instead of transparency and professional assistance, we were eventually accused of acting "fraudulently" and formally trespassed from the property. What shocked us most was not only the disappearance of a valuable personal item, but the way loyal customers were treated afterward: no transparency, no proper cooperation, no accountability, and accusations without clear proof. We remained respectful throughout the entire process and simply asked for clear confirmation regarding the footage. Instead, the situation escalated into accusations and threats of trespassing. If personal belongings can disappear inside a restaurant and management responds this way, guests should seriously think twice before leaving valuables there. At this point, we sincerely hope the restaurant owner or upper management reviews this situation carefully, conducts a proper internal investigation into how this matter was handled, and contacts us directly in hopes of reaching a fair resolution regarding both the significant financial loss and the emotional distress we experienced as a result of this situation and the unfounded accusations made against us. We are still open to direct communication with the restaurant owner or upper management in hopes of resolving this situation professionally and fairly.

Everything we ordered was packed with flavor and cooked so well, but the lamb was definitely the standout for me. It was incredibly tender, juicy, and full of flavor, the kind of dish where every bite just melts. We also loved the other dishes we tried and the sides complemented everything perfectly. Definitely a spot I'd come back to for both the food and the overall experience!

    We came for a late dinner on a Saturday night and were delighted to find reservation availability…read morefor the 3 of us still. We were whisked inside to the intimate, dimly lit interior with a DJ table tastefully tucked away in the back of the space. Service was welcoming but overall, not quite as warm and attentive as I've experienced at other places in town. We started off with the Turkish Manti Dumplings, which were the standout of the night. The complexity yet restraint of flavor, balancing indescribable buttery, roasted, earthy notes with a touch of umami and subtle tanginess from the yogurt. The Mezze Sampler was a nice option for trying three of the dips. All very tasty, but I've had slightly better elsewhere. The Sweet Jeweled rice was the other standout with flavor and textural variety that made each bite pop. I found the Roasted Brussels Sprouts undercooked and lacking the same level of flavor as the other plates. The weakest dish of the evening. The Grilled Whole Bronzino got top marks from the meat eaters at the table. Overall, 4/5 stars for a delicious meal but with tough competition around town limiting my ability to hit that 5.

The restaurant is now two floors, has different dining seating, and is beautifully decorated, which makes you feel like you've been transported to Greece. The food was a hit this time around as well- I especially enjoyed the moussaka!

And I'm Greek, so…read moreyou can take my word for it ;) While it may seem slightly off the beaten path right off Flagler, it's very conveniently located by the Knight Center metro stop and a very easy walk from the bridge. Also, the atmosphere they've created both indoors and outdoors really draws you in: beautiful foliage, gorgeous decor, and inviting decor. They play amazing Greek music to set the mood at a very reasonable volume so you can still hear your party. I've been for lunch during Miami spice and recently for dinner. Everything I've had was delicious with tons of flavor and huge portions. Both times I took enough leftovers for another meal! I especially love their zucchini fritters and their spread plate. All their spreads are so fresh and flavorful but their hummus especially was soo good. My husband and I shared the meat platter for two for dinner and enjoyed everything on it - the loukaniko was especially delicious! For dessert, you can't miss the galatoboureko, a sweet custard dessert with the flaky phyllo dough you know and love from baklava. Service was fast and friendly. Highly recommend for a lunch date or dinner date and it's super versatile: great for friends, families or romantic dates. Don't miss this beautiful restaurant in downtown!

The happy hour menu was fantastic with all $5 plates. We ordered drinks and a couple items. Then ordered more. Awesome tasting food as well as the service.

During that time, we made the mistake of trying Mortex Mediterranean, and it was an absolute disaster from the moment we walked in. The server was rude, untrained, and clueless -- she couldn't answer basic questions about the food and came back five minutes after dropping off our plates asking if we needed a to‑go box. We hadn't even started eating. My wife's dish and mine were passable, but the $39 wagyu burger for my 10‑year‑old was so bad he couldn't eat it and ended up crying. The fries were beaten up, stale, and tasted like they'd been reheated three times. When I told the waitress, she brushed it off with a useless "okay" and walked away. No apology, no fix, no manager -- nothing. For a city like Coral Gables, this place is an embarrassment. Terrible service, cheap ingredients, premium prices, and zero accountability. Even my son said we should've gone to Shake Shack because at least they respect customers and serve edible food. I wouldn't recommend this restaurant to anyone. It's garbage -- poorly trained staff and low‑quality ingredients pretending to be a real dining experience.
