My cousin chose this spot for her birthday dinner, and after my first visit, I completely…read moreunderstand why she's a regular. Nestled in Wynwood, the restaurant has a chic yet welcoming atmosphere with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. It's the kind of place that feels lively without being overwhelming. From the moment we arrived, the hospitality stood out. Every staff member was warm and attentive, and our server, Radomere, truly elevated the experience. Managing a party of 12 is no easy task, yet everything flowed seamlessly. He was attentive, personable, and made sure our celebration felt special from start to finish. With a group our size, we took full advantage of the menu. We shared oysters, escargot, crispy artichokes, leeks, beet salad, French onion soup, tuna carpaccio, steak tartare, and a beautifully curated cheese platter. Every appetizer arrived impeccably presented and packed with flavor. It was one of those rare meals where every dish earned compliments around the table. The cocktails and wine were just as enjoyable especially the dirty martinis, which were a hit with our group. For the main course, we ordered everything from the cheeseburger and mussels to the lemon pasta, spaghetti, steak, and chicken. Once again, every plate was beautifully executed and, more importantly, absolutely delicious. There wasn't a weak link in the meal. Dessert was the perfect finale. The dark chocolate mousse was rich, silky, and easily my favorite, though the profiteroles and lemon tart were excellent as well. Great food is one thing, but when you pair it with exceptional service, it makes for a memorable dining experience. This was an easy five-star visit, and I'll definitely be back to explore more of the menu.

I was really excited to try Pastis after hearing so much about it, but unfortunately, the…read moreexperience didn't live up to the hype. The Good: The restaurant itself is beautiful. The ambiance is vibrant and has a lovely, authentic French feel. The host was very welcoming and made a great first impression when we walked in. The Food: Given the reputation, we expected the kitchen to deliver, but most of the dishes fell flat: French Onion Soup: Just okay nothing special compared to other versions I've had. Artichoke with Aioli: Good! The aioli had great flavor and was easily the highlight of the savory dishes. New York Strip Steak: Very disappointing. It lacked flavor, felt dry, and was just "whatever." Pastis Burger: Like the steak, it was underwhelming and missed the mark on flavor. Crème Brûlée: Saved the ending it was executed well and tasted great. The Service: Our server was polite enough, but completely disengaged. He didn't offer any suggestions or attempt to sell any specials we had to ask all the questions ourselves. To top it off, after we ordered coffee alongside our dessert, he simply dropped the check on the table and vanished. We felt rushed, like he was just waiting to clock out and go home.

The management and staff were exceptionally helpful, attentive, and accommodating to our large party from start to finish. The service was outstanding, the food was spectacular, and every member of the team went above and beyond to make the celebration memorable.

Highly recommend for private events, family gatherings, or simply an amazing dining experience.

I came here for dinner with a party of 4, and someone else in our group had selected this…read morerestaurant and was picking up the tab, so I can't comment on the final check. I didn't read any of the reviews of LPM before coming here, but now that I'm reading through some of them as I draft mine, I can honestly say I don't understand the hype or how/why this place has garnered so many 5 star reviews based on my own experience. I note that many of the highest rated reviews are nearly a decade old, so maybe LPM used to be better back in the day? We arrived just ahead of our reservation and were seated right away. Service wasn't terribly attentive, yet we also felt rushed at times. Our server explained a bit about the menu and when we said we'd planned to order a bottle of wine and one of the guys in our party was perusing the wine list, the waiter more or less insisted he was sending the sommelier to make a recommendation, rather than asking if we'd like him to send the sommelier. When indicating we just wanted a decent mid-priced red, their wine expert recommended a $170 bottle which ended up being good, but not at all worthy of that pricepoint. We felt rushed to order our meals after they visited twice to ask if we'd made our selections, though we were clearly more interested in chatting for a bit before seriously looking at the menu. Later, shortly after we'd been given bread they cleared our plates along with bread slices we'd just been given, saying our meals were nearly ready - yet they weren't delivered for several more minutes. It was explained to us that most people order several dishes which are brought to the table as they're prepared, but on this night we all ordered from the Miami Spice menu as each of us saw items listed there we were interested in but also, since we were being prompted repeatedly to make our selections, it was just faster to order from that simplified menu. When they brought each of our Miami Spice courses - salads, entrees and deserts, they sat them in the center of the table as if we were expected to divide and share them. Each time they brought a course we each took the plates we'd ordered and only ate what we'd selected, but the staff didn't take the hint and still just sat everything in the middle of the table when they'd bring our food. I must say everything I ate was well-prepared and flavorful, though the portions weren't very large (which is sometimes to be expected when ordering the Miami Spice offering). In contrast to all the 5 star rave reviews for this place, during my own experience here at LPM I found that the serving staff lacked polish and we felt rushed during certain points, but a lack of any attention when we'd have appreciated it at other times. They sent a sommelier we didn't ask for who recommended a bottle that was overpriced vs. quality, and had an experience that I'd just summarize as a bit odd overall. I can now say I've been to LPM and experienced it for myself. I can also say with some confidence that, with all the other restaurant offerings in this city, including many in the Brickell area, I don't think I'll have any desire to return here.

Despite my usual skepticism toward Michelin-starred spots, L'Atelier de Joël Robuchon in the Design…read moreDistrict completely owns its two stars. The journey begins at the charming entrance, where host Stefanie greets you with genuine warmth, instantly easing you into what becomes an unforgettable night. Inside, the room opens into a sleek, futuristic space defined by dramatic black and red accents, moody lighting, and wood-grained counter seating that puts you front and center to the open kitchen action. At the bar and counter, the experience steps up even further. Cocktail offerings like the Elixir del Sol (Patrón Reposado, Chambord, and bright passion fruit) or citrus-forward creations set a vibrant tone for the meal. Leslie and Principe brings incredible energy and deep knowledge to the table, seamlessly guiding you through every course. The meal kicks off with an indulgent Foie Gras Royale starter featuring rich parmesan foam, leading into an exceptional lineup of entrees: La Pintade: A refined guinea hen terrine elevated by black truffle, chilled consommé, zucchini, and golden beets. Les Poireaux: Tender, wasabi-braised leeks balanced with fresh radish, dill, and egg yolk. For the main course, Le Flétan delivers a pristine, olive oil-poached halibut in a delicate clam-vermouth broth. All of the courses paired with the finest Albariño wine, Carralcola and Rose. The grand finale, Le Chocolat Sensation, pairs rich Guanaja chocolate crémeux with smooth white chocolate ice cream and an oreo crumble. L'Atelier hits every mark, blending world-class culinary technique with vibrant, unforgettable hospitality.

We sat at the Chef's 34-seat dining counter facing the open kitchen, which I highly recommend. We…read moreenjoyed watching the chefs work with such precision and hearing their "Yes, Chef" responses throughout the evening. There are also smaller tables around the restaurant, but you would miss much of the theater of watching the chefs at work. Another advantage of sitting at the counter was the remarkable pacing: as we finished our plates, they were often cleared within seconds and the next course arrived within minutes. In addition to the Miami Spice menu, there was a four-course seasonal Summer Menu, which we ordered, and an eight-course Evolution Menu, all with optional wine pairings. The Miami Spice and Evolution had fixed courses. For each of the four courses on the Summer Menu, we had several choices. There were also additional courses, including bread and butter, a foie gras starter with Parmesan foam, and a cantaloupe sorbet palate cleanser. Since we were celebrating our anniversary, we were also presented with a stunning raspberry and white chocolate heart dessert to share. I normally avoid foie gras out of compassion for the goose, but there wasn't an alternative offered. I have to admit, however, that this one was delicious. The essence of Maury "Vieilles Vignes" gave it a faint caramel-like flavor that paired beautifully with the richness of the foie gras. And the hot cheese bread is not to be missed. One bite with the softened, creamy butter and I was already thinking, "Okay, I'm glad I came." For our first courses, we both chose the Japanese hamachi with toasted almond emulsion and winter citrus. It was beautifully presented and a light, gentle way to begin. For the second course, I ventured further outside my usual comfort zone with the Japanese sea urchin, served with onion custard, asparagus, and coffee essence, while my husband chose the leeks braised in wasabi with radish, dill, and egg yolk. After snorkeling and seeing sea urchins in their natural habitat, I appreciated the opportunity to finally taste a really good one. The leeks were also amazing. I was still a little hungry when we reached the main course, but that was about to change. I chose the olive oil-poached halibut with clam-vermouth broth and a spring vegetable bouquet. My husband had the Mediterranean branzino with lemon balm emulsion, crème fraîche, and a caviar-stuffed tomato. The halibut was an exceptionally delicate fish in a light and genuinely delicious broth. I had been worried the clam-vermouth broth might taste overly fishy, but it didn't at all, and I savored every drop. The signature mashed potatoes served alongside the meal were decadently rich, buttery, and filling. For dessert, we both chose Le Chocolat Sensation -- Guanaja chocolate crémeux with white chocolate ice cream and Oreo cookie crumble. It arrived beneath a beautiful, thin disk of chocolate concealing the chocolate, cookie crumble, and ice cream below. If you had any hunger remaining, it was certainly cured by this point. Our anniversary raspberry and white chocolate heart complemented the flavors beautifully and made for a lovely photograph and memory of the evening. Our waitstaff, including Oriana, was absolutely outstanding. Service was attentive and polished and each dish was carefully introduced as it arrived. Combined with the extraordinary choreography of the open kitchen, the pacing made the entire dinner feel seamless. This was our first two-Michelin-star restaurant in the United States, and I'm glad we experienced it. It wasn't simply dinner; sitting at the Chef's counter gave us a front-row seat to the precision, creativity, and teamwork required to produce food at this level.

Best Restaurant i've been to in a while…read more La Fresca Francesa absolutely blew us away. We typically don't eat French food, so we weren't sure what to expect, but this was phenomenal from start to finish. We started with the Assiette de Fromage. All three cheeses were really good, and the jam they served alongside them paired incredibly well with the cheese. It was a great way to start the meal. We also tried the Boudin Noir, which was probably one of the most unique dishes we had. I'd never had anything quite like it. The pear really brought out the flavor of the sausage and complemented it surprisingly well. The Chicken Vol-au-Vent was probably my favorite savory dish. I'm not even sure where to start. The sauce was excellent, the chicken was tender, and all the other toppings in the filling came together really well. I would definitely order this again. The Lapin à la Moutarde was also very good. I really enjoyed the rabbit, and the potatoes were a great accompaniment. For dessert, we had the French Salted Butter & Sugar Crêpe, and it was phenomenal. The simplicity of the dish really worked, and the butter in particular made the dish. The service was amazing. Milena was awesome, super attentive, knowledgeable, and really helpful when walking us through the menu. Everyone in the restaurant was incredibly nice and welcoming. The restaurant itself was also beautiful and really well decorated. It has a very unique atmosphere that adds to the experience. Overall, La Fresca Francesa was truly a one-of-a-kind restaurant.
