    Yelp! Finally made it to the much coveted Lapeer! I must say I was most impressed with the ambiance and service from valet to table. Thanks Kierra for making us feel right at home. Let's get down to business, because we came for the food. The menu is limited for me. Great if you are a steak lover, I am not. Or, if you love seafood, I cannot eat. So, what's left, burgers, chicken and veggies. Well, veggies are limited, the greats are not on menu tonight, no broccolini, snaps, or fingerling potatoes, all recommended. Gosh darn. But, you do have Onion rings! So good, with the French fry sauces. It's all girls here tonight. Apps were complimentary bread, shrimp toast, calamari, oyster sliders and the onion rings. 3 of us chose the burger. Delish with a tub of fries and they are good. Fee got a 1/2 of chicken, cooked too hard. And, the other was still working on her oyster sliders. I wanted the big spoon black walnut ice cream with the chocolate cake, but you were all sold out. Cake stood alone. Kierra did us right tho, caramel for everyone. Y'all already know, pretty good, so I'll be back.

    I was soooo excited to finally make it to Lapeer Steak & Seafood. It's right downtown with valet available and a solid-sized parking lot. The ambience is romantic, industrial, and moody in the best way. Perfect for a date night! As a professional over-orderer, I went a little wild so I could try a bit of everything. Here's the breakdown: Shrimp toast - Do NOT come here without ordering this. SO good. Award-winning for a reason. 9.2/10 Calamari - Tasty, but could've used a dipping sauce. 8/10 Lobster pasta - Missed the mark for me. Tons of lobster, but overall pretty basic and bland. Very disappointing. 4/10 Steak au poivre - WOW. I didn't know skirt steak could be this tender?? Great sauce. 9/10 Sticky toffee pudding - Insane. The cake at the bottom is to die for. 9/10 Drinks (not pictured): Cider Solstice - 8.6/10 Sour Cherry Lemonade - 5/10 Dirty martini with blue cheese olives - 10/10 according to my fiancé... 0/10 for me haha! Overall, a great spot with solid food, excellent service (shout out to Shep!), and a super cool vibe. We'll definitely be back.

    My husband and I visited for a celebration dinner one Friday night and loved this place. He said that this was arguably the best steak that he's ever paid for. (We cook a good bit at home and it's pretty fantastic ) I will agree, the steak was delicious as was anything else. We started with the carpaccio and bread. I was shocked at how good the house dinner rolls were! Normally I'm indifferent towards bread, but I would go back for the rolls and steak alone! I ordered the lobster pasta for my entree and he had the Delmonico ribeye. To share we had the whipped potatoes and broccolini. The broccolini was amazing! Lastly we had to have some of the chocolate cake. It was divine The waitstaff were attentive and friendly. Our waitress even took some time to take our picture in the lobby before we departed dinner. Overall we loved it and are looking forward to go back and try more of the menu.

    I've heard so much about Lapeer and was finally able to try it for myself! Our server Kevin was great. Very engaging and explained the menu in detail. For appetizers we had the salt and pepper calamari and crab cakes. The crab cakes were truly the star of the show! Calamari was good, but I've had better. They also had a bread service with freshly baked rolls. Yum! For my entree I ordered the branzino, which came with fingerling potatoes and asparagus. Everything was good, I just wish the branzino was a bit more seasoned. I also didn't expect it to be fried but I may have missed that on the menu. I had 2 cocktails during my meal. The agave affair and a gimlet. Both were great! I'd like to come by and try more of the seasonal offerings!

    One of the best meals we've ever eaten!!!! We went for Valentine's Day, and because you have to have reservations, it wasn't crowded at all and there wasn't a long wait. We were seated promptly. Our server, Kevin, was very attentive and professional without being snooty. We received top notch service. Everything tasted amazing, even the bread rolls! I got an old fashioned and before I even tasted it the smell alone was amazing. We got the wedge salad, which definitely think you could share!!! My husband got the Delmonico ribeye and they cooked it to perfection. We added the horseradish sauce and pepper butter. We got potato gratin and shells and cheese as sides. In hindsight we probably could've easily just shared that as well!! The main event is the chocolate cake!!!! Normally I am not even a fan of chocolate cake but I saw pictures online, and with the ice cream..... it was perfect!!!! This is definitely a date night/special occasion type place but worth it for the experience!

    Went to Lapeer with some girl friends this week for an upscale Friendsmas dinner. We had reservations at 5:15 and 3 of the 4 of us were over 15 minutes late due to horrible traffic. Thankfully the manager gave us grace. The atmosphere was nice and mellow. Our server was helpful and have is insight on some of the popular dishes. I had the Lady in Orange drink, the calamari,the crispy broccolini, and the skirt steak au poivre. The drink was good but they didn't even give me a garnish. The calamari was cooked well but lacked much flavor, imo, it needs a sauce to accompany. I wasn't a fan of the broccolini, I think it's the crispy not the flavor. The steak wasn't cooked too my liking but it had a good taste. Not the best steak I've had. Most of the group had issues with items being extremely oily or extremely vinegar-y. There were no wow factors here. But I hope it's because they are so new. I'm hopeful that Lapeer Bham will find their groove.

    Crabcakes
    Toni-Cyntina R.

    Lapeer was an amazing experience. While waiting for my friend, I sat at the bar. I had the Agava Affair. In the beginning I thought the drink was tart, but after I finished it, I liked it. The ambiance in the room is nice. They have a business casual dress code. Once my friend and I were seated, we shared the crabcakes and salt and pepper calamari. The crabcakes were delicious! The calamari did taste like salt and pepper but it needed something else with it. Bread service was provided and it was delicious. I ordered the branzino fish with potato fingerlings and asparagus. I didn't finish all my food due to the other meals. But I enjoyed everything! I also got a drink that was an espresso martini. Our server was Kevin and he was amazing!

    I recently had my first dining experience at Lapeer for a private dinner, and overall it was a great experience. Complimentary valet is always a plus and made arriving super easy. The menu for the evening was thoughtfully curated. For Course 1, we had wagyu beef carpaccio with toasted sourdough, salt & pepper calamari, and jumbo shrimp cocktail--such a strong start, everything was fresh and flavorful. Course 2 was an oyster platter. It was my first time having raw oysters! They weren't bad but I don't have to have them again. Course 3 included benne seed dinner rolls and a spring mix salad, and the rolls were definitely a standout--so good! For the entrée, I chose the 7 oz filet mignon, which was cooked well and very satisfying. Sides included whipped potatoes, crispy broccolini, and cheesy shells, and the cheesy shells were easily one of my favorite parts of the night. I also had the "Lady in Orange" cocktail, which was very tasty and paired well with the meal. Dessert was the Lapeer blackout cake with house-made sea salt caramels, and I also tried the nightcap--it was like a frozen pudding version of an espresso martini and SO good. My only complaint would be the service. For a Thursday night, it was surprisingly slow, and the timing felt off--the presentation I was attending at the restaurant actually ended before the appetizers had even fully come out, which was a bit disappointing. Overall, the food and drinks were amazing and definitely the highlight. I'd come back again, just hoping for a smoother and more timely service experience next time.

    Wowza! So... I am not normally a big fan of the traditional steakhouse dinner. But, Lapeer is such a welcome addition to Birmingham. The dining room was much larger than I expected, there's lots of people that already knew about this spot, I think I heard their reservations are pretty full for the next month. We were seated by their lovely hosts at a table in the far back corner. They have a nice wine menu with cocktails and beer, too. A glass of wine runs about $14-20, which seems pretty standard to me. Our drinks and appetizer did take a little while to come out, but they made up for it in spades by bringing us out a couple extra sides and with a visit from the chef and owner, who were very friendly. We started off with the calamari, which was quite spicy and zesty. It was delicious, although I do wish it had a dipping sauce on the side. They followed up with the house rolls for the table, which are made by their in-house pastry chef. These were fluffy, buttery perfection. I ordered the skirt steak, which was in-cre-di-ble. The char on the outside was outstanding, and the gravy/mushroom sauce on top was so delicious. Part of me is a bit overwhelmed by the concept of ordering your steak and side/s separately, but I managed. Definitely order your sides with the intention of sharing with the table, they're generous portions. Out of the sides, the crispy broccoli situation was delicious, and the creamed corn was certainly a standout. The potatoes au gratin and mac and cheese were delicious as well. The fries hit the mark, but I'd recommend trying something else. Everything was all around 5 stars, and sadly we were stuffed very quickly. Hold on, though. Never so stuffed that I'm not gonna order that chocolate cake. It was a thick, brownie-like cake. Definitely large enough to split with up to 6 people, I'd say. My one chief complaint would be that the table wasn't big enough for all the food we ordered, haha! I believe they're working out some of the service details with their wait staff, but Lapeer is 100% earning a spot on my favorite restaurants in Birmingham list. It's spendy, bring people here to impress them. I'll be back for some more of that skirt steak, and hope to eventually see a rotating/seasonal side menu.

    Delicious! The service was fantastic. We had the scallops, a fish (forgot which one) and the branzino. Not to mention a few desserts ;) Will definitely be call when town.

    French onion soup
    Alison L.

    Dark, modern, elegant ambiance with a nice bar inside. Attentive and knowledgeable service. The French onion soup was cheesy and delicious with plenty of onions, however I wish it had a few more croutons. Still 100% recommend to order it. It's a huge portion and they will split the soup into two bowls if you want to share. The frozen espresso martini is definitely more coffee and liquor forward than it is sweet, but the hazelnut whipped creme on top adds a delicious sweetness. The West Indies Crab Salad came with a delicious homemade hot sauce. The lobster pasta was good but not for me, as the sauce is very mild and I prefer more flavor. Their tuna entree was also decent, but I say skip everything that isn't a steak. They were out of the Wagyu when we went, so we got the ribeye which was delicious and served with a whole roasted garlic and butter of your choice. The truffle butter was delicious. They also gave us their giant blackout cake for desert which was extremely rich but amazing. We ended the night with delicious complementary homemade caramels.

    I recently dined at Lapeer and overall had a great experience. Our reservation was for 7:45pm, but we weren't seated until about 30 minutes later. Since it's a new restaurant, we were understanding, though it's something to be aware of if you're planning a visit during busy hours. Once we were seated, everything turned around. To start we tried the oysters, which were fresh and flavorful. The calamari was slightly bland but very fresh. For our entree the table shared a steak that was cooked to absolute perfection. The corn had the perfect amount of spice and was surprisingly delicious. To drink my dirty martini with stuffed olives was spot-on as well. Our server was friendly and attentive, which made the experience even better. Despite the delayed seating, I'd definitely come back.

    We celebrate birthdays in stages. One stage is a fine restaurant where we can create memories. This place was well chosen. From the point of entrance with complimentary parking, coat checking, booth and table seating, with a nice bar all was nice. My Brazino was crispy and flavored to perfection. Crispy brocollini and potatoes were delicious as well. Could not finish my meal. Got togo plates. My cocktail was perfect as I had not had one like that before. Our waitress and all other servers did a great job. We are planning on returning.

    There must have been changes in the kitchen since our last visit. This time, we were disappointed…read more One of us had seared scallops with snap peas. The dark sauce was perhaps balsamaic based; it hid the delicate taste of the scallops. One was a bit underdone. The snap peas were soggy and very stringly. Our second dish was shrimp with fried rice. There were 6 shrimp with almost 2 cups of rice. The egg-over-light on top was not needed. I wish that the shrimp were simply done with a smaller amount of good crispy rice without the added bits. We both wish that the seafood had not been so masked by other things. Good fresh fish done simply would have been our preference. Our waiter, Rick, was pleasant and helpful. The room was noisier than we remember.

The fish was perfectly crunchy and battered, and the fries were perfect! -Spice Crusted Yellowfin Tuna: my boyfriend loved this! It wasn't my favorite, but the potato stack that it is served with was phenomenal... they know how to do potatoes here. Without a doubt, I'll be back here.

We were seated promptly handed menus and about 30 seconds later approached by the waitress for drink orders. We asked for a drink menu as there was nothing to advertise what drinks they were serving.

We ordered drinks and she returned 2 mins later to take our food order. We ordered appetizers, salad and main courses. The drinks came quickly, the salads came right after and then about 3 mins later, the appetizers came out. 3 mins after that, the main courses arrived so we had plates stacked everywhere on the table and quickly tried to finish our salads and appetizers before the main dish got cold. The waitress never returned to the table until she brought the bill. The plates were all cleared by someone else. We saw her leave a bill at the table next to us and wait until they checked it over and figured out a payment method, so when she arrived at our table we just handed her a credit card. The food was average but the overall experience was terrible. I realize she was probably new and this may have been her first night but some training would go a long way! For $180 dinner, we expected a lot more.
