The prime skirt steak was soooo seasoned and delicious. I loved the ambiance and everyone appeared to have a nice time. There was a little wait for the food, but nothing to fuss about. The building is beautiful and you can valet or self park. I will definitely return. read more

In my 3rd attempt to experience the service that this restaurant promotes, once again, it was a fail. I've ended up back here(not by choice) each time due to celebrations with 1st timers and each time I've had bad service in some aspect. From service to food, and this time both. This last and final time, I experienced the most degrading service encounter ever! To begin, we were trying to order apps, however, the waiter appeared to be overwhelmed so he kept leaving the table and coming back before completing the order. All but one of our guests got apps, and we were done by the time hers came. No explanation, justification or apology was given. Next, one of the steak entrees we ordered was extremely overcooked. We asked for medium, it was so burned you couldn't taste the actual steak. There was no pink center and the temperature of the steak was just not right. Their justification was that they charbroil their steaks and "it just does that". So they remade it. Still the same awful taste, but we just accepted it. Then, I got my lobster pasta that was so drowned in a watery sauce that it appeared to be soup. When I tried the first bite, it immediately taste like spoiled lemon juice. In an effort to try and revive the meal, I asked for condiments as well as I added my shrimp and sauce from my app into for a better taste. It was still disgusting so I sent it back. The manager came over for small talk and it was obvious he came over because our waiter had complained. However, he never acknowledged any of our issues so it seemed very random.. The waiter just took my meal and didn't ask if I wanted a replacement meal or anything. Here's the kicker....when I receive the check, they charged me for it. So I asked for it to be removed. The manager then comes back over and was extremely argumentative in telling me that they didn't remove it because I hadn't eaten the meat out of it, which was a complete lie! He continued to be very accusatory and dismissive when I tried to explain. I even asked that he replay the camera footage to see what I did with the meal. He continued to be rude and dismissive and basically called me a lie. He told me "I saw it" and that they had discussed it in the back. We were there for hours after I returned the pasta, so I asked him why no one came out to address it or mention it if that was the conclusion they came to and he couldn't explain. It's my thought that management should have come out and told me that they couldn't take the meal back or something so that the matter could have been addressed immediately! Instead, they allowed us to order more drinks and desserts. After going back and forth with me for several minutes, he stormed off mid conversation and took the meal off. He didn't return to reissue the check, instead he sent a totally different waitress that we had not seen all night to just hand us the check. In summary, I could say so much more but, I'll say if you are well versed in fine dining and receiving the quality, service and food that you pay for, DO NOT VISIT LAPEER. You will be highly disappointed. There's not too many upscale/fine dining restaurants in the city that I haven't experienced and this is by far the most overrated. In addition to this, the manager had our valet keys so I had to go back in and overheard the manger discussing the situation with the staff and referring to it as "stupid". I'd like to think that the owner/operators of this establishment would not want their business represented this way. So upon receipt of this review, I'd like to speak with someone to further discuss my experience in an effort to prevent other guests from having the same terrible treatment that I received. I will never visit again, nor would I recommend anyone else to go. It was very obvious that the manager had no concern in retaining customers. His handling of this situation really expressed that he didn't care if we returned or not. Nor does he care about keeping a positive reputation for the restaurant based on the service our party of 8 received. read more

Excellent food and service. Eloise was our server and did a great job. We ordered the calamari burger filet and risotto and creamed corn. Ordered the cranberry crush and a cosmo too. Impressive place and it was packed. Check it out! read more

The first time I came to Lapeer a couple months ago, it was one of the top five meals I've ever had. My second visit wasn't as impressive. While the service and people are nice, it's incredibly slow. Dinner for two took 2.5 hours. There's a lot of sitting and waiting between courses. read more

Lapeer - Crème brûlée and chocolate cake - Steakhouses Near Me - Birmingham, Alabama

We had one of the best meals we've had in Birminghmam at Lapeer! My husband and I had the carpaccio for an appetizer, then we split the ribeye as our entree. We got the frites, broccolini (we underestimated the broccolini - it was amazing!), and potatoes au gratin as sides. We had the chocolate cake as a dessert and it was amazing - especially for my husband who loves chocolate! The service was incredible and our waiter (Shep) was great with wine recommendations for our meal. read more

Food and ambience were excellent. Service not so much. Had done items between drinks and food that we had to record waiter that we ordered. Would consider giving it another try. We had a table for eight with gratuity already added so couldn't adjust tip to reflect poor service read more

Amazing atmosphere! We were served by a beautiful girl named Memory Lane! She was such a spot on and such a pleasure. Definitely would recommend. read more

I enjoyed the Lapeer! They have complementary valet. The ambiance was great. Low lighting with such a vibe. Great for a dinner date or girls night chat. The food was delicious. My server Kevin was informative and nice. Drinks 10/10, Food 9/10 (burger was over salted everything else 10/10. read more

Lapeer is a fantastic restaurant with a great vibe and quick/friendly service. Their scallops and shrimp risotto is really strong in portion and taste. All of the flavors of the meal work really well together and all the textures make for really a great meal in every bite. Their apple cider drink is one of the best I've ever had. The same goes for their pineapple-passion fruit sorbet. Highly recommend both if you like those flavors. I can't wait to go back and check out their steak options. read more

We made a reservation for Valentine's Day to honestly try their chocolate cake but ended up leaving utterly impressed. We have been to other fine dining places and this was one that was definitely one to remember. We were seated 10 minutes after our reservation time and less than 5 minutes our waiter came by. Jakob was great, he helped us decide what to eat and answered all of our questions and more! The ambiance of the restaurant was dime but welcoming with a nice tv fireplace in the background of every room from what I saw. We started off with an appetizer; the shrimp toast; that was very filling but delicious and the waiter brought us an extra side of bread to finish the gravy that was left over. All the flavors compliment eachother very nicely. We also ordered drinks while waiting for our entree. For our entree we ordered the Lapeer burger and the pasta lobster and both were very delicious and also filling. We ended the night ordering the famous chocolate cake that looks just as big as Miss Trunchbull cake from movie Matilda. Overall, I definitely would come back and eat here to try different foods on the menu and even though it's on the pricier side, its definitely one of the best places here in Birmingham to try! read more

We celebrated our son's birthday here on a Friday night. The ambiance is edgy, dark, and modern. The service was outstanding, don't remember our servers name, but he was expertly knowledgeable and very attentive. Now to the food which was memorable, beautiful, divine and delicious! Presentation impeccable, seasoned perfectly. The dinner rolls were warm, chewy, remarkable. The Calamari and Carpaccio apps were a delightful tastebud explosion! For entrees we had the Lobster Pasta and Skirt and Hanger steaks. My pasta was to die for, four generous lobster claws, house made pasta in a cheesy, spicy sauce. I'm from New Hampshire and can say without a doubt that the lobster was cooked perfectly! Such a treat for a NH girl! The boys loved their steaks, very tender and cooked exactly as requested (medium rare). For sides they had the Frites Royal, delicious but a little cold and Beet Salad which could have had a few more beets, but it was superior in taste. Best meal I've had since moving here 13 years ago. Now unfortunately, the one negative. My son the birthday boy was served the wrong meal, so while the rest of us started eating he had to wait. He said it was fine, but I was very disappointed. They apologized profusely, but no comp, which I thought was highly unusual for such a high end establishment. Will we return, I say yes absolutely, the husband said maybe. read more

Lapeer is a MUST visit when in Birmingham. The ambiance is breathtaking. The service was impeccable, ask for Shep. The food, there are not enough words to describe how wonderful the food was. We each ordered a cooked to perfection steak with tons of flavor. The sides come family style & were each something to rave about. There is a great cocktail & wine list & if you're not a steak person they have other lovely options. Oh, and don't forget the lovely oysters. We will be back! read more

The food was delicious. We all tried the Brazino for the entree. Also we had the calamari excellent. Nina our waitress was good. We will return read more

Delicious all around is what I'd say. I can't remember what I had but I recommended this place immediately

We went here for dinner for NYE and it was the perfect vibe. It was dark and moody, something Birmingham needed! The menu was great and we loved everything we got. The lobster roll was fabulous and so was the trout dip. The complimentary homemade rolls were amazinggggg!! And they also bring you homemade caramels with the check. Love the little things they do to make your experience stand out, very thoughtful vibe. Will definitely be a go to date spot for us! And Shep, our server, was a 10/10. Very attentive with great rec's! Also- we had some last minute guests and I figured they would not be able to adjust our reservation from 2 people to 4 on such short notice for a holiday night. I messaged them the night before and it was adjusted before I woke up the next morning. Great service and care for their guests! read more

The ambience was very chic, food and service were amazing. Will definitely return. The waiter (Matt) very knowledgeable and made excellent recommendations read more

When you spend $100 on a steak you have high expectations. Wha we got was crispy on the outside and the flavor was good but not great. The sides were delicious, as was the French onion soup and rolls. The ambience was romantic and the staff was great. But... I wanted a great steak and that didn't happen. read more

The service and food were excellent. It was a great environment. Great variety of food choices.

Go here. It was such a great dining experience, everyone from the valet (complimentary) to the hostess and servers were welcoming and top notch. The decor and ambiance is worth it alone, but the food, the food is phenomenal. The bartender is talented, both the old fashioned and the espresso martini were crafted perfectly. The rolls with that whipped butter started the meal. French onion soup was good and piping hot. We had the ribeye and the fries as well as the filet and potatoes gratin. Both cuts of meat were cooked perfectly and melt in your mouth delicious. Likely the best filet I've had in Birmingham outside of my own house. I'm sure all the butters and toppers are wonderful but they aren't needed, the roasted garlic melts like butter but the steaks themselves are just delicious. Don't sleep on the fries, there's a ton of them though so be ready to share. The potatoes gratin were good but incredibly rich, plan to share them as well. I also recommend the chocolate cake, there's no way we could finish even half of it after everything else, but it is well worth the splurge. Will definitely come back and recommend to anyone looking for a place to celebrate something or just have an amazing dinner experience. read more

It was good. Sides lived up to expectations and steak was cooked properly. I don't have any complaints, but it was not a special meal.

Awesome service and food, drinks were excellent also a bit pricey but worth the money

Dinner at Lapeer can only be described as absheer delight from beginning to end. Our server, Eloise, was phenomenal. She provided detailed recommendations and insight that made our selection a breeze. Our daughter started her meal with one of the oysters. The house made hot sauce is some of the best we have ever tasted! Hopefully, they will offer it for sale in the future. Next, she had the 7oz filet. It was cooked to melt in your mouth perfection. The addition of the rosemary butter made it simply amazing. It came with perfectly cooked and seasoned broccolini and a head of roasted garlic that truly gave life to the plate. My husband had the risotto. Delicately flavored with perfectly cooked cloud like scallops (best we have ever eaten) and shrimp. I took Eloise's advice and had the burger. Yes, smash burger at a high end restaurant is out of character for me. Let me tell you...The lightly cooked, with extra jus and extra onions was extraordinary. It was served with some of the best fries crispy seasoned fries. Since dinner went so well, we tried one of each of their main desserts. The espresso crème brûlée was a perfectly balanced delicate end to a wonderful meal. I could have done without the wafer that was included, but someone might like it. The sticky toffee Sunday was perfection with so many flavors and textures! And finally the slice of Chocolate Cake could have served a family of five. It was truly decadent. The overall atmosphere was a perfect beginning for a nice night on the town. While Lapeer has not made the Michelin recommended list, rest assured their day is coming. Thank you Eloise for making our night out special and congratulations Lapeer, we will be back! read more

Great experience!! Our server Kierra was on-point. She was quick, attentive, and very knowledgeable about the menu. Started with the shrimp toast (a must-have) and moved on to the filet which was phenomenal. My favorite dish of the evening was hands down the lobster roll. The building lies in a perfect part of Birmingham and the restaurant was beautifully designed. Highly recommend!! read more

We loved everything we had. Great steaks with perfect topping options . Loved the atmosphere and service. We will be going back!
