Master Critic Review
LPM Restaurant & Bar
8.4
The Miami outpost of a London-born group that opened here in 2017, LPM channels the French Riviera through a dining room dressed in linens, marble, and Belle Epoque mirrors—plus a terrace that makes business lunches feel like vacations. Executive chef Brian Brumec executes founder Raphael Duntoye's ingredient-obsessed Niçoise menu, with produce flown in from Mediterranean markets and a wine list that earned Wine Spectator's 2025 Best of Award of Excellence. Service runs the gamut from 'best I've ever experienced' to frustratingly slow depending on your server lottery, and the noise level can spike. This is a power-lunch staple for Brickell's finance crowd and a reliable impress-the-client play, though the $35 three-course lunch softens the bill for those watching spend.

Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Yes, with timing considerations. Elegant French Riviera-inspired ambiance with dimmed lighting and art pieces sets a romantic scene. However, inside gets very noisy on weekends - book Monday-Wednesday or request outdoor patio seating for easier conversation.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Weekday lunches and early dinners (Mon-Wed) have better walk-in odds. Thursday-Saturday nights are packed - book at least a week ahead. Sunday evenings are quieter and more walkable.
Is it kid-friendly? Not ideal for young children. Upscale, adult-oriented fine dining with no kids menu. Older teens and well-behaved tweens are welcome. If bringing younger kids, book an early seating and request patio. Smart casual dress code applies to all guests.
Is it good for groups? Yes - can accommodate larger parties with advance notice. Covered dining terrace fits 53 guests, main room holds 100, and there's a terrace area for up to 25. Private dining options available for special occasions.
Is there outdoor seating? Yes - gorgeous heated outdoor patio with bay views across the street. Covered terrace seating for 53 guests. Patio is quieter than inside and recommended for conversation.
Best For
Better for: Upscale French-Mediterranean experience, business dinners, impressing clients, wine enthusiasts (Wine Spectator award-winning list), and polished service.
Consider Alternatives If: You want a quiet conversation—noise levels can make it difficult on busy nights. Or if you're budget-conscious—this is $$$$ fine dining.
