Las' Lap

“I stopped by Las’ Lap after work on a Thursday after hearing good things about it. My friend and I tried the jerk chicken egg rolls and the codfish fritters for our starters. If I had to choose between these two options, the codfish fritters would be my pick. For the big tings, we got the jerk chicken and the oxtail. Both of these were amazing, and the sides they came with were tasty. The service was good. The waitress recommended drinks and answered all our questions. The ambiance was great. Dim lighting with great music made it feel very intimate. I would say take advantage of happy hour if you want to visit, but I've already recommended this place to multiple people since my visit. I will be returning!”

“I have been dying to try this place for a while now, heard nothing but great things, and it did not disappoint. The vibe was nice even though I went on a Wednesday and the staff was so friendly. It’s a bit hard to find the entrance, as it is very discrete (speakeasy vibes), but once inside the place is decorated really nice. I had the jerk chicken eggrolls and it was sooo good that we ordered a second batch! The drinks were very tasty and tropical! I definitely recommend this place, it’s a great date spot.”

“if you enjoy Caribbean food - this is your spot! love the vibes and everything. we thought the music was way too loud, couldn’t even hear each other talk but it was still a good time and i’d come back to try their drinks • sweet chili wings 10/10, so crispy and juicy within every bite. it was our absolute favorite! $12 for 6 wings • macaroni pie 9/10 it was so good, not heavy at all, and would totally get it again! we saw so many people having this on their table so we had to get it. $8 • jerk chicken - this was so delicious and full of flavor. i wished the jerk sauce was more spicy but it was still very good! loved the rice and beans and especially the cabbage😅 it was such a good combo! $25 • jerk shrimp sliders - very good! this was served with coco bread. $18 they have so many cocktails to choose from! unfortunately, i didn’t love their espresso martini and didn’t try another drink but my friend loved hers! the espresso martini was not made with espresso for me - very light colored and not foamy. however, the party next to me had a darker drink and it was foamy.”

“Been to Las’ Lap twice within the past couple of months. The first time was in December and the second time was Valentine’s Day weekend with my friend. It’s a smaller space with two floors, and it can definitely be hard to find a seat. The decor reminds me of being on an island but still has a rustic feel. I’m not the best at describing design, but that’s the closest I can get. Even though it’s small, I actually like that because it makes the space feel more intimate. Music is a mix of hip hop, R&B, reggae, and Afrobeats depending on the night. Both times I went, the DJs were good. The crowd both times felt more 27+, which I appreciated. Now the drinks. I’ll be honest, they are hit or miss and can get very pricey, which I understand comes with the location. In December I ordered the Christmas Sidecar for $18 and wasn’t really a fan, so I switched to a Hennessy Sidecar for $26. That one was very good, but for the price I did not feel like the liquor to cost ratio fully matched. Valentine’s Day weekend is where things got interesting. My friend and I initially ordered a Don Julio Reposado margarita and a regular margarita. When the bartender rang it up, the total was about $77. We were honestly shocked. I asked why, and he explained it was because of the top shelf liquor. I switched it to two regular margaritas and the total came to $46.40. That is about a $30 difference for one drink, which felt excessive. The margaritas were decent. We eventually switched to rum punches at $18 each, which we both preferred, even though they are still on the pricier side. Now the food. The Jerk Chicken egg rolls are really the star. I highly recommend them. The seasoning is great and the sauces they pair with it really bring everything together. If you are expecting large chunks of chicken inside, this might not be what you’re looking for, but flavor wise they deliver. The last time I ordered them to go, the presentation looked a little thrown together, but the taste was still there. Overall I would give it 3.5 out of 5 stars. I would go back now that I know what to order. I enjoy the vibe, the music, and those jerk chicken egg rolls really are that good. Just be prepared to spend, especially if you prefer specific or top shelf liquor.”

“I had an extremely disturbing experience at Last Lap today that honestly left me feeling like my card was stolen. I went there with two friends and paid for our drinks. I handed my credit card directly to the bartender/waitress to open a tab, which is completely normal at a bar. About five minutes later I asked to close out the tab because we were about to leave. Instead of simply giving me my card back, I noticed the staff behind the bar quietly searching around. No one said anything to me. They didn’t tell me they lost my card. They didn’t explain what was going on. I just stood there watching them look around until I finally asked, “Where is my card?” Only then did they say, “We’re looking.” That was the entire explanation. I asked where it could have gone since I had literally handed it to them minutes earlier and it had never left their possession. Their response was basically that they didn’t know. No accountability, no urgency, and no real explanation. Think about how absurd that is. I hand you my card, come back five minutes later, and suddenly no one knows where it is? The situation became extremely suspicious and concerning very quickly. My card had only been in the hands of the staff, yet they were acting like it had just disappeared into thin air. Because they couldn’t produce it and no one seemed to be taking the situation seriously, I ended up having to call the police. Even after the police were called and involved, the staff still showed absolutely no urgency in trying to locate my card. There was no sense that they understood how serious this situation was. Losing a customer’s credit card, especially when it was just handed to you minutes earlier, should be treated as a major issue. To be completely honest, I believe someone at this bar stole it. There is no logical explanation for how a card handed directly to staff could disappear within minutes unless someone intentionally took it. What makes it even worse is that they didn’t even tell me the card was missing. I had to notice them searching and ask questions myself before they even admitted they were “looking” for it. Now I’m stuck canceling my card, monitoring my accounts for fraud, and dealing with the stress of something that should never have happened in the first place. I would strongly warn anyone going here: do not hand your card to the staff. Based on my experience, it may not come back. Completely unacceptable”
