$$$$Price: Very Expensive • Steakhouse • Mission Bay / South Beach
Our first visit to this Michelin star restaurant Miller and Lux was an intriguing introduction to upscale dining. From the moment we walked in, the elegant ambiance set the stage for an evening of culinary exploration.
We sampled a selection of dishes that truly highlighted the chef’s skill. The Tomahawk steak was a standout—perfectly cooked and bursting with rich, savory flavors that hinted at careful seasoning and precision in technique. The truffle mac and cheese was delightfully creamy and comforting, a modern twist on a classic dish that left us craving another bite. The salad provided a refreshing contrast with its crisp, vibrant ingredients, made tableside, while the deviled eggs were a playful yet sophisticated nod to traditional flavors, elevated with subtle, unexpected accents.
Service throughout the meal was friendly and attentive, though it didn’t quite reach the impeccable standards often associated with Michelin star dining. The staff maintained a warm and polite demeanor, but there were moments when the level of personalized attention could have been sharper.
As expected with a Michelin star establishment, the cost was on the higher end. While the prices reflect the quality of the ingredients and the artistry of the presentation, it’s important for diners to be aware that this is a premium dining experience.
In summary, despite the service falling just short of stellar, the exceptional food quality and creative dishes made this first Michelin star experience truly memorable. For those willing to indulge in a high-end culinary adventure, Miller and Lux offers a gratifying taste of innovative cuisine and refined flavors.
