We had an amazing meal and experience last night at Miru. The food was excellent from start to finish (especially the crispy rice, black cod, and octopus skewer) were standouts, but there was nothing that was not excellent. Even better was the service. We had to make the start of a show at the theatre and Andrew not only advised us on the menu, but paced the meal in a way where everything complemented the prior dish and allowed us to enjoy every course without feeling rushed. On top of that, he was friendly, knowledgeable and super attentive. Top notch service.

Loved the food and the service! Great ambiance. I got the molletes and my husband went with the Bistec a la Mexicana. We both were stuffed but couldn't stop eating. Even bought some of their hot sauce to bring home.
