Mida never disappoints. Love the Insalada Mista as it is so simple and fresh and w/ pistachios. Wish South End had the Pizza b/c it is perfection. All of the homemade pastas are delicious.

The three of us had a wonderful dinner, beverages were delicious, mains were good. My mother had the lemoncello shrimp and she said it was really good, but she didn’t taste very much lemon flavor if at all. That would be my only negative from the whole night. I will definitely be back!

Bar Vlaha was absolutely delicious! While being high-end cuisine, it had a very homestyle feel to it. The food was hearty and tasty, not intimidating. Would highly recommend!
