Really good experience with great food. Loved the free bread service which you never get anywhere anymore! Linguine and clams was a little too garlicky for me, but the mussels, lamb, small bites, and cauliflower gratin were fantastic. Service was great too.

Miru went above and beyond to make our evening perfect. The reservation timing was flawless, our booth was cozy and inviting, and our server was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, guiding us through the menu to accommodate my guest’s seashell allergy and not over order. The wagyu and nigiri were top quality and tasteful. Every bite was a delight. It was such a special night. Thank you, Miru!
