    I recently made the trip from Wisconsin to take my girlfriend out for a special date, and the experience exceeded expectations. The service was excellent, the food was outstanding, and the music created the perfect ambiance. Following our server’s recommendation, we ordered mixed drinks, which were absolutely delightful. Overall, it was a fantastic evening—10/10. I look forward to visiting again in the future.

    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.

    The food here was amazing. Everything was served very quickly and in a beautiful presentation. Definitely recommend this place 10/10. Drinks were amazing their old fashion was one of a kind. All the food was very fresh. A little pricey but well worth it. To top it off they have a great view of the city. Perfect experience.
