    The food was really good. We did the family table tasting menu, and everything they brought out was delicious. I really liked the oysters. They brought out more dishes than was on the menu. Each of the main dishes had a pre-dish attached to it, including dessert. The service was great; our waitress was super helpful and friendly. The ambiance was very romantic, and the dining area was fairly quiet and calm, so you don't feel the need to shout and can enjoy a nice, relaxing meal with somebody. We enjoyed sitting near the fireplace. Overall, it was a great experience, and we would go there again. One last thing, the tasting menu was reasonably priced with the amount and quality of food you're getting.

    Mita Restaurant provided an exceptional vegan dining experience! My husband, a vegetarian food enthusiast, and I decided to visit this place for his birthday, and it turned out to be the perfect choice. The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented, with the desserts being an absolute highlight. They were creative and indulgent, making the meal truly memorable. We had an amazing time at Mita, and it’s now a go-to spot for anyone looking to enjoy delicious vegetarian or vegan cuisine. Highly recommend!

    My friend and I had a wonderful first time experience at The Park at 14th. We booked a two hour bottomless brunch on a Saturday morning and the food was spectacular! They also had so many different mimosas flavors, that were really delightful. We would definitely recommend. 10/10 experience for sure.

    The greenhouse is an elegant brunch and dinner spot with beautiful ambience and decor, as well as great service and presentation of food and drinks. It is a great spot for birthdays, brunch, and other events. I recently did my bridesmaid proposals here, and the staff was very accommodating and helpful in pulling together the small event. I would recommend for romantic date nights, birthdays, and future brunches.
