We felt very welcomed. Not “stuffy”. Waitress was awesome. Not too noisy. With all the very noisy restaurants we’ve been to lately, this was a pleasure. Food was delicious! We will be back!

I scheduled a reservation for 8pm and ended up coming in a little early. I was seated without any wait despite my arrival being early. The food was excellent. Everything tasted fresh, as well as delicious. My only complaint that I do have is that the margaritas that my table ordered were a little too strong for our liking. Aside from that, I definitely will be returning to Mito in the future.
