    Mikko is the absolute best! Food is fantastic and unique — but the service is really where this place shines. Everyone is incredibly welcoming and kind, it feels like having dinner at a friend’s house. Can’t recommend it highly enough.

    The meal was good, though there was some difficulty funding out what they could alter to be gluten-free. I ended up with the halibut which was tasty.
