   We read good reviews and were intrigued--and Mita beat all of our expectations. The food was delicious and wonderfully served; it was a culinary adventure that was simply delightful. We ordered the entire a la carte menu and shared all the courses for a wonderful feast. Thank you Mita for a memorable evening! And don't miss the margaritas that tasted more like a mango cocktail, with black salt decorated glasses that must be licked.

   This place was definitely interesting but, as others have said, the food is just not that good - especially the later courses. Presentation and service are some of the best I have ever seen. If you are vegan and looking for an over the top vegan experience, this is your place!

   Great experience. Loved the 14 course experience. Would highly recommend it. It is a vegan experience but I can assure you that you won’t miss the meat.

   Review: Mita Missed the Mark When you advertise Michelin-star recognition and premium pricing, expectations naturally rise. Unfortunately, Mita fell short. From the moment we walked in, service felt chaotic and impersonal. We were greeted by at least four different servers, each repeating the same questions: “Still or sparkling?” “Whose birthday is it?” At one point, someone tried to refill a glass that was already full, insisting, “We like to keep the water topped up.” It was not a great start — more confusion than coordination. Small details matter, especially in fine dining. Our table was clearly damaged, and we noticed other signs of neglect in the decor. For a restaurant with a Michelin star, these details were disappointing. Service throughout the evening felt stiff and unrefined. It wasn’t about accents — we appreciate diversity — but about clarity. We struggled to understand dish descriptions and kept referring back to the menu just to follow along. That shouldn’t happen at this level. The meal opened with a piece of candy wrapped in rice paper, served on an agave leaf over herbal smoke. It felt more gimmick than gourmet — something you might find at an Asian market rather than the start of a Michelin-starred experience. The early courses leaned heavily on sweetness. A wild rice dish was overwhelmed by a cloying sauce and raisins. Once the mood began to dip, it never recovered. Dessert didn’t redeem things. A cherry bubble sauce tasted more like room fragrance, and the mochi wrapper had all the charm of cardboard. As we looked out through the restaurant’s many windows, we saw people walking by with boxes of Andy’s Pizza from next door. Honestly, we wished we’d done the same — and saved $500.

   Delicious plant-based dishes that played nicely with texture, temperature, and balance. Their wine pairings were thoughtful and enjoyable, the wines were often heightened by the dish they were served with. The staff was all incredibly kind and attentive.

    I chose Mita to celebrate my husband's birthday, and we weren't disappointed. We loved the food, the service, and I particularly like the music. We go to different restaurants every Saturday mostly in D.C. and Mita is one of the restaurants we are planning to come back. It could be a bit pricy, but the amount of food served and the exclusivity of their dishes are certainly worth it.
