    Great food in a relaxed atmosphere. So many restaurants are LOUD but Mita's noise level is moderate, we could easily carry on a conversation with each other and our server. The food comes out as it is prepared so we could take our time working thru the dishes. They were delicious, our server was helpful with suggestions. The drinks were wonderful, too.

    There is no wrong answer when you ask what to order. Everything we tried was fantastic. My personal favorites were the bread plate, the scallops, and the almond cake. Try it all though. Enjoy the experience.

    Mita's continues to be our go-to spot for big post-event dinners. The service is always fantastic, and the food is stellar. We are BIG fans.

    My wife and I were celebrating our anniversary and decided to try Mita’s. We were not disappointed. Grace walked us through the menu offering to be our tour guide for the evening. She recommended a few dishes and helped us determine the number of plates to order, she nailed it! The goat cheese stuffed peppers were amazing. All in all a wonderful experience. We will be back.

    We went to Mitas before going to the Aronoff. Great food and drinks. The serving sizes were just right for shareables. Service from Juan was excellent.
