10/10 for the staff at Mida. We had a reservation and our table was running behind by a bit so the team went above and beyond to upgrade our experience. We were so impressed and grateful! As regulars, the food and ambiance is always exceptional. Highly recommend!

This was our first visit here and we were pleasantly surprised by everything this gem had to offer. Service by Kendall was genuine, sincere and always with a smile. Our dishes were exceptional and bursting with great flavors. The bruschetta was delicious and my chicken piccata was perfect. We will definitely be back!
