    Perfect ending to a delicious meal ! Cappuccino + gifted vanilla gelato cones
    Joy B.

    Mika is 5 star dining , hands down! Definitely ask for the specials, although their regular menu is great . We had the tagliatelle (with shaved white truffles which happened to be in season) in a light butter sauce. This dish was literally mind blowing !!! I've had many versions at different restaurants, through the years and this one superseded the finest one we've ever experienced ( at cafe Milano in Washington DC back in the early 2000's!) Their bread service is fresh & delicious and complimentary ! It's accompanied by a ricotta / olive oil spread. We asked and were told one of chef Mike white ' s signature dish is the saffron gnocchiette , so we ordered that , as well. My husband raved about it , adding he would never have chosen that particular dish off of the menu. He was so happy we asked about the special s from an Italian server! He would've ordered the mushroom risotto, which now gives us another reason to return ! My white truffle pasta was so beyond that i couldn't bare the thought of tasting anything else ! I had it in my mind to have a side of wild mushrooms with the pasta , but we obviously boxed this up for later. Their gelato is the best I've had , as well , but didn't order it this evening because the taste of the white truffle pasta was perfection! ... next time ! I've dined at Mika several times with girlfriends for lunch, dinner with my husband in the dining room, and have also enjoyed pasta and wine at the bar. The ambience here is beautiful , modern and classy.

    Mika is a lovely restaurant located in Coral Gables. The atmosphere is absolutely beautiful. The decor inside the restaurant was clean and elegant. They also had convenient street parking and valet available. We went to lunch during the week. The restaurant was quite full and we made sure to have a reservation. They have a lunch menu that includes options for two or three course meals. We ordered the three course. I had the octopus appetizer, branzino entrée and the panna cotta dessert. Everything was absolutely delicious. Even the bread that is provided for the table was very toasty and had an olive oil and citrus flavor. To complement the bread, they had a ricotta spread that was just perfect. Highly recommend Mika.

    Mika is a beautiful restaurant! Located in the heart of coral gables it is dimly lit, has a beautiful bar, and spacious seating. Our waiter came quickly, but he was rude and stressed. I am able to overlook him because the food was delicious. The bread service was delicious with flaky, soft focaccia w/ herbs and a whipped butter/cream dip. So good. Then he had the caesar salad. the spicy breadcrumbs added a nice touch. The meat was juicy and tasty and cooked to perfection with a side of mushrooms. The black truffle pasta was amazing! Definitely get this! Incredible to pair with the meat. I had seen a picture of the mini ice cream cones, but it was not on the menu. I asked the waiter if we could order, he lied to my face to say they were out of stock. Then i look at the table of girls next to me and guess what they are eating... CONES! The water boy let the cat out of the bag-- that the manager only gives them to "special people". So i asked to speak to the manager, and then the cones showed up. Very unprofessional and this broke my trust. But at least I got the cones. But we also got the tiramisu and it was the top 5 ive ever had, delicious! Moral of the story-- still go for the food, but dont expect honesty from the waitstaff.

    Starting the year with a seriously memorable bite Dinner at Mika's did not disappoint. The service was impeccable and the ambiance is top notch. Silky wagyu crudo, a perfectly cooked Dover sole, and a menu that truly doesn't miss. One of those meals you keep thinking about long after the last bite. Foodies--add this to your list.

    Nice for a special occasion - THE PLACE: Located in Coral Gables, plenty of paid street parking is available, but can be tricky to find. The restaurant is beautiful and very aesthetic for simple pictures. Bar, tables & booths available. THE FOOD: We came to have my husbands birthday lunch, and found that the restaurant had a 2-course and 3-course menu. We went with the 2 course, which involves an app and the entree. For apps, we went with the grilled octopus 4/5, & little gem Caesar 5/5 - honestly this was the bets Caesar salad ive ever had, from taste to texture! Both apps were a good size and shareable between two people. For entrees, my husband had the chicken Caesar Milanese 5/5 incredible! Youve never had this dish, unless you've had it here! EXTREMELY fresh, crispy, moist - so good! I had the skirt steak 4/5 good portion, tender, and had a nice char taste at the top - the salad that came with it was ok, not bad, but not great- the leaves got soggy quickly too. I also had fries, and those were good, crispy outside, soft inside and salted well. THE SERVICE: Service was ok, good, but left more to be desired. Upon entering, the host (which I think was the owner or manager) was fantastic. Upon seating, the waiter came a few mins after - I didnt get his name, and he handed the the menus to us and left. There wasnt an introduction, a welcome or recommendations or any form - I hated that. It makes the guest feel unimportant. The team came, and brought us bread with riccotta spread 5/5. The waiter came back and got our drink order and didn't seem as rigid, but not very conversational - spoke to a minimum and had his personality switch off. When we placed our entrée order, I had to ask for recommendations and house favorites - instead of it being freely offered. Yes, these may be considered small things, but changes the experience of the guest and weather they would return or recommend a restaurant.

    Ever since I saw Mika pop up, I immediately added it to my list of must try spots and I'm so glad I did! We came here to celebrate my boyfriend's birthday, and it ended up being the perfect choice for the special occasion. The space is absolutely stunning. Modern, warm, and beautifully designed, with an ambiance that strikes the right balance between upscale and relaxed. We got some cocktails and my boyfriend ordered an old fashion to start, which we both enjoyed. We ordered the tuna tartare with caviar and Japanese milk bread, along with the grilled octopus that came with crispy potatoes and a chorizo vinaigrette. I honestly can't tell you which one was better! They wete both insanely good and every bite was flavorful, and beautifully presented. For the main course, we shared the 24 oz Ribeye and got a side of the truffle potato purée. The steak was cooked to perfection, super tender, juicy and not that fatty. The potatoes were velvety and rich and had the perfect hint of truffle to complement the steak. I had every intention of trying one of their pastas, but I was way too full , even skipped dessert, which is rare for me! Luckily, when we mentioned it was my boyfriend's birthday, they brought out a dessert on the house, which was such a thoughtful touch. I already can't wait to come back but next time, I'm definitely making room for the pasta!

    What a great experience at this place. The service was beyond amazing, the food was amazing and the cocktails keep you wanting more. Place is very nice and a perfect place to eat with family or for a nice date! Overall a great place to go enjoy some great Mediterranean food.

    My boyfriend and I had the most beautiful time here!! The waitress helped us with recommendations and was the sweetest, definitely will come back! The truffle pasta was amazing and delicious!!

    Mika was delicious! I came to Mika for lunch to try their set menu and it was incredibly good. Portions are just right and you will not leave hungry. As soon as we arrive for our reservation our table was ready as promised. The wine list is excellent... lots of wines, most over $125 but a great selection. Their set menu is about 45 for a 3 course experience which was just perfect. We had for appetizers the hamachi tiradito and the lobster burrata. Both were delicious. For our main course we had the branzino which comes with grilled asparagus and also the fresh pasta with crab meat and seafood. (I forgot the actual name) everything was cooked and seasoned perfectly. For dessert I recommend having the chocolate cake. It is creamy, luscious and indulging without being too sweet. Definitely recommend coming here.

    Ambiance and vibes are definitely there! It's a super aesthetic place; perfect for a date night or impressing a loved one. However, the food falls short. I came here with a coworker and we dined from the Miami Spice menu. The dishes sounded delicious, but once we tasted them, they were pretty underwhelming. For the price, the flavors just didn't match the value. Overall, it's a beautiful spot with great atmosphere, but the food didn't quite live up to the presentation.

    Beautiful spot in the heart of Coral Gables. I went in on Tuesday for my birthday lunch with a couple of friends and I def made the right decision! Service was impeccable and we were treated extra special since it was my bday so that was definitely a nice touch. They have 2-course and 3-course specials for lunch that are decently priced and all the food was high quality and delicious! Some of my favs were the wahoo and the mushroom risotto, but everything was spectacular. I cannot wait to go back for dinner or happy hour and try more things. Their lounge area is gorgeous so I am sure it would be nice to hang out there as well! I will definitely be back!

    Kafka and fries
    Caridad L.

    Mika is beautiful! Went for lunch. Nice that they offer a 2 or 3 pre fixe menu Ordered the hamachi for appetizer. Nice slice of hamachi with the most delicious toppings For main I went with the Kafka. Tender tasty and large portion. Delicious frites and tzatziki sauce Service was on point. Presentation was beautiful

    New fav in Miami. Not kidding this is some of the best food, service, drinks, atmosphere, and attention to detail that Miami was desperately missing. Absolutely exquisite preparation for both food and drinks here. They are definitely on their way to the Michelin list. Highly suggest coming here for ANY reason, but especially for a date, night out, or celebration.

The wait time was quick--under 5 minutes--on a saturday night and we were seated outside. We started with a fried seafood appetizer, which was enjoyable.

It immediately felt rushed and not very welcoming. We ordered a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc, which was good--slightly citrusy for my taste, but enjoyable. For food, I had the chicken Caesar salad and my husband ordered the seafood gluten-free pasta. My salad was disappointing--it had more croutons than chicken, which made it feel unbalanced and not worth the price. His pasta was even more underwhelming, with only three shrimp and a few clams. When we brought it up, the manager came over and explained that portions are measured by the restaurant, but offered to add more chicken and shrimp if we wanted. While I appreciate the offer, it felt like something that should have been corrected automatically, not something we had to ask for--especially considering these are full-priced entrées, not side dishes. Overall, the ambiance was nice, but the food and service didn't meet expectations. For the price point, I expected better portions and a more thoughtful response to feedback. Maybe pizza is a safer option here, but based on this experience, I wouldn't return.
