Beetroot sushi
Pamela J.

Had another great experience at Mila. The two hour table rule is strictly enforced. Even though tables all around us were empty, the manager asked us to leave. Not complaining but pointing out the seriousness of the time limit. The menu and drink list was changed up since our last visit. Everything amazing this time. Loved the mushroom dumplings. The rest of our party were meat eaters and loved everything they ordered in addition to the shows.

They have the best cocktails

We had such a great experience at Mila! The atmosphere is beautiful, the music sets the perfect vibe, and the service was top-notch. Ben, our waiter, was amazing! so funny, attentive, and made the whole night even more enjoyable. I highly recommend the tuna rice, the steak tartare, and the spinach with peanut sauce. Every dish was packed with flavor. If you're looking for a great spot for date night or a fun night out with friends, Mila is definitely worth the visit!

I was really happy with everything I ordered here and I ordered everything. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a little loud if you're trying to have an intimate dinner so just plan accordingly to spread out the people whose voices carry in your party.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It was a little frustrating that they wouldn't sit out party until everyone was there and we spent about $4k on food and drinks and were asked to give up our table when we still had a table full of drinks and hadn't ordered dessert. They have so many vegetarian options and the staff was so helpful when it came to order. Every recommendation hit! My best advice: order the dumplings

Hamachi crudo

My first and last time at Mila. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The vibes were good, the food was mid at best, and the customer service was practically non-existent.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We came to Mila after attending a World Cup match at Hard Rock Stadium. Thanks to Miami's terrible event logistics, getting an Uber took over an hour, forcing us to push our reservation to the final 11:30 PM slot. Since we couldn't make it back to the hotel to change, we showed up in our soccer jerseys and jeans. The door lady was incredibly dismissive and rude. We explained the stadium nightmare, but she wouldn't budge on the dress code even as we watched a guy walk right out in jeans, tennis shoes, and a T-shirt. We asked for the manager (Galy/Gorman), who also refused to let us in but promised our table if we could go change and make it back by 12:30 AM. Since it was a Monday night and everything else was closed, we rushed back to the hotel, changed, and returned at 12:15 AM. When we got back, the door lady didn't even acknowledge our effort. Upstairs, the runaround continued. The host actively lied and claimed the kitchen was closed. She tried to stick us at the bar, claiming tables were gone, until we had her contact the manager who had promised us one. She then quickly changed her tune. Then, a second host tried to seat us inside (freezing cold), and finally dumped us at a tiny two-top outside. We order heavy, so my friend, who flew all the way from the Middle East for the World Cup, nicely asked for an empty booth nearby. The host caught a major attitude, complaining she was "just doing her job." We had to get the manager *again*, who finally wiped down the booth for us, though he never once thanked us or acknowledged the hoops we jumped through to come spend our money there. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Once we finally sat down, the atmosphere was actually great. Good music and a cool vibe, even though we were too late for the fire dancers.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] A huge shoutout to area manager Jose from Venezuela, he was the ONLY friendly person in the entire building, and the rest of the staff needs to take a hospitality lesson from him. Because we were starving, we ordered almost everything: Margarita verde, sweet corn, wild fungi dumplings, Wagyu gyoza, Hamachi crudo, truffle cream spaghetti, crispy Brussels sprouts, spicy tuna crispy rice, miso cod, wasabi mashed potatoes, and the king crab hot pot. Honestly? Most of it was totally mid and not worth the hype or the price tag. A lot of the dishes had no flavor or a weird aftertaste. The truffle spaghetti was especially disappointing--flavorless with literal clumps of cream. The only standouts were the Brussels sprouts, the hamachi, and the king crab hot pot. To top off the exhausting experience, our $800 bill (for two people) included a mandatory 20% service fee (about $200). When we asked our waitress, Savannah, she implied the fee goes to the "whole team" and essentially expected us to tip her an ADDITIONAL 20% on top. The lack of transparency regarding their billing is concerning. So Mila expects a 40% tip for lackluster food and horrible service that started before we even walked through the door? It feels like a deceptive practice that diners should be aware of. No thank you. Save your money and go somewhere that actually values its customers.

We had dinner reservations in the downstairs lounge for a bachelorette group, and every single one of us gave this place a 10/10. To be fair, service was pretty slow at first--we didn't even have menus for a while. The restaurant had a full buyout event earlier and seemed to be playing catch-up. Our waitress was very apologetic, but initially we were definitely frustrated with the wait. Once the food and drinks started coming out, though, everything changed. Every dish was absolutely delicious and felt elevated and luxurious. Our favorites were the spicy tuna crispy rice, lamb chops, and beetroot maki. This place absolutely lives up to the hype and is somewhere I'll definitely return to. [[HIGHLIGHT]]After dinner, the downstairs space transformed into a lounge/club atmosphere. It was packed, the energy was amazing, and it ended up being such a fun spot for dancing and drinks.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Highly recommend!

Brought a friend that flew in for the night. Honestly had such a bad time last time this was in the bottom of the list, but was the nicest place we could get a table at last min on a Monday at 11:15pm for dinner. The experience was so different I'm happy we came. The host was friendly with full conversation the the way too the table. Our server Ben was knowledgeable friendly and checked in often. The food was so good and came out quick. I probably wouldn't even come here again on a weekend. But would come back on a weekday, everyone was much nicer and had much more of a hospitality feel.

Opened in early 2020 right before the pandemic hit. The place weirdly enough just claimed the title of America's highest grossing independent restaurant (idk how I feel about that). We asked to sit downstairs where the DJ starts around 11PM. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The energy was great with incredibly comfortable and spacious seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] There was a 2 hour limit at the table, but we moved to the bar after our meal. Loved the caviar potato as an appetizer, and the beef tenderloin literally melted in my mouth. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The downstairs scene gets pretty loud just an FYI.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service was top notch. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Seems pretty trendy and mainstream, but definitely worth it.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

Shoe on left was denied entry.

I was originally turned away because of my shoes while arriving with a party of 10. I was told that my sparkly sandals did not meet the dress code, so I had to go next door and purchase a new pair of shoes before being allowed in. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Once inside the restaurant, I noticed several other guests wearing shoes that appeared much more casual, including sandals, sneakers, jeans, and T-shirts. I even saw one guest without shoes on who had visibly dirty feet, and there was also a child screaming nearby.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I'm confused about why I was singled out and held to a different standard because of my sparkly sandals when other guests were allowed in wearing much more casual attire. The experience left me feeling embarrassed and disappointed before I even sat down. The dress code does NOT mention shoe type for woman.

Wow! That's my one-word description of my experience at the MILA lounge. My friend and I made a reservation a couple weeks in advance and luckily were able to get a good time slot for the lounge on the second floor. The lounge design itself is marvelous with a dimly lit atmosphere and calm yet upbeat music making it an all-around chill area to enjoy some delicious cuisine. The walls and carpeting are well maintained and the couches are comfortable with clean pillows with unique tribal designs. The service of the staff was top notch. I truly felt cared for, and the server assistant did awesome at constantly watching our table for any small adjustment that could be done to make our meal more enjoyable. He removed dirty plates, replaced silverware, wiped the table regularly, and removed any debris as soon as it needed to be discarded. The food itself was that of a smaller portion size, but it was extremely flavorful and rich. The sauces are excellently paired, and the menu itself was very well curated by the chefs. Presentation was great and all the food arrived at the optimal temperature. The best was the Chilean Seabass. If I had to choose one dish it would be that to recommend. The cocktails were nicely presented as well and the bartenders really know their stuff. It was great for a special occasion and I look forward to returning again soon!

Disappointed with the food because the dishes arrived at the wrong temperature, the meal felt ordinary--nothing I would select again. I would not revisit this restaurant, since it does not meet expectations. Moreover, the dinner unfolds on a fixed timetable, with periodic updates about time left.

Kat C.

Loved Mila's inventive fusion and immersive atmosphere. Most of the food is absolutely delicious, and we often ordered seconds of the items we enjoyed most. The cocktails are tasty and complement the creative dishes well. We really appreciated the space's design and the live show, which happens sporadically throughout the night. The lighting, decor, and plants make it feel as if you're dining outdoors. The service is very friendly and fun. Our server, Mike, made our night especially entertaining. One small issue is that we felt a bit rushed given the amount of food we ordered. This food deserves to be enjoyed and savored. I cannot recall their time limit yet for the price point and to enjoy the food properly - a minimum of two hours is ideal for a party of four.

I went to MILA for some drinks and was pretty happy with the two cocktails I got. Overall, it wasn't hard to enter because I was going to hang by the bar downstairs. Since it was quite busy it took a while to get the bartenders attention and order my drinks. Luckily that gave me more than enough time to go through their cocktail menu to figure out which drinks I wanted. I forgot the names of the two drinks I got but they were both good! The second one I didn't like as much just because it had lager in the cocktail but that's more of a personal preference than the cocktail being unbalanced.

Tiffany D.

Beautiful restaurant but the entire experience was overwhelming and overstimulating for a night out for dinner. First, Walking up to club-like bouncers and front door staff almost bullying about reservation status and entry. Next, coming off the elevator to a sea of people, with no space to even check in for a reservation. The overcrowded bar area was a complete challenge to just put a drink order in. luckily we ended up behind nice people who helped us. When we finally got into the dining area, it was loud, so service had no space to be friendly. We ordered a table full of apps and drinks. Nothing was special about anything I had. The fire dancers were a nice touch, but overall didn't add much to the dining experience. I actually would return for an earlier reservation to see if the vibe is calmer.

What surprised me was the excellent service, from start to finish. I arrived early and had a drink at the bar, served by a gorgeous, knowledgeable and polite bartender. As it was early, I probably paid attention to the others at the bar more than I would normally, and it was a very colorful, diverse mix. Beautiful people dressed to the nines, a few couples and a few who were obviously tourists. Great start! The highlights included the dumplings, truffle fries and Snapper. I am a French fry purist, but these changed my mind! I would skip the tuna with caviar over rice appetizer. This one hurt as it was highly recommended by our server. The proportion is just wrong. The mushrooms as a main side were also rather pedestrian. I know we had multiple desserts, but I can't remember them. A big plus for me is that we were rooftop, but it is fully enclosed. Smart and perfect for Miami's unpredictable weather. Since it's clear, you won't miss a thing.

You'll definitely be grooving all night long, whether it's on the floor, at the bar, or even sitting down if you're fortunate enough to be able to grab a table. Seriously speaking, I have only ever seen the tables empty throughout the week. On weekends, this place is hopping! I cannot believe I just used hopping in a sentence; goodness I feel old. Anyway, if you're concerned about parking, the 17th Street Parking Garage is nearby. That or you can Uber. As far as getting to the Regent, be aware it's on a corner and you may miss it if you don't look close enough, but when you find it, YOU WILL BE HAPPY. The drinks here are expensive compared to other areas of Miami, but you're in Miami Beach, so I would say prices are average. $15ish for a drink if memory serves me correctly? Lots of variety, too - gin, vodka, whiskey, etc. Needless to say, I highly recommend the Regent Cocktail Club.
