    Great vegan food. Amazing service. We tried the restaurant course menu, which was four courses, and we added an additional gnocchi portion, which was as amazing, if not better than the rest of the courses. Great place. Would highly recommend.

    I visited MITA for Winter Restaurant Week, and while the atmosphere is lovely, the experience was a bit of a mixed bag. Because it was a set prix-fixe that wasn't posted publicly beforehand, it felt like a bit of a gamble, and unfortunately, it didn't pay off for my group. There was very little room for accommodating dietary preferences, which was surprising for a vegetable-forward concept. It would have helped if they had made the menu public so we knew what to expect before sitting down. The Malanga Gnocchi was a letdown. As a main course, it felt uninspired and lacked the "wow" factor I expected from a place with this reputation. Overall, I felt the dishes could have been much more inventive. For a Michelin-level spot, the flavors felt a bit safe and didn't showcase the full potential of plant-based Latin cuisine. The service remains attentive and the space is beautiful, but for the price point, I wanted more.

    Chase was doing a promotion with the Infatuation for chase card holders and they were giving a $75 credit. This restaurant was one of the list. I have never tried vegetarian and let alone this being a michellin star , I was so intrigued. My boyfriend and I did the Heritage' tasting menu - it was such a nice experience! I love learning about culture and flavor through food so our waiter /host shared a story each time they brought our food over. you can just tell that the chef puts so much thought and creativity into each food, and the flavors were so tasty!! if you have friends who enjoy meat and have never tried vegetarian, I really recommend this tasting experience.

    Mita!!!! Wow!!! Well done We will savor those exquisitely delicious layered flavors, stunning presentations, delightful warm, personal service & outstanding ambiance & experience long after the last bite! Thank you so much for showing us just how incredibly tasty & flavorful plant based menus can be to enjoy fully. This was our first visit, but we can assure you we will be back soon & will let all our friends know to come & experience Mita for themselves. One of the best meals ever, truly!!

    For an extra $21, these should be double the size (each one is the size of a large coin).

    Honestly, the food is delicious. But there's just so little of it. We went for restaurant week so maybe that's the issue... the flavors are complex and the presentation is lovely. But we left so hungry. We saw two other couples who'd dined when we did our for pizza or tacos afterward. The eggplant served with the soba noodle dish was so insanely difficult to cut so that's where things went downhill with the food. The vibe is classy and the space is lovely but it was freezing. It was distractingly cold and they couldn't do anything about it as they said they don't control the AC settings. The service was robotic - no one seemed passionate about the food and when we asked about parts of the dishes being presented their answers were scripted and didn't seem authentic. Not sure I'd go back with other options out there for fancy vegan.

    I had a wonderful experience here! Just a note it is pretty pricey and will come out to about $270 if you do the full tasting menu as one person and a couple of drinks. However, the ambience is just so beautiful inside and the staff is really kind and pretty prompt and I loved my experience sitting at the chef's counter, which takes almost 3 hours for the full experience so many of the dishes were completely delicious, but my favorite by far had to be the gnocchi! Even though the menu is completely vegetarian, it is all great and every dish was very inventive and beautiful!

    I debated on putting up photos or not because I didn't want to ruin the experience but I chose to because I am still in awe that everything was plant based and amazing! The story behind each "act" (love that they called each course that). We did the 6 course experience and we enjoyed it! We added the arepas at the beginning and we also got a beautiful delicious coconut sherbet! It was a great experience and the space was super casual at a corner spot, but the inside and service were clearly met the Michelin expectation! We will definitely be back.

    Definitely one of the all time great high end vegetarian food experiences. Every dish was inventive and incredibly delicious. The cocktails and mocktails were high quality, service was impeccable and the place is wonderfully decorated and in a great location for before and/or after. If you're vegetarian this is a must visit. Simple as. Phenomenal experience all around.

    We went to Mita to celebrate my birthday , and it was our first visit. We had the 6-course prix fixe menu, and the all-vegetarian selection was impressive! Some flavors were so unique they even reminded me of meat flavors, which was really surprising and well-executed. A special shoutout to my father-in-law, who is usually a picky eater and not one to try new things--but he actually gave multiple dishes a shot and even liked some! That alone says a lot about how well-crafted the dishes were. On the downside, the restaurant was very loud, and I could barely hear the servers explaining each dish. My family had the same issue, which was disappointing since I love learning about what I'm eating. It would be great if they could find a way to make it a bit easier to hear. Unfortunately, none of us enjoyed the dessert--the flavors just didn't work for us. On a sweeter note, I received a birthday card, and they brought out a cute music box that played Happy Birthday, which was a really thoughtful touch. Overall, Mita offers an impressive vegetarian experience, but the noise level and dessert missed the mark for us.

    Great Food, great service! Really expensive. I enjoyed a wonderful dinner. The food was so good perfectly paired with the wine tasting menu.

    Mita offered a great dining experience with really creative dishes providing a range of Latin flavors. The dishes truly were art - while I am not one to take photos, there were a few that I could not resist taking a photo of. The tasting menu was moderately priced at 6 courses for $95 and while dishes were smaller portions, it's the right amount of food. Service was great - we appreciated the regular cadence of dishes, stories and descriptions, and warm welcome.

    Fantastic experience here! From the moment we came in, the host took our coats and hung them on a coat rack. We were seated on the right side of the restaurant on a Friday night, and by some stroke of luck, nobody sat around us so it was like having our own private area. We loved every dish that came out and the stories behind it. Great care was made with each presentation. Afterwards, the chef came out and shook our hands and took a photo with us. The only thing I didn't like was my drink - the Jamaica mocktail tasted like stale juice.

    Reservations were easy to make at this location and we were greeted promptly and politely at the entrance. Once seated we got the full "fine dining" experience. Six courses with four glasses of wine. Suffice to say, we left full and a little tipsy. Each course delivers a unique flavor journey, from literal volcanic mango candy all the way to dessert. Each meal came with a story, individual plates and cutlery, and the history of the chef. This was an excellent experience and well worth the money spent.

    How filling/worthwhile is the 4 course menu ($75)?

    Is there an outdoor dining option?

    As far as I know, there isn't and probably won't be. The sidewalks near there are pretty narrow.

Look, I enjoy my animal proteins quite a lot thankyouverymuch, but I have earnestly been transitioning to a more plant-forward diet due to a number reasons (hey, probably the same as yours!). Mosty I admire how the best plant-based chefs can make their recipes flavorful and filling...because it's literally more difficult from a scientific point of view (glutamates, etc.)! Over the course of two lunches and dinner offered by Simply Vegan, I can say that Nikevia really topped the charts in terms of wonderful vegan chefs. The multi-course menus were hearty, fresh, FLAVORFUL and delicious without feeling heavy at all. She had a wonderful touch with flavored waters (yes, she even flavors them better than anyone I've known!) and personal service. I very much hope that I find the occasion to have her cater an event that I organize! Or, at the very least, that others will take this review as a serious endorsement of her cooking chops. Please consider this wonderful chef and her company for your next event. Thank you, Nikevia!!

    Updated Review (previously 5 stars) due to poor management response:…read more Management has changed since my last visit, and boy, this place is not what it used to be, and that makes me sad. About four years ago, I happily gave this restaurant 5 stars and recommended it to others. Unfortunately, my most recent experience was the complete opposite. During my meal, I discovered ANTS actively crawling around my food. (See video) It was disturbing to watch them around the sauce next to my meal, and I immediately stopped eating because I no longer felt comfortable consuming the rest of it. What disappointed me even more was how management handled the situation afterward. It was extremely difficult to get in touch with the manager despite multiple attempts. When I finally spoke with him, he refused to provide a refund because more than 30 days had passed since my visit. Given the nature of the complaint and the difficulty I had reaching management, I found that response completely unreasonable. I also raised concerns about being asked questions during my visit that made me feel racially stereotyped. Those concerns were never acknowledged or addressed by management, which only added to my disappointment. Because I believed this was a legitimate food safety issue, I filed a complaint with the Fairfax County Health Department. After investigating, the inspector informed me that they visited the restaurant, discussed my concerns with the manager, and that the manager confirmed my reported ant sightings. The Health Department also required additional pest control measures. Beyond the service issues, I also noticed a significant decline in the food. The wonton soup was bland and lacked the rich flavor I remembered, and the General Tso's Surprise tasted off and was missing the depth and spice that used to make it one of my favorite dishes. This restaurant used to be one of my favorite vegetarian spots, which is why writing this review is so disappointing. Based on my recent experience, the difficulty in getting in touch with management, and their total lack of customer service or care for loyal customers, I can't recommend dining here. They do not care about their customers based on how I was treated.

I asked our server if I could have tofu in the sushi roll instead of the fake shrimp and he just simply said no. No explanation. Later I asked if I could have gluten free noodles in the lo mein and he also just said "no". My dad asked if they could lower the lights a bit and also - no. Zero accommodation. The food was not good, simply put. Waiter didn't bring out any birthday candle for me either. I was excited to try this place out and unfortunately it was not for me. I would look past the heat and the lack of accommodations if the food actually tasted good. Sorry :/
