We had a superb dining experience here. The restaurant menu lived up to its name: Modern, Inventive, and Approachable. We were two couples dining on a Friday evening and loved every dish we tried. We were a little hesitant as the only reservation we'd been able to get was for outside. The temps were going to be in the high eighties. I'm glad we still came. There was a slight breeze, plus the fans, and the covered tenting, made for a comfortable setting. And it was a tad quieter sitting outside. Our only minor quibble was that our server was busy entertaining and had a lot of tables. But although it was a long time between courses, we got to relax and enjoy our conversations. My husband and I shared a grilled Caesar. The baby lettuce had a nice smoky flavor. It was a good appetizer. After that he had the pb and fois gras -- which he adored. And I had the grilled artichokes. It was not what I expected -- I was thinking they would be whole. But the dish was good. We shared lamb meatballs next -- and they were very good. Our friends started with the burrata. The plate was gorgeous -- so colorful. And the burrata very creamy. For their main dishes, she had the lobster and shrimp flatbread and he had the grilled salmon rice bowl. They both enjoyed their choices. For dessert, we had the blueberry cobbler with vanilla ice cream. Served hot, it was slightly sweet without being cloying. We can't wait to bring friends here. We've already recommended the restaurant to folks several times. read more

I love this restaurant. The food is consistently excellent, the atmosphere is great, and the servers are always wonderful. That said, I'm taking off one star because of the way reservations are handled before opening. I typically make a 5:00 PM reservation and arrive a few minutes early (around 4:55 PM), only to find a large crowd of guests waiting outside. This has happened multiple times. In Florida's summer heat, it's uncomfortable and frankly unnecessary to have dozens of customers--many of them elderly--standing outside in 90+ degree weather while waiting for the doors to open. During my most recent visit, people were visibly frustrated, hot, and asking why they couldn't simply wait inside the air-conditioned lobby. The issue seems to be a combination of policy and execution. The host staff often appear surprised when guests are annoyed, but the frustration is entirely predictable. If someone has a reservation and arrives a few minutes early, they should be allowed to wait comfortably inside rather than standing outside in the heat. I genuinely enjoy this restaurant and want to keep coming back, but this is an easily fixable customer experience issue. A simple change to allow guests to wait indoors before seating would go a long way toward improving the overall experience. I hope you take this as a friendly reminder that we want to eat here, we just don't want to boil outside. read more

Such a delightful evening with friends at MIA Kitchen! The standard menu along with the evening's Chef's Offerings presented us with some great and intriguing choices. Or server TJ was helpful and attentive. My wife and I shared a Grilled Caesar which was great. I also very much enjoyed the PB Foie Gras, perfectly grilled Foie Gras on a slice of Crustini which soaked up the light peanut butter sauce and the fig jam. Wow! We also shared the lamb meatballs on a creamy bed of polenta. Everything about our dining experience this evening was Five Star! read more

Service has always been impeccable! We tried a few new dishes ... charred Cesar meh, crab bomb meh, fried rice flavorful but a bit too much sauce which overpowers the delicate rice. The coconut shrimp is still a favorite. read more

This was my first time at MIA Kitchen & Bar, and the experience was spectacular. Everything about the restaurant delivers an elevated dining experience. Everyone on staff was incredibly warm and welcoming, and many of them greeted me as if I were a longtime regular. The food and drinks were superb. I had the Smoky Old Fashioned, one drink is all you need because it's bold, powerful, and incredibly impactful. For food, we started with the fried rice, which had the perfect blend of spice and creamy texture from the fried egg resting over the rice. The Wagyu beef short rib tostadas were equally impressive, featuring a subtle barbecue sweetness that was an unexpected but delicious addition to the dish. We also tried one of the weekly specials, the Burrata Ravioli, and all I can say is that this dish was a work of art. Beautifully prepared with extravagant flavors, it featured pancetta, mushrooms, and truffle oil that complemented the dish perfectly. The atmosphere could get a little loud at times, but the overall experience exceeded my expectations. Definitely a great spot for a fun night out. . read more

Came back to MIA Kitchen on Saturday just for the specials, and it did not disappoint. I had to try both the steak special and the ravioli special -- absolutely worth it. The pictures really say it all. Manuela is my favorite bartender and made the experience even better. I mainly came for the food but made sure to squeeze in a few happy hour drinks. This spot has quickly become my favorite foodie destination. Chef Jay and his beautiful wife, Evon, even stopped by to say hello, which made the experience feel extra special. This was my second visit in just a couple of weeks, and I can't say enough good things about this place. read more

We stopped by MIA Kitchen and Bar last night for dinner. I loved the look and vibe of the place, very intimate and cozy, vaguely European. We sat outside and it couldn't have been a lovelier atmosphere. Service was very good throughout the night, our waitress did a fantastic job explaining all of the specials, promptly bringing out food and drinks and making sure that we had everything we needed. As for the food, my wife and I split four appetizers and a side; The Truffle Shuffle linguini, which came with grated fresh black winter truffles, chopped black truffles and white truffle oil. The burrata with a watermelon gazpacho, saffron aioli, pesto aioli and basil oil. The waygu steak carpaccio with fried capers, celery leaf, onion, scallion, sunny side egg, toasted bread crumbs and truffle aioli. The salmon tartare tacos which came in a crispy wonton shell with shallots, kimchi & wasabi aioli's and a soy glaze. Onion rings with a special sauce on the side. Overall the food was pretty good. The Waygu carpaccio in particular was my favorite, the meat was incredibly tender and beautifully sliced. The salmon tacos were good, I wish there was a little bit more to the portion size, but no complaints. I was not a fan of the burrata which seemed a little standard and the accompanying aiolis didn't do much for me. Finally, the Truffle Shuffle was disappointing. It had grated truffles, chopped truffles and truffle oil, so I was expecting an orgy of truffle flavor but it was pretty minimal to be honest. As for the onion rings they were super basic and didn't make much of an impression. I did like the side sauce though, it was kind of a smokey and peppery Chick-fil-A sauce or something. I have to say that I was a little surprised at the lack of seasoning and salt in all of our dishes, everything seemed a little bland in our opinion. It was definitely high quality food don't get me wrong, it's just that I was expecting much more of a flavor punch than what we got. Overall, our meal, 4 apps, a side and one cocktail came out to $200 incl. tip. I kind of felt like it was on the steep side, though we had a fantastic evening and the food was not bad at all. I would recommend MIA kitchen and I would undoubtedly go back again to check out their menu, in particular because I understand they rotate the items quite often. I'm very curious to see what other creations they can come up with. read more

What do you do when faced with the decision of which appetizers to order during happy hour at MIA? Have every one of them, of course! Everything on the happy hour "Eat" menu sounded so tempting, we tried all 7 items and enjoyed all of them. Note that the happy hour is exactly one hour long from 5 pm to 6 pm daily, which is a bit tight. The good news is that it's available throughout the entire restaurant. But before indulging in all the food, we ordered glasses of wine from the happy hour drink menu. Can't beat the $6 price! The drink menu also features a handful of interesting cocktails for $12 each. Now on to the food tasting: Wagyu short rib tostada - the beef was tasty and tender, but the tostada tortilla shell was overdone (dare I say "burnt"?) which caused this item to be one of our least favorites. Grilled Caesar salad - the grilled lettuce added an interesting dimension to the dish. It was a good salad with a nice dressing. When I asked if chicken could be added, the server said the only chicken option was fried. Surprising and disappointing. We passed on the chicken addition. Burrata cheese with ciabatta bread - The burrata was good, with a balsamic dressing. The ciabatta bread was a bit too thick and overwhelming for the cheese. Perhaps smaller, thinner crostini bread would have made a better pairing. Street corn with tortilla chips - Fantastic! This was a creamier recipe than I had expected. It worked especially well with the chips because the kernels of corn stuck together and stayed on the chip. Coconut shrimp tacos - Another delightful dish. The shrimp were fairly heavily fried though. Great taste with a spicy Thai chili sauce! Fried rice - I loved the preparation and the flavors of this dish. It had a fried egg on top which was perfectly prepared. And the rice had a delightfully spicy sauce. Wagyu "big mac" sliders - They were as good as the name sounds, with lettuce, cheese, onion and a special MIA sauce. Yum! Would we order everything again? Yes! (Although we'd request the tostada be more lightly toasted.) Would we order everything again all at the same meal? Probably not. It was simply too much food as the portions were good sized for appetizers. The server was very nice and accommodating. He checked on us frequently throughout our meal and quickly cleared the plates as we finished the various items. The restaurant has a warm, welcoming feel. We thoroughly enjoyed all aspects of our visit. Next time, maybe we'll indulge in a few of the entrees from the regular menu and the chef's specials menu in addition to the fabulous appetizers. read more

One of the best dining experiences I've had in a while. Located on the corner of a quaint plaza in Delray Beach, MIA Kitchen transports you to a bustling restaurant packed with small unique details in the decor and the menu. There's patio seating outside, high tops and bar area plus booth and picnic-table style seating in the main dining area. I made a reservation online for Saturday evening but there was only patio options. We decided to go early to see if we could walk in and wait for an inside table. Luckily at 6 pm on a Saturday, we only had to wait 10 mins to be seated. Our server Jim was very nice and went over the menu in depth including the specials. What really blew me away is their attention to detail. Our plates were swapped between every course. Jim always noticed when my water glass was low and when I needed new utensils. Chef Jason personally came by to introduce himself and explain the inspiration behind his amazing creations. With his background in French cuisine and his wife's cultural influence from Hong Kong, the menu at MIA had a blend of Asian flavors with French highlights. He intricately checks every dish that comes out of the kitchen and makes sure it is up to the high standard he expects. Everything was delicious! Coconut Shrimp tacos - thinly breaded shrimp with a tangy sweet sauce on a light flour tortilla Clams - fresh, nicely sized with shallots and parsley butter. The soft bread it came with was perfect for dipping. PB & J Foie Gras - creamy and delightful with a nutty sauce and a fruity jam pairing to cut thru the richness Wagyu Beef Carpaccio - my absolute favorite dish. The thinly sliced beef was fresh, topped with onions scallions and celery leaf it adds texture and helps with the richness of the truffles. The crispy truffles really make the dish. Pan seared Chilean Sea Bass with butternut squash, edamame, mushrooms with truffle kombu glace is a must try. The filet was cooked with crispy edges and a soft buttery center. The bed of veggies makes the dish light and everything complimented each other so well. Will definitely be back again and next time must leave room for dessert. read more

Yikes, cocktails are now $20 big increase over the last several years. Still one of my favorites but probably won't be coming back as often

Came here on a Friday night for a casual dinner and had a great experience! The service was excellent, and I really appreciated that they were so attentive to my pup.

This place is amazing! Food, staff, drinks, they have it all. I've been thinking it's been a while since I've been and I wanted to take my husband for a night out. He has good taste and I've been talking about MIA for sometime. Since we walked in without a reservation we started our night at the bar. We ordered some cocktails from the menu to start. We got snow day and hot girl winter. They were both really good but I gave the hot girl to my guy and took his snow day since he prefers more spice in his life and I wanted the candy cane on top of snow day. We got the burrata, octopus, ravioli and a side of onion rings. The burrata is a beauty to look at and the raviolis were my favorite! The octopus was very good having a nice char taste served over hummus with radishes. We got a bottle of the decoy red blend to share after our cocktails. We then went to a table to get the veal chop a la vodka style. The chef came out to touch the cheese on top and shave truffles on top. We paired it with a side of linguini and another bottle of red. Of course we had to finish the night off with dessert so we opted for the cereal killer. The brownie was overly sweet but the strawberry ice creamed toned it down a little. Also having the creme brûlée on the side was a nice switch back and forth. All in all we had an amazing night and my hubby agrees that MiA is an exceptional place. read more

Well--the good news about trying restaurants with similar names as one of them is bound to hit. We drove past this place several times and have it a whirl and it was home run. The place has daily specials and we tried the mushroom and tostadas and then the menu staple of chicken parm as well as clams with a black angel hair pasta. With the exception of the mushroom fried which was a little greasy for our taste -the food was terrific: fresh served hot and tasty. The service was terrific and the waiter offered some suggestions. Ambience was good and we heard this place gets packed and you need reservations a but we got in and didn't wait: we'll be back again. read more

We were fortunate to catch the tail end of happy hour. We enjoyed cocktails, grilled Caesar salad and the sliders before our entrees. The service was friendly and attentive. The Branzino which was covered with parsley, was delicious but looked lonely on the plate. It didn't come with any sides. The shrimp with curry was tasty and a bit spicy., It was an unusually cool night outside, but we chose to sit outside because it was chillier indoors. Fortunately, they had heaters in the outdoor dining area and turned them on for us. The outdoor dining area is charming and a pleasant place to sit. This place is always clean and the food is good quality. read more

Sat at the bar with my girlfriend and service was great! We had a bottle of barolo that was delicious, hummus was great and so was the burrata . Only thing is I think the yellow in the watermelon puree was mustard, it kind of threw me off.. I would order again without the mustard puree. We also had shrimp tacos, they are so good! Had an Asian kick to it. But The fruity pebble dessert was ridiculously amazing, its butter cake with fruity pebble ice cream, topped with the cereal and a creme brulee. Can't wait to go back and try more! read more

I really enjoyed this place. It's kinda small, so be prepared to be sitting close to someone. Unless you're going solo and wasn't to just sit at the bar, make sure you have a reservation. They had live music on the night that I went. The dish I had was something the waiter told me that is not on the menu, but something the chef decides to make every now and then. read more

went to Mia for the first time after friends recommended the place. We had the Burrata Ravilolo(appy special), Wagyu Sliders (happy hour special)and the Chilean Sea Bass(entree special). Our Server, Ted, made recommendations which turned out to be the very things we wanted. Desert was the Fried Rice Crispie Cheesecake. Everything was fresh, clean and delicious. Ted was attentive and knowledgeable on all the dishes and what customers' feedback was on all our dishes. We will be back and we recommend that everyone get to Mia! read more

Our favorite dish was the scallops but everything was delicious. We ended the night their scrumptious blueberry cobbler! read more

some of the people working there during the off season are very green and unprofessional. We went there at 5:30 (when the restaurant was not busy) and were seated next to a table close to two diners speaking loudly. Our waitress behaved as if she was putting on a performance instead of providing us with information when she told us about the daily specials. the owner(s) need to pay attention to these service issues and do better. read more

The ambience was not quiet, but not very noisy and the lighting was perfect. read more

You are welcomed immediately and the service is impeccable. While the menu is not extensive, most can find something that they would like. I am a plain, fussy eater, so I ended up with a salad.

However, check the menu to be sure everyone you're with will have options. read more

Well, color me furious. I don't usually write reviews--at my age, I've got better things to do, like crossword puzzles and yelling at squirrels--but after the tragic farce that was my evening at MIA Kitchen & Bar, I feel it's my civic duty to speak out. My name is Nancy, I'm 78 years old, and I've had more flavorful meals in hospital cafeterias during my gallbladder surgery. Let's start with the decor--oh, they try to be modern and trendy, with all their dim lighting and overpriced abstract nonsense hanging on the walls, but the whole place felt like a showroom for IKEA's Sad Beige Collection. I nearly tripped over a useless decorative plant on the way to the table. If I wanted to eat in a moody art gallery, I'd bring a sandwich to the museum and save myself the headache--and the bill. read more

I had never heard of this restaurant until my girlfriend suggested it tonight for dinner. It's located out on West Atlanta avenue, and what a little treasure it is! The restaurant offers outdoor and indoor seating. I was really enjoying the vibe and the energy inside. The decor was fun, and the atmosphere was hopping. The waiters were friendly and helpful, and they offered their regular menu as well as a special menu of chef's choices. We started with a cheese plate that came with cheese, bread, grapes, berry compote, and pistachio butter. Out of the five of us, four of us chose the seared scallop dinner. It was served over a beautiful truffle risotto made with lobster butter. It was absolutely delicious! The scallops were tender and seared perfectly, and the risotto was out of this world. I very rarely finish everything on my plate but I didn't let one drop go to waste! All of us that ordered this, felt the exact same way! Our other girlfriend got the chicken parmesan, and it was massive! What a serving size! She said it was very delicious, and ended up taking a lot home for tomorrow! I don't drink, but my girlfriend's enjoyed a lot of fun sounding cocktails, and they had a very nice wine list as well. One of the drinks I saw being made had a flaming sprig of rosemary in it. I love creativity in bartending! I would definitely come back here in a heartbeat. If you're looking for a really fun place to enjoy a meal with friends I highly suggest MIA! read more
