    Fantastic pre-show dinner! The roasted salmon on pesto mashed potatoes was the best I’ve ever had. Wonderful waiter who brought our food in a timely manner without making us feel rushed. Definitely recommend!

    We had an amazing meal and experience last night at Miru. The food was excellent from start to finish (especially the crispy rice, black cod, and octopus skewer) were standouts, but there was nothing that was not excellent. Even better was the service. We had to make the start of a show at the theatre and Andrew not only advised us on the menu, but paced the meal in a way where everything complemented the prior dish and allowed us to enjoy every course without feeling rushed. On top of that, he was friendly, knowledgeable and super attentive. Top notch service.

    Just want to say this place was just absolutely gorgeous. I took my mother-in-law to try someone new and it was just amazing. My mother-in-law had a London tea with egg and ham omelette with a side of potatoes and I have a melted marshmallow hot chocolate with chilaquile verdes with chicken
