    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.

    Such a fantastic experience like always at any of the RPM restaurants. This was our first time at RPM and it was outstanding! Our waitress, Anna, went above & beyond this evening. We were out celebrating my boyfriend’s promotion and she was very sweet is giving us complimentary champagne and cotton candy for dessert. She gave us great recommendations for our meals. The food was absolutely amazing and we will absolutely be back! I can’t recommend this place or any of the RPM restaurants enough.
