    Took my son here for a special dinner. He said it was the best meal he’s ever had. Thick cut bacon app was amazing. Steak done to perfection and the coffee crème brûlée was the perfect end to the meal. Service was A+ as usual.

    Miru went above and beyond to make our evening perfect. The reservation timing was flawless, our booth was cozy and inviting, and our server was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, guiding us through the menu to accommodate my guest’s seashell allergy and not over order. The wagyu and nigiri were top quality and tasteful. Every bite was a delight. It was such a special night. Thank you, Miru!

    Excellent food and service! The best entree of the table was the chili honey salmon. Even the sides were good (smoked carrots, broccolini, mashed potatoes). Bread appetizer was so good we ordered a second one. A lot of dishes had spicy flavors or a spicy kick to it. I was a little underwhelmed with the prime rib sandwich. For dessert we tried the wild berry sorbet and tres leches cake. The cake was tasty but not quite dense enough for all the liquid and the sorbet was delicious and refreshing, generously garnished. All in all we had an excellent experience.
