We sat on the patio which has been glassed in so that it adds additional seating to the restaurant. We were initially the only patrons on the patio area which meant it was delighfully quiet. I have always liked the food at Mi Dia but the noise level in the main restaurant was such that I could not hear from whomever was sitting across from me at my own table. I hope the additional seating will make the entire restaurant more available for people who like to converse as well as eat!

Food was presented beautifully but didn’t really stand out flavor wise. Drinks were very boring for the price. Service was great, would be good as a local meet up.
