MILA Miami

Mila sits on the top floor of 1636 Meridian Avenue, above the corridors of Miami Beach. The venue is an open-air rooftop, a fifteen-minute walk from the foot traffic of Lincoln Road Mall.

The room runs smart and elegant, serving a fusion of Japanese and Mediterranean plates that separates it from the focused eateries nearby. While the neighborhood is crowded with quick-service stools, Mila is sprawling. It sits on a vertical layer of the city that feels detached from the pavement, making it a better choice for a lingering evening than the high-turnover bistros at ground level. It succeeds precisely because it ignores the frantic tempo of the streets below.
