MILA Miami

Mila sits atop the roof of 1636 Meridian Avenue in Miami Beach. It is a fifteen-minute walk from the shops of Lincoln Road Mall.

The room runs smart and elegant, but the real draw is the Mediterranean and Japanese fusion menu. While the neighborhood is crowded with loud, neon-lit dining rooms, Mila offers a reprieve from the street-level noise. It is better to choose this space for the height and the shift in tempo than for the menu alone, which follows the standard fusion playbook found elsewhere in the city. You sacrifice the local immersion of the sidewalk for the remove of the rooftop, making this a strategic choice for those who find the South Beach bustle grating rather than energizing.
