Mileta

“Went to Mileta recently and it ended up being one of those meals where every course just kept getting better. The atmosphere immediately stands out. The music, lighting, and overall feel of the space really elevate the experience without feeling forced. We started with the crispy potatoes which was a perfect way to open the meal. Super crisp on the outside, soft inside, and just the right balance of salty and rich. For the main, I went with the dry-aged steak served with a beef bacon potato hash. The steak was deeply savory with a light smokiness, and the potatoes added a nice texture that tied the whole plate together. Easily the better steak I’ve ever had. My wife ordered the Radiatori pasta finished with truffle and Parmigiano Reggiano, and honestly it might have been the sleeper hit of the night. Deep, rich flavors with that unmistakable truffle aroma, and it paired perfectly alongside the steak if you’re sharing. We finished with the parmesan ice cream sundae, which sounds unusual but absolutely works. Sweet, savory, and slightly herbal with balsamic caramel and thyme sprinkles. It’s one of those desserts that surprises you in the best way. Service did feel a bit lacking in certain areas such as attentiveness and being personable, which is something you look for when spending a certain amount of money at a place. With that being said, overall, Mileta feels thoughtful in every detail, from the food to the atmosphere and is definitely worth the visit! I’m originally from Miami, Florida, a city many consider to have one of the best food scenes in the country, and I can honestly say Mileta would fit right in among some of the best restaurants there.”

“This is the restaurant Lexington deserves, and I’m so glad the wait is finally over. The food, cocktails, décor, atmosphere, and music are all exquisite. The whole place has this sexy vibe that makes you want to savor the moment. Every dish is decadent and exciting, and you definitely don’t want to skip dessert. Promise.”

“My fiancé took me and my friend here to celebrate our engagement the day of. The service was absolutely impeccable. Our server, Candace was top tier. She was respectful, attentive, and very informative about their foods and the culture of the city. We are from Michigan and this has set the bar for overall service and food in the states. The food is from local farmers, Candace told us where each meat was raised. Just overall an amazing experience. I highly suggest trying their fries and the aged beef was absolutely incredible. And to finish it off they have an incredible ice cream desert, that is to die for. It may have been the emotions from the day but it genuinely brought tears to my eyes. Thank you all for making such a memorable experience for us to celebrate the next chapter of our life.”

“Returned for a bday dinner with 5 other friends. Our server was Candice and she was amazing from intro to our departure! I gave my friends my feedback from my first experience. Everyone was optimistic and open to trying new things. The ambiance, music, service & cocktails were consistent high points. Candice really exceeded my expectations based on my last visit. Super attentive & knowledgeable! Based on her menu rundown, we selected a variety of choices & shared to get a full experience. Everyone was very pleased. A few adjustments on certain menu options would have made this night perfect (pork belly dish had too many fat pieces, but sides were seasoned & delicious, and more of a meat presence in some pasta dishes). The shining star was our server tonight. She answered ALL of our questions, took our photos in the Rose Room (which she encouraged us to visit), & just overall made us feel welcomed and special. Everyone commented that they would return. We all loved feeling like we were transported to another city by coming here. The notice of menu changes makes future visits very appealing! Kudos!”

“Beautiful atmosphere. Kudos to the interior designer - it's very pretty inside. The hostess and server were friendly. Service was good. We ordered and appetizer of whipped goat cheese and beets, which we really enjoyed. Unfortunately the mafaldine dish and mortadella sandwich were both, just ok. The fries were delish! Very nice wine and cocktail list. We don't drink though and would have liked to see a section for fun mocktails. $75 on a lunch without fancy drinks was a little steep for the quality of food.”
