We had great birthday dinner for a friend at MIDA. The food and drink and service were all excellent. I particularly liked the vegan pasta entree, my friends loved the mussels appetizer, the old fashioned and expresso martini cocktails. I requested a candle with dessert and this was done without prompting and was done well and my friend with the birthday was impressed. We will definitely return.
