So much attention to detail and all the flavors. We received their Restaurant Week menu and was blown away.
I wish someone could make me food like this everyday.

Mita is a really wonderful small course vegan restaurant. The courses were varied and interesting and all excellent. I'm having a hard time picking my favorite but the various breads and dipping sauces were amazing. A really fun place to go for special occasions.
