Still up there rating-wise! What a fantastic takeout dinner. All we had to do was warm up certain selections from their "From Russia with Love" menus and we were on our way to an exceptional meal. (These special menus change weekly) We opted to try both the regular and vegetarian menu and we were glad we did. Both were priced at $65 per person and included an Amuse Bouche along with 4 courses. I will translate the Russian names from the menus (such as Golubtsi, Morkovcha, Coulibiac etc.) for what what they are in English. So that I don't keep repeating myself, I'll just tell you that 90% of what we had was Very Good to Outstanding. The Amuse Bouche was a tiny pancake with a dollop of sour cream. From the regular menu we had a salad that was a layered offering of smoked trout, egg, carrot, cheese and it was amazing. Then there was the delicious Cabbage Roll with tomato and parsley. This was followed by Salmon baked in pastry with dill and mustard. From the vegetarian menu we had a thinly sliced Carrot Salad with smoked paprika and mustard. This was followed by a Russian Dumpling filled with wild mushrooms and sour cream. The least favorite of all the dishes was the Braised Cabbage with New Potato and Dill but still good. Both the Lemon Cake with cinnamon & vanilla as well as the Sponge Cake with apple and cinnamon were also very good. Can't wait till we will actually be going into the restaurant again for dinner.

Just about every week, Mica publishes a special "From ____with love" focusing on a specific region's culinary specialties. Past week was Baltimore, and the meal was outstanding! Pit Beef (carpaccio style) with horseradish was melt in your mouth, Crab in a reduced old bay cream was delicious and lighter than you would expect, soft shell crab was perfectly grilled and the desert was a take on a black and white cookie. Keep up the great work!

Tried during Chestnut Hill restaurant week. The courses were served efficiently and the food was quite delicious . The highlight of the meal was probably the chocolate mousse.

Soooo delicious!!! Beet salad=best I've ever had! Gourmet, well thought out menu, and BYO! Will be coming in much more often!
Went for Valentine's (15th) Day. Was looking forward to the 7 course tasting menu for $75, but instead got the up-charged 4 course Valentine's Day menu for $90. Would have preferred regular menu. Overall food was well prepared and portioned. The tuna tartare had "jalepeno" listed with it on the menu but had 0 heat and missed the mark. Hanger steak and seafood (mussels) curry were both excellent. I was enamored with how amazing the service was. Perfectly paced meal and Jackie was fantastic in her approach to our table. We'll be back for sure.

This was the second time at Mica and I was unimpressed. The restaurant attempts to be creative with its offerings, but fails. This is one time when I was glad that the portions are on the small side. The space is tight.

Mica has usually been excellent, so I am sorry to write that our last meal there was anything but. We ordered the the weekly special - this time Ethiopian inspired. It was poor in all sorts of ways: the injera bread served with each course was good, but heavy and too much of it.The flavoring was not very Ethiopian, except slightly for the main course. There was too little variety - every course had a sprinkling of a farmer's type cheese (perhaps this is used in Ethiopia, but I have never had cheese in any Ethiopian restaurant); the collard greens in the first course were repeated in the second, and that was the only vegetable served; lentils were repeated in the 2nd and 3rd courses. In addition, the dried legumes in the second course were not cooked nearly enough. The highlight of the meal was the excellent dessert. Service was superb, as it always is, warm and attentive without being intrusive.

A warm welcome, excellent service, exquisitely and creatively executed prepared cuisine, and reasonable prices, all in an intimate setting that encouraged thoughtful conversation - - that was our evening at Mica. We look forward to returning soon.

What a wonderful experience! A foodies dream - the Seasonal 7 course dinner is worth every dime. There were so many items we wanted to try on the menu that this was the way to go for us. The chef accommodated our requests, the food was flavorful and the presentation top shelf all the way. Our wait staff was exceptionally helpful, pleasant and engaging. Small venue allows for relaxing personal dining. Enjoyable! BYO is a plus.
