The Scene – This location is easily the best of the chain and looks deceptively small. Chic art deco and contemporary decor surround a copper column that splashes three stories up to the ceiling. Unlike most places, the bar is on the third floor, enticing guests to dig in before they drink. Lots of bright paint and natural lighting boost the mood, even before the excellent food crops up. – – The Food – Tortilla chips here are crisp, but not greasy.

Drinks are outrageously expensive
by Rebecca Coomer at Citysearch
Hello;
We met for a holiday lunch at the Mi Cocina in the Galleria, but I'm sure all locations are the same. I ordered a moderately priced lunch combo ($8.95) and I was shocked to see that the one cocktail (a regular Bloody Mary) cost more than the lunch--$10! Being on a strict budget, it spoiled the entire experience. $10 for a single-shot cocktail in a casual restaurant is outrageous. Although I don't regularly order alcohol with lunch, I won't be going back to any of the locations of Mi Cocina, even though one is a half mile from my house. It's the principal.
- Pros: extensive menu
- Cons: $10 cocktail

Si mangia bene

Questo ristorante ha una buona cucina, il clima è ottimo, ideale per una cenetta romantica. Un po' fuori mano, sono necessarie diverse ore di volo per arrivare, ma sicuramente ne vale la pena. Il personale è molto accogliente. Ciao
- Pros: molto semplice

Where to Sit:
If the first floor feels a bit crowded, venture upstairs to some of the second floor tables.
Know Before You Go:
The real bar is upstairs, but a smaller one on the first floor will tide patrons over with beer while they await their tables.

On a date? Impress with the flan--light, rich, and not overly eggy.
