The Monthly Dish July 2026: Sip Lemonade, Relax and Get Red, White, and Weird
We're halfway through the year, so let out a cheer—and not just on America's 250th birthday.


<span style="font-weight: 400;">Re-opening after a long quarantine rejuvenation is Miami’s MILA. The restaurant’s aesthetic is on point from start to finish. Reclaimed wooden furniture, handmade linens, and a substantial water feature set a serene mood amidst the luxurious yet zen surroundings. It’s the perfect marriage of chic glamour and wabi-sabi, with South Beach skyline views. The spacious rooftop normally hosts up to 250 people and has been bustling with nightlife during its pre-COVID days. The expansive space will naturally follow safe social distancing measures while still providing Miami’s culturists with an engaging, lively vibe. </span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">MILA took the time to completely revamp their menu, changing 99% of the dishes to suit Miami’s globe-trotting locals, who, for the time being, are not on long-haul flights. While borders are still closed, MILA’s concept is to take diners on a journey from the Mediterranean’s sophisticated coasts to idyllic Japan and back.</span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">The scene is not just about the fare — it’s the overall ambiance, full of chill-out music, high-end deco, out-of-this-world cocktails, and yes, of course, the mesmerizing food. The menu will include select cuts of wagyu beef imported directly from Japan, foie gras and uni diver scallops, truffle </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">rossejat</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">, and a carefully crafted fusion of </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">MediterrAsian</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> maki, amongst other delicacies. The entire experience is one for the senses. At MILA, both dishes and cocktails are prepared directly in front of guests, providing them with a theatrical experience steps up from the typical Hibachi joint. We’ll leave the rest to the imagination. Miami influencers who aren’t at MILA on a Friday night with a signature Sun Salutation cocktail in hand, you may want to reconsider your choices. </span>

We're halfway through the year, so let out a cheer—and not just on America's 250th birthday.

Pastel-colored sunsets, a backdrop of glistening city lights, the swaying ocean, millionaire yacht parties, and dolphins gleefully playing in the water—when it comes to killer views, Miami Beach...

This Father’s Day, skip the guesswork and give Dad what he really wants: a great meal, a good drink and time with his favorite people.

This list is for all the New Yorkers who have made the move to Miami and chose to resettle in the tropical paradise, without sacrificing the allure of the big city vibes.
