I've been to Mia twice and they have never disappointed me! The tapas are great and are nice size portions. My favorites are the meatballs and the mussels. The food comes on quickly and they have good attentive wait staff. You should definitely check them out if you are in the Domain.
This was my first time here, but the staff is amazing, food is phenomenal, service is outstanding & they have the BEST tiramisu I've EVER HAD. I would 100% recommend to everyone. We did the chef's tasting course & there wasn't a single thing I'd change or make better...
Excellent food and substantial serving sizes for a tapas bar. Brussels sprouts starter was delicious, as was the Bolognese pasta. The local nitro on tap was great and they had a great local whiskey. Somewhat loud environment but great, upscale atmosphere without being pretentious. Next time I'm in Austin I'll definitely be back.
Oh my gosh! The carbonara is AMAZING!! The service as well! I sat at the bar and Drew recommended the carbonara (which I already mentioned was a good choice) and the pork belly. One of the best things I've had in the Domain for sure!...
Best tapas place I've found in town. Every dish I've tried has been delicious. I suggest going with a large group of people so you can try everything they have to offer!
