MIA'S RESTAURANT - Epar.Od. Firon-Ias

Don’t be fooled by my photos — the food had a nice presentation; but, the flavors were… ugh. — It took literally _one hour_ from the time of our reservation to even get a basket of bread at our table. Service was incredibly slow and disorganized. — The nykteri we had for our aperitifs were sour and tasted oxidized. The “somm” said it was only in the beginning of oxidation and that it should be fine to drink. Seriously??? (Note: We actually visited the winery the next day and tasted the same wine and vintage. It was not at all what was served at Mia’s. The one from the winery was clearly beautiful to the nose and lovely to taste.) — Our server discouraged my spouse from ordering a steak medium rare, which was his preference, because, according to the server, Greek beef can be tough when not cooked a bit more. The server encouraged us to get temperature to medium. I ordered mine medium+ and it arrived very well done! The meat was actually tough as a result of being over-cooked. Gross. It may have been better as medium-rare. — The fish and couscous dish were over salted. — During this time in Santorini, evenings can be very cool for outdoor or rooftop dining, especially with the wind factor. While they offered us blankets to keep us warm, the service was incredibly slow that we could barely stand the cold even with the blankets. — On our way out, we asked for the cork for a bottle of wine we ordered for dinner. The “somm” said he couldn’t find it anymore and told us to simply walk out with an open bottle. Again — seriously??? The manager noticed this and then put a foil around the tip of the wine bottle. A foil!!! I can’t make this stuff up. The one pleasant experience in this whole fiasco-of-a-dinner was the hostess. She was pleasant. Santorini is one of our favorite travel destinations. Thank goodness for other restaurants with amazing dishes and outstanding service, even during Covid times. This place was a waste of time and experience.

The most wonderful experience from the moment you sit down - you will find it difficult to leave. The food is fresh and sourced from neighboring Greek islands, and the menu favors the traditional Greek cuisine while offering modern twists. The food was absolutely phenomenal and a burst of flavor in every bight. I am a relatively picky eater, and everything I ate was perfect as served. Also, the staff genuinely want to provide you with great service, and show their enthusiasm for working there. Their presentation livens the experience, as well as the amazing views!

Absolutely fabulous dinner at Mia’s in Santorini. We had the ceviche, octopus and eggplant tart starters followed by the catch of the day. One of the best meals I have ever eaten. Fabulous and charming staff. Great views and romantic.

We came across Mia’s completely by accident when looking for a drink one afternoon. Sotirios and his team immediately impressed us with their high levels of service and friendliness. We were so impressed, we decided to return for dinner last night and it did not disappoint. The service was faultless with better service than I have had in many Michelin restaurants in London. The team were friendly and made us feel incredibly welcome and special. The sommelier had fantastic enthusiasm. Despite us ordering a pretty inexpensive bottle of wine from the menu, he made us feel like we had ordered a Rothschild Lafite and took time to help us appreciate it. Finally the food was superb! It was upmarket but with good portions and fantastic attention to detail. I had octopus and lobster and it was superbly cooked and beautifully presented! All in all, I was blown away by Mias. Having only opened 3 months ago, it is still relatively new, however it is a must visit for anyone looking for good food in Santorini. Thanks for a great night guys!!!

The restaurant was nice and the staff were polite. However, I have ordered a one bread and they put two! The service charge should be included not asked me at the end if I want to! 10% percent of the total not asking. The food was delicious.

Excellent service from the waiters start to finish. Breakfast to lunch menu was slightly limited but it was superb and tasty food throughout. Prices were decent for the area. Would highly recommend. Oh and did I mention they had the best cappuccino that I've ever had - in the whole of Santorini.

The best service and food, I've ever experienced! After we tried that restaurant out in the evening, to look over the glowing city Oia and we already really enjoyed the drinks, we immediately decided to go there again the next day, this time for an actual lunch. And we weren't disappointed: Totally worth the price, the waiters were patient, kind and caring and the food was out of this world ? let alone the self baked bread we ate in the beginning had an aroma, which we will never forget. The waitingtime for our main dish was a bit long (a bit over an hour), but we got compensated with a free dish as an apology, which was also really tasteful.

Lovely restaurant. Kind staff (although the chef not used to conversing with customers). Starters were phenomenal- main was ok (not blown away). This restaurant is definitely worth a visit and ask for a table outside for the amazing views at sunset. The couple next to us ordered the bone marrow and to be honest, I wish I did (so please do if you go, it looked incredible!)
