Quick Bites is Biscayne Times' bite-sized roundup of Miami dining news worth knowing — from limited-run events and special menus to milestones, openings, and anything else that deserves a spot on your radar.
MILA Omakase x Matsu | April 7–8
MILA Omakase at 800 Lincoln Road continues its Chef Spring Series with guest Chef and Owner William Eick of Matsu, based in Oceanside, California. Matsu has earned widespread recognition for its immersive tasting menu and refined, ingredient-driven approach to modern Japanese cuisine — Eick has been named Best Chef in San Diego by Thrillist and collected back-to-back honors from San Diego Magazine for Best Japanese Restaurant and Best New Restaurant.
The collaboration tasting menu bridges coastal California refinement with MILA's signature MediterrAsian perspective. Ten seats per seating, two nightly seatings. Reservations via OpenTable. Extremely limited availability.
800 Lincoln Rd., Miami Beach. 786-706-0744.
