What MILA RESTAURANT MIAMI BEACH does

MILA Restaurant Miami Beach is a privately held luxury hospitality concept operating a single rooftop property in South Beach at 1636 Meridian Avenue, with adjunct venues on Lincoln Road and corporate oversight from Riviera Dining Group Inc. (Florida). Founded in 2019 by Gregory Galy and Marine Giron-Galy, the business consolidates four on-premise experiences under one roof: a flagship rooftop restaurant serving 'MediterrAsian' cuisine blending Mediterranean and Japanese traditions, a 10-seat omakase counter curated by 26-times Michelin-starred Executive Chef Michaël Michaelidis alongside Corporate Chef Joshua Walls, a late-night lounge with bottle service running to 4:00 AM Wednesday through Saturday, and the MM members-only club on the second floor below the restaurant.

The company generates revenue across six streams: a-la-carte and tasting-menu dining ($155 and $225 per person for chef's menus), tiered Sunday brunch packages ($95-$320 per person covering four beverage tiers), late-night bottle service in the lounge, recurring MM membership dues providing cross-venue priority access across Riviera Dining Group properties, private events including full restaurant buyouts managed via Tripleseat, and digital gift cards distributed through Toast Tab that never expire. Pricing tiers include premium experiential add-ons such as Petrossian caviar (30g at $185 up to 250g at $1,500) and multi-course tasting menus. Reservations are fulfilled through OpenTable, SevenRooms, phone, and walk-in channels.

MILA positions as an immersive, design-led lifestyle destination — the interior by designer Olya Volkova fuses Cycladic minimalism with Japanese Wabi-Sabi philosophy — and is publicly cited as the #1 highest-grossing independent restaurant in the U.S. (Miami Herald, Time Out Miami), with placement in Restaurant Business Top 100 Independents and inclusion in People Magazine's 50 Most Beautiful Restaurants in America. Distribution relies on earned media, Instagram (@milagroup_miami), seasonal collaborations (MILA x Nespresso, MILA Omakase x Barra Callao for Summer 2026), and a private events sales motion, with no proprietary technology platform and no disclosed external funding.
