Best Cozy Restaurants in MiMo / Upper East Side

I enjoyed my Christmas dinner at Makoto. I was running a little late but when I arrived they were willing to sit me immediately. I had a reservation but wanted to sit at the bar. Antonio is amazing with customer service. When he wasn’t around the other bartender Michelle was checking in on me. Even when I appeared to need help, a Manager (Cindy) stopped and ask me did I need anything make my experience better. Happy Holidays!! I will be back to see them. Food: Crab baked Handroll - 10 out of 10! I had two. Chicken gyozas or potstickers (not sure) 9 out of 10 (I thought they would be fried) Rock Shrimp - 9 out of 10 (a dipping sauce will make them perfect) Chicken Ramen - 7 out of 10 (it’s good but somethings missing in the flavor) I’m just working my way through the menu but I will definitely be back. Again and Again!

The hostess' treatment was rude, she was very impatient and spoke in a disrespectful tone, the treatment of the waiters was excellent, they gave us recommendations and the conversation with them was pleasant, but the service at the entrance leaves a lot to be desired

Let's just go ahead and title this as my favorite spot in Miami to go get a bite to eat. This time, I decided to come visit on my birthday with my wife! Hands down, I have to let you know how the bartender set us up just right with the perfect pre-birthday turn up Lemon Drops to start off the evening. The experience was nothing less of EXCEPTIONAL! The service, the attention to detail, the attentiveness to the customers, all 5 Star Ratings! Keep up the great work, Blue Collar! This is definitely one of the very few establishments that I frequently visit and always leave with positive results! 💯

What an amazing restaurant and experience. It’s been a while where you dine at a restaurant and they check ALL the boxes of a perfect dining experience. The food was outstanding. The service was fantastic. Sharique our server was very knowledgeable of the menu and made excellent recommendations for us. DOYA is a definite must-dine. You won’t regret any second of it. You feel so good and at home, that it makes it hard to ever eat at any other restaurant.

Great neighborhood restaurant. Lovely service. Delicious food.
