Mr. Mista is an L.A. inspired cocktail bar & Asian influenced kitchen that caters for people who love an elegant dining experience, but can still party.

The experience is designed to be enjoyed together and bring forward strong feelings of familiarity, like you’ve been here before.Was it that little village where no one spoke english, but you had the most amazing stir fry served on a leaf? Or was it when you went to L.A. and tried Banh Mi for the first time?Whatever it is for you, our food is going to make you feel some type of way. Textures that crunch, aromas to make your mouth water, flavours that make you vocal (argh) & aesthetics you’ll want to share to your story.Did someone say drinks? Our cocktail list will hit you with nostalgia that reminds you of that holiday, where you had a butler, a poolside cabana & an endless supply of fresh coconut

    Took the family here for my son’s 21st birthday. Food was amazing! Oysters, sashimi and the prawns were delicious. Great ambience and service. Two piece band playing some jazzy tunes at just the right volume to allow great conversation. Highly recommend!!

    Perfect way to celebrate a special occasion. We booked for lunch and enjoyed all the beautifully presented and tasty dishes. Loved being able to watch our Chef meticulously prepare the dishes and perfectly balance the flavors on each plate. The dining area is intimate (room for 10-12 diners) with Chef's explanation of the source of each dish. Recommend you choose wine pairing to compliment the food. A very enjoyable meal when you're not in a rush and want to experience great food & wine in a lovely private setting
