Hello everyone!
Today I’m going to talk about the first work event I attended for JJ Entertainment/ Jodi Jackson’s Hollywood!
Miro restaurant is off of Wilshire and Figueroa street in Downtown LA. Last Thursday, June 1, they celebrated their one-year anniversary. Miro offers a variety of food that will satisfy every palate: Italian, tapas and other Mediterranean specialties.
I’ve never driven by this restaurant before but apparently a lot of people already knew about it, including my Uber driver!

From the outside you can get a small glimpse of what the decoration will look like. Once you enter the big large wooden door with the golden M it’s like stepping into a different dimension. The interior is very sleek with a minimalist aesthetic. From the beautiful marble counter top at the bar to the modern lightbulbs and chandeliers hanging from the ceiling. Then, there are the stunning floor-to-ceiling windows that flood the interior with natural light. Miro restaurant offers a unique dining experience that will surpass all your expectations.
The décor was truly spectacular and it was the main element that encapsulated my whole experience there.
A little bit after my arrival, I was introduced to Manager Kevin G. Willis, who showed me around told me some interesting facts about the Miro. As a matter of fact, the restaurant was named after the owner’s son!
If you think this was everything, you’re wrong. They have an underground lounge that offers a completely different vibe than the one I described above.
As you head downstairs through the stonewall stairway, it’s like you’re going down the rabbit hole that leads you to a bar lounge with a moody atmosphere. In addition to this, there’s also an adjacent room called “The Whiskey Room” that offers you an array of different vintage Whiskies from around the world. The Whiskey Room is decorated with cozy leather couches and banquette seats, alongside a brick wall that is perfect for an exceptional drinking experience after a nice meal upstairs. Perfect way to end the night with your party.

DJ Richie Rich created a wonderful playlist to dance to!
Going back upstairs, they offered different types of food including their handmade charcuterie bar. It was good but not exceptional, maybe because I grew up in Spain and I know how to properly judge cured meat.
Undoubtedly, the real star of the night was the handmade pasta and the cake. The Bolognese Pasta with pork meat was exquisite. The noodles were perfectly cooked and the fresh ground beef perfectly blended with the Gremolata and the Parmesan cheese. As a pasta lover who has had her fair share of different pastas throughout LA, this one was a winner for me. I’ll be back very soon simply for this dish.
Another highlight was to see Chef Gabriel kneading the dough with his hands, carefully forming the Tortellinis. It was simply stunning!
I’m not the biggest fan of cake, but this one was delicious in every bite. The fluffiness of the texture and the simplicity of the ingredients (whipped cream and fruits), made it tasty and light at the same time. Unfortunately, this cake was specifically made for the one-year anniversary party, so you won’t find it on the menu. Bummer!
In conclusion, if you’re looking for an intimate experience with your date or simply have a delightful time with friends, Miro is the place to go. All the elements and little details I’ve described are meant to immerse you in a memorable modern dining experience.
