We had been waiting for it to open and several times we were on that block and could see the renovations going on. Then one day in early November we were walking over to Coles from where we parked on Bird Ave and saw that Mira was open. People were sitting at tables and at the bar. It was early in the evening and there looked to be plenty of room. We went in and asked for a table. The person at the staff entrance desk asked if we had reservations and it turned out that the entire restaurant was booked because it was the Grand Opening Night. So we went out and across the street to Coles.
The next day or so I went online to make a reservation but it was booked up for the next two months. I tried several times in November and December to book a table but it was always filled many weeks ahead. Almost two months. A few times we have been to Coles or in the neighborhood and saw that the restaurant parking lot was full and there were crowds on both floors.
I figured the best way to get a reservation was to book a table for 4 on a Thursday some time in the future and then ask someone to join us as the time got closer. Today I went online and made a reservation. The closes time I could get for an evening was in mid-March. I made a 5:30 pm reservation for Thursday on March 19th. I also tried to make a second reservation for April but the system apparently only lets you make reservations within a two month period so April and beyond was not available yet. At sometime over the next few weeks I'll make another reservation for a table for 4 in April.
At some time in early March we'll ask another couple to join us for dinner at Mira.
