What do Jared Leto, J Balvin, Megan Fox, Machine Gun Kelly and Tyson Beckford all have in common? Aside from their undeniable star power, they’re all fans of the recently debuted MILA Omakase & Members Club from Riviera Dining Group. Following up from the massive success of sister restaurant MILA, Riviera Dining Group welcomes its second-floor MM Club, MILA Lounge and MILA Omakase. Having debuted just in time for Miami’s anticipated Art Week, the hot spot was flooded with celebs and VIPs who wanted to get a first look at the decadent destination.

Helmed by omakase chef Reiji Yoshizawa and under the direction of Riviera Dining Group’s head of culinary chef Michaël Michaelidis, MILA Omakase is open every Wednesday through Sunday with two seatings per night in an awe-inspiring setting. Flanked by delicate cherry blossom trees and minimalist wooding, the culinary journey is inspired by the 72 Japanese microseasons, offering a tongue-tantalizing, 15-course omakase meal in an intimate setting with only 10 seats. Delight in rare cuts of fish, melt-in-your-mouth wagyu and sake and wine pairings as you delight in the decadent culinary journey.

Before or after, head to the newly opened MM Club—their new members-only club—providing its exclusive members with a cozy and seductive speakeasy setting. Sip on expertly crafted cocktails and dance the night away to DJ beats within a chic group of fellow members. You may even spot a celeb or two throughout the evening.
