MiLa Restaurant Review: The abbreviations for Mississippi and Louisiana create the restaurant’s name, because chef-owners Slade Rushing and Allison Vines-Rushing hail from those states. After succeeding in New York culinary circles, this young married couple returned south to open this showcase. Among the signature dishes are the oysters Rockefeller "deconstructed," with delicately poached oysters set atop sautéed spinach, capped with crisp chips of salty bacon and surrounded by a buttery foam. Such main dishes as pan-seared scallops with bok choy and baby carrots, or the zucchini-wrapped Alaskan halibut show off the chefs’ delicate touch with seafood, and the kitchen usually has more than a few specials each night. If the venison tenderloin is offered, snap it up. For dessert, you can go as basic as a root beer float, or as exotic as a muscadine wine gelée with ripe tropical fruits and a touch of sweet cream. The wine list leads with a good selection of Champagnes and sparkling wines, and offers numerous out-of-the-ordinary selections. Many of the Chardonnay and Pinot Noir choices are Burgundian, but the list selects from around the world. MiLa’s setting in the Renaissance Pere Marquette Hotel exudes a contemporary, hip vibe without being distracting, and service is in step with the expectations of the high-end pricing. |
