Restaurants near Alan B. Miller Hall

We met up with friends for dinner and this was a perfect way to catch up! There is something incredibly special about sharing a massive pan of paella and passing around plates of tapas—it naturally turns a dinner into an interactive, long-lasting memory.

Great historic colonial experience including music and background. Excellent food drinks and dessert !

We dined at Ember for my birthday and our server was Eddie. He had a welcoming energy and gave helpful recommendations. The entire experience was excellent. The dining room was dimly lit and had a romantic atmosphere. We started with the Tuna Crispy Rice and Surf and Turf roll. The tuna was a 10/10 and we will return for it. The Surf and Turf was an 8/10 but pales in comparison to the crispy rice. My husband ordered the GOCHUJANG BOLOGNESE which was okay but skippable 6/10. Not much in the way of flavor but great if you just want a plate of gnocchi. I ordered the EMBER MISO BLACK COD 9/10. The cod was cooked perfectly and I loved the balance of the acidity from the kimchi. Next time we’ll try the steak and scallops & risotto. For desert we ordered the Yuzu crème brulee and also received a free birthday slice of Oreo cheesecake. The crème brulee was a 10/10. The yuzu topping gave it a nice acidic crunch to balance the vanilla custard. The portion size was huge so definitely enough to share. The Oreo cheesecake was skippable unless you’re an Oreo or huge chocolate fan. The food came out quickly and was hot when served. We were there for almost exactly an hour starting at an 8:45 pm reservation. It also wasn’t too busy for a Thursday night but the dining room was mostly full when we arrived. We will definitely return.

We had the PEI mussels, the baked brie with the peach chutney and the appetizer assortment with the oysters Rockefeller, calamari and crab puffs. Everything was amazing! Great service and atmosphere. Would love to go back!

From the moment we checked in at the front desk, we were very well treated including a quiet table and placed with our preferred server. We have been to La Yaca many times over the past 15 years and will continue to return. First rate restaurant.
