Job Description

Mira is a vibrant Mediterranean restaurant located in the heart of the Elmwood Village in Buffalo, NY. This establishment brings to life the rich and diverse flavors of the Mediterranean region, featuring the cuisines of countries such as Italy, Spain, Greece, and others surrounding the Mediterranean Sea. At Mira, the menu is thoughtfully curated to include house-made pastas, charcoal-grilled meats and vegetables, accompanied by a Mediterranean-focused beverage program that perfectly complements the dishes.
