Headington Companies is excited to announce the reopening of Mirador on December 8. This beloved 100-seat restaurant returns to the penthouse level of the designer boutique Forty Five Ten. By day, it’s a downtown destination for lunch, special celebrations, and a modern afternoon tea on Saturdays. In the evening, fully renovated spaces will accommodate larger private events.
While the interiors and brand have been transformed, Mirador’s elegant yet approachable menu of modern American cuisine returns, highlighting its clientele’s long list of favorites, including Parmesan Tomato Soup, Orecchiette, Chicken Paillard, Farro Bowl, the fan-favorite Chicken Bites and the famously celebratory dessert, Pavlova.
