RDG Overview:

Envisioned by Marine and Greg Galy through their travels, experiences, and thirst for discovery and adventures, the first MILA restaurant (part of RDG) opened in Miami Beach, FL, in January 2020. MILA is a restaurant, rooftop lounge, and mixology bar aiming to transport guests on a culinary journey of flavorful MediterrAsian cuisine. Balancing genuine hospitality, fine dining, and refined nightlife, MILA has quickly established itself as the go-to destination in the upscale Miami social scene.

We are first and foremost a group of individuals who strive for excellence and seek to illuminate the senses. We believe in the rhythms of life and we are driven by the experience of adventure. Our principles stand for giving our customers the most transporting experience, an organic design and a refined culinary journey. D R E A M I T

MILA has grown above and beyond our expectations in its first two years despite facing significant pandemic-related restrictions, and ranked #5 of The Restaurant Business Top 100 ranking.
Following the success of the original restaurant, RDG plans to expand to new concepts and locations, focusing initially on the Florida market. It has shown the quickest development rates and is anticipating some of the best economic growth worldwide.
