MiLa, located in the Central Business District, is popular with locals and tourists alike. The cuisine of Executive Chef Ben Sarrat, a native New Orleanian, reflects the "melting pot" that comprises the early days of our history.  Many thanks to our organizers: Branch President Chris Dorion and Branch Sommelier Michelle Dorion O'Connell.
