Great spot for a group brunch!

by aspeltz

We had a brunch for 50 people for our daughter's first birthday. I was so pleased with Miracle! The staff was great, and Katherine did a fantastic job planning the event and ensuring we had everything we needed. The food was delicious, the service was prompt, and we weren't rushed at all. We had plenty of room for strollers and a spot for a play space for the kids. We were pleasantly surprised by the bill - it's a very reasonably priced joint, even including mimosas and bloody marys. We brought our own cakes and cupcakes (from Magnolia). I'd definitely recommend this place for group events!

Surprisingly good

by Bridget_Jones

I went here for dinner because I was working in the area and I just wanted to get out of the cold. At first I wasn't all that impressed with the interior. It looked like any generic upscale NYC eatery. The menu didn't seem all that new or unusual - but when they brought my food - I was IMPRESSED. Not your ordinary Tex-Mex. Very interesting combinations. Just when you thought you'd "tasted it all" .... I highly recommend this place. Oh, the wait staff was very friendly and helpful too. The waiter even advised me about the sangria specials they have on Thursday night. So I had $4 Sangrias (which were refreshing) instead of a $10 glass of red wine. Prices are very reasonable for NYC and this neighborhood.

• Pros: Prices, Cocktail Specials on Thursday, Very Nice Wait Staff
• Cons: None that I can think of.

Tasty Southwestern fare and excellent margaritas on Bleecker.

by Contributor

The Scene
A dusky, subdued spot on leafy Bleecker Street, Miracle is almost too tastefully understated. The well-stocked bar is appropriately against the back wall of the first room, and there's a separate room off to the side devoted to dining. The Southwestern tchotchkes--quaint but unmemorable--are placed at discreet intervals on the warmly-hued walls, and the tables are artfully positioned just far enough apart for comfort. Service is pleasant, though sometimes a trifle too unhurried.

The Food
Miracle makes no visible claims to rigid authenticity, and its adventures in fusion can be charming. Take the Asian-inflected, ginger-sparked julienned cabbage--unexceptional when it stuffs the spring rolls, it accompanies the catfish tacos appetizer to greater effect. More straightforward entrees--strip steak, enchiladas--often achieve an elegant, flavorful simplicity. But a few baroquely mischievous dishes succeed extravagantly--the fried chicken salad is a dieter's guilty Kentucky-fried pleasure and the sumptuous banana split transcends regionalism.

Truly a Miracle

by thebaby

Wonderfully Eclectic Southwestern without the Mundane Enchilada. Last week my friend and I walked around and around the Village looking for a nice restaurant, had appies at Monster Sushi and decided to return to Miracle Grill we passed along the way. We had a wonderful Server named Simone and the atmosphere although loud was very intimate. We had the feeling we were the only diners. Our food was delicious and cooked to perfection. We are returning tonight for a Birthday and can't wait to savor more selections. We liked the bar the last time, but did not partake. Would recommend if your single to stay for a drink.

• Pros: In the heart of the West Village

It really is a Miracle!

by bertandrew

This unassuming little place has now become my favorite eatery in New York City. Its fun, its cozy, it has energy--its busy yet you can talk---it is alive! The food is great. Yes it is GREAT! No matter what I have tried, its always delicious--and there's always plenty of it. The waitstaff is top notch without getting in the way of your evening. The drinks!! Try the Jackie O!! While there are hundreds of places to eat in the city, I keep going back here because I know I won't be disappointed. I know I'll have fun, I'll eat well and I'll get a great value.

• Pros: GREAT FOOD, GREAT DRINKS, GREAT VALUE

A delightful standard

by Martrese

My husband and I eat here often, sometimes once a week (always when our favorite hostess is working) and we keep coming back. We prefer the quieter back room and I ALWAYS get the catfish tacos - so delicious. It can get a bit noisy as the evening grow later, but sometimes that's part of the fun. We usually see large parties having a great time.

Was Better, Still Pretty Good

by egaliardo

Admittedly, I used to love this place. But since the menu has been revised, there are no longer free salsa and chips (now priced on the menu), and some of the items I used to enjoy have been re-done. It no longer feels like a special place. Cocktails are still very good, and the East Village location has nice outdoor seating in back. But still, there are plenty of other options...

• Pros: Good for groups, Good cocktails

great for pre-going out

by tory06

We went on a friday night proably around 10:30 and it was really fun! The drinks were excellent (especially the blood-orange margarita), and the food was too... had the chips and guac (which was a little lacking in flavor) and then the veggie quesadillas which were excellent. Other friends had fish and then a burger, which also looked good. The atmosphere is what i would describe as a little "granola-ish"... a little bit alterna and nature-esque, but nevertheless it was a fun meal. We were ridiculous and had them split the bill on seven(!) credit cards, and they were very accomodating! I would definitely recommend it!

• Pros: drinks, yummy food, nice waitress
