Anonymous party of 2 had dinner at Miguel's and rated
the food excellent because, "Our food was very well prepared and
full of flavor. The portions served were very robust." and writes on
July 29, 2009, "I was very pleased with the Steak Diane that I
ordered. My wife was pleased as well with the chicken dish prepared
with a Dijon sauce. I love salads & Miguel's salad was bursting with
freshness that was uncommon. The strawberries Romanoff were good.
"I wish that I could remember the name of the waiter. I think it was
Brian. He and the others treated us with care and respect. We didn't
have to ask to have tea or water replenished. He was very patient to
go over the specials in detail more than once.
"The atmosphere is very pleasant with booths or tables for a quiet
dinner.
You won't just stumble on Miguel's by accident. It is in a specialty
shopping center, in the apex of the "L" layout.
"Also, I need to add that if you notice the price being low for a
party of 2 at a very nice restaurant, it was due to our taking
advantage of an Early Bird Special.
The menu was far from limited for this offering & the value was
unbelievable. If you had to drive for 30 minutes to get there, it
would be worth the trip."

Overall Experience: 1 Joseph Edwards says he rates the food excellent
because, "The food was cooked to order, the meal was hot,
presentation impressive, and everything was delicious." He writes on
May 31, 2003, "Myself and my wife dined at Miguel's because some of
our friends recommended it as one of those hidden places you only
discover by word of mouth. We were pleasantly surprised when we
found it and ate there. We were greeted by friendly hostess, and
promptly sat in a lovely booth. The ambiance at Miguel's is
wonderfully romantic with dimly lit lighting, and beautiful European
decorations. Our appetizers were delicious, myself having the
Escargot, and my wife the onion soup. Our waiter recommended a great
bottle of wine, after I browsed the extensive wine selection. Very
few restaurants these days still offer the impeccable continental
service Miguel's offers, from the waiters wearing tuxedos and your
every want and wish is swiftly and pleasantly carried out. Our
entrees were wonderful, I had the Mixed Grille, and my wife the Rack
of lamb, which was carved table side for her. There was obviously a
lot of time and emery put into the presentation, and everything was
prepared perfectly. I was surprised at the portions, usually the
more expensive restaurants are stingy but at Miguel's the portions
were very adequate. After dinner we had another tableside
preparation for dessert, Banana's Foster, which was by far the best
I have ever had. We were offered some after dinner drinks which made
the whole meal complete. I am the kind of person who doesn't mind
spending a little money for a quality meal. Miguel's definitely
delivered, and I hope others "discover" it also." Rodney Murillo and a party of 4 dined at Miguel's
3/11/03 ordering Dover Sole, Rack of lamb, Veal Piccata and rates
the food excellent because, "Every thing was hot, tasted great, and
the presentation was also impressive," and says, "Four of us decided
to go out to celebrate my brothers birthday. We finally decided to
go to Miguel's restaurant, because of our great prior experience.
Immediately when we enter the restaurant, even though there was a
wait, we were greeted with a smiling face and the hostess apologized
about the wait and offered us a glass of wine to ease the time.
Within five minutes our table was ready, Within 15 minutes we had
drinks on the table and had appetizers put in the kitchen. Although
we had to wait for the food a little longer than we wanted it was
worth it when it arrived. The server cut the Dover and rack table
side which you do not find this kind of service in Sarasota any
more. This was the second time I dined at Miguel's and every thing
was excellent." Robert Sheverbush writes on 1/3/2003, "I rate the
restaurant poor because the soup was too salty but most of all the
main course of fish and vegetables were all over done. When the
manager was called he argued and was very rude. This is the most
negative experience that I have ever had in dining out over many
years." |
