When I arrive I was immediatly greeted by the Hostess and what I later fount out to be the manager. When I was seated I attained a server right as I had sat down. I learned of the daily special and the "fresh catch". My husband and I both split all of our course due to the generous portions provided. I must say, the food was very very good. The food is a cuisine that cannot be ordered anhwhere in Tuscaloosa. We both had Milagro's house red. I believe it was Ramah. It was fairly cheap. I believe only $5. The service was spectacular. Very attentive but not to the point of disturbing. Later I was greet by the manager whom was sincerely interested in our comfort and enjoyment. He turned us on to sample of "one of his favourites" Artesa. We ended up getting a bottle even though is was terribly expensive. But you get what you pay for so therefore it was worth it. Long story short....Absolutely fabulous atmostphere, service, chef, management, bartender and everything you could possibly want out of an upperscale restaurant. A little expensive though but for the most part.....worth it. -----Sharron Grant

I have enjoyed Milagros many times and recommend it without hesitation.
The menu and nightly specials are consistently creative. Although there
is a southwestern undertone to many of the dishes, it is not gimmicky or
tiresome as can often be the case (Bobby Flay making tamales of everything).
Instead the dishes are informed by southwestern styles when appropriate, but
will go in any direction that fits the ingredients. The result is often a
surprising combination of foods that superficially don’t seem to fit together,
but in practice are quite complementary. Although I think the menu is currently
changing, some dishes I would recommend would include the tuna (quite rare), any
fish appetizer, and the duck. Other than one meal in which my tuna steak wasn’t
quite the highest grade (it was still enjoyable), all that I have tried there was
wonderful. There are only a couple things I might make minor complaints about. The
first is the location. I wish it was more centrally located, perhaps downtown, and
not in a strip mall. While the interior atmosphere makes one forget where you are
for a time, it is unfortunate to have the ugly parking lot sprawling outside the
front door. On a related note, the television detracts from the ambiance. The other
main issue would be to expand the wine list a bit with additions of more wines by
the glass and/or half-bottles. With this creative and unexpected food, off-the-beaten
path wines would be welcome.
Treat yourself and go to Milagros.

I have been to Milagros four or five times now and each time the service and food gets better. The Southwest flavor to great steak and seafood favorites are a work of art. I compliment the staff and management (although I have never met a manager there).

We went to Milagros for the first time this weekend and I was blown away. Not only is the food excellent but the service is fantastic and the atmosphere is one of a kind. A special bonus was the live jazz music from 7-10 on Saturday. A must try!

first of all, the sentiment behind this Poist/Evans venture is very touching and seemingly, by all accounts, a success. I noticed, however, that the cute and ever friendly bar tender has left. This disappointment is short lived since he seems to have been replaced by the familiar faces of the always helpful and courteous staff. The food is fresh with a unique presentation. Try the crab cakes!
If you are ever in the area and decide to see the latest Tuscaloosa has to offer in innovative dining, stop by Milagros. During the winter months they light the fireplace that's in the middle of the dining area. I suggest making reservations on the weekend. The beautiful hostess knows how to work the door like a pro! Also, once you are seated ask for Kovatch's section. He will rock your north of the river face off your head!!!
