What People Are Saying About Miranda Restaurant

This Williamsburg restaurant's big windows and corner location make for prime hipster-gawking, but the inside is pleasantly grown-up. Brick archways and a stone floor crisscrossed with wood lure an earthy, low-key crowd, while rainbow-hued iron lanterns add some festive color. Waiters are unfailingly friendly, even if they bear the overeagerness of a neighborhood spot hungry for a regular crowd. Miranda's menu dances back and forth between Italian and Mexican cuisine like a flirty guest at a U.N. ball, but luckily avoids overdoing the whole fusion theme. Some highlights include the arancicni…

Amazing unique food, great atmosphere and service
by AlisonH at Citysearch
I love this place! This was my third time there! The first time we ate there I was a little skeptical of the Mexican/Italian combo but the place was so cute that I couldn't pass it up. But they totally delivered. They combine the two kinds of food amazingly. Last night I got a prix fixe for $25! Appetizer, entree and dessert! I got a delicious butternut squash soup, then the gnocchi (with amazing flavors including cotija cheese), then the warm chocolate cake with vanilla gelato and dulce de leche! MMMM! My friends all enjoyed their meals just as much. (My boyfriend had an amaaazing churasco.) I am not one to write about the service at a restaurant unless it's really good or really bad... But the waiters, bus boys, and owner at this place are SOO sweet that that alone makes you want to come back. Between the service, the delicious food and the rustic, elegant atmosphere, you should definitely check it out...
- Pros: unique combo of food
- Cons: none

Great Food&Service, No Waits, Good for having a conversation
by as234r at Citysearch
The food here is consistently delicious and well prepared. For appetizers, I've had the homemade pasta, which is prepared differently depending on the menu and season and an empanada with greens, raisins, and cheese. I've always ordered whatever fish is on the menu, which is prepared with seasonable vegetables (most recently kale and a vegetable and lentil mix) and is always perfectly seasoned and cooked. The amount of food always leaves me feeling full but not overly stuffed. The service is extremely professional, attentive, and friendly. I also really like that there has never been a wait (the restaurant is never empty, but it's never packed) and that it is a good place to go if you want good food and to talk to your dinner companions.
- Pros: great food and service, good for talking

A Perfect Restaurant in Williamsburg
by LT1175 at Citysearch
We have come here several times and each time we tried something new and it has exceeded our expectations. The owner greets us immediately and he is kind and patient. The food is outstanding and the wine list is very good and reasonable priced. The setting is cozy and intimate and the value of the food is ideal! I highly recommend coming here. It is well worth anyone's time and money.
- Pros: unique menu, friendly staff
- Cons: bread is good, not great
