Restaurant Review: Miguels on Main

October 29, 2010

What did I like about it? I like the cozy little bar in the front of the restaurant–perfect for solo diners who want to be social.  I like the decor – upscale Mexican, tastefully done. There are plenty of two-top tables.  I like the outdoor patio dining, though it was too cold for us to [...]
