Milagro

Hello Mechanicsvillians, Hintonburgers and Westborians! (I am now including people from Westboro since this article is about one of their restaurants)

Last Saturday, Erin G and I headed to Milagro with Heidi and Mark. None of us had been there before, so we figured it was an excellent occasion to check out the 2nd hottest new restaurant in the Westboro area!

My first impression of the restaurant from the outside was disappointment, but that was only because the cool car that appears on their web page was not parked out front this particular evening. Once we got inside however, the place was buzzing with action.

Mark had made us reservations earlier in the day, and the staff must have known we were going to be the best looking people at the joint that evening and sat us right up at the front by the huge window. I am sure dozens of passers-by saw us enjoying ourselves in there, and stopped in just because of it. Also, when Mark talked to the girl on the phone...she let us know that the kitchen would be informed that we were coming to eat. I am not sure if this is standard practice at Milagro, but if you are making a reservation, I would highly recommend making sure the kitchen staff is aware of it.

We started the evening off with a nice bottle of Wolf Blass. I think it was a Shiraz of some type, from the year 2004. I usually like my wines as fresh as possible, but 2004 will do. The waiter came out and opened the bottle, with Erin G. getting the honour of testing it out. She ended up giving him the thumbs up...he then filled up the rest of our glasses.

For dinner, I had the swordfish. It was incredible! I have never eaten it before, and from a young age I have always wanted to go to a restaurant and say "I'll have the swordfish!". Well, that dream has now been reached, and it was well worth the wait.

Everyone in our party seemed to enjoy their meal, I will leave them the opportunity to leave comments at the bottom of the article so they can say what they think. I do not like to put words in people's mouths, so they can say what they want!

After dinner, we headed over to the Bridgehead coffee on Wellington Street and had some after dinner coffees. My espresso was incredible, and it successfully kept me up for 18 hours afterwards.

Unfortunately I do not have any pictures of this event, I will try to take some at my next restaurant visit!.
