Milagro Restaurant and Bar

This may be the most-delicious dinner I have ever eaten. Honestly. I was so very impressed. My mom and I split the fish of the day. I had a strawberry gimlet that had fresh strawberry puree. It was heavenly.

My partner and I wanted to love this restaurant but found it to be mediocre and unfortunately were sick afterwards. We started off with their shrimp appetizer which was 4 pieces of unseasoned shrimp over a spread of a simple mayo and tartar sauce spread. Yes, there were other spices but nothing that made it memorable. My partner had the enchiladas which he enjoyed, while I ordered the special. Again, nothing special. It was priced at almost $50 and it was simply some roasted vegetables with a small fillet of the local fish and three grilled shrimp. There was simple seasoning. We were both expecting so much more given the website’s description and the high praises in previous reviews. The staff was very kind and attentive, which is a positive that should be pointed out. But this was truly the only positive for us.

Das Essen ist der Hammer. Wir hatten Oktopus und Calamari als Vorspeise die schon reichhaltig war. Als Hauptgang Filet Mignon und Fettucine. Beides super lecker und klasse Qualität. Zu guter letzt die Key Lime Tarte. Es gab aber auch rein gar nichts zu bemängeln. Wir hatten uns sehr kurzfristig entschieden zu reservieren und nur noch einen Platz an der Theke bekommen, der aber super gemütlich war. Sylvia unser Bar Tender war super super freundlich und hat hervorragend bedient. Ein durchaus mehr als gelungener Abend mit einem exzellenten Essen. Achtung! Sehr modern und kein Key West Style. Wer sowas sucht sollte hier nicht hin, wer aber super Qualität sucht ist hier bestens aufgehoben.

We had an amazing diner at Milagro! Andrew directed us thru wonderful choices of diner, cocktails, wine and even tequila. Everything was spot on from calamari and bread, to salads and entrees. Our table was cleaned and reset flawlessly after each course. Definitely best dining experience in Key West.

Had octopus for the first time...loved it! They offer it as one of their appetizers. They cook it with cherry wood giving it a delicious flavor! Every entree we ordered was fantastic!

I’m posting a review in real time…that’s how poor of an experience this was. My partner and I were swayed by the website’s description and how the chef has apparently worked in Michelin star restaurants. We wouldn’t have known. Starting with the appetizer - we couldn’t believe the shrimp served with basically a tartar and mayo sauce. My partner got the special and was shocked by the presentation and taste, as was I. The fish, local, was bland in taste, vegetables were simply flashed boiled with some salt and potatoes overly salted. I had the enchiladas. These were actually the saving grace of the meal. They were very good. Update: we both had tummy aches until the next day.

Had dinner here during a holiday weekend and it was amazing! Even though it was busy, they took very good care of us- every dish we tried was delicious and put together perfectly. The desserts were the highlight of our meal! The cheesecake and the key lime pie were to die for and we debated ordering more to go!!

Best food I've had in years! The Filet Mignon and Shrimp dish is super delicious. My wife ordered the Chicken breast dish and that was amazing! If you are in Key West, this place is a must for nice dinner.
