Back again and just as enjoyable as before! We had 9 people with us and had a fantastic experience, excellent food, fabulous dessert and an enjoyable sangria. read more

The food was overcooked; portions were small and overpriced. Service was slow, and the atmosphere was loud. The menu has a limited selection. It was our first time there; we wouldn't recommend it or plan to return. read more

My husband and I were excited to try Miguel's. We got a GC for Xmas. We enjoyed the music that was playing. The food was good, enjoyed the wine. It was a good one time place. read more

Great food, friendly service, nostalgic bar with beautiful carved wood decor and high ceilings,

The food here is amazing. I've gotten the filet mignon and it was delicious and tasty. I hope you like it on the rare side of medium rare though. The service is fast but not overtly friendly, I have a feeling that's part of the charm. I'd definitely return read more

I was expecting better from what my friends recommended. Rather than casting a discouraging review I'll keep this one to myself

We have been here 3 times and ordered 3 different meals, we have been very satisfied no matter what we have ordered. Chef made meals and generous portions. The PEI mussels, diver scallops, Pollo Picatta, Osso Bucco, Shrimp Paella all were delicious. I can't wait to go again and try something new off the menu. read more

Always a great meal and atmosphere. Very homey feeling and lots of times love entertainment! read more

We were on our way to Allentown airport and found Miguel's in Belfast. It was 2 min off of main highway(33). The place has a great old bar with a good selection. I had the crab cakes and enjoyed them my wife had the garlic shrimp and she seemed to enjoy it. Server was friendly and professional. I appreciate the effort this restaurant put forward and the prices were reasonable. I would recommend Miguel's. Definitely a whole lot better than the corporate restaurants around airports. read more

My family and I visited Miguel's because it is a local eatery and we never dined there before. Unfortunately, it is unimpressive and bland--for both food and atmosphere. I have no idea how it got 4.4 stars on Google and here on Yelp. The building itself is old, fair enough; however the owners do nothing to capitalize on old world architectural appeal. Consequently, the place is drab, dark, and dingy feeling. The wobbly tables, banquet hall chairs, and dishwasher stained cutlery were SO cheap feeling. Additionally, our table was located right on top of an air vent that BLASTED cold air onto everyone and made it so uncomfortable to sit at. We had to cover the vent with a menu and hold it in place with our feet. Speaking of the menus, they seem to never wash them, as we received ones that had oily fingerprints and were sticky (hence why we didn't feel bad about using one as a vent cover.) The menu was appealing, but the dishes did not deliver on quality or flavor. They served us complimentary hot rolls (very nice) with garlic and oil. They need to add more garlic and spices because it was mostly tasteless oil. We also shared salads and littleneck clams. Salads were meh. Clams were ok. For our dishes, my family said their food was fairly mediocre. I personally had the linguine molusco, and I encountered sand in my clams, yuck! The sauce and pasta were too loose and soupy, which significantly watered down any flavor. We skipped dessert because we thought it wasn't worth it. I see a lot of potential in this place, but the atmosphere and menu need a serious overhaul and revamp. read more

We came here a couple years ago, and i do not know why I didn't leave a review, BUT definitely visit here for a great dining experience. The service was friendly, attentive, & informative even though you could tell she was very busy. We split a few apps.....Baked Brie, Escargot, & Mussels in a Saffron sauce ( as per the staff's recommendation- bummed I can't recall her name) We washed it down with 2 of their signature cocktails. ...it was all DELISH! read more

We had a delicious meal here. We shared a appy Brie with seasonal fruit. Also on the table is a dish w olive oil ad minced garlic mince roasted peppers to dip their homemade bread into. I ordered scallops/mushrooms with saffron sauce and my sis ordered the filet medium Rae with Peppercorn sauce .Both were perfectly cooked and served with salad and fresh veggies . And if wanted a potato. Well worth the price . 26.00 for the Scalllop meal and 32.00 for the filet. Appy was 9.00 read more

This is one of our favorite places to dine. Always great specials and great service. We especially like when Neil is tickling the ivories on a Friday night! read more

Absolutely love Miguel's. Friendly staff, wonderful food specials and tasty specialty drinks. Everything I've tried has been meticulously made and delicious. Also a great intimate setting with dim lights and mahogany tables and chairs, bringing comfort and warmth to the dining experience. Highly recommend! read more

Always fun with great service and apps as well as dinners! We've been regular customers for years. Good selection of cocktails, wine and beer. read more

We used to be frequent Miguel 'go-ers' but tonight ended that. Our food was soggy and mediocre at best. I was really disappointed because the food is typically good, but tonight was not it. The salad looked like rabbit leaves and the entree was just awful and left me with a stomach ache for hours. Will not be returning. read more

Miguel's is the quaintest most adorable place to enjoy a quite DELICIOUS meal! Great food. The most gracious host & chef in the LHV area. Kurt the bartender serves up hospitality and the best sangria I've had. Do your self a flavor and stop by for the best paella in town 4/27/2018. Still fantastic. !!! read more

Nice atmosphere, historic building. Food was good, enjoyed the dinner. The food is better than bar food, but not fine dining. I will be eating there again read more

Stopped by here a few times, first time eating here. Went with appetizers PEI mussles and garlic shrimp. They start you off with warm slices of bread with a garlic oil for dipping. The mussels were good. The shrimp came out sizzling, not so much garlic, oh well. Strange dish, it was like they took a couple of shrimp and cut them into small pieces. read more

On the recommendation of a friend, we decided to make a reservation at Miguel's last night. It was such a disappointment I honestly don't know where to begin. We were seated almost immediately but that's when things began to go wrong. They had a musician performing live music and his amp was turned up so high that people literally had to yell to be heard at their table. Consequently, the noise level was off the charts! We sat there for nearly 20 minutes before anyone came by to ask us if we'd like something to drink! Everything went downhill from there. We finally received our Entrees 2 hours after we sat down! Honestly, I would have been OK with that if the food had been exceptional. Unfortunately it wasn't. The only good thing about the experience was that the waitress was extremely apologetic. Suffice it to say, we won't be returning. read more

We finally stopped into this charming place! They brought us delicious bread and oil to snack on along with our drink orders. The mussels appetizer was succulent, and so was the steamed calamari. The scallops dinner was the perfect finish to this experience! read more

I don't know why there are not more reviews here on Yelp for this restaurant. Due to the Covid-19 situation, we came here for dinner to sit outside on the large wrap around porch and were pleasantly surprised how good it was. Sitting outside can tend to be noisy from cars with loud mufflers but we felt safer outside than eating inside. Our waitress (Michelle) was wonderful and very welcoming. She had provided us with recommendations for items both on and off the menu and her suggestions were spot on. The prices are very fair for the QUALITY of food served. We had the chicken croquettes (Fresh homemade recipe) and mussels made spicy in a tomato base (Fra Diavolo style) for appetizers and as she suggested they were both fantastic. Then we both had the Chicken breasts in lemon sauce with capers, I believe on the menu it is called Pollo Picatta. The dinner also comes with a large sized salad with salad dressing of choice. Not only was the dinner delicious, it was as fresh as can be and was NOT loaded with salt. Food was presented neatly and instead of pasta I was able to have the vegetables and roasted potatoes as a substitute. Everything is made to order however, the wait time was minimal and well worth the wait! By the time we finished the appetizers and fresh baked bread, the dinner arrived. Dinner food portions were good, enough to take some home if you like. Once this Covid-19 situation eventually subsides, we would like to go back to eat inside. But for now we will only eat outdoors where there is good common sense social distancing provided. We will definitely return and look forward to the experience again. read more

Great Times and Memories for everyone with excellent service and great food. Otherwise We would enjoy Playing Music there if given the opportunity and have Friends and Family that will come out to see us and have dinner and enjoy the night. Thanks John Alberto from Jumpstart Music read more

My first time here the service was slow, but that's because the waitress was basically working solo. Even so she handled all her tables like a pro. I was very impressed. I had 2 drinks, both were quite tasty especially the Jameson Green Tea. Bread and oil were brought to the table, unfortunately the oil was tasteless so I added salt and pepper and then it was delish. We ordered 2 apps the mussels were just ok, but the escargot was amazing. Our entrees were the filet mignon from the regular menu and the chicken and scallop special. Both were good, but the special only came with 2 small scallops I was expecting more of them. I would definitely come back and recommend to others. read more

This quiet town has this nice spot with an even nicer waiter/bartender I stopped in just for something quick and small to eat. because i was going to a BBQ but the food wasnt ready lol (dont you hate when you go to a party...you arrive and the food isnt ready) so my dilemma sit and starve to death or venture out and find a quick bite, which lead me to Miguel I ordered a small pizza the mozzarella and tomato with a martini and it was everything i needed to hold me over. I have to admit i was nervous about P.A. pizza...i mean its not what they're known for. But i was pleasantly surprised. I kinda wish i could have it right now, but i live over 100 miles away. So Im certain the next time im in town no matter what I'll be stopping by for pizza again read more

Going to miss this place since Lisa and Bill are moving, I don't know when I'll ever get back to this neck of the woods. It's been a great experience trying different items on the menu every time we get a chance to visit. Impeccable service and Outstanding food. read more

Best restaurant around if you are looking for something other than burgers and light fare. This chef is a master of sauces! Nice atmosphere in the turn of the century Victorian bar. Great service and great, reasonably priced drinks. A big sangria is $8 for example (overpriced $12-14 drinks are a pet peeve of mine) Love this place! read more

Quiet, lovely, historic. The area's best kept secret. Chef Miguel has true talent. Every dish I've had here is delicious! My favorite is his Pollo con Chorizo. read more

While in Bethlehem on business, I had some down time and decided to head out to Jacobsburg State Park to take in all of its 1,168 acre goodness and live my life a little bit more "deliberately" as fate would have it. I came away with two things from this experience: 1) always bring a flashlight if you're attempting to cover 1,168 acres in one day, and 2) Bring some damn food! Shit can get real, and not in some Walden Pond existential kind of way, no, more like the I'm starving and if I see another human being, this might turn into an Alive type of situation. But I digress... (Enter stage, left) Miguel's Restaurant and Lounge, you saved the day! Famished from my arduous afternoon of Thoreau-ing myself to the wilds, I wondered if small plates would do the trick. No matter, I'll just get many of them, maybe 20, and have a drink, or ten at the bar. Now I'm blushing... This bar is beautiful! The whole building, really, transports you back to well, a simpler time, an era when one would "... rather be happy than dignified" - I later learned that the site used to serve as a Victorian Hotel, quite fitting. Of all the bar bites and snacks, which are reasonably priced at a mere $5 and apps at around $8-$10, the Gambas al Ajillio stole the show. Who doesn't love shrimp sauteed in a peppery garlic, tomato, and brandy broth? Simple and refreshing. The goat cheese and escargot were also nice compliments and were prepared with careful attention to subtle detail. For my entree I was curiously drawn to the Pork Osso Bocu as in most occasions this calls for veal shanks, but nonetheless, I am not one to shy away from innovation. I am glad that I made that call because Miguel's take on this classic Italian dish was delicioso! By the end of my meal I had slain my beastly hunger and wished for a minute that the hotel was still operational. I needed a stiff drink and while that quench would go unsatisfied, it was probably for the best as my drive would continue for a bit back to the city and back to a reality I had long forgotten during this adventure. It's a poor sort of memory that only works backwards... I didn't know where I was going, but somehow knew that any road would get me there. In the morning I was nostalgic about my meal the night before. I can't go back to yesterday - because I was a different person then... a person without Penn's Woods, a person without Miguel's. read more

Walking into this unassuming place, I didn't know what to expect. Well, sometimes a little surprise can be a fine thing. We came on a Saturday evening. The atmosphere is a bit outdated (we ate by the bar), but it was passable. I ordered the cream of broccoli soup and the lobster ravioli and my friend ordered the shrimp over rice. The soup was very good. Delicious. The lobster ravioli was okay. The layer of lobster meat inside was lacking. The shrimp over rice though was very good. It was bursting with flavor and the seafood tasted fresh as well. After about an hour or so, a pianist came by to sing live music. Wow, now this place is feeling very warm and cozy. While was food was alright, the live music made the experience memorable. Awesome. Wished more restaurants would put a spin on the customer experience like Miguel's. read more

Great ambiance... beautiful bar and friendly service. Have been going here for years and Miguel and his team really go out of their way so you have a special dining experience! Thank you read more

Would love to leave this place less than one star. This is my first yelp review and I am very generous when it comes to restaurants and am very hesitant to leave anything negative because I value the hard work that gets put into restaurant work. This was a bit unbelievable. Let me start off with the lavender martini was amazing as were the fresh bread with olive oil dip. It definitely got us excited for the meal. Which we waited for for a total of two hours I walked around and the restaurant was about half full so there was no reason it should have taken so long! Our appetizers, fried and sauted calamari, (tiniest calamari I have ever seen!) came about an hour in and then the salad came about 30-40 minutes later. When our food came two hours after we had ordered we were ready to eat. My father and I ordered the paella for two which was mostly rice and didn't have all the ingredients it was supposed too it was really tasteless and the seafood (mussels clams shrimp and calamari) was not flavored well and tasted old! it basically was fishy tasting rice with peas very plain and flavorless. And it cost us 44 dollars! We ate less than half between the two of us and they said it was half eaten so they wouldn't refund or discount any bit of the price. My Mom ordered the scallops from the tapas menu and they were spoiled! We sent those back and they did refund us for that. My husband ordered the chicken alfredo with penne and it was mediocre at best. We questioned how does anyone mess up chicken Alfredo!!! He also ate less than half and complained about it and no discount or refund at all!!! although the servers were apologetic they couldn't really do anything to help resolve. Over all this was an extremely expensive and time consuming disappointment as a restaurant. If you're just looking to have a drink and an appetizer it's an ok place but honestly your local dive bar probably has better food and service. We are not picky people or foodies at all and normally wouldn't complain even if food was mediocre. Honestly I've never had an experience like this in a restaurant that is so highly priced!!! Don't waste your time and money life's too short to eat crappy food that you have to sit and wait for, for hours!!! read more

Ok been holding out on this review because this is the best hidden secret in Belfast PA ( which is right off of 33). We have been going here for over a year and it's time to give up the secret. This is one of the best places, to start the decor is so inviting and warm. They have a great vintage looking bar with some of the best mixed drinks. The bartender is great and knows how to make the drinks just perfect! Our waitress Michele is beyond accommodating she knows her customers and treats everyone like family. We have been here numerous times and have had many of their dishes for appetizers you can't go wrong with the shrimp which is sauted in olive oil with garlic and a bit of hot pepper. ( Save some bread for dipping) we have also had the steamed clams with chorzio in a white wine and garlic sauce...again save bread for dipping! Also the stuffed jalapeno with goat cheese is great! So many great option. For entree's I a have to say that since moving to the area Miguel's is the only place I know who can cook Filet Mingon correctly. We always order medium rear and for as many times we have been here we have never had to send it back! Make sure to get the peppercorn sauce he makes for the filet you won't be disappointed. With that comes a helping of fresh mashed potatoes and vegetables in season. Always the ultimate meal. This past Friday I had the sea scallops in a saffron cream sauce that is also on the appetizer menu, however he always acommadates and will make it a meal for me with 5 large scallops in the sauce with a side of rice. The scallops are cooked to perfection always! He also makes a shrimp paella that is served with a saffron rice it's so light and airy if your looking for something on the lighter side....His menu also offers veal dishes, chicken, etc . Deserts consist of chocolate mousse cake , tirimisi, etc. If you want a great meal this is the best place in the area....bon appetit! read more
