    Owner reaching out. Tone deaf about customer feedback.
    Ginnie L.

    The original thoughts and experience remain spot on: Unpleasant; gloppy stodgy rice, overcooked seafood, a woeful ruin of the oysters and sluggish service even on a day when the space was mostly empty; quite ghastly. After the review posted, the Owner felt compelled to contact me. He had wanted me to contact his email, directly, to offer more feedback, with the potential to alter my review. It was insulting and, frankly, creepy and uncomfortable.

    Seafood paella
    Betty B.

    Street parking, wasn't difficult to find. There could be parking garages nearby but we found a spot just outside across the street so we lucked out. Flavors are great, very close to what we experience each year in souther spain. Potata Bravas had amazing flavor, we were warned the texture is not the same, did not mind as it had the right kick and thickness of sauce. The paella had a lot of seafood and good flavor. The meatballs were prepared well, the shrimp was close to gumbas pil pil (minus the garlic) was not over cooked. Servings sizes were perfect for tapas. Prices very reasonable. Had something similar to a wine drink we normally get in Spain and it was delicious (and not expensive!) The staff are all very professional and friendly, great interior decor, fun place for a date night or group gathering. I would highly recommend if you are in the area, we will be back!

    Who cares? It was bad.

    A friend and I went on at 5:30 on a Sunday. There was plenty of space. We ordered drinks and decided on three of the tapas. The drinks were good. The first selection was good. The second didn't come out. The third was really bad. The costillas. We told our server that the ribs were completely bland, like they had been boiled and placed on the rice. The rice was very overcooked! We chose another dish to replace it and asked about our third item. The item sent to replace the ribs was good. The third item came out and wasn't even as described on the menu, and it was disgusting. The server said they tasted it when it went back, and said they agreed that it was not good, nor was it as described on the menu. So, only one item we ordered was ok, the rest was garbage (not including the replacement they sent), so we had no faith that anything else we'd try would be any good. Instead, we left without having any dinner entrees. It was a huge let down. I had a birthday dinner reservation coming up, but I canceled it after that visit. I hope everyone else's experiences are better.

    Old fashion.

    Came here today for the first time. Didn't know this building existed after Stanley shutdown, I wish I had known of them sooner. Perfect for Tapas. Had the ceviche, tacos, and chips/dip. Preston and Jake were very friendly behind the bar. Social, and you can see that they have a great vibe going. Definitely coming back. Next time I'll try the Churrasco dish. Cheers

    Great dinner and dessert!

    Outstanding food and great ambiance! Chef is hands on and makes everything on site. Flank steak excellent with generous portions. Don't normally get dessert - do! In house made and wonderful. A great experience!

    I'm sorry to write this review, but our experience here was disappointing. I understand they just opened and are likely still working things out, but the overall concept didn't seem to come together. The staff seemed overwhelmed and unsure at times, which made the experience feel disorganized. The food, unfortunately, missed the mark. We waited about 20 minutes for the rotating tapas to come out, and when they did, most of the items were repetitive. They served Jamón Ibérico, which we've had many times before, but the chef didn't seem to know how to slice it properly, so it was extremely tough and difficult to eat. The paella also didn't sit well with my partner and he felt super sick after. There was also a cocktail that included truffle popcorn, and the chef came out to make freeze-dried, glitter-coated popcorn tableside. While it was certainly a show, the popcorn just tasted stale and cold and the glitter got everywhere rather than adding to the experience. I had considered giving the restaurant another try, but after how the first visit went, I feel hesitant. I genuinely hope they're able to refine the concept, menu, and service with more time. One good comment I can add is that one of the bartender was so nice!

    The food was good, we just did the "small plates" menu. Big con, FOR ME, the service was slow and quality of service was a 2/5 for me. The aesthetic was SUPER cute.. romantic and modern which i love! The drinks were okay, one of drinks did have a fly in it which got taken care of BUT drinks did take long and clearing the table took long which is a big problem FOR ME.

    Bacon wrapped dates

    First time trying Miro Tapas. We happened to be right behind the restaurant at the Tacoma Convention Center for a show, was super convenient to walk 1 min to Miro Tapas! Miro Tapas is in the old Pacific Grill building- right downtown. We sat in the lounge and service was great! The cocktail booklet is really impressive- lots of creative cocktails to choose from. I tried two- the watermelon Margarita, and the Spanish Daisy- both were fantastic. We also tried a great assortment of tapas- the fried chicken sliders, beef sliders, carne asada tacos, and the bacon wrapped dates- all were fantastic. The bacon wrapped dates were my favorite. Great food, great service, and great drinks'- highly recommend.

    This is an excellent place with a group of friends, coworkers, etc. I love the extensive drink list for both cocktails and mocktails- all drinks were delicious and satisfied all of us. We ordered tapas - cold and hot from the seafood paella to cornbread with Jamon. Everything was amazing and more than what we had expected for tapa style. I highly recommend the paella, and ask about portions because these dishes can serve multiple people, which was a definite plus. Parking can always be an issue downtown, but I've been able to find close and convenient parking. I e been here two times now and will go back again! Just what I/we needed for a good time.

    Pappas Brava!

    What a find! In Tacoma for business, but I'll come back for a personal trip and make sure I return to Miro Tapas! Gorgeous interiors, great food, excellent service. This is the perfect place for a first date (with someone you'd like to have a second), a special night with friends, a professional meeting, or even a family gathering. The bar is amazing, great wine selection, and the chef came out and said hello to us and told us about many other plans they have for cooking classes and wine tastings etc. Made me wish I lived here! This is a no risk choice for a fantastic meal and experience.

    Butchered pata de jamón
    Monica S.

    "A Spanish dining cuisine" is their logo, but as a Spaniard, who went to dinner with another Spaniard, we do not agree. The restaurant itself is very nice, cute building, and parking is on the street or various lots around. This restaurant copies Texas de Brasil and Fogo de Chao on their serving style. The left and right columns on the menu are a la carte, while the colorful columns in the middle, or "tapas", are brought around by wait staff and offered to each table. The random tiny red and green plastic discs on each table are supposed to be placed at the edge of your table to signal if you want them to come by with food. We learned this halfway through our dinner, as no one explained it to us. You're charged as a conveyer belt sushi style place would charge you - per plate/dish. Pros - building? Ambiance? The 3-inch pan where the coffee rub meat was served ($14), 3 bacon wrapped (tiny) dates with goat cheese filling ($8), the "chorizo" with clams, (which was italian hot sausage), and the 2 shrimp, each costing $7. The menu on their website, with spelling errors and all, is not entirely accurate to what the in-house menu looks like (ex: website menu states their dates have chorizo, but we were served bacon). Cons - it's a doozy, so buckle up or skip to the TL;DR, because if you're going to gentrify the tapeo experience, expect Spaniards to be pissed. Tapas are meant to be shareable, well- portioned and affordable. $14 for 2 shrimp is blasphemy. The table next to us told us NOT to get the mackarel, and we didn't listen so we ended up consuming a million fish bones. The flavor wasn't bad, but somehow the citrus garlic flavor just tasted sweet. The pan con tomate was tomato jam reminiscent of the subway chicken teriyaki glaze, and so very, very sweet. That's not pan con tomate. Don't even get me started on the absolute butchering of the jamón. Whoever was CUTTING (Not slicing) into it needs to be trained. Not only do you NOT cut a pata negra like that, but we were served the tough skin bits that we usually reserve for broths and soups. That also came with a "tomate preserve" weird ass dip that had whole almonds in it. Why? Because Americans. The selection de 3 had tasteless humus. Chickpeas are flavorful, but this was like eating tofu spread. It somehow was paired with blue cheese crumbles, 2 tiny slices of manchego, a random slice of quince paste, and some random Italian olives. Make it make sense!? The dish that did it for me was the tortilla de whatever that was. Not only were the potatoes BROWN (see photos), but it was dry, stuck to the pan, tasted SWEET, and somehow the inside had holes??? Did it need to air itself out?? The meatballs tasted okay, but were somehow chewy and dry? I've had some shitty Spanish wanna-be food before, but this was tasteless blasphemy after tasteless blasphemy, and all of that amounted to almost $300. Did I mention that my friend's husband was brought HALF a beer because they ran out and instead of not charging him for HALF a beer they had the gall to say we would get a discount on it?!? This is after charging us for an a la carte dish we never got and had to ask to be taken off the bill. In the 3 hours we were there, only 3 plates were ever removed from our table, so we ended up piling things on top of other things. If you somehow missed the rounds of tapas, you could potentially go hungry if you decide not to order from the a la carte part of the menu. Also, gazpacho and salmorejo are two different dishes, contrary to what this restaurant would have you believe (for $9). TL;DR - Just don't. Or do? But just know it's gentrified, overpriced, tiny food.

    Paella Mixtá

    VALENTINE'S DAY FIASCO * AMBIANCE () - Nicely lit open spaces with optional seating spaces ranging from big sofa booths to shared open seating places, to a lounge area with a street view and bar area decorated with trees in a high ceiling industrial space. * SERVICE (Kitchen & Waiters ‍‍‍) - Our reservation was scheduled for 6:30 and we showed up about 10min early. The hostess was gracious enough to seat us, reminded us we had an 1hr 45min time limit and gave us our choice of seating minus the booths (for parties of four). Service was EXTREMELY slow and chaotic!!! Orders were delayed and servers were bringing appetizers to the wrong tables multiple times. We ordered 3 appetizers and only received 1 (Ceviché). We were comped an additional appetizer because one of the apps they ran out of and the third app they completely forgot. Our entrées didn't arrive until about 1hr 15min. We were constantly left unattended as the servers were also the bar tenders who kept apologizing for the lack of service. We even had to cancel the dessert order (Churros & flan) which never showed after waiting 20min just for dessert alone. Our total time at the restaurant ended up being 2hrs 45min due to the slow turn out from the kitchen. * FOOD () - The quality of what we did receive was prepared & cooked nicely. The portions were generous and the pricing reasonable for what we ordered (Paella Mixtá & Churascos Chimichurri), which (not gonna lie) was delicious. * PARKING (‍) - on a normal weekday (non-holiday or special occasion) is shared with Nate Jackson's comedy club so it can be sporadic. It's located on a Main Street but easy to get too. Paid for parking across the street fills up quick with a flat rate of $12 for 10hrs. * OVERALL VERDICT (‍) - We would not try this place again! This place despite its amazing decorum, open space, and flavorful food is stifled by poor service caused by a slow and chaotic kitchen. Unfortunately they underwhelmed and performed poorly on a night "Valentine's Day" of all days they should not have. Unless you don't mind wasting your time and based on other reviews, this new Tacoma restaurant has already established bad habits with slow service. I wish them nothing but the best of luck and hope they can turn this around before it becomes another vacant corner spot once again.

    Mouthwatering, deliciously spiced, authentic, melt in your mouth, food! Kudos to the chef! I highly recommend this place to everyone! The atmosphere was amazing. The waiters and baristas were friendly, accommodating and at our service, instantly. Great prices, awesome restaurant! I will return.

    A steak tapas. Yummy!

Seating is limited, but the bar is fully stocked! We ordered the chicken caesar salad and the Lil Saigon Sliders. The salad was fresh and crunchy, chicken well seasoned and tender, and the caesar dressing was BOMB! But those sliders..... WOW. The sliders bring everything you love about a banh mi to a mini slider that is the perfect snack size (although, they were so good we ended up ordering another) Our waitress was super kind and helpful with ordering, even suggesting a cocktail that was delicious. I can't stop thinking about how surprisingly good everything was and I cannot wait to come back for more!

The waitress even mentioned it was hot in this room and when we commented on it she just said yeah it sucks. I have Celiac so this is not a dietary choice, it's a medical restriction. I asked about gluten free options and she said nothing is gluten free (even though the website says it gluten free options available). She then said the best option for me would be the mushrooms or the wings because they are lightly breaded and she is gluten free and does well with those. We paid for our drinks and left. I won't be coming back and it's not because of the menu.

If I hate to scan a QR code for a menu and there aren't even pictures, what's the point? I don't need a fancy menu, but a printed menu is nicer. We got the Skillet Smashed Fingerlings/potatoes appetizer to start, very delicious! My dinner companion got the Classic Smash Burger. She said the burger was great, and she knew there were going to be caramelized onions, but there was a lot packed in the middle of the patty. The novelty wore off quickly. She still said it was good overall. I ordered the Scarlet Rosemary (chicken and homemade pasta), and it was really good. The chicken was cooked perfectly and the sauce was fantastic, but the only problem was; there wasn't enough of it (sauce) and when the dish cooled as we ate, you couldn't taste the sauce much. About 7-10 minutes after getting our food, my friend took a bite of my pasta and said "I don't taste any flavor at all" and I realized I was mostly tasting the chicken at this point and I was sliding the pasta in the very small bit of sauce on the plate. I would suggest don't be stingy with the sauce because it was great. Otherwise the food was wonderful and we'll plan on going back.

The food itself was decent, but definitely overpriced for what you get. We ordered a cheese plate and a salad. It took well over 45 minutes just to receive the cheese plate, and then another 35+ minutes for the salad to come out. That felt excessive, especially considering the restaurant wasn't busy when we first arrived. There was a bridal shower happening, which is totally understandable and of course events can impact service. However, at the time we were seated, it wasn't crowded at all. The service was also disappointing. Our waitress rarely checked in, and we eventually had to go up to the bar ourselves to ask for napkins and water refill. Overall, it wasn't a terrible experience, but for the prices and the wait times, I expected much better service and efficiency. I understand maybe we caught them on a off day, but for being my first experience I'd consider giving it another try, but improvements in attentiveness and timing would make a big difference.

It's a small place so definitely show up when they're about to open (4pm) bc it'll get crowded by then! Their seating is small so the booths are really for 2 ppl. We were a group of 3 and made it work! Our server was nice and patient with our questions! He said they do this "Christmas pop up bar" during the holidays and fully revamp their menu to be holiday-themed. Everything will be taken down and full menu back in January. I got the Christmapolitan which was lovely! My friend got the cocktail that was named from the Die Hard movie, "Yipee, kai-yay MF" lol.

When I arrived, there was no greeter or host present. I went to the empty seat, briefly set down my coat, and dropped off the birthday gift. When I returned to the seat moments later, a member of the wait staff approached me and said, "What do you think we are doing? We seat people here." I asked whether that was how customers are typically greeted. She then stated that I had "tons of privilege" and directed me to leave the bar, including while I was standing near the door waiting for my friends. I understand that businesses have seating policies, but in this instance there was no clear signage or staff guidance upon entry. The situation was handled in a way that escalated rather than clarified the issue and detracted from what was intended to be a birthday celebration. Added after response from owner: You are certainly free to report your side of the story. I was greeted by your staff with the line, "Who the hell are you!" I asked, "Do you greet all of your customers that way." She then berated me and told me that she does if they just walk in and skip the line. Like most bars, with no one present at the front I assumed bar seating was open. Upon greeting my friends I took the seat. In regards to threatening remarks, the only threat I made was that I would leave a review. I used no harsh language and proceeded to the front of the restaurant to wait for my friends who decided to cash out. Your staff member proceeded to continue to berate me and tell me I would be trespassed if I didn't leave the restaurant and stand in the rain. I did leave while she continued to scream at me. Since I did not have context for what you described a simple, "Hi, we seat at the bar here and this is someone else's seat" would have been a great way to greet me. Don't assume I had bad intent just because I was trying to patronize the establishment. I highly suggest you read your reviews and quit attacking your patrons. Based on what I have read you have a serious problem with staff behavior. You spend all of your time on here defending bad practices instead of improving your service. I am happy to say that I will never patronize your business. In addition you lost 14 other customers due to your actions. I was told I must have privilege just to walk in to meet my friends at a bar. You have a clear over inflated sense of self worth to assume your bar is so great that treating customers this way will keep you in business. Best of luck, and you are correct, a place where staff greet you by yelling at you is not a great fit for me. It likely isn't for others as well.
