    We have been eating at Miro's for 20+ years and we love it. My only short coming is I do not do a review each time we are there. We try to eat there 10 times a year. The food is always excellent. My loves the Schnitzel with and the stroganoff. Since I have had everything on the menu at least once I always lean toward the specials. This time it was the Ahi Tuna which was great, They also served a new bean soup which was perfect,
