Very cute but one and done for us. It was very pricey for what you got & our server (was so nice and friendly) but was insanely slow and forgot to even take our order. We had to wait 40 mins into being there to flag him down to order food. Other than that, glad we tried it but wouldn’t go again.

Very festive environment. Staff was attentive and pleasant. Drinks were good however tapas menu items could have been a bit better (chips and dip, cookies, churros, meatballs). It took a while for items to get to the table. I ordered meatballs and were lukewarm by the time I got them. Fun for a holiday night with drinks and gift exchange.

I’m not sure if we caught them on an off day, but the food was not fresh at all. The turkey was very dry and the meatballs were cold and salty. The best thing they had was the buffalo dip. The staff was very nice, however, service was slow. They made us pay online to reserve the table and then when it was time to pay they added $10 for the table and said they just sent an email with a refund for the money I paid online… like what was the point. Over all it was not worth the money.

Hi Cat, thank you for your feedback! We strive for all of our food to come out with top-notch quality, so we do apologize for your experience! We appreciate your concerns and will do everything we can to improve our services for next year! Happy Holidays!

Cute inside. Was excited to try the drink menu. Food menu was extremely limited- especially for a place with lots of mixed drinks. Unfortunately both our drinks and food were very subpar. Even my hot chocolate was lukewarm at best. Super disappointing. Also, our server may have been burnt out- because they seemed completely disinterested in even coming over to our table. What I was super excited for, for over a month was lackluster. We left in an hour into it because it just wasn’t it (for us).

Hi Jessica! We are so sorry to hear about your experience. We really do strive for better service and quality! We appreciate your feedback, and will take your concerns seriously. Thank you and happy holidays! We hope you'll give us another chance next year!

Appreciated the ambiance and Christmas themed settings. We ended up leaving due to slow service and limited food selection. We put in a drink order with 30 minute wait before learning our order was missed at the bar. We also didn’t enjoy having to pay for the themed mugs if purchasing a drink, cost of drink -$13, themed mug - $15…where does it cost $28 for a well tequila based drink?
Miracle Bar at Waterside DistrictResponded on 27 December 2025
We appreciate your feedback, and are so sorry to hear that Evette. We do strive for the service to be better than that! Regarding the price of drinks, we use premium liquor in our cocktails. Our cups are not included, but can be purchased separately. We appreciate your understanding. Happy holidays!

It was a great experience but I wish there were a few more food options and while the drinks names sounded amazing the ingredients in the drinks made it very hard to find one I might enjoy.

Thank you for your feedback Kristina! We are thrilled that you had a great experience! We are sorry our craft cocktails did not meet your expectations. We hope you'll give us another chance next year!!
