⭐ This Week’s FEATURED SPOT
East side / St. Paul’s Square: MILES BISTRO
The Vibe
Cool without trying too hard. Miles brings a jazz-inspired, neighborhood-bar feel to historic St. Paul Square, with great music, moody energy, and a menu appropriately called ‘The Setlist’. Come for dinner and cocktails, but don’t be surprised if one drink turns into three.
Must-Order Items
Start with the Snapper Ceviche, brightened up with summer melon and guajillo oil. For the main event, go for the Butcher’s Cut with soy-glazed potatoes and salsa macha. Feeling playful? Order the Happy Meal! It is their Filet-O-Fish style sandwich paired with either a Miller High Life or a gin martini.
Pro Tip
Miles offers two hours of validated parking in nearby lots, which takes some headache of trying to park downtown.
📍 Address: 1170 E. Commerce St. Ste 100, 78205
