    Had dinner here before the show at Beacon Theater. Food was good. Cant complain about a single dish we ordered. Ended up coming back here after the show for a few drinks. My only complain is they closed at 10pm on a dot on Thursday night. I realize that those are their closing hours but you have a sold out show next door maybe stay open a bit longer.

    This was our first dining experience at Miriam, but it will not be our last. The food was excellent although the portion size varied from small to very large. We opted for 3 appetizers, a dip, and 2 entrees for 2 of is. We left full and felt very happy to have listened to the server’s suggestions. The food is very flavorful, leaning towards the spicy side, and full of aroma and flavor that one would expect (and hope for) in Israeli cuisine. Well-done Miriam! See you again soon!

    Great dinner spot before an event at the Beacon. A bit noisy and crowded.

    They changed the menu and now buy things like bread instead of making it. The brunch was awful. I used to go here regularly but after the menu change, I will stop going. I did tell the manager but she didn’t seem to care.
