Ballantyne may be booming with new restaurants, but one longtime favorite is proving that tradition still has a place — and a loyal fan base.
Why it matters: "Many restaurants have come and gone. But after 25 years, we're still here," Miro Spanish Grille co-owner Felipe Alvarez tells Axios.
Dig in: Miro is a Spanish tapas, steakhouse and seafood restaurant. It's best known for its paella, Chilean sea bass, filet mignon, shareable plates and desserts, which they proudly present to you on a platter to choose from at the end of your meal.
Its wine list is comprised of wines from six Spanish regions, and its rotating cocktail menu also highlights Spanish flavors.
The vibe: With live music every Thursday night and traditional Spanish dishes, Miro is a family-friendly spot that draws repeat customers time and time again.
💭 My thought bubble: What Miro lacks in contemporary interior design that some of Charlotte's newest restaurants have, it makes up for in consistency and quality of service.
Flashback: Miró first opened in 1999 in Stonecrest. About 10 years ago, the restaurant moved to the Toringdon Market Shopping Center in Ballantyne. Last November, the restaurant celebrated its 25th anniversary.
Ballantyne residents Felipe Alvarez, Erwin Del Pozo, and Aldo Caballero bought the restaurant from the Luong family about three years ago.
Between the lines: Alvarez, Del Pozo and Caballero are all Peruvian. "My grandfather was born in Seville, Spain," Alvarez said.
