I can't say enough good things about Miramar. Every meal is delicious, and seasoned to perfection. The service is on par with the best restaurants that cost three times as much. The servers also know their wines, so feel free to ask for pairings. Our family has had most things on the menu and we've not been disappointed by any of them. We've also decided we need to dine here once a week or at least every other week.
Great food, both quality and quantity, and really liked the atmosphere.

Awesome place, loved the mojitos, escargots, and the steak frites!!! The bread pudding dessert was delicious as well!
We had a fantastic meal on Christmas Eve at Miramar. The service was excellent as was the food. It's a warm and festive atmosphere- lots of fun.
Delicious onion soup. Steak frites were very good however, our requested " mediums" were a bit more well done than preferred but still delicious. Very good desserts and cappucinos
Excellent lunch with four friends from the city. They loved the food, service and decor. It was a bit noisy, but we were able hear each other. Highly recommend!
We were celebrating a birthday. My husband had called earlier during the week and asked for a booth. They didn't honor our request. We were seated at the worst table in the restaurant; the very first table as you enter the restaurant. The entryway to the restaurant is extremely small, so as people were entering the restaurant, they were standing (hovering) by our table. We ordered the escargot and were disappointed. We have had escargot at other area restaurants and absolutely loved the crumbled parmesan cheese and bread topping; Mirmar serves it the traditional way, which doesn't include the bread topping. I ordered a cocktail shrimp (you can build your own seafood platter and order as many as you want). They didn't serve it with cocktail sauce; just plopped it on top of the salad I ordered. Overall, we were very disappointed after the hype about how good it was supposed to be. My husband called this morning to share our disappointment, and the manager could have cared less; didn't even ask him his name. Wouldn't recommend this restaurant nor will we be coming back anytime soon.

From the cocktails and appetizers through the soup, salad, entree, and desserts, Miramar is top-notch!
I am sorry to write this review. I've eaten at Miramar for more than a decade and have always enjoyed the food and service. I ordered salmon, medium, and when it was served to me it was raw inside. They cooked another piece and apologized but that shouldn't have happened in the first place. My husband had scallops and they were overcooked. The wait staff was not attentive, even to refilling hot water for tea. The prices on the menu have increased- and that may just be a sign of the times. We, unfortunately, won't be going back there again.

We stopped in for lunch during a weekday, which does not seem like this restaurant’s mojo. Service and food were delicious, but the lunch menu was pretty heavy and expensive! Don’t know how it does for dinner, but will skip for lunch in the future.

My husband and I got married at Miramar at the end of June this year, and it was nothing short of incredible. We had a very small wedding (30 people) and worked with Phillipe during the planning process. He made our day perfect. He was very easy to get in touch with, quickly responsive, and thoughtful. During our first meeting, my husband and I talked about how much we both love the Lyonnaise salad, but we felt the bistro salad would be the better choice for our guests given a variety of dietary restrictions. On the day of our wedding as salads were being served, Phillipe brought my husband and I Lyonnaise salads, which was such a sweet sentiment. Beyond that, the venue was spectacular and easily customizable. The separate entrance to the private event area is such a nice touch and made the event feel that much more intimate. The private event space also has its own bathrooms and bar. The food was incredible; the ambiance was romantic and warm. I would HIGHLY recommend events/weddings at Miramar without reservation. It was the perfect day, and we could not have imagined it any other way. Thank you, Phillipe! You and your team truly made our wedding an absolute dream. We plan to come to Miramar every anniversary to celebrate!
