I took my husband here for his first time. As usual, Miramar did not disappoint. We had the sweetest little bistro table in the corner of the booth and definitely made our date night more romantic. We shared the cheese plate, two carafes our favorite Malbec and we both had the roasted salmon. We finished with the crème brule and cappuccinos. The one server even helped my husband put on his vest as we were leaving. You simply don't find places anymore that "check all the boxes. Miramar checks all the boxes and then some!! Can't wait to return!!

We always love to be at Miramar. Cozy and quaint, you feel as if you are at a Bistro in Paris, beginning with the French music which you hear outside. The menu is not too extensive but it has something for everyone and the food is always good. The duck confit is out of this world. Excellent service. If you're lucky you get to see how they add a candle to the enormous dripping holders some which are at least two feet high. Amazing.

Duck was very good

Always quality food and service. There's a couple of dishes on the slightly limited menu that haven't "landed" with my palate, but most are just plain awesome. The sauce on the chicken is out of this world. Good wine list. We love this place!

This was a disappointing experience after so many people tried to rave to me about Miramar. The tables are too small for the obnoxiously large candles. Our drinks rum runner and mojito were $15 each in highball glasses and was about 5 sips and done. I almost thought my husbands drink was just pineapple juice, no alcohol. The crab cake appetizer tasted good, but we suspect it might be microwaved due to how hot it was and the steam coming off. It was also covered over a bed of lettuce we had to scrape off. I ordered the scallops which were good, but small portion for the price. My husband ordered the Dover sole and said it was good, but they gave an extremely unnecessary amount of green beans. The staff was irritating me as they were talking directly over us very loudly the entire time we ate. Our bill was $130+ and it should of been no more than $85 MAX which is still more than what I think it’s worth. I won’t be back.

Miramar offers a casual French dining experience with great food and a relaxed vibe. The fried calamari and goat cheese beet salad were both excellent, and the service was attentive. It’s more of a neighborhood bistro than a fancy French spot, perfect for a comfortable meal with quality food.

As a black person, I felt extremely uncomfortable and unwelcomed. The employees stared me down the moment I walked in. I ordered a drink and then walked to the bathroom. Some worker posted by the bathroom asked if he could help me find something. I told him I was going to the restroom, and he asked if I had a reservation. I told him I had ordered a drink and walked into restroom. God forbid I come to an establishment and want to wash my hands before indulging. Latinos claimed they can’t be racist because they are also minorities, but today I was reminded that is not at all true. Tipped the bartender anyway because I’m always going to do right regardless of how I’m treated.

I highly recommend the sea scallops with oyster mushrooms. The entree came with four plum sea scallops that were fresh and perfectly cooked. It was light and satisfying. I'm looking forward to checking out other items on their menu.

Burger looked great but was tasteless. Froes/chips average at best. Duck confit salad delicious when the duck was mixed into the salad

The meal was average. Server was MIA. Unfortunately, inflation has affected the menu. Chicken adds $12 to a salad. Steak Frites was meh. Salads lacked any flavor, shorted on grated cheese and dressing. Not the worst, but things have become mediocre. It's probably off our list after 20+ years...
