    Lovely dinner at Miramar yet again. This place has attentive service, incredible dining ambiance and tasty food. The soft candle lighting and quiet music makes this place great to celebrate occassions, go on date night or just eat casually. We ordered the mushroom soup, endive salad and calamari to share. Portions are great and food is high quality. Could not reccomend this place more.

    The service here is professional and excellent. The food was perfectly prepared. I had a steak with blue cheese cooked perfectly to medium rare. It’s not a quiet restaurant, but it’s not loud either. The noise level perfectly suits the restaurant’s theme.

    Have been going to Miramar for over a decade. . .it’s always great but we went as a foursome and everyone was blown away with all aspects of the meal and service. Started with some absolutely beautiful shellfish with some Sauv Blanc. Lyonnaise salad followed by a petite filet that wife and I split. Daughter had the Mac and cheese and her boyfriend had the Duck L’Orange. . . All plates were prepared to perfection. . . We brought a couple bottles of our own wine and happily paid the corkage. this place is at the top of its game (not that it has ever disappointed). Boyfriend actually picked up the tab too, so wife and I couldn’t have had a better night! Great job Miramar!

    This restaurant is certainly not what it was even a few years ago. Service is poor and that's being nice. Drinks are not good and the restaurant in general is worn down entire need of a facelift. Impossible to get help to the table and possible to order food and the food in general was mediocre at best. Won't be going back anytime soon

    I just love love love Miramar. The service is always impeccable, and the steak frites au poivre may have been the best I have ever had. In my life. Love the artichoke. Love the atmosphere, my white burgundy in the “carafe”, everything. One of my favorite restaurants.

    This was a party I was hosting. When we arrived they asked if they would like our appetizers to come out right away, as someone had called them in and ordered. I assumed the person had also paid for them. Later we asked for the persons name that sent the appetizers to thank them and they said they were not paid for. We truly feel this was a way to increase our bill. This was unethical!! I will not plan a another party at Miramar.

    Miramar is an excellent restaurant which caters to a varied clientele. The cuisine is delicious, nicely presented, and of high quality. Service is attentive, efficient, and friendly. We especially enjoy the seafood. At peak times the restaurant can be very busy and quite noisy, but the quality of the food and staff outweigh that aspect. We recommend it highly.
