    Those steak frites were yummy! And as always the salade nicoise was delicious. I had the Dover sole and honestly, it was just ok. . . it wasn't this really wonderfully fresh tasty Dover Sole. . . I know it's one the signature dishes, but it wasn't out of this world. . I probably wouldn't order it again. My husband had some and he felt the same way about it. . meh. . . Our waiter Sebastion was absolutely wonderful though. . top notch guy who was very helpful. Marimar is really just about my most favorite local restaurant, with so many fabulous menu items, it's always hard to decide what to order! That french onion soup! The pasta on special also looked fabulous. . the soft shell crab looked amazing. . .I'd always order the fois gras which I think is the best! Better than the one I had at Obelisk in the city!

    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!!
