    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.
