Warm staff. simple but well-executed country French cuisine.

by asommelier

A friend introduced my husband and I to this place and I've always had consistently good food and service here. They even sold me on the pate which is delicious( I am not usually very fond of pate). The wine list is very good as well. It is a great warm, relaxed and informal place to take family and friends. The restaurant is good for large groups as they have upstairs seating.

• Pros: Tasty Cuisine and great service

The real french cuisine

by henryg44

This place is very low key, I have walked by it countless times without noticing it, but once you eat there that all changes- you remember the place for good.

This is a real french place where the staff is French. The food is excellent and the wine selection even greater. The price is very right for what you get.

The ambiance is quite unique and the place gets crowded earlier, because of the elderly clientel that attends the restaurant. Everyone has a place in the restaurant and you can find seeting just right for you.

• Pros: food and wine, service, authenticity

Very french...

by punky21

The food at La Mirabelle is excellent but the atmosphere made me uncomfortable. It is a bit stuffy and pretentious. Many of the diners were very formally dressed, while the restaurant looks and feels like someone's extra-large living room. The waitress took forever to bring us our cheque...

For those who like this scene, go ahead. Otherwise, don't bother.

a waste of time and money

by blitman

visiting this establishment on a sunday night - maybe it was the chefs night off starters mediocre salad and overcooked chicken livers followed by beef borgigenon that tasted out of a tin topped with peas and onions and monkfish made of rubber and tasteless desserts that were preprapared from the

freezer.

If this is the best they can do dont bother

• Pros: fast service
• Cons: inedible food

Great place

by robomanic23

This is a GREAT place and I can't believe I didn't come to Mirabelle sooner. The food is to die for. I would not say that all their dishes are perfect but the lambshanks and mussels marinere come close to perfection.

• Pros: Great wine list, Smart & friendly staf, Lambshanks!

Fantastic French on the Upper West

by WilliamVance

To say it simply: the food was excellent, the atmosphere was elegant but not overly formal, the service was prompt and friendly, and the price was reasonable. I look forward to returning, as do my three friends.

Paris on the West Side

by kwiggsny

I've been a resident of the West Side for 22 years and had always heard rumors of great French food at Mirabelle. Wow! Talk about a best kept secret...this place is great! Just like the hundreds of little family-run places I know in Paris. Excellent, authentic, simple, charming, warm and welcoming are just a few of the words I can think of that describe this restaurant. My partner and I had the pate de campagne and escargot to start, loin of lamb and calves liver, followed by creme caramel and crepes for dessert. Consistently delicious. With a half-bottle of excellent burgundy, the bill came to $103. Prompt and courteous service. Don't expect fancy decor or complex food. Babies and little old folks are an integral part of the clientele...how very French!

• Pros: food, service, location
