Reviews of La Mirabelle (Restaurant)

Odile DE LYROT

Had dinner last night with three friends and the four of us thoroughly enjoyed every minute spent at La Mirabelle. The decor is lovely, the personnel charming, efficient and accommodating, the food completely delicious and you can entertain a conversation without having to scream or use sign language ! A quite delightful evening and many more to come ! I very highly recommend this lovely French restaurant, Odile

Straight-up French fare served with comfort and style. Very popular with locals. If you are lucky, you might also get to hear the owner sing French songs--she has an amazing voice.

Joanne Jahr

The medium rare calf's liver sauté with shallots, raspberry vinegar and onions is one dish I keep returning for. The service is lovely; nice wine list; excellent desserts. What could be bad?

Eric Villafane

All the dishes are Great!!!

Donna Tafro

A great happy place to eat a delicious meal & have a glass of wine!

David Cowburn

Not up to the standard of prep or service for this price

Marilyn Jaffe-Ruiz

La Mirabelle is our most favorite restaurant in New York. The owners are lovely, the food is consistently of high quality, served hot and attractively, and delicious. Staff is very friendly and helpful. We go to La Mirabelle whenever we can but especially when we need nurturing or are celebrating a special occasion. And yes, you can have a conversation and hear!

Gerard McCaffery

Great French food and Danielle who will sing for you!

Darienne Dennis

Homey, yet 5-star provincial French, run by a beloved family. I hesitate to write anything for fear of losing my table!! Menu is discrete and varied. Everything delicious!! .

Doug Anderson

The charm of an older French restaurant on the UWS was not lost on us as we visited with old friends who introduced us to La Mirabelle. We sat upstairs overlooking the main dining room and it was a perfect place to eat and talk and spend 2 1/2 hours (our choice to keep it slow). We could talk with each other and hear each other and we weren't right up next to anyone. Our server was a delight. Dinner was terrific. We will be back

One of my neighborhood favorites. I've eaten here about four times including a brunch and each time it was a very pleasurable dining experience. Authentic french from the food to the employees.

Brianna Alfonzo

Artem Ipatev

I think it's legitimately the best old school French cuisine in New York City. Duck, lamb, onion soup, snails are excellent!!! Wine is so delicious and unbelievable cheap! Service is so great! Love the place, highly recommend if you wanna try real French food:)

My Hands down the best French cuisine in NYC

Miles Lindahl

Were we the youngest people in the restaurant by 30 years? Yes. Did it matter? No! Look, this isn't an "impress your date" type of place, but for *authentic*, traditional French cuisine, I don't know that I've had better in the city. The escargot and the venison were particular standouts.

Jose Mendoza

Service was friendly. Food was okay at best and did not justify its price.

Kenneth Sherrill

Very good traditional French cooking. Wonderfully warm.

Manuel Gonzalez

Great old fashion French food in a quite old fashion setting. Friendly staff. The crowd tends to be on the older side.

Danny Hults

Cozy, family owned restaurant. The roasted duck was amazing! Really enjoyed it. It feels like your grandma's house inside.

CLEONIS GOLDING

La Mirabelle has excellent authentic French food and wonderful service. It was particularly enjoyable to be treated by a Physician Friend who has been a loyal customer since its opening in 1984. It was fun, as a Francophile for decades, to all join in singing La Marseillaise the day after Bastille Day, led by a member of the Restaurant staff

James O'leary

Like dining in a French village with friends and the family owners. This place it so authentic you can close your eyes and feel just like an "American in Paris". It's all about the food and the sincere, no frills (excellent) service.

Susan Brody

Excellent veal stew. Repeat customer again and again. Superb entrees

Tom Bohley

A great little French restaurant. Nowhere near pretentious, this place does straight-forward, French food, and does it better than any other French restaurant in the city. Down-to-earth, charming, delicious... these are all words that come to mind.

Joan Conlon

Friendly service.Very welcoming.Cheerful decor.Excellent food .Very authentic regional French cuisine.I have one friend who won't go anywhere else.

La Mirabelle is a very enjoyable French restaurant. My wife and I were definitely the youngest people in the joint beyond some of the waiters, and the decor seemed to be stuck in the ‘80s- in a good way. Wood paneling, paintings on the wall (apparently done by a woman who works at the restaurant), and a second half-floor that overlooks the main ground floor of the restaurant all made for a good time. The food itself was solidly good, though not the best French food I’ve ever had. My steak was a little gristly but nothing I couldn’t overlook. The scallops however were amazing. Service was also very friendly, and we were told, family-fun. Lastly, a woman (the same woman who paints all the pictures on the walls) sang happy birthday solo to my wife. She sang in her French accent. It was amazing and sounded like an old fashioned recording of a French singer.

Awesome! If you want real, French country dining, WITHOUT the pomp and hefty price tag of the trendy, Celebrity-centric, midtown expense account, snobishness? Then this is a place for you. Tell them "The Boys from Philly" sent you and ask for Daniele to take care of you. You will not be disappointed!

M Glanville

My husband and I have been dining at La Mirabelle for more than 15 years. We love the food, the paintings on the walls, the attentive (but never overbearing) service, the wine list and the fact that you can actually have a conversation without going hoarse. It's a busy place, but we never feel rushed. In fact, we are treated like family, even though we have no ties to the owners!

Bill

Top notch service, excellent food and pleasant ambience. A gem

mari hendricks

Excellent menu, delicioys salads.

Xavier Noel

Always very good... thank you !!!

David Brooks

Great place for fish

Vanessa Casamatta

My husband and I went to La Mirabelle last night for my birthday dinner. The food was average, but the service was extremely slow. We had I believe the only male waiter on staff last night and once we received our menus he would not ask us what we would like to eat until thirty minutes later. My husband even asked for a second glass of wine and he never received it. After our dinner, we received the dessert menu, and of course again the waiter never came back to our table to ask us what we would like. We would have liked to have ordered dessert, but after another almost twenty minutes of waiting, we asked another waitress to just give us our check. I will not return to this restaurant again. Bad experience.

La Mirabelle is an unknown French Bistro in the UWS. This bistro is very authentic and good! I've had their: Escargot - butter, garlic pesto Coquille St. Jacques - mussels, mushroom, scallop with a layer of swiss on top Monk Fish - with lobster & tarrragone sauce (worth passing) Duckling with mirabelle plum sauce (must eat) Try the duck, it's nice and tender!

J. King

Moderately priced, crowded but good service, noisy. Very good French food, decent wine list, Continental ambience.

David Poleshuck

Traditional French food. Excellent chef, ingredients, wine list and wait staff! Have been there regularly. Wrote this review as I made reservations.

nirnie

How lucky we are to know about La Mirabelle! Real food, real host/owners and many returners make for a homey but very French ambiance. The sweetbreads are to die for but so are most of the other items on the menu.French the way you like it!

Angel Fernandez Millan

Regentado por mujeres, este restaurante recoleto, tranquilo y con aspecto de comedor familar francés cierra pronto por las noches y los fines de semana se llena.

Last night our party of 4 dined in La Mirabelle - the special occasion was a birthday and the dinner was memorable. It was an enjoyable evening and the service and food were very good. HOWEVER, unfortunately the night ended with fierce stomach pains followed by a major bout on the commode for 2 of us. We both ate the fettuccine with basil pesto accompanied by "parmesan cheese".

Dom Chambon

Excellent!..best kept secret of a French restaurant...a real pleasure

Rob Cahill

Always, always just what we're seeking.

Gene Chamson

If you're into snooty French restaurants this might be just your spot. The food is tres bon, the service is nonchalant and the ambience is par amour. But when someone at the next table got up and started singing in French, I thought it was a bit much. Also, for some reason, this place seems to be a favorite of the over-70 crowd, so everyone talks loudly.

Neal H. Hurwitz

Excellent and the singing waitress is a doll too! Neal H. Hurwitz NY NY

Hinde Morelli

The food was ok, not worth the cost. The staff was overwhelmed and never even asked us how our food was. I got explosive diarrhea after eating the bland monkfish. Other than that, everyone else enjoyed their food. I have no interest in going back.

AviH

Great food and a song too (sometimes) Try the Soft-shell crabs in season And Endive salad

Peter DeFabritus

Excellent food and service

Zubair Holloway

We ended up here because we spent an extra night in New York due to the weather, and were tired of Italian. What a great place. The food was fantastic, wine recommendations spot on, and the desserts were great too. We had the veal ragout, chicken cordon bleu, and fusilli with vegetables. All was delicious. Highly recommended!

João Cardoso

Romantic and delicious

Charles Denholm

Old style French food, older crowd. Getting expensive as rents rise. Must order main dish or two appetizers to dine here.

My family and I LOVE Aperitif and have been eating there every since it opened! We have been to multiple dinners, lunches, brunches, etc. They used to serve a lamb shank over risotto that was AMAZING, but they (sadly) took it off the menu (I'm DYING for it to come back, so if anyone of importance is listening..pretty please?) But anyway, today was my dad's birthday so we decided to go for brunch. It was surprisingly empty, usually reservations are needed. The restaurant is nice, clean, and modern and always plays good music (kudos to whoever is picking the Pandora station!) The waitstaff is very friendly and accommodating. We had Bellini's and they are the best! The waitress explained that they use a peach liquor, instead of peach nectar, and it actually tastes much better. I had the seafood salad today, and it's really fresh and delicious. My parents had omelettes and eggs benedict, and my brother ate the "croque mosier" and all were delicious! All the plates were (figuratively) licked clean, Aperitif is a great place!

Lisa Wanderman

This solid, family run French restaurant never disappoints. Nothing flashy, just very good, we'll cooked food and gracious, friendly service.

Gary MacDougal
