"French, the way you remember it -- warm, personal service, menu workhorses beautifully prepared and served, comfortable seating and quiet enough to hear your tablemates without straining. In short, an adult dining experience at a very reasonable price."

"This is an old-time family run, friendly French neighborhood restaurant that is both reliable and excellent. Extremely friendly service with a real team effort. We hadn't been there in a number of years and didn't know why. The food is consistently good and well-prepared with a traditional French menu. We will be back, and with friends!"

"From a simple, fresh salad with dressing with just the right "bite" to the roast duck to the coupe aux marron for dessert, the meal was wonderful. As always the service was attentive but not intrusive, and you can linger over a course if you wish. The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly with great French fare -- exactly the kind of experience I want on a Sunday evening!"

"This was my fist visit to la Mirabelle, and it was a wonderful surprise. Close to home, perfect artichauts vinaigrette, ris de veau and broiled fish. Although we declined, the desserts looked luscious! AND they are actually french-speaking, so I could pretend I remembered my long-lapsed French. It was a lovely dining experience with my adult daughter, who is newly arrived in NYC."

"We had dinner at La Mirabelle after seeing a Broadway Show. It is a bit more relaxing to have dinner outside the busy, noisy theater district. We were a party of four and were seated in the upstairs area of the restaurant. As we had reservations we were seated promptly and quickly attended to by the wait staff. We did briefly meet an owner, a nice enough lady who only said she was an owner when asked. She was either not interested in meeting us or was too busy.
The food was outstanding, two of the party had menu items that were new to us and enjoyed them greatly. The wait staff was excellent, they were highly attentive without being overbearing.
We will visit this restaurant again and highly recommend it to others."

"La Mirabelle is a great local spot here on the UWS. On the surface, it looks like a random european hole in the wall. But its not a detraction at all, rather, it gives it a cozy, homey kind of charm. Food was excellent."

"The menu is classic French and everything was well prepared. We had the duck confit, monkfish in lobster sauce, a good St Emillion by the glass, and an apple crepe with ice cream for dessert. Wonderful. The staff are welcoming and efficient, many French speakers and waitresses who sing on occasion. In that sense it's great fun. The decor is a bit dowdy and the crowd is half elderly and half very young, a funny mix. Perhaps dimming the lights would help even things out?"
