Classic American fare with neighborhood charm and coastal ease
"Following the openings of Parlour last year and noodle bar Shiki in June, Jester Concepts is back with a third restaurant in the same Downtown Excelsior building. Mirabelle offers traditional American fare such as prime rib, roasted chicken, and grilled salmon to go along with rotating specials like meatloaf and fried chicken. Cocktails also lean toward riffs on classics, including a negroni with root beer bitters. There’s patio seating on Water Street as well." - Jeffy Mai
"An ornate French fixture a few blocks away and an instant potential competitor to La Bise, Mirabelle is a four-year-old restaurant that went dark during the early days of the pandemic and is now rebranding into an Italian restaurant with a new name and a TBA opening date." - Tierney Plumb
"When Ruta opened Mirabelle to rave reviews in 2017, his tenure there lasted about a year before he was fired amid owner Hakan Ilhan’s claims of cost overruns; Ilhan later served Ruta with a noncompete lawsuit in September." - Gabe Hiatt
"A two-year-old French sister spot to the new Georgetown brasserie, Mirabelle shares some overlap with Liberté on wines but will be very different in look; it was also closed and re-opened last year with a completely revamped menu under new chef Keith Bombaugh, who previously worked at Boston Harbor Hotel’s Meritage." - Tierney Plumb
"Opened to rave reviews in 2017, Mirabelle was where Frank Ruta and pastry chef partner Aggie Chin worked until they left last summer amid a staffing shake-up that led the restaurant to close and re-open under a different chef, Keith Bombaugh." - Tierney Plumb
