If you're into giant American style portions of food, this is not your place. If quality over quantity with an appreciation for fine European style cuisine floats your boat, then come to Mirabelle. Master Chef Daniel Joly who trained in Michelin starred restraints in Brussels and his wife run the show, and have done so for over two decades.
A four course tasting menu is available for only $90, with any of the special items also available a la carte. We choose to create our own six course tasting menu combining some of the regular menu items with some specials from the tasting menu and having them split so we could enjoy all six items each.
There is a good size wine list with a special emphasis on France but good representation from California as well, including labels like DuMol, Peter Michael, Phelps, Caymus, Plumpjack, Hundred Acre, Lewis and Aubert to name a few. About 12 wines are offered by the glass ranging from $11-29, with some half bottles and about 12 choices for bubbles.
We started with a Crudo special, then the Lobster Salad, Beef, Lamb, Sole and ended with a special dessert with fresh peach, strawberries and mint. Everything was outstanding, even the smallest accompaniments to every dish like the baby grilled artichokes sung. We washed everything done with a bottle of Turley Zin, which always hits the spot for us.
If you have to choose between Grouse Mountain Inn and Mirbabelle, choose Mirabelle. Grouse has a spectacular view but the food at Mirabelle is in a different league.
