Cuisine - French
The humble town of St. James contains an impressive smattering of quaint restaurants, steakhouses and bistros, and Mirabelle certainly fits the bill. Gathering influence from charming surroundings, the small French restaurant is cozy and relaxing, and though it is often crowded, dining remains refined and intimate. The warm décor sets a tranquil mood, a perfect setting for a truly wonderful meal that manages to capture the subtle essence of romance in Paris. Mirabelle has been welcoming diners since 1983, and has remained a strong contender for one Long Island’s best restaurants. Professional chefs offer artistry on a plate, in the form of such fine dishes as star anise and pineapple braised beef short rib and Cedar River farm shell steak, and organic egg in cocotte, truffle, and foie gras. This is French gourmet dining at its finest. Be sure to inquire about Mirabelle’s cooking classes, and learn how to serve up a romantic gourmet meal in your own home.
