Miramar Bistro - HIGHWOOD

A terrific French bistro in HighwoodMy daughter started with blue point oystersI had the onion soup which had a nice rich flavorPerfectly made.

Meh! For starters, I had made reservations weeks ahead for a friend's BirthdayUpon arrival- you guessed it! No reservation.

I should start by saying that we had a perfectly decent experience here Service was fine.

This place gives tropical and Cuban vibes, and all artistic cocktails and food vibes. Both exterior and interior decoration are beautiful. Many candle waxes used and also in the display. Mojito was excellent, not too sweet. Free bread and butter was nice bread on the inside soft and had a fragile crust. Ordnete Olives Herb Marinated as an appetizer, then the Cuban Ham cheese sandwich (aka Cubano) with frites. The sandwich was perfectly dimensioned and frits were perfectly crispy and exactly the right size of thin. Had asked for mustard for the sandwich, but was just good without it. Maybe next time. There are also eggs on the bar area that we were told to eat. Maybe next time will try! Get the Onion Soup Gratinée (French onion soup) at the next visit or choose the Lunch Combination (Half Salad, Hald Sandwich, Soup Cup) and have to try the Tiramisu!

Miramar is our go-to French bistro near us in Deerfield. The service is always good the most time. This last time was simply ok service because of a large table near us that seemed to take our servers time, and he had no backup. Food is always good. This time we had some oysters to start, a Lyonnaise salad, and my wife had the roast chicken and I had the skate meat. The skate was only cooked, but still good. Her Lyonnaise salad is one of her most consistent dishes. The egg yolk is runny, and the dressing to Lardon/Crouton ratio was good. I discovered a slight disadvantage in her bar. No full-sized ice cubes, only 1 type of sweet wormwood, and not many opportunities for cocktails. The wine card has a beautiful variety and seemingly fair prices. We will continue to visit this facility:
