My daughter's and mother in law went Mira Mare for dinner. We have dined here for many years and the food is excellent. The owner accused my daughter's, with no evidence of pealing the paint off the back of the toilet door. I found this totally unjustified. I called the owner to explain that it was not them. Unfortunately he did not accept this and said they were not welcome to dine here anymore. I would always recommended people to dine there as the food is good, but after this unjustified incident I won't be back. This is extremely disappointing behaviour from the owner.

Brilliant place, from the warm welcome, to the top quality and tasty food, to the cheerio at the door. Cant recommend Mira Mare enough. We went twice, while on holiday in Helensburgh. If your in the area, please remember to book as it is Small but perfect in every way. Thanks team Mira Mare!

Ate here tonight with my mum. Food was amazing. I had risotto primavera, arborio rice with roasted vegetables and my mum had the calzone padrina which was stuffed with ground beef, pepperoni , onions, chilli, rice and cheese. We also shared a garlic focaccia which was cooked perfectly, light and crispy with plenty garlic on top. My mum had a panacotta for dessert and she said it was beautiful. This will definitely be our new favourite place when we stay at our caravan. Can't wait to try more of the menu. They also had a specials board with a good selection of specials. We had 2 soft drinks and the bill came to £43.40 which I think was excellent value for money as the portions were definitely not an average size. Thank you to the lovely wee waitress who served us with a smile and knew the menu inside out without having to ask chef about dishes. Great addition to your staff. Definitely be back soon

Longest standing Italian in town and easy to see why. Excellent halloumi starter. Wonderful light foccacia. Very good pasta dishes. Wine by carafe so couple can have different. Just don't be in a rush as kitchen also serves busy carry outs but why would you want to hurry.

I was disappointed with my experience at this restaurant. I tried the lobster ravioli based on a recommendation from another review, but found it to be quite forgettable. My partner ordered the beef stroganoff, which was a strange dish and seemed to have the same sauce as my ravioli. The pizzas were excellent, possibly better than Padrone, but we will likely go there in the future. The service was good, with only one waiter serving 3 or 4 tables, but it was odd that a couple of customers were turned away at 8:30pm on a Saturday night during the summer. Despite being locals and hoping to make this a regular dining option, we were also turned away around 8pm one weekend evening. It seems that the restaurant doesn't need the business.
