We love the onion soup, the oysters, the nicoise salade, the steak frites. . so many items! oh, the mussels are really good too. I have to say the Dover sole is nowhere near the one I had north of Amsterdam on the North Sea. . I don't even know if it is really Dover Sole. . . I wouldn't order it again. But I would try the scallops. . they looked very good. . and I definitely would order the steak frites. I also like that the restaurant is not overly loud like many of the current restaurants. . Longitude315 is so very loud and unpleasant for older people. The drinks are not as good or as varied as other restaurants. . and the wine pours are certainly smaller than most other restaurants we've been to. . not nearly as generous. . but still, I would rank it as the best in Highwood.. . . really a very nice choice. Also, the servers were always there for us. . they shared the tables so anyone passing by could be flagged to help as needed. I'm a big fan of Miramar! Highly recommended!

No regular bartender resulted in limited cocktail options (our waiter made or drinks) so I was not able to order a Vieux Carré or a Sazerac. Still, we had a lovely time. Menu provided great apps and small plates and you could build a full dinner that way, which some at the table next to us did. Excellent steak frites, skate wing and a good wine list.
