   Overall, the experience was good. The food was good, cooked to order and hot when it came out of the kitchen. The waitstaff was very good and attentive, as was the host and chef. The food took awhile to come out of the kitchen, but it was stated on the menu that the experience would be more authentic Italian, fresh and made to order, therefore expect a 2 hour seating. They did space the courses out so you weren't sitting idly by. I thought it was a little pricey for dinner for 2; $183 with tip for a shared appetizer, salad (which was included), 2 entrees and 2 glasses of wine each ($11 each). So, even if you take the liquor off it was still $139 with tip.

   I like to eat at restaurants that offer culinary experiences that I cannot recreate at home. The homemade pasta is tender and only made better by the variety of sauces and compliments they are served with each entree. The owner and staff are very attentive. The noise level is a bit high as the tables fill, but it’s worth the visit to dine here.

   Walked in at 6:30 sat down and asked to be moved outside due to noise level. Sat down outside, no one came to bring us water of greet us……nothing. Waitress came out numerous times for another table but never acknowledged us. 15 minutes later, still no wait staff attention, we decided to sit at bar where we would get served by a bartender. Chelsea the bartender served us drinks and 20 minutes later we placed a food order with her. 40 minutes after food order was placed nothing. Not even a salad. How time consuming is a salad to make. Finally gave up placed $40 cash on the bar and walked out with bartender apologizing. Manager followed us out and when I said to him “ you obviously have server issues”, he said that it was our fault because we switched tables. WTF? We were then informed that we only ordered our food 40 minutes ago. Ok it’s not fast food but 40 minutes and no salad ??. We walked away in disbelief that we were to blame. Manager Danny needs lessons in customer service. In all we walked out at 8 PM 90 minutes after arriving. Danny did call us on our way home to sort of apologize and ask us to give them another try. We picked up a pizza on the way home and called it a night

   Have been to Miramare numerous time, have always found the food to be outstanding. Last night I enjoyed the crab linguine and my wife the eggplant parmigiana, both very satisfying. But we have noticed 2 consistent negatives, it has been cold enough inside for us (and many of the other patrons) to keep our outside coats on during dinner. Most egregious however, and again consistent over several visits, is the challenging noise level. We were sitting in the smaller back wing at the couples tables, all of us struggled to communicate with our partners, and the wait staff, too. I mentioned it to the manager, he ultimately had the owner come out and ask the front crowd to tone it down, but that had minimal impact within a minute or two. The guilty parties appeared to be the 2 large tables, perhaps groups of 10 and 12 are just not appropriate for that sized venue. The noise level dampens the enjoyment and significantly negates the option of a romantic dinner despite the otherwise pleasant setting, outstanding culinary offerings and usually excellent service we have found at Miramare.

   Dinner was very underwhelming. Service was extremely SLOW. Bread was good, salad took forever to arrive. Entrees were overpriced and very bland. We expected much more. Would not go back.
