We've been here a few times now and have had similar experiences each time, no matter brunch, lunch, or dinner. Mediocre to bad service and mediocre food other than lunch.
First time we came on a weeknight for a date night dinner. There were only a handful of tables occupied, unfortunately one of which was occupied by the waiter's boyfriend. Not only did our waiter not recall the special correctly, as we overheard her saying the correct one a few minutes later, but she would frequently go over and visit with her friend while we were waiting on beverage refills. We ordered duck and the lamb with pork gyoza as suggested by her as an appetizer. The Gyoza was quite good, decent portion. Duck was okay, a bit dry somehow, but decent flavor and texture. The lamb was hilariously over seasoned and sauced completely ruined the meat. Both of our entrees came out luke warm as well. It is sad when the side veg of asparagus seems to be the highlight of the meal. Well, we had heard mixed reviews on dinner so decided to try lunch and brunch. Equally if not more disappointing. Our waiter was friendly and quick, but immediately took a sour turn when we requested a modification to my lunch. After that, basically no service, no follow up, and apparently had no interest in collecting money as we had to track him down to settle our bill. Thankfully the busser kept an eye on us and our beverages. That waiter shouldn't be working the tables if he takes offense to a change to our order to the point that he ghosts us the rest of our meal. Chilaquiles were delicious, but no more so than our local mexican restaurants, yet more expensive with about 1/4-1/3 the portion size, what a joke. Lunch was a similar experience, same waiter who seems friendly at first but immediately turns cold on you with any sort of follow up request. If we come again, we'll have to request someone else. Thankfully the lunch food is quite good as we had heard. Calamari and chips are great, nice light breading, not greasy, good crunch and tender calamari. Burger was cooked perfectly with a bit of pink in the middle. Lunch is the way to go, but it is a shame that this was supposed to be our nice restaurant in Baywood and they can't execute good service or food the rest of the day. That on top of the news of them being shut down for an infestation doesn't surprise me since this place seems poorly managed. We'll probably give it another shot to support local, but its hard to consider after all of the negatives we've...
Read moreMirazur in Los Osos is a true culinary gem, offering a dining experience that goes beyond expectations. Nestled in a tranquil garden setting near the ocean, it provides a refined yet welcoming atmosphere. The chefs and staff create deep connections with guests, ensuring every meal is a journey of flavor and artistry. The service is friendly attentive and knowledgeable, enhancing the overall experience without being intrusive. Michael, Miguelito, as we fondly call him, is truly special, kind, and gentle person who guided us every step of the way to a great experience.
Brunch was a delight—from crispy chicken and waffles to the Mirazur special, featuring perfectly Jammy eggs with a vibrant medley of seasoned potatoes, chorizo, sweet corn, feta, and fresh tomatoes. A playful "war of the soups" between the chef and sous chef brought forth exceptional tasting cups of mushroom and split pea soups, each a masterpiece of balance and depth.
Our visit was so incredibly enjoyable, and the connection was so strong it naturally flowed into an invitation to dinner.
Dinner was no less spectacular. My husband indulged in a bacon-wrapped sirloin steak, crowned with fresh burrata, paired with creamy mashed potatoes and caramelized baby carrots. I opted for the expertly grilled pork chop, boasting a caramelized crust and juicy interior, complemented by romesco sauce, creamy polenta, and crisp brussels sprouts.
Mirazur isn’t just a restaurant—it’s an immersion into a of fresh, seasonal, and beautifully crafted food. A must-visit on the Central Coast, leaving you with a memory that lingers long after the last bite. Thank you, Chef Ish, Miguelito, and Sous Chef Neri, for an...
Read moreDinner @ Mirazur was spectacular. It was a busy night and the staff, led by Alejandro, did an extraordinary job at accommodating us. For the night of Valentines, all tables had a rose-in-vase centerpiece and the vibes inside were nearly perfect.
We sat inside, but the outside areas held heaters, fireplaces, and more than enough room to be seated comfortably.
During dinner, we went with their two specials; shrimp and mushroom soup + the ribeye dinner. We asked them to bring out the soup with a side of bread service as a starter and the two complemented each other so well. The flavor profiles were rich, flavorful, and above all...FRESH. I could say the same thing about the CRUDO, which we also got as an opener. Yellowtail with a hint of aji amarillo; bright and vibrant flavors, and again.... FRESH.
The ribeye was off the charts and paired extremely well with a couple glasses of their red; Daou's Cabernet and Center of Effort's Pinot were both top of the line, and not to mention, sourced from premium local vineyards in SLO County.
Their cocktail selection was amazing too, and they allowed us to add meat to the wild mushroom risotto, which was also delicious. To top the night off, we finished with a pistachio creme brulee that was again... 10/10.
We cannot wait to come back for their brunch service as well as their happy hour!
Thank you to Alejandro and the Mirazur team for a...
