Mirabelle Restaurant in Eastbourne

Went for dinner with friends. The food exceptional, we were well looked after by their expert and friendly staff. I look forward to spending future, special occasions there.

Much as we love the hotel, The Mirabelle restaurant is vastly over-priced and no longer delivering value for money. My husband’s starter AND his main dish were both just luke warm. My main meal priced at an astonishing £36 was Iberico pork on mashed potato. I would have been happy but the pork was tough as old boots and because it was so poor, an accompanying sprouting broccoli would have been some compensation but obviously the Mirabelle management now wants to charge extra for such luxuries. My husband did get a price reduction but I suffered in silence. Please! This restaurant needs returning to its previous excellence which has been missing for the last 3-4 years. You cannot justify very high Michelin prices for poorly executed dishes. Either reduce prices, improve by a great deal the culinary offerings or close the restaurant. Unfortunately, I feel hard done by, paying so much for such poor quality.

Disappointing and underwhelming. Had brilliant experience at this restaurant in the past so was very excited. Had the tasting menu with wine 'package' at £120 per head. Dishes not great, apart from the lamb and wines which were delicious! Head waiter not really engaging, maybe he'd had a bad day? There were quite a few empty tables so he wasn't overworked. Service seemed rushed and disjointed. Sommelier arrived with wine for next course before we'd finished the last one. We were there to celebrate our 45th wedding anniversary and will sadly remember the night for the wrong reasons.

Went to The Mirabelle restaurant on Saturday 27th January for my birthday meal and had the tasting menu with accompanying wines. It was amazing ! Lovely tasty food and the accompanying wines were paired so well. We did have an issue but the head waiter dealt with it very well and we were compensated for the error. Lovely waiting and wine staff - could not fault the whole experience.

My name is Sonia Kowlessar and two of my friends went to the Grand hotel for dinner in the Mirrabelle restuarant on the 26th January2024 for 7 30 pm and was so very disappointed with the food as my dish was very salty and too much fat as there were hardly any lamb it was sad my friends had the sea bass dishes The service was great but the food was very disappointing and I did let our waiter know what i think of the meal and showed him the Fat on the lamb he just said he will let the chef know and that was the end of that We were not happy or contended leaving the Restuarant The table was booked for 3 I made the mistake of not taking photos of the meals the table was booked by Mr Organ

We thoroughly enjoyed our excellent lunch today. The staff were all super friendly and efficient and the food was superb. A real treat

The Grand Hotel in Eastbourne is a magnificent building and the staff are always attentive. It is probably the only place where you can get fine dining in Eastbourne and it’s always my go to choice when celebrating for birthdays etc. I went for lunch yesterday with my wife and it was decidedly average. The service was impeccable, but the food was so-so. Portion sizes were very small and seasoning was hit and miss. Some dishes were tasteless. whereas others were very salty. To top things off coffee was sent back because it was lukewarm. I will go back there to eat, but I will be expecting better next time.

Been to this restaurant a few times and every time we have a truly fantastic meal. Both the food and service are terrific. As good as any top London restaurant. Worth a visit - you won’t be disappointed. Highly recommend

There is a new chef Alex with his new team in Mirabelle Restaurant since September 2023. We had a great tasting menu on my wife's birthday. At the end of the night, they gave us special chocolate treats too! A variety of dishes on the tasting menu including seafood, lamb and venison. And obviously, the Grand Hotel is incredibly designed place too!

Excellent Saturday lunch in this delightful restaurant. We had a delicious three course meal which was very fairly priced and had plenty of options on it. I’d highly recommend the restaurant in terms of food and setting in the lovely hotel. The service was also excellent and we felt very well looked after by Ronnie and Adrian. Excellent and we shall be back!

I took my cousins for the special lunch on November 3rd - £25 for two courses, £30 for three and £20 for half a bottle of excellent Rothschild claret. The service was impeccable and the food presentation was a real work of art! The artistically presented starter, which included lime flavoured caviar was delicate and delicious. Both the fish and game main courses were delicious and we all particularly appreciated the home made bread with whipped butter infused with garlic. A most enjoyable and delicious experience, especially the setting, being able to look out on the sea.

Just had the most amazing taster dinner with wine. Food absolutely amazing. Wines were dreamy. The waiters were so good. Real kind people who know what they are doing. More hosts than waiters. Such a lovely place. Not snooty in the least

Perfect lunch at a reasonable price of £30 for 3 courses. A beautiful dining room and attentive staff. I enjoyed celeriac veloute, delicate pan fried local plaice fillet and a gorgeous chocolate and coffee dessert. We are fortunate in Eastbourne to have such a top quality restaurant for special occasions

Very disappointing. Food average. Service so slow. It seemed the customers of the hotel had better service. Time to go elsewhere as a local

Martin and Ronnie provided great service on our Saturday evening dinner experience. The food was lovely and the ambience enjoyable. We could not fault it and will be back next time.

The food was tired and tasteless. To start a Katsu Crab: Crab, which as any good chef knows, is a delicate taste and does not need to be overwhelmed by a sauce containing soy. The crab was also dry and may have been, as claimed hand picked , but not on the day in question. To follow: Cornish Lemon Sole which was very dry and had obviously been prepared many hours previously. The accompanying sauce - Beurre Noisette - was very tiny and not fit for purpose. The ice cream finale was three scoops but from a tea spoon and not enough to amuse the taste buds. The meal was expensive and the restaurant virtually empty - I guess the local community have realised that the chef cuts too many corners and have voted conclusively to stay well clear. John Adams

As ever exceptionally high standards as one has grown accustomed to at the Grand truly outstanding value lunch at 39 pounds for three exquisite gourmet courses , first class in every respect and a hotel and dining experience at Mirabelle’s is one I can heartily...

We had a top quality tasting menu with wine pairing. The food was great and the pairing was perfect. A special mention for Ronnie the sommelier - who went above and beyond. We will return.

We chose this venue as the menu looked interesting, and we were not disappointed. Also the interior of the hotel is magnificent, you can imagine an Agatha Christie mystery set there. We were warmly greeted as we entered the restaurant and were made to feel...

Lovely lunch and excellent service from the Restaurant Manager and the sommelier, Ronnie. Thank you. We will be back!

Not off to a good start the chair broke a leg when first sat down. Overpriced and tiny proportions. Limited menu Very disappointed. Service was good

We dined in the refurbished, now contemporary looking restaurant, and had the tasting menu (£80 pp). Each dish was well prepared but all were under-seasoned, and some were just not very nice. For this price I would expect Michelin star quality, but it was very...

Fine dinning in grand setting but the table waiter had no service skills - You do not stretch your arm across the diners'chests . You do not stack plates . And it is annoying to constantly hear " no worries "

Surprised to see the last time I reviewed the Mirabelle was 4 years ago when I was very unhappy with service and the food. They were undergoing refurbishments at the time. However, although the restaurant is almost back to its previous quality cooking it does...

The last time we came to Mirabelle was a number of years ago but the wonderful attentive service and fantastic food still remains the same. The beautiful restaurant has a lovely atmosphere and has carpet, which allows for a nice atmosphere unlike may modern restaurants...

My wife and I ate at this wonderful restaurant for the pat two nights , whist staying at the Grand Hotel. A fantastic atmosphere, wonderful service and food. Two very pleasant evenings - thank you so much

My partner and I had the Tasting Menu on Friday night. An excellent night from start to finish. Firstly, the decor of restaurant is beautiful and the tables elegantly set. The meal was superb … it’s rare to have a tasting menu when every course...

This was our fourth fine dinning evening of the week and looking at some of the photos I wasn’t very excited about going. However we were pleasantly surprised and impressed with the food. We had the seven course tasting menu which we enjoyed all the...

We have eaten at the Mirabelle on several occasions and are never disappounted. The food is excellent, flavours, textures and colours compliment each other wonderfully and have been a joy at each visit. The Hotel Manager is really the icing on the cake of The...

We went for my wife’s birthday (a party of 4). Food was good but service was dreadful . I would have been disappointed by the level of “service” in a mcDonalds never mind a 5 star hotel. Initial drinks in the bar took 20 minutes...

An elegant dining room with a panoramic view of the seafront. A Victorian influence to the décor. The wait staff were particularly attentive and friendly. Most impressive was that the bar was able to supply an apres meal digestif of a glass of Chartreuse Vert,...

From start to finish an absolutely amazing evening. The service is faultless and the attentiveness brilliant. My thanks to all staff for a wonderful evening. The pianist in the restaurant is so lovely and plays beautifully. The food is excellent fine dining with a great modern twist. The flavours within are brilliant and complementary. Will definitely return.

Exceptional, the best tasting menu I’ve ever had ! Great food and service, not cheap but well within what you would pay in london restaurants

We ate in this restaurant a couple of times recently. It is a very comfortable restaurant with modern decor. On a Saturday night visit we were treated to a pianist which added to the atmosphere. Service is attentive and friendly. The food is of a high standard and we weren't disappointed with any of the dishes we tried apart from the coffee we had which was weak and watery and served in a pot for 1 at £12! The wine list is very extensive but as we drink very little we only had a glass and a very nice port after the meal.

Haven’t been to the Mirabelle for a while and so pleased we did - lunch was exquisite. Delicious and beautifully presented with excellent service. Followed by cocktails in the garden served by the helpful and charming Chante. What a wonderful day out with our friends

We enjoyed The Mirabelle last year and returned on our recent stay. There is the option of a tasting menu or A La Carte and we enjoyed the latter selecting two lovely starters and a chocolate desert to share. Elegant surroundings and very friendly service from Benjamin and his team.We are retiurning on our next visit to The Grand in August.

We had the taster menu and wine flight. Each dish was 'food entertainment' and a very enjoyable experience. The accompanying wines perfectly suited each dish. The service was exceptional with friendly staff. A great birthday treat in a beautiful setting overlooking the Hotel garden.

Booked the Mirabelle restaurant at the Grand Eastbourne for our wedding anniversary and we were very glad we did. The Dining room has been freshened up but still maintains its Victorian grandeur with high ceilings, chandeliers and lovely furnishings. We were pleased to see an a la carte menu alongside a tasting menu and we decided to choose from the former. Every course was excellent; tasty, beautifully presented and accomplished. The service was friendly, unhurried, attentive and professional. Couldn't fault it. The Sommelier knew his stuff and has put together a really diverse wine list. We enjoyed a glass of English Sparkling wine from nearby Rathfinney but other Sussex vineyards, Ridgeview & Nyetimber were also listed. We followed the Sommeliers recommendations for a glass of still wine each and were really impressed with his choices. There was a great atmosphere in the restaurant, we spoke with diners from three other tables as they were leaving, they had clearly enjoyed themselves too. Next time we visit Eastbourne our choice of restaurant is a no brainer. That said, if the team at the Mirabelle can maintain these standards, the word is going to get out and we might find it very difficult to get a table !

Nice decor and friendly staff, but perhaps a little stuffy for our liking , but that is in keeping with the style of the hotel. Food was great , with a good choice on the menu. Staff were very knowledgeable and helpful too.

Buen ambiente, sin embargo, la comida está "bien". Comparándolo con restaurantes de estándares similares de alta cocina, tengo que decir que se queda corto.Debo decir que el servicio es bueno y el ambiente es increíble, así que debo dar buenas estrellas por eso, solo que la comida podría haber sido de mejor nivel en mi opinión.

We opted for the taster menu with wine flight choices. The variety, quality and care of the presented food was first class. The staff were friendly and helpful. A recommended experience.

Si recibe un vale para comer aquí, tenga en cuenta. Dijeron que el nuestro valía 92 para dos personas, tres platos. ¡Pero para 92, la elección de alimentos es muy limitada! Solo dos opciones de entrantes y un postre. La mayoría de los artículos requieren un suplemento adicional. (Fotos aquí). El servicio no fue el esperado. El vino estaba oxidado. Un shock en sí mismo. Se cobró el reemplazo. No es un tratamiento de cinco estrellas. Cargo por servicio sobre el valor nominal del bono y, por supuesto, sobre los extras. La comida estuvo excelente. Pero en general, no es una experiencia para recomendar.

Tenemos que estar de acuerdo con la publicación de Artsman, ver agosto de 2020. La comida era muy pobre, mi comida principal era totalmente blanca, ¡sin color alguno! el servicio también fue indiferente y tuvimos que servir nuestro propio vino. llevamos a dos invitados con nosotros para una ocasión especial de cumpleaños y quedamos muy decepcionados por la falta de calidad de la comida. los entrantes eran indiferentes, los platos principales pequeños y caros y los postres, insípidos. ¿Quién diablos contrató a este chef y por qué? ¿No se supervisa su trabajo? ? La factura era de más de 400, ¡más que una comida equivalente en Claridges! (que siempre es excelente). no volveremos aquí de nuevo. tener cuidado.

En nuestra última noche en el Grand Hotel cenamos en su elegante establecimiento, el Mirabelle. Aunque la decoración no era del todo de nuestro gusto, había una atmósfera de calma y un ambiente agradable en el comedor lleno que es ciertamente lujoso.Hay un menú de degustación de seis platos en 78, pero como habíamos comprado nuestro propio vino (el descorche no es irrazonable) no funcionó para nosotros, así que elegimos de la carta, que tiene cinco opciones en cada etapa.También miramos la lista de vinos que pensamos que era excelente y todas las cosas consideradas de valor razonable también: el sommelier está en el botón y tiene algunas buenas ideas.Los entrantes fueron Cornish Crab y Sussex Mackerel, ambos muy bien presentados y muy sabrosos; platos principales de solla de la costa sur con mantequilla y el "fish du jour" (besugo) eran excelentes y compartimos un milhojas de fresa para el postre.El servicio fue excelente en todos los aspectos, un poco formal, pero sin duda es un establecimiento elegante.Pensamos que fue una cena excelente y (ver informe separado) mucho mejor relación calidad-precio que el restaurante Garden. Seguramente querremos volver.En la actualidad esto está infravalorado, somos comensales habituales y hemos visitado varios restaurantes de una estrella Michelin que no son tan buenos como el Mirabelle.

¿Qué quieres de un buen restaurante de hotel?Para nosotros, queremos un ambiente tranquilo y relajante con un personal amable y feliz que lo haga sentir bienvenido y cómodo, un hogar lejos del hogar, ¡si solo pudiera pagar su propio chef y camareros!Quieres que la comida sea de alta calidad y razonablemente creativa, pero no demasiado vanguardista, algo reconocible, pero no algo que puedas preparar en casa. Ayuda si la lista de vinos es extensa, pero cuenta con una amplia selección de ofertas locales.Mirabelle tiene todo esto: es el restaurante perfecto del hotel.Benjamín lo dirige todo con su feliz amigo; estilo informativo - ¡difícil de superar una noche estupenda! ¡Gracias a Jason por sugerirlo!

Durante nuestra estancia en el hotel, mi esposa y yo cenamos en dos ocasiones. Verdaderamente una experiencia maravillosa, la remodelación del restaurante parece increíble. La comida y el servicio fueron verdaderamente de primera clase y fue un placer cenar en este maravilloso restaurante. Un gran agradecimiento a Ben y al equipo por otra visita memorable. Estoy deseando volver en septiembre. maravilloso!

El chef de este restaurante debe tener un contador de costos que vigile todos sus movimientos. Una ensalada Capresse tenía una cantidad tan escasa de queso mozzarella que era invisible debajo de uno de los tomates empapados. Mi esposa dijo que era el peor entrante que había comido. A modo de balance, agregaría que mi tarta de langosta tenía una excelente caja de pastelería. Mi plato principal de Guinea Fowl estaba seco y recocido. ¿Cuándo se cocinó realmente, me pregunto? Las verduras acompañantes fueron adecuadas. Un pub gastronómico medio decente serviría mejor pintada. El plato de trucha de mi esposa también estaba demasiado cocido, por lo que el hecho de que la porción fuera pequeña fue una bendición en cierto modo. Tomamos una botella de vino en un cubo de hielo. Ningún camarero intentó rellenar nuestros vasos, así que me dejaron pescar en un cubo de agua helada y rebuscar con la servilleta. ¡Increíble! Dos platos de esta comida indiferente de un menú aburrido fue suficiente, así que nos saltamos el pudín. Sé que es vulgar hablar de dinero, pero nuestros platos principales eran 28 y 30 respectivamente. La comida aquí podría haber sido de vanguardia cuando Philip Harben era un muchacho, pero ahora parece tan irremediablemente fuera de contacto y pasada de moda. ¿Y mencioné que los platos principales estaban demasiado cocidos? Quien esté a cargo de este restaurante mediocre y aburrido debe salir y comer en algunos de los restaurantes imaginativos de Sussex y luego pellizcar algunas de sus ideas o chefs. ¡Y saque a los contadores de costos de la cocina!

Vinimos aquí dos veces durante nuestra estancia en el hotel. Los alrededores son muy elegantes. El servicio es formal si no tan atento como de costumbre debido a las restricciones de Coronavirus. Teníamos el menú a la carta y nos limitamos a dos platos. Nos pareció que la cocina era excelente con una buena y variada selección de platos. Mi esposa pensó que la trucha y el risotto vegetariano eran excelentes y disfruté especialmente la carne, aunque eso es 40. Las personas que conocimos tenían el menú de degustación con vuelo de vino que sentían que era demasiado para comer. Si tiene tres platos con una copa de vino y un café, espere pagar al menos 80 por cabeza antes del servicio.

I have not been coming as often over the last couple of year as the food wasn’t as good , but came back last Saturday evening as I was told a new Chef was in charge and I glad I did as the food was back to where it was . As always the service was great and now so is the food again so I shall be going again much more often . The best place to eat once again for miles

My wife and I have been useing this restuarant for some time and have always been pleased with service and food provided. However, the arrival of new chef MIcheal has taken the experience to a another higher level. The menu choice and presentation is excellent and the use of local products is admirable. For anybody who has not used this restuarant for a while they should!!

Been there quite a few times. Food was up to the usual high standard, but service was much slower than previous occasions with a long initial wait for our order to be taken.

It began with there is no indication that walking out to the far side the building there is no easy access toilet. 28 steps to the ladies or walk to the other side of the building, They didn't have the wine we ordered and the food was unbelievably bad. Pork with crackling was served as a full fat piece of belly pork in a sweet, sticky syrup - revolting. The cheese course was a slate with three bits of under ripe cheese and a dollop of brown pickle. There was a few grapes and crackers. We were not given a choice of cheese. Forgive us for expecting better from a five star hotel. The service was indifferent.

Reservamos comida con recepción con champán, cena de 5 platos y champán vintage para brindar por Año Nuevo. El código de vestimenta decía "corbata negra". El hombre llegó a la sala de espera para Champagne, vestido con chaqueta gris y corbata gris. No se intentó hacer cumplir el código de vestimenta ni ofrecer préstamos de corbata negra. Falta de visibilidad del personal en el Mirabelle Lounge, por lo que los huéspedes se ayudan a canaptear del estante. Pidió whisky con comida, pero nunca vi lista o whisky. La comida era buena y los platos atractivos en platos. Sin embargo, el servicio fue demasiado apresurado y falta de gestión visible. Tomé 1 plato de la calle antes de que terminara de comer, así que durante los siguientes cursos me senté con el tenedor o la cuchara en el aire para evitar que tomaran el plato. Terrible, servicio apresurado. Decoración navideña de buen gusto en Mirabelle y buen pianista. Al final de la comida no hay personal que nos muestre al Great Hall Lounge para la recepción de Champagne, así que encontramos la ubicación nosotros mismos. El marido pidió cerveza en el salón, pero el camarero la tiró en la bandeja y en la mesa contigua. El mismo camarero trajo nuestro Champagne pero tiró las dos copas en su bandeja, rociando mi atuendo, otros invitados y la mesa adyacente. Se las arregló para obtener 2 vasos más de 2 minutos a 12. Muy mal servicio, ciertamente no apto para un restaurante de alta cocina. Hizo una noche memorable, pero por las razones equivocadas! Vergüenza.

Fantastic setting, great food , wine and service . Make sure you make a booking so your not disappointed . Look out for the themed evening throughout the year. First class !

Hemos estado cenando regularmente en The Mirabelle durante un año.Cada vez nuestra experiencia ha sido una delicia. El servicio es impecable, lo suficientemente formal como para dar una sensación adecuada de ocasión, lo suficientemente cálido y amable como para crear un ambiente relajante.El pequeño menú de almuerzo ofrece constantemente varias opciones lo suficientemente tentadoras como para elegir una tarea considerada. La presentación y el servicio de la comida siempre son deliciosos, como corresponde a una experiencia de "buena comida". Los sabores de los platos son, en cierta medida, una cuestión de gusto personal y siempre hemos encontrado nuestra comida hábilmente preparada y memorable con la suficiente frecuencia que esperamos volver la próxima vez.Por la noche hay una selección ligeramente mayor de platos imaginativos igualmente tentadores.Gracias al gran equipo de The Mirabelle.

Nos alojamos una noche en el Grand y quería experimentar su restaurante "de alta cocina". Confortable y elegante sesión, servicio atento y profesional. Buena selección de vinos y Louis Roederer por copa. Puedo recomendar tanto las vieiras como la sopa de langosta. El cordero de tres vías estaba absolutamente delicioso. No hay postre pero café realmente genial (filtro). Una comida muy agradable.

High class restaurant in a superb setting. We had an enjoyable evening with good food, good service with a good buzz in the room.

El servicio fue impecable: equilibrio perfecto de amabilidad y profesionalismo. La comida era muy buena, con algunas mejoras posibles. La panceta de cerdo estaba buena, pero el plato parecía un poco aburrido. La corteza de la hierba en el brillo estaba ligeramente sobre-salada y el plato parecía un poco desordenado. Sin embargo, estas son críticas menores. En general excelente valor (para un regalo). Con cantidades modestas de alcohol, incluido el servicio, c. ! 48 para 2. Volveremos (pronto).

Absolutely fantastic food. Our waitress was very attentive and friendly and helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal. A special thank you to the guys who wheeled my GrandDaddy to the restaurant and back. Wonderful experience and we will be returning.

We visited Mirabelle as a treat and had the tasting menu which on paper looked great.

4 of us booked lunch in the Mirabelle. It was very serene and very smart which I did expect and welcomed. No children as there was a family dining room. Staff were very good - not hovering but still attentive. Food very good and excellent price point for lunch. We didn't want to hurry

We were given a starter as a taster as we only went for dinner and pudding. ...It was pig cheeks...my word they were yummy. ..like a slow cooked piece of beef . Our main came out covered in a silver dome ..then 2 servers lifted the domes at the same time .Was a great experience. Pudding was amazing ... we then had coffee in the lounge where a small band was playing and people waltzing away. Lovely evening. ..

We had not eaten here for a while but chose this restaurant for a special anniversary.

lovely big room very nice friendly staff. The food was very good lots of interesting flavours. The service was a bit slow

The food was good. My wife said her lamb was among the tenderest she'd had.

Such fun to spend a lovely, sunny day in Eastbourne and finish up in The Mirabelle at The Grand.

If you haven't tried the Mirabelle at the Grande hotel, lunch might be a good choice. Prices are less than you might think for fine dining.

The food is outstanding, beautifully presented. The premises are pleasant, but obviously part of a hotel. The set menu is £46 but a number of courses carry a supplement which can easily take your food cost to £60-70 before service. Table are well spaced so there is privacy.

Very nice restaurant with good decor and a very pleasant ambience. Nicely presented food and an eclectic wine list. Service was impeccable all well looked after by Benjamin.

Booked a table for 8-30 arrived at 7-45 we were taken into the bar seated and our order was taken we were cared for pampered in the bar and given some lovely snacks . Then taken to the restaurant the service and the food were fantastic staff are fantastic they really enjoy what they can do for you definitely going to stay soon

Great food .good environment..nice to be there for dinner i will tell everyone go there at least once

Lovely lunch, great ambience and looked after very well by Ben, Marcin, Elena and Calvin. Always a good choice on the menu and vegetarians are catered for with a separate menu.

A friend treated me to a meal before her return to the States. We went for the tasting menu, which was excellent and a great way to try things you might not ordinarily choose. The service was excellent as well. A lovely evening.

My wife and I were celebrating our wedding anniversary. We had been at the Grand for a week and this was the Friday before we were due to go home. We went to the hotel bar, where we had pre meal drinks and olives etc. The manager of The Mirabelle came in and gave us menu's. They took our food orders and the manager accompanied us to the Mirabelle. He even carried my wife's wine for her. The Mirabelle is a fantastic place. Fine dinning and excellent service. We finished our anniversary meal with desert wines and coffee. The manager is charming and attentive. He was very discrete when he asked me in a hushed voice to sign the bill. Everyone was dressed up and the whole experience was wonderful.

We had dinner at The Mirabelle to celebrate an 80th birthday. From start to finish the whole experience was lovely. Charming service, delicious food, beautifully presented. A real treat.

Aunque he comido aquí muchas veces antes y lo he disfrutado, no puedo decir que mi última experiencia haya sido la misma. Estar sentado en el área pequeña cerca de la entrada se siente un poco menos en comparación con el restaurante principal y la noche que comimos allí (sábado 11), el menú solo tenía cuatro opciones para el plato principal, probablemente porque un grupo grande comía allí y La cocina no podía hacer frente. No puedo decir que ninguno de estos fue en lo más mínimo memorable y como otros críticos, la chuleta de cerdo fue dura y sin sabor. Estábamos entreteniendo misiones así que no nos gustaba hacer un escándalo La cuenta era un poco menos de 500 para cuatro de nosotros con una bebida antes de la cena cada uno en el bar. Una suma que habría pagado felizmente si la comida, el ambiente y el servicio hubieran sido mejores. Ben, el gerente del restaurante, no estaba allí esa noche, por lo que el servicio también sufrió con apenas una palabra de los servidores. Ninguna cantidad de levantamiento de cúpula sincronizada puede compensar la falta de un saludo o una palabra amigable. Creo que es una pena, ya que el restaurante es realmente encantador, pero será la última vez que coma allí o haga búsquedas.

Cuando uno come en un restaurante en un hotel de 5 * que ofrece una facturación tan alta, se espera una comida sabrosa y comestible, bien presentada y con un buen servicio. Para nosotros, Mirabelle obtuvo el éxito solo en las áreas de servicio (amable y eficiente) y en la presentación de la comida, que fue muy atractiva. En las otras áreas fracasó miserablemente, con solo un primer plato y los 2 postres alcanzando el nivel correcto. Mi plato de eglefino ahumado estaba casi sin sabor, aparte del gusto por la piña. Pregunté al camarero el paradero de la salsa de regaliz que se menciona en el menú, ya que no había absolutamente ningún indicio en el plato. Tuvo que preguntar en la cocina y regresó diciendo que el abadejo ahumado (sin sabor) había sido marinado en regaliz. . . . . Mi plato principal de merluza era promedio, pero disfruté la sopa de hinojo; sin embargo, el canelón de merluza que lo acompañaba se "deconstruyó" como una salchicha de pescado en una cinta plana de pasta. Los comensales en la mesa junto a la nuestra estaban claramente perplejos ante el llamado canelón. Mi esposa tenía un delicioso plato de huevo de pato cocinado a fuego lento con sabrosos champiñones y aros de cebolla.

Mi esposa y yo comimos en el Mirabelle durante nuestra estancia de cuatro días en el Grand Hotel en abril. Durante el día emprendimos algunas caminatas extenuantes, pero el sufrimiento se alivió con la anticipación de la cena. Disfrutamos mucho de la comida y el vino, y nos impresionó tanto la calidad de uno de los vinos que visitamos el Bolney Estate en nuestro camino de regreso a casa. Sin embargo, como en otras partes del hotel, fue el personal el que mejoró enormemente la experiencia. Elena, Ben y Calvin fueron amables, serviciales y muy informativos, y les estamos muy agradecidos por lo que resultó ser una experiencia culinaria memorable.

Cenamos en "The Mirabelle" durante su estancia en el hotel. Opté por la comida de tres platos y debo admitir que este restaurante dividió las opiniones. Mi esposa, que es vegetariana, disfrutó su comida y sintió que era de muy buen nivel. Sin embargo, no puedo decir que disfruté mi comida. Tal vez, tomé las decisiones equivocadas.

Visited the restaurant as part of a nostalgic overnight stay at the Grand. Very good service in the "grand hotel" tradition, but the food was a little it and miss. In particular, two of our party ordered the asparagus with poached egg, which arrived with two over-cooked eggs. The litmus tests on Masterchef that separate the good from the excellent always include Chocolate Fondant: with an oozing middle, Rack of Lamb: pink but not raw and Poached Eggs /egg raviolo: with runny centres. So, on that basis the chef at the Grand would be sent home by Toad and Shrek! On other dishes, the standard was very high. A bit of consistency, in all senses, is needed.

The Mirabelle has undergone a makeover. Gorgeous, blue, sea blue decor, luxurious drapes and an elegant finish combine to make the restaurant welcoming. The Saturday lunchtime of our visit found the restaurant bustling....and why not. The menu offered a variety of dishes to suit all palates.

He sido un comensal regular durante los últimos 25 años y siempre lo he considerado como el mejor, pero desde el cambio de chef me han decepcionado en varias ocasiones.

We would have loved to have given the restaurant an excellent but unfortunately the service let it down a touch.

The experience here varies. The menu can be odd with the various ingredients. Not sure the new Chef is up to speed. Desserts are served like children's portions. However fantastic staff and great ambiance.

Ristorante molto elegante e raffinato sul lungomare di Eastbourne all’interno del Grand Hotel.

We tried the tasting menu this time with wine matched to each course by the sommelier. The food and wine was outstanding and the whole evening was a great experience and a lot of fun. The staff are great, the pianist provided a lovely backdrop and the restaurant itself is beautiful.

Eventually made it to the Mirabelle and well worth the visit.

I ate at the Mirabelle, with my family last Friday, and wanting to experience the restaurant, Christmas seemed like a good reason to treat the family.

We have wanted to visit The Mirabelle for a long while but circumstance have not permitted it, so it was with pleasure to finally have a Saturday night free for our first visit. We could not obtain a table until 9.00pm which was rather later that we wanted. However earlier in the evening we were telephoned by the Maître d to advise that an earlier table was available.

Our second visit to the Mirabelle restaurant, this time for lunch with friends.

The Mirabelle used to be a fine restauant. Since the arrival of a new chef, the quality of the food has plummeted. Badly composed and tasteless. Overpriced. Excellent service of food that is a bad joke. Small portions (thankfully).

Vinimos aquí para celebrar nuestro aniversario y decidimos tener los menús de degustación, con una versión vegetariana para mí. Las sustituciones no fueron agradables, dos luces bajas: huevo frío y alcachofa con hojas mezcladas cubiertas con aceite de trufa y tofu tibio con hojas mezcladas y aún más aceite de trufa. El vino se vertió con sedimento en el fondo, no hubo una combinación de vinos alternativos para tener en cuenta los diferentes alimentos que se servían en la opción de verduras y el servicio fue lento (2, 5 horas y pedimos que nos apresuráramos en los dos últimos cursos). A pesar de nuestra experiencia en general y quejas en el momento en que todavía pagamos casi 200 para el placer. Claramente, quieren ofrecerle una buena experiencia culinaria, pero aún no ha llegado, especialmente con las altas expectativas establecidas en revisiones anteriores.

Los 2 de nosotros tuvimos un buen almuerzo, aunque no excepcional, aquí esta semana. Buen saludo a la llegada, profesional y amable. El menú fue un poco decepcionante, con una selección bastante limitada y algunas opciones extrañas, especialmente el plato dulce, el pudín de arroz, la tarta bakewell, habiendo dicho que la comida era sabrosa, bien servida y muy bien presentada.

Cenamos en este restaurante una noche mientras estábamos alojados en el Grand Hotel. Los alrededores eran muy agradables y el servicio era excelente. Nuestros entrantes y los platos principales eran realmente buenos: buena comida, raciones extra sabrosas y amplias. También nos dieron una amuse - bouche más un sorbete de chanmpagne como cursos extra. Estábamos un poco decepcionados con nuestro pudín de tarta Bakewell, que, aunque no tenía nada de malo, no alcanzó el nivel de nuestros dos cursos anteriores. Decidimos tomar nuestro café y petits - fours en el salón y fuimos escoltados allí y encontramos un asiento. Ah, y tomamos unas copas antes de la cena en el bar de cócteles del hotel mientras elegíamos del menú y esto fue acompañado por una selección de canapés encantadora.

No puedo creer que un restaurante con estas pretensiones (y precios) pueda servir una comida tan mala. Comenzó de manera extraña con un amuse bouche de pastel de pastores en una taza de café. El Pastel de los Pastores estaba bien por derecho propio, pero parecía completamente en desacuerdo con el resto de la comida. El primer plato fue "salmonete relleno". Se sirvió un pequeño trozo de pescado sin relleno discernible y acompañado de pequeños trozos de verduras sin sabor. Todo fue absolutamente sin sabor.

Teníamos expectativas muy altas para Mirabelle, pero lamentablemente nos dejaron sintiéndonos algo decepcionados. Intenta ser extremadamente "elegante" pero la ejecución es un tanto anticuada, con trollies para servir tu comida y platos que cubren tu comida que se levanta abundantemente con un "Voila" abundante que lleva a creer que hay algo absolutamente magnífico debajo. Realmente no lo estaba, todo estaba muy salado, lo que dominaba cualquier otro sabor, el venado era fuerte, las verduras prácticamente crudas y el jus extremadamente salado. Nuestro plato de membrillo, queso de cabra y ensalada de higos se arruinó por la acidez del membrillo, que era lo único que podías probar, que era una vergüenza. El postre era normal y nos quedamos con la sensación de que esta experiencia gastronómica era demasiado cara y un poco pretenciosa en su presentación, que a menudo está bien si la comida es espectacular, que no fue en esta ocasión.

The Mirabelle is inside the Grand Hotel, Eastbourne. My wife and I have been to the hotel for many years but have never dined in the Mirabelle. We booked a table and were sitting in the hotel bar, when a charming lady gave us menus and told us to relax and come to the Mirabelle when we were ready. She took our food and drinks order and after finishing our drinks we went to the restaurant. What a great place. It's been redecorated and it was lovely. Great service. Great staff and great food. The atmosphere was just wonderful. None of our fellow diners found it necessary to throw their heads back and laugh loudly (as they seem to do in most restaurants these days!). It was nice to for my wife and I to speak and hear each other. A real throw back to the pre-boorish days of fine dining.

Excellent food, professional service. Good wine list. Relaxing ambience. Pleased to see at least some degree of dress code - not overly formal but thank God no shorts and flip flops.

Excellent service !<br />The foods was delicious and will recommend it to friends &amp; family

Our first visit to Eastbourne and what a find! Dinner here was as good as many of the best restaurants in London. The Lobster Lasagna, one of the most delicious dishes I've had in recent years (and I'm a discerning foodie!), and the service too was first class. Lucky old Eastbourne, having a place like this... I will come back just to eat here again.
