Miramar Beach - El Granada

It was a gorgeous day at the beach. Big waves. Blue skies and yummy food. Service was great too. It’s a got-to spot my niece and I like to spend time at ... especially when we’re taking an extended lunch!

Originally named the Miramar Beach Inn, after 30 years of my patronage, I will have to commit to memory the slight name change to The Miramar Beach Restaurant. The restaurant has a special menu on Thursdays, which has added to it 's popularity. This past Thursday 's special was crab cioppino, served with a crab bisque, and french bread to soak up the bouillabaisse. After, for dessert was a small slice of apple pie. Given the Covid-19 orders, we ate under a heat lamp on the patio outside. The restaurant has done a great job dressing up the patio for relaxed dining. Nature cooperated in giving us an amazing painted sky sunset, and shut the winds off, resulting in a rather mild evening for the coastside. Service was attentive, friendly, helpful, and very good. The crab cioppino was one of the better crab cioppinos that I have had, and included enough seafood. Miramar Beach Inn location, is as good as it gets....especially on that night. The one piece missing, sitting outside, is being able to enjoy listening to the music provided by Terry, the pianist, who is rather accomplished, and will take requests. Thanks to the folks at Miramar Beach Restaurant, for a wonderful evening.....I look forward to seeing you again soon. Be well, TS

Servers cater to hometown regulars and all but ignore everyone else. We’ve been going there for years, and it has always been a bit snobbish. But the food is good, so it became our go to spot. We visit about 6 times a year. Our most recent visit was the worst service yet and we both decided that we are going to look for a different “go to” spot next time.

Wonderful location across from the water and excellent food. We had oysters, mussels and fish tacos and the each dish was excellent. Highly recommend this restaurant!

Wonderful! Scenic and safe. Memorable night. Great.
