As the holiday season approaches, we know how easy it is to feel the stress building. From shopping lists to kids activities, party planning and everything in between, it’s a busy time. That’s why here at MiraMare Ristorante, we believe in the power of a good break, and there’s no better way to unwind through the holiday season than during our daily Happy Hour. From 3 pm to 6 pm in our bar area only, we’re here to help you take a well-deserved pause, savor some delicious bites, and enjoy refreshing drinks – all while soaking in the beautiful views of Venetian Bay.
Escape the Holiday Rush with Our Happy Hour Menu
Our Happy Hour menu is designed to help you de-stress and indulge a little. We’ve curated a selection of $12 small bites that are perfect for sharing with friends or enjoying solo while you unwind after a long day. With everything from fresh seafood to comforting Italian-inspired dishes, there’s something for everyone.
One of our favorites? The Summer Melon Salad. Light and refreshing, it’s tossed with a lemon basil vinaigrette and served with arugula and juicy tomatoes. If you’re craving something a little more substantial, our Buffalo Mozzarella Caprese with Parma Prosciutto is a fantastic choice. Paired with heirloom tomatoes, basil, and a touch of balsamic, this dish is a perfect balance of rich and fresh flavors.
Seafood lovers will adore our Steamed Mussels and Steamed Clams, both cooked with a flavorful blend of pomodoro sauce, white wine, olive oil, herbs, garlic, and butter. Served with crostini, these dishes bring a taste of the sea to your Happy Hour experience.
Satisfy Your Cravings with Flavorful Small Bites
For a touch of comfort, our House-Made Meatballs in pomodoro sauce, topped with melted mozzarella and served with crostini, are ideal. They’re perfect for that cozy feeling we all seek during the holiday season. Or, if you’re in the mood for something with a bit of a kick, try our Chili Spiced Tuna Tartar. The tuna is perfectly seasoned with capers, red onion, cucumber, and a lemon basil vinaigrette, served on a crispy crostini – it’s light, flavorful, and utterly delicious.
We also offer both Fried and Grilled Calamari options. If you love a bit of crunch, the fried calamari is served with zucchini, lemon, and pomodoro sauce. Prefer a lighter option? The grilled calamari is marinated in garlic and herbs, offering a satisfying bite without the extra calories.
And don’t miss our Truffle Fries! These crispy fries are topped with Parmesan cheese, drizzled with truffle oil, and served with a side of truffle aioli – it’s a simple dish elevated to pure indulgence.
Refreshing Drinks to Ease Into the Evening
Of course, no Happy Hour is complete without the perfect drink. Our Happy Hour offers $8 call drinks and $10 martinis, with a variety of options to suit every taste. Enjoy a classic vodka with Stolichnaya and flavored vodkas, or perhaps gin with New Amsterdam. If tequila is your go-to, our Jose Cuervo tequila will do the trick, while rum fans can enjoy Bacardi, and those who prefer a little bourbon can opt for Four Roses. And for the scotch lovers, we have Dewar’s waiting for you.
Wine enthusiasts can enjoy a selection of Coastal Vine Wines for just $5 per glass. Choose from Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Noir, or Cabernet Sauvignon – perfect accompaniments to our small bites.
Beer lovers, we haven’t forgotten about you! Try one of our 16 oz. Jones Beach Pilsners or Dark Lagers for $6.50, or go for something local with the Bone Hook Grateful Head at just $4. We even have non-alcoholic beer options, so everyone can find their ideal drink.
