Jester Concepts revealed today that Mirabelle, an American neighborhood restaurant, will open on July 28 in Excelsior, Minnesota. Mirabelle is the third and final concept to open on the corner of Water and 2nd Streets. It joins Shiki, which opened last month, and Parlour, which debuted last fall.
“We’re excited to bring new life to this iconic corner of town with our third concept,” says Mike DeCamp, owner and operations director. “With Mirabelle, we hope to create a new favorite for both locals and visitors, adding Jester’s signature charm to the Excelsior dining scene.”
Mirabelle’s menu celebrates classic American fare. Standout dishes include Smoked Trout Dip with cream cheese, capers and dill served with grilled baguette, Shaved Prime Rib Salad, horseradish sour cream, pickled vegetables and herbs, Spaghetti with rock shrimp, capers, basil and spicy tomato sauce and Crab-Stuffed Walleye with red peppers, jalapeno, paprika, lemon and butter sauce. Guests will also find familiar comfort foods such as Beer Battered Cheese Curds, Chicken Wild Rice Soup and a selection of curated steaks and sides. Rotating nightly specials such as Meatloaf, Fried Chicken and Lasagna ensure there’s always something to come back for.
The cocktail menu, designed by Earl Giles, channels nostalgic Midwestern drinks with a playful and modern twist. Expect a selection of Old Fashioneds, including the Mirabelle Old Fashioned, made the traditional way with rotating whiskies and a classic Brandy Old Fashioned Sweet that gives off cabin vibes. Other standouts include the Spruce Goose, a Root Beer Barrel Negroni, and three retro, creamy cocktails. An expansive wine list rounds out the beverage program, highlighting domestic varietals, French wines and more. A selection of local beers and well-known producers will also be available.
Inside the 2,700-square-foot space designed by Studio Grey, Mirabelle captures the serenity of coastal living with a touch of modern elegance. The warm, inviting interior strikes a balance between comfort and sophistication, offering a true neighborhood feel. Natural materials and vibrant textiles blend the familiarity of home with a fresh twist on vintage charm. At the heart of the restaurant, a central bar with original wood detailing anchors the space, serving craft cocktails to up to 18 guests.
Throughout the dining room, seating for an additional 100 guests includes a mix of tables and cozy banquettes. Intimate seating areas, accented with handcrafted elements and soft, ambient lighting, create an atmosphere of relaxed elegance. Many of the building’s original features have been thoughtfully preserved, including a cast iron fireplace. A mezzanine level offers semi-private dining for up to 40 guests, while a street-facing patio along Water Street provides outdoor seating for another 30.
Mirabelle will be open for dinner seven nights a week, Sunday through Thursday from 4-9 pm and Friday and Saturday from 4-10 pm. Weekend brunch will launch after Labor Day on Saturday, Sept. 6th. Mirabelle is located at 200 Water Street in Excelsior, MN. For more information, visit www.mirabellemn.com and follow @mirabelle_excelsior on social media for updates and announcements.
