Nevada: French tastes near Tahoe


12:00 AM PDT, October 29, 2006

"MIRABELLE is a romantic, French delight in Stateline, hidden in a strip center minutes from the major hotels. Great for a special occasion. Its fixed-price dinner, at $33, includes appetizer, entree and dessert. Delicious, creative choices are offered with generous portions. Nice wine list, also, and very professional service."

Mirabelle, 290 Kingsbury Grade, Stateline, NV 89449; (775) 586-1007, http://www.mirabelletahoe.com . Entrees from $17.50.

Accommodations are comfortable, and the food and wine are terrific. "
