Le Mirage is a place that I have been interested in trying. The small corner restaurant that happens to be a BYOB (I love a BYOB restaurant, certain I have said that before) was decorated invitingly and had a very welcoming atmosphere; someone even opened and greeted me at the door when I first arrived.
The service was impeccable; from the door opening to the overall sincerity and attentiveness.
I started with the Tuscan sausage soup – this is a must try since my mom makes the best sausage soup ever. The soup had a nice broth with a hint of spice. I enjoyed the amount of sausage and the vegetables, tasted very homemade. For my meal I ordered the grilled swordfish; blackened with rice pilaf and the vegetable (butternut squash).
The swordfish was good; though the seasoning was a little too salty for my liking. The rice and the vegetable were substantial portions; both were great, especially the butternut squash. I did try some hummus compliments of a neighbor and that was very good—perhaps during my next visit.
I will try Le Mirage again as I did see some great options on the menu. -LB
