| - This newly renovated (within the year) Cafe Mirage got a much needed face lift! It looks pretty hip now, but would it live up to it's new kicked up image? That was the question my friend, when I went today for lunch....
If nothing else the staff are extremely friendly and personable! It was pretty empty when we went (apparently Monday's are the worst day of the week). I ordered a veggie burger as a recommendation from the waitress and my compadra ordered their smoked salmon salad. My meal overall was pretty good.. The only complaint I had was that something in my burger tasted like the freezer. I'm not sure if it was the bun or the actual burger, but it had a definite freezer-like taste. My fries were nice and crispy though, I enjoyed those thoroughly!
My co-worker seemed to enjoy her salmon salad, and it did look pretty fresh (at least the lettuce did, I'm not experienced with smoked salmon to make that observation). Pricewise was a little pricey for lunch in my opinion. I do believe they use the same menu for lunch and dinner, which would explain the dinner-like price point. I wanted a pasta initially, but the one I wanted was $14.99.. It was a little hefty considering it was lunch and I wasn't paying, so I didn't want to seem like I was taking advantage of the situation.
All and all, I'd go back, but would probably order something different. I'm eyeing the greek salad.. Look out baby!
