la mie

i'm a little late in posting this but better late than never. i had one of the best dining experiences a couple of weeks ago at la mie, jared took me there for my birthday lunch. it was so good i can't get out of my head, i might have a new obsession. it was also on the top 100 list, so another one has been checked off the list.

the atmosphere is trendy with a European feel, the food was simple but exquisite and the service was great. i also ran into an old friend that works there, so that was an added bonus.

i had a greek salad with hummus along a homemade vegetable noodle soup with fresh pasta. jared had an apple, avocado salad with a flank steak sandwich. my friend also sent us home with a bag full of their amazing pastries including a pear tart, a loaf of cinnamon raisin bread and my favorite a lemon meringue tart.

another reason i may love this place so much is because it reminds me of a little bistro, le rendezous, i visited when over in Scotland. everyone else on our trip was touring some golf course, you may have heard of it, st. andrews (known as the birth place of golf and where they frequently play the open championship) while calista and i were walking around the campus of the university of st. andrews looking for prince william. on our way back we found this lovely restaurant and it was one of the highlights of my trip. i had a panini and homemade carrot soup. we eventually made it to the golf course long enough to get a picture on the green of the 18th hole. la mie is the closest thing i have found to replicating that delicious meal.
