Reviews of Mity Nice Bar & Grill (Restaurant)

Joe V

Atmosphere was really nice (although navigating through the food court was not). The pricing was fair, especially for a sit-down. And the portions were decent; so you actually get good value in regards to food for what you pay. The food here is good (I had the prime burger) and the fries were nice and crispy. It was really good service and an enjoyable time here

Kim Bender

I really enjoyed this little gem right in the middle of the food court. Nice selection of food and very friendly staff. Good food and went back after shopping for an adult beverage.

March Bracken

This is an old Chicago neighborhood joint trying to survive in modern times. It has always been cozy and friendly with comfort food such as mac and cheese and hamburgers. It has made the comfy food a bit more contemporary (veggie and turkey burgers), salmon salad, etc. I love the place. It is homey. Great veggie burgers and many choices other than french fries as sides. I usually have lovely fresh asparagus. The sweet potato fries are great, too.

Kevin & Kimberly Howard

I left a negative review but it was for the wrong place. We got pizza right next door to this location that was not all that good but it will not let me remove my review so I changed it to 5 stars. The restaurant looked nice and the food looked good from what i saw.

Jackie Vogt

So tasty! The tuna tacos are amazing, as was the skillet cookie. If you like root beer check them out, 6 types and you can make any into a float. Love the atmosphere too.

Rich Herman

Stars for what it is...a place to sit down in a busy mall and get served politely good quality food at a fair price.

Nick Erickson

This place was fantastic. Definitely coming here again when I'm back in Chicago. The staff was friendly and very timely. The food was incredible. You have to try the salmon and Salted Caramel Root Beer. The environment, music, and feel completed the whole experience too. Loved it!

Sydney Goldberg

To get to the actual bar and grill, you have to go through the Mity Nice cafeteria, which is a little confusing. But once we found it, we had a good brunch with good service. The Croque Monsier is a solid choice, as well as the order of pancakes I shared with a friend.

Bridget Morrey

Come and visit me!

Jill Brak

Whenever I shop at Watertower Place I always come here. It's a lettuce entertain resturant, the food is wonderful and service is friendly and on top of things. Highly recommend if you are downtown or at watertower place.

Randall Thomas

Awesome place tucked away in the back, worth finding!

Mae Pettie

I love this place so much that I am trying to find a way to order the flat bread appetizer. The waiter said that they make the flat bread so...how can I get an order or two or three? I plan to be in town to shop the Chicago Water Tower on December 15, 2018 and can pick up the orders... Help!

Popovers are absolutely amazing!!

Maureen Jacobson

White fish is the best

Vishal Vishal

Loved it

Kenzi Kindle

This place is absolutely Devine! wonderful service, wonderful food, wonderful place! Our waiter was AWESOME! I definitely recommend the chicken dip! YUM!

Dyfed Richards

Nowhere near what it used to be. New decor is hideous and bland, interior design team needs shooting. Most of the staff have lost all their personality. Saving grace is the team at reception holding it together after so many years and a menu that is as consistent as it is good. This place was once one of the places for a quiet martini and get together. Sadly now a tourist trap.

Anne overbey

The server was very pleasant and the hostess was so accommodating. Very interesting place to eat at while in Chicago.

Jayme White

My boyfriend and I visited Chicago on vacation. We did a lot of walking and Mity Nice was one of the nearest bar/restaurants while we were wandering the city. I was hesitant because we weren't dressed the best and it looked like a nice place. We did go, because they had beer flights (hefty pours might I add) and I wanted a drink! We sat at the bar and Desiree made us feel like we were back home. She was the friendliest person I've met in a very long time. I make my living in the hospitality field and that kind of service is NOT learned, it's genuine and rare! Apparently her GM was from our town (or close to it) I know this because she must have gone out of her way to tell her GM this. His name was Tom. He came to our seats and asked us what we had done in Chicago, mentioned he was from our neck of the woods, and gave us suggestions on what other things to see in the city. This was awesome! I was SO happy to have a relaxing place to have some AMAZING beers (best I had in Chicago) and feel so invited into their family. We didn't eat there so I cannot speak to that but I'll be honest, coming from a backround where bad service can RUIN an experience this place was A++ for me! We didn't come to spend a lot, they knew that. They still made sure we were comfortable and enjoyed our experience regardless. Thank you Desiree and Tom!!! I will ABSOLUTELY recommend your restaurant to anyone visiting and if we find ourselves in Chicago we will definitely be back!!!

Megan Virginie Stephenson

I really liked this restaurant! It was very good food, large portions for reasonable prices. The waiters were very kind, and they have a pretty large gluten free menu. A bit limited for vegetarians who don’t want salads though. I was satisfied with this restaurant and will be back.

Centerpoint Tax Services

Top notch customer service and really great food!

Shannon Knight

A nice restaurant. They told me I need reservations for a party of 7. I made them, however really didn't need them. Everyone got something different and every one enjoyed their food and walked away full. Their beer selection was small but had some good ones. Had a children's menu. Gave cornbread muffins as we sat down.

Melody Rawley

Love this place when shopping at Water Tower.

Zorin Dobson

Before I go in railing against this place. Let me say that if you want a good veggie burger that doesn't fall apart, look no further than Mity Nice. My experience started off pretty bad. We almost go to the walking out point because they didn't take our order for quite a while when we were seated. The macaroni and cheese was good to me. Though it does have a bit of a Kraft sort of feel. It came with a green chili salsa that I thought was great. The alcoholic root beer was just average to me not great. I also thought that my tuna burger was slightly bland. It could have benefited from a bit more soy. I didn't get the flavors of a bahn mi at all even though it was advertised as such. I did however like the sweet potato fries a lot. They were very crisp and tasty. Maybe it was just a one off experience, after my visits to other LEYE places nearby, like M Burger, Wao Bao and Food Life, it just wasn't worth it here.

Joanna Hettinga

We were really impressed. With everything.

cyndi tittle

Expensive but nice people

Jason Moses Hawkins

We had a tasty business lunch with fantastic service.

Gem Medina

Good food. Great service

Michael Kaufman

Great food after a minimal wait. My wfe and I eat here all the time.

Chris

The crowd here tends very much to be older, but I wouldn't let that dissuade you. The food, service and alcohol selection are all great. Mity Nice saved my Canadian Thanksgiving the day after the marathon with an excellent turkey dinner, so they've won loads of points in my book. Thanks Mity Nice.

Cesar Romero

So many choices can't really go wrong with this place. Very yum

EMMA DUNN

The food was delicious and the staff was so nice.

Brad Benner

Really like the fish tacos. Service was also great.

Shane Stevenson

This place is amazing! Absolutely great service from Alma and very knowledgeable about gluten free needs. The gf chicken tacos were delicious along with awesome popovers!!! Highly recommend if you're in the area!

Chris Baird

I tried a bottled Salted Caramel Root Beer and the Fish Taco's. It was very very very good. Definitely going back.

Doug Lewis

Great atmosphere, great food. Prices were fair, and the selection satisfied a group ranging in age from 28 to 80, including a vegetarian and a GF fancier. I hope we can get back sometime.

Phil Stebbings

Hadn't been here in many years and it had always been a favorite. Dinner was really terrific! The popovers were amazing and our waiter boxed up a half dozen for us to take home. Meat loaf second to none!

Becca Brodarick

Gluten-free, no problem! Happened upon Mity Nice while out shopping. I first asked the hostess if they had gluten free items on their menu. I was pleasantly surprised when she handed me a separate, varied and extensive gluten free menu. Then as soon as I was seated, the server brought a basket of bread to the table. I started to remind her that I was gluten free and she said it was gluten free! Nice!! Felt like a "normal" dining experience and if you have dietary restrictions, you know what I mean. Delicious food and friendly, professional staff. My server (112 Hai H) was great! Navigating the food court to get there is a bit tricky, not sure what the ticket/pass is all about that you are asked to return when you leave the food court area.

B. Andrew James

This is a very reliable place when we're on North Michigan Avenue. Good food . Good service. Relaxing atmosphere.

Becky Roloff

Service was amazing! Chicken nachos and chicken tenders appetizers some of the best we’ve ever had!

papa don

Very good food, great service. Loved the French onion soup

C Sanders

Very nice ambiance, food was great and priced just right. Excellent service. Chicken pot pie was GREAT.

Brent Williams

A neat food court they provide you as card to go in, choose where to eat, swipe the card at the restaurant, lots to choose from. And pay when u leave, you can also get dessert like: ice cream, cupcakes, smoothies etc.

Rocio Poreves

The best. The absolute near heaven close to godly maybe perfect food. Go right now! Baby Back Ribs are meat candy. Should not be legal.

Jamie Birkner

Delicious hearty fare, also low-cal options, friendly and fast service. Highly recommend for lunch or a quick dinner. Or, if you have time to sit and enjoy-- they don't mind that, either. :) I love their iced tea!

Amy Ravit Korin

Mity Nice may get overlooked due to it's hiding place in the back of Food Life, but it is a mity nice option for lunch when you dont have the stamina to fight the crowds at the food court. Like their selection of salads (love the acapulco and rotissiere chopped chicken) and the veggie burger has pumpkin seeds in it!

Amanda F

The price point was a great attribute, but the food quality was superb. The loyal regular guests had many praises to sing.

Kent Dougherty

What a rip off!! No service, small portions for price, and unenthusiastic staff. $29 for one small noodle dish, 2 cups of soup and one flavored tea. Add on top of that, poor attitude from host, when we asked what to do, since first visit and from cashier when paying, and auto 7.5% gratuity for service? What service? I walked up to three different counters, found my own napkins, couldn't find a straw. Was told that gratuity was for service, busser... What a rip off!! Soup was supposed to be $2 with any entree. Found out, that I had to inform the order taker that I wanted the $2 soup, a sign that is posted at every counter, $2 soup with entree. Reading some of the other reviews and amazed that people that the experience was great, food and service! $15 for a habachi style pasta and small shrimp, 8 in the order (think nickel size shrimp. With 2 oz of pasta. Supposed to be Kung Poa, but no spice at all, only tasted the burnt carbon from grill. Spoke to cashier, referred to Manager, leaning against counter, playing with hair. Was told that I paid for service and should have told cashier that rang up soup, that I was getting an entree. Picked up soup at first of three different counters I had to go to. The manager did refund soup price difference, and the gratuity, thank you.

Julie Zielke

Mall Food...what? Not this place. This was an awesome dining experience that happened to be in the mall. Best service and food was amazing.

Craig Goldsmith

Great food and service. A little pricey.

Denise Pye

Good drinks

Jeff and Vicki Taylor

Excellent food and pleasant service !

Håkon Kvalø Langtvedt

Really good burgers. I had the Acapulco salad and it was ok. Definetly burger next time!

Aoife Olsthoorn

The best servers in the area, very attentive and great choice of food. Even if you dont like it, it is within a food court so you can have anything you want at your fingertips.

L Williams

Excellent food, drink, and customer service!

Jolt Hammer

Sat at the bar and had lunch. Good food, good local craft beer on tap, and the bartender was great. Kind of a hidden gem to find in the mall.

Mohammed Raheemuddin

Loved the salad

Sheri Guerrero

My favorite spot for delicious American food. Food was so yummy. The place has a cool feel to it. Ambience reminds me of Colorado Springs area.

Federico Sorenson

Really nice staff. Good food. Go there for branch and I was happy with that decision.

Nelson Grihalde

Loved the tenderloin on the lunch menu, cant go wrong with meat that succulent!

Victoria Leleika

Very good food and service.

Ethel Jones

Good food! Staff was very attentive

Jasmine Eisner

I went there before a Lookingglass show. I got the roast chicken dip sandwich and my boyfriend got the chicken d plate. We both loved our food and we loved the complimentary cheese puff things. We also each got drinks drinks were good.

Vincent Martin

Great sandwiches

Marion Cichella

Very Nice people and good food, the beef is delicious

Samuel Waggoner

We really like Mity Nice. It is consistently good. Tonight’s group had guacamole and a chopped salad to start. Chips were fresh, guac was fresh, salad was excellent. The chicken with capers and spinach and lemon sauce is very good and the Salisbury Steak special with crispy onions on top was wonderful. They really specialize in American comfort food. You can’t find a better Lemon Cake and the big chocolate chip cookie and ice cream had a candle for our birthday boy!

Bill Flapan

The food is very good. The atmosphere is comfortable. It is really a "locals" place. I recognize people that I have seen there before. The restaurant is hidden away in the heart of Water Tower Place. If you didn't know it was there you would probably miss it. The servers usually acknowledge the "regulars" Mighty Nice is a Chicago Gem.

Choice Harris

Absolutely loved this restaurant. The service, even from the owner himself, was the best ever. And the food...indescribably delicious!

Serena Robinson

Good food, good drinks and good service at decent prices

Courtney Baggech

Probably one of the coolest things I've visited in Chicago.

Ryan Straub

Had the Brisket burger and it was the most amazing burger I ever had, the staff had a little trouble bringing our drinks to us but they apologized profusely and waved it for us, the manager came over and explained they had a small problem with the bartender that day and I don't blame them for that at all. They made it right in the end.

Mary Florane

Staff was friendly,welcoming.the waiter was awsome.food good.

Shanette Seegars

Good food

Gail Matonik

Best waiter Martine. Great fish dinner.

Leah Davis

Very nice and quiet with delicious food.

AMAZING staff and food. I am GF and they shared a recipe with me to take home! The waiter was awesome and the atmosphere was great. Very nice. We accidentally stumbled on the restaurant and I can't wait to go back!!!

Gabrielle Overbey

Amazing waiter; very polite and attentive. This place has a very nice vibe. $$

Will L Howard Jr

My Experience Was Great

Takumitsu Akutsu

Very crowded and great foods and service!

E String

Live for their salads and popovers

Geoff Gass

Great comfort food spot in water tower place. Good for a relaxing meal after a day of shopping or before a show at Broadway playhouse or just to stop in. Located in the back of Foodlife food court, but is a separate table service restaurant.

Ryan Staniszeski

Cool, sit-down place tucked in the back of the food court area. Relaxing atmosphere with a varied (and gluten-free friendly) menu. The BBQ deviled eggs were delicious and the reuben on GF bread was fantastic. The best part of the meal was the complimentary GF cheddar rolls! The server was courteous and friendly and will be back when back in the area.

Stavros Sionis

Very good lunch . Good service. The super food salad was a nice surprise

Reilly Craemer

Amazing pomegranate cocktails! Will definitely come back!

Robert Garcia

Basic Amerucan menu. I really miss the chicken enchiladas that used to be on the menu.

KAMEA HALL

Great food, service and pop up rolls... I had the Acapulco salad. No complaints and more then enough food.

Nic M

Mango smoothie ❤

Joann B

Stumbled upon Mity Nice looking for a casual but tasty place to eat tonight (day 1 of a 4 day adventure). They've got just the right sized menu with enough variation so that everyone is happy but not so much that you're feeling overwhelmed (or wondering what ingredients are getting old in the kitchen). Two of us got the beer samplers (2 of the 3 samples were winners). We shared the macaroni and cheese (creamy, sharp, but mellowed by the addition of light beer - super good) and deviled eggs (sprinkled with bacon). I had the chopped chicken salad (perfectly dressed, huge portions), my friend had the whitefish special (nicely seasoned, crunchy breading), and we shared the carrot cupcakes (super good, moist, not too sweet, perfect amount of frosting). Service was on point. Our server was friendly, genuine, and informative. Would definitely recommend.

Jennifer Taylor

Great service

Joseph Jones

Nice for a quick bit to eat.

Josefina Creighton

Great Thanksgiving buffet!

Teri Galambos

Very nice place. Good food but always crowded. Try the calamari.

Elizabeth Guerrero

Food was excellent and service was wonderful!

Martha Roman

Great brunch menu

mitch polonsky

Great dinner and free dessert for having theater tickets.

Marc-Louis Paprzyca

A comforting American restaurant hidden in Water Tower with just about anything you would like. I've been going here for years with my parents and now I go with my wife. We go when we're out shopping and have even spent holidays like Easter here for brunch. Highly recommended. The soups, salads and burgers are very good but I usually go with the meatloaf or the thanksgiving dinner. Those two dishes bring so many flavors and fond memories of my family dining here. Don't overlook the cocktails because they are well thought out classics. Especially the horsecar. A great place to go for lunch or dinner if you're looking for a sit down meal in Water Tower.

Janie Covey

food was very good. nice size for the price and suprise it was quite in there aswell.

Borys Kusyk

Loved the place. Water Place was a disappointment

Jenni Hernandez

The staff was amazing but the food was not to my liking. Others would probably say it was delicious, it may have just been the seasonings.

Ruby George

Delicious food every time we visit.

Devorah B

We Went here yesterday for Thanksgiving 11/22/18. They use to have an amazing Thanksgiving Buffet. Not any longer. I went to the beef station and the beef tenderloin was raw. I asked for an end piece. They only give you two tiny pieces that were Ice Cold. So I went up for another round and the entire Beef Tenderloin was raw. I showed this to the manager she said. "Oh you can get this grilled." I was like ok. No I was lied to about 20 minutes later she got me an end piece. It was ice cold. Never again will I go to Mity Nice Grill. This is very disappointing because we used to come here all the time for Thanksgiving. What a waste of money $49.95per person. YUK.

Victor Manuel

Had a great cocktail! Very nice service!

Mike

One of the best dinners we’ve ever had. All the staff were attentive, kind, and gracious, and Michael was a fantastic waiter. The chicken tacos and minute chicken were delicious, with large portion sizes. Even the cocktails were great, and they gave us homemade dessert on the house. A comfortable and classy environment. Definitely a hidden gem that’s worth a visit.

Cyan Blue

Best bacon cheeseburger I have had in a long time. Great service. Friendly staff. Definitely recommend it.

Jennifer Hersh

The meatloaf and mashed potatoes are great!

Serena Round

We had early dinner here a few months ago and we loved the food, their drinks and their service. My husband had a burger and I had their fish tacos, they were very good. My husband had a Moscow mule and I had a margarita. We definitely enjoyed it and will be back. The atmosphere is very casual and family oriented.

Ashley Glassman

Love this secret location when you are in Watertower mall and want to be served versus going to the food court. Being a LEYE restaurant, it has lots to offer. I personally love the guar as a big appetizer to share.

Giggle Eyes

I love LOVE Love this place, the food is great, the service is spectacular. Ant they have awesome entree deals for the month of March after 5:oo Pm!

Stacy Larson

My salad was amazing! Service was wonderful.

Andy Greenwald

We have eaten here a number of times and love the food and service. Just a wide variety of food for everyone. The puffs are a nice addition.

Judith Kara

Great menu, wonderful service and courteous servers.

Tiffiny Kovin

Had a 9:00 reservation. We got there at 9:05, our show went a couple minutes late, and had to nicely argue with a woman at the entrance to the food court to let us in to be seated as they stop seating at 9. The Waiter came up quickly and said the kitchen was closed but he’d tell them there was another order, meaning ORDER NOW. I’m sorry, you seat until 9:00 and your kitchen is already closed at 9:05??? Not likely.. I’ve been in the business my whole life, that just doesn’t happen. The waiter was very, very nice, yet other staff around were standing around us for a good 20 minutes discussing how their night went monetarily and talking about other staff complaining. It was irritating to listen to them. Food was good, but $15.00 for that little chicken pot pie was robbery. There was barely any chicken and for the price I was disappointed.

Jeffrey River Niles

What a delightful place. We just came from a local hotspot that gave us the cold shoulder and decided to open an hour late. What a contrast. Mity Nice was hospitable, every employee we encountered was cheerful and the food was delicious. Definitely recommended whether you're just passing through the mall or looking for a nice place to dine.

Troy Brailo

Really nice place. Strange location but well worth it. Great service, great food and great (full glass) house wine. Tuna tacos were amazing.

Ann Sherman

Great find -- tucked into the food court - fabulous atmosphere and food -- staff is knowledgeable and so friendly and everyone is NICE!!

Maryann Slawinski

Love love love love love love this place!!!!!! Has been a go to restaurant of mine for 20 years. The food is great and consistent. The staff is always nice and friendly and accommodating. I'm a fan and patron for life!

Jason Greene

Very nice waitress, excellent appetizers- try the deviled eggs. Great selection

Kevin S

Warm French Onion soup. Four types Root beer (glass bottle).

Lucille Peregrin

This place was horrible it took them 35 minutes to just get me at dr Pepper and it took forever and my food took forever when I went to the bar and asked for my drink they said they didn’t even have Dr Pepper and they didn’t even take the time to ask for my bill it’s just like they gave it to me and told me to do it now and that they are in a rush but we where the only ones in the restaurant except for 6 outer people at one table that was it and they keped rushing us to do our bill immediately

Johannes Krämer

Great food

Casey Hoogstraten

Consistently good food and something for everyone. Friendly host and waitstaff.

Flavio Melo USA

Very good

Patrick Herlihy

Its fine. Not special, but fine.

A Jay

Food was great. Popular eating spot, so I would recommend reservations.

Chris Haen

I work downtown Chicago and this is one of my go-to lunch places. It is a great place for dining with a small group or eating alone. I love their salads (large portions) and their gluten free popovers. Nice, relaxing atmosphere. A great place to unwind in the middle of your day.

Daren B

Absolutely wonderful place to dine!

Loretta Marinelli

Excellent food! Very impressed. Great service as well. Will definitely return!

Denise McShane

Feels like home

Karen Klaus

There are many restaurants to choose from in Water Tower, but I'm glad we ended up here. Very nice atmosphere and a good lunch menu to fit every palette. We ordered the barbequed deviled egg appetizer and I got the superfood salad (kale with quinoa and cranberries) with a cup of turkey chili. Everything was very tasty and the prices were reasonable.

Gretchen Dziadosz

we enjoyed it. the ginger chicken pot stickers were excellent with a great sweet chili sauce. salads were good, although perhaps the hand was abit heavy on the dressing it seemed like many of the customers were very old people being brought there by daughters and sons. must be the nostalgia factor!

J Riley

A great place to eat and a good variety of choices. This food court has been well thought out with sound proofing on the ceiling and a wash basin conveniently located for patrons. The fried chicken and burgers were great.

Kristine Harth

Despite this being located in a mall food court and hidden, this is a sit-down restaurant with amazing food. I got the filet mignon pot roast and it blew my mind how tender and flavorful it was. It paired really well the potatoes that came with it. The service was really friendly as well, making the meal truly 'mity nice!' This restaurant is a Lettuce Entertain You restaurant in case you're a rewards member with them.

Renato Murayama

Great diversity of meals for all tastes at a reasonable price, good attention from the personal

Rashmi K V

Good

Kristen Muzzillo

They did a good job accommodating a large crowd. Family style food was excellent and eccentric.

Paul Nebenzahl

Always a great, mity nice experience!

Landon Lacey

Expectations were low as I had never heard of Mity Nice. One bite into my meal, I fell in love and have never stopped thinking about this place. I've been back to Chicago a handful of times, I have not have the chance to go back. Out of the hundreds of restaurants I've been to, this is definitely a favorite.

Steven Haskell

Large drink selection, great food, and awesome service. Can be hard to find in the mall but worth it!

Ashley Robinson

I always enjoy dining at Mity Nice Grill because the staff is always so attentive and a friendly. The sweet potato fries are to die for. And, I feel that it is a great value for the price. And let's not forget about the LEYE points!

Lisa Burns

I placed an order online for delivery because I was excited to try some of their gluten-free options. Then my order was abruptly cancelled an hour after I placed it. When I hangrily called the restaurant and demanded to know what happened, the man I spoke to was way too nice to me. He gently explained that it was a Grubhub issue, not the restaurant’s, and even offered to call grubhub to try to figure out what happened. Amazing customer service. I will definitely try to order again (just not through Grubhub lol).

Melissa's Hair Lair

Good food

Good food, long wait time so I sat at the bar. I sparked up a nice conversation with the lady next to me. Overall good experience.

Diana Shapkauski

Food was delicious
