What People Are Saying About Mity Nice Grill

In Short – Cozy booths hug the walls of this Lettuce Entertain You restaurant nestled behind Foodlife in tony, touristy Water Tower Place. Big-band music wafts over the din of clanging silverware, and huge black-and-white photos of kids adorn the walls. Comfort foods like macaroni and cheese and meat loaf abound, as well as fancier offerings like garlic-crusted whitefish and filet mignon. Burgers are the main attraction, though: half-pounders with classic toppings like sauteed mushrooms and grilled onions.

A pleasant surprise food-wise, but lousy service
by chicagogirl3
We drove all the way downtown originally planning to eat at the italian place in Bloomingdale's only to find that it was closed til 4 due to a private party. It was pouring rain out, so by the time we got to Water Tower, we were rather irritated and very hungry. All the lines were so long, and then they called out for Mity Nice. None of us had ever heard of it, and we were starving, so we decided to give it a go. Lo and behold, it turned out to be perfect. The food was surprisingly great. I would still choose Weber Grill over this place any day, but it was definitely surprising that all of us were satisfied with our meals (we're all quite picky!) The prices were pretty decent considering it was inside water tower. The service was extremely sloppy. Our waiter came maybe every 10-15 minutes and even then, he was very impersonal and unfriendly. He didn't give us bread and barely paid any attention to us the whole time we were there. I would gladly eat here again, but I'd have my fingers crossed for better service.
- Pros: Food
- Cons: Service

Strange Location
by Ashia
Great drinks! And the ambience is very cool. The food overall was good. The much celebrated Mac-n-Cheese is actually Rigatoni. It was good, but you can certainly get better. We visited on a Friday with family. The perch-n-chips were great. Moist fillets and crispy fries. The salmon looked delicious. And the flatbread was a hit all around. But it is a big overpriced - and the location is strange (in Water Tower). I'm still not sure if we will be back. Again, slightly above average experience.
- Pros: Ambience, Drinks
- Cons: Overpriced

Mity but.......
by baddawwg
Not worthy of a 10 in my opinion. $10 for Macaroni and Cheese doesn't do much for the value rating, no matter how good. The tuna salad was excellent; the quiche was so-so. Awesome Goose Island Root Beet on draft - a must try. Don't get me wrong, this is a very nice restaurant and the food is quite good with generous portions. However, in the sea of great restaurants that Chicago is, this one is above average, but no better. For lunch I preferred Ditka's. Mity is non-smoking - a bonus. While it is in Water Tower, don't hold that against it. You'd never know you were in the mall, other than the lack of windows. Worth it if you're in the neighborhood, but not worth an exceptional effort to go there. My wife and I were visiting from out of town when we dined here.
- Pros: Portions, Quality, Non-Smoking
- Cons: A bit pricey
