Cafe Mistiko — Restaurant in Illinois

This place really is a hidden gem. It has a very comfortable atmosphere that can really cater to anyone regardless of what you are looking for. Very relaxed environment, very pleasant staff. When you walk in it has a sports bar feel to the left. There are pool tables, tv's, a bar and a gaming area. To the right is a very comfortable lounge area, with upscale tables for dining. Outside there is a generously sized heated patio. The real star of the show at this place is the food. It is Greek owned and managed so outside of typical bar food (burgers, chicken sandwiches etc, which are very good there,) you have shockingly delicious Greek inspired entrees at ridiculously affordable prices. All of their ingredients are fresh, and the menu has a very interesting variety. The chicken pesto pasta with sun dried tomatoes is out of this world, the type of meal you would expect at a high end restaurant, for around 15 dollars, and it's easily enough to feed two people or get an excellent leftover meal out of it. Saganaki, fresh tuna ceviche, all nice surprises. Can't say enough positive things about this place. You can go there to relax and have fun and watch a game, or have an excellent, high quality meal at an affordable price, which is impossible to find these days. ...

It is an excellent place, the staff is very kind. I was in this place in July so, I could enjoy an excellent hamburger outside in a beautiful night. The place is not so crowded so, you can enjoy a beer or a good meal peacefully. The menu is a kind of conservative, you can find entries, salads, pastas, hamburgers, among others. This is also a bar so you can enjoy different type of coctels, wine, beers, among others, they have a very interesting menu for this too. The place is awesome, thay have different types of environments in the same place, they have a bar, tables, the space outdoors and a place with couches to hang out and talk to your friends enjoying a good food or beverage. The prices for this kind of places I consider that are not high, I would say they are average, so you would know how much money you should take with you. There is enough parking for everyone, you will find parking for sure (in normal conditions, I mean no special events). I was attended quickly and the food did take time to be on my table, adding to this, the teast...

Mistiko is an excellent alternative to the corporate McMeal/McBeer experience people often have in the 'burbs. There's an eclectic environment with an unusual amount of friendliness and camaraderie.

I'd be hard pressed to find another place which embraces futbol and afternoon chillage like Mistiko does. The ambiance of the place has a lot of labor and thought but the intangibles like the mood of staff is way above par.

The food is fantastic from appetizers to dessert. They know Greek food well, so I'd suggest getting anything Greek. It is not obscenely Greek though, the place has a Euro feel to it but without the body odor.

If you're looking to hangout, have a stella or an 'upscale coffee,' this is the place to do it.

It also has consistently attractive customers. It is incredibly unique and perplexing but beautiful people just always occupy the space. Mistiko is a 9.8/10, go, chill, and mistikate among...
