Mirella’s Tavern — Restaurant in West Chicago Township

The owner sat us himself and was very nice! He was grateful we came to support - we live right down the street.

Our server was really nice as well and gave us recommendations. I really hope this establishment stays because we want more places to eat and hang out in the area! This place can definitely be on par with 50/50 and Fatpour. We wanted to give a little feedback because we believe this is how establishments succeed:

-The portions are HUUUUGE. This usually isn’t a problem for us but the burger was so big it was a little bit hard to eat. The burger has great flavor but the juices from the burger made the bottom bun very soggy. I didn’t end up finishing it but I did enjoy the taste.

-Fries were really good! Could be a little crispier. Were a little soggy as well. But we did finish them :)

-Service was a little slow. When we came in there wasn’t anyone at the host stand - wasn’t a big deal - when we walked in looking for somewhere to sit we were tended to immediately. Our server was as attentive as she could be and had several people to attend to at once. We noticed the bartender and the server having to go in the back several times and it left some people at the bar/tables hanging for a bit longer than desired. With this being a newer establishment - it may be confusing for people coming for the first time and not having a presence when they walk in (lack of visibility of host and bartender)

March Madness is coming up and 50/50 and Fatpour are always overflowing with people. It would be really nice to be able to come here for some drinks/good eats on game days. Same with Saint Paddy’s coming up. Would recommend putting posters in windows so people in the neighborhood know you’re doing something for these occasions - it would bring a ton of people in.

Looking forward to coming back. Thanks...

Before I start I will say I’ll go back again, but maybe not by choice.

I went with a group on a reservation to this establishment. When I got there my friends were sat in the front of the restaurant at a high top table that was pulled together. Not really a reservation worthy spot I’d say. When my group informed them that we had a reservation, the hostess said the dinning room was full. What’s the point of a reservation. The point is to get a seat in the dinning room for restaurant week. Major disappointment just right off the bat.

Service was okay. Our waitress was kind of disheveled. Her attentiveness was alright , but I couldn’t get over her crop top and really messy hair. As someone who used to work in a restaurant I think it’s important to have your hair tied up properly to avoid any situations. She did check up on us multiple times which I appreciated so we left a tip accordingly. Another table clearer kept taking our forks. If silverware isn’t going to come out each dish maybe the table bussers should be more aware of what they’re clearing.

Alright the food. I had the crab cakes, feta citrus salad, chicken Marsala , and brownies. I won’t get into details , but for $45 I think the price was good. I left with a full belly and I liked all my dishes. The price range is perfect for what we got. I enjoyed all my plates very much.

I did order a beer, Stella, and it came out rather slow and in a wet glass, foam was already going away. Really disappointing. I’ll add a pic.

Go here for some good food on a casual night. Thank you Mirella’s Tavern for a tasty meal, maybe I’ll make it...

Truly a beautiful neighborhood gem. Lots of options on division street but this one definitely stands out. First and foremost to all the staff, the Chef and the new management you are all Amazing. Thanks Chef and Tyler for all the delicious recommendations! This place is beautiful, outdoor patio, the bar plus the back dining room are all spectacular. With so many options we didn’t know exactly what to expect so I asked Tyler for some recommendations. The chef happened to be in the room so he stepped in and said you must try the black mussels and the tuna tartare taquitos. Wow! Delicious I’m so glad we did. For the entrees we choose the NY strip steak with truffle fries with chimichurri and the house special that came highly recommended by Tyler and the Chef the Boiled Pork Chop with Yukon Potatoes and Broccoli that was Paramount, probably one of the most delicious I have had. We will definitely be back I’m looking forward to try more options and the Brunch! Thank you all for a great...
