"We had a reservation and still waited 20 minutes for a table. What's the point of making reservations? While we waited, they ran out of some of the food, most notably the crab cakes that a number of other customers raved about as they passed me standing in front of the empty serving dish. The rest of the brunch was typical and boring -- omelettes, hash browns, sausage and waffles. The closest thing to unique was an eggs benedict on an english muffin that was too hard to cut through with my butter knife. I did enjoy a slice of the prime rib and a slice of peanut butter pie. But, for the money we spent, we could have spent the night at a half-decent hotel and eaten the same things for free at the breakfast bar. We won't be going again."

"My family has always enjoyed this special spot for their comfort food. Situated in Water Tower Place, it provides you with ample opportunities to shop while you wait or after your meal. The staff is friendly and the restaurant has good food. We'll continue to go back."

"We were so looking forward to returning to Mity Nice for a birthday lunch, as my guest and I just loved the food there, but we were highly disappointed to find the menu had changed so drastically. My favorite item, the pot roast, was gone, and her favorite item, the meatloaf, was made with a completely different/bland spice and covered in barbecue sauce.
After these disheartening changes, we probably won't be returning to Mity Nice for some time.
However, the staff was just as charming and upbeat as ever!"

"Think of an old diner where lots of people go because it is not too expensive and convenient in downtown. Nothing is especially good and nothing is especially bad. That's Mity Nice. Everything we had was overly breaded with little calamari or fish inside. But the oil was fresh and the breading was good. My wife's rare hamburger was actually medium well. The feeling was being overcrowded and fast food being thrown at you. But, like the diner, the price for that neighborhood wasn't too bad."

"Reception was a little grumpy, but overall staff was very friendly. We had the flatbread for appetizer; it was very good. I had the prime rib sliders and my wife had a hamburger. My sliders were very good but a little more done than my liking; my wife said here hamburger was one of the best she has ever had. Overall we had a very good experience and the price at about $30 each with drink and tip was a good value as well."
