Mirella’s Tavern

This was one of the spots I went to during restaurant week. I was hesitant at first being that it gave sports bar vibes but it was just what I needed. Great RW deal for $45 which had a steak option included. Steak was average but the green sauce that was with it…man oh man that was the star of the show!! Need that recipe. Look forward to coming back in the summer time and checking out the patio

Had a great time for restaurant week. After seeing other pictures, looked like we got missed on the cheesecake. Ours were very small slivers. Egg rolls were great.

Such a neighborhood gem. This place has a menu that is diverse and something for everyone. It turns out La Gondola is a restaurant that closed, so Mirellas has taken some of their signature Italian dishes and incorporated into their menu. The restaurant is clean and spacious. Perfect day for a family dinner or to come and watch sports. I hope they stay in the neighborhood for a while. Every time we come we leave impressed!

Food was like an upscale chilis. Did restaurant week and got the buffalo chicken eggroll, kale/citrus salad, ribs, and cheesecake. The best part was the eggroll, the rest was again, just okay. Our server checked in exactly 1 time after we placed our order, so that was rather disappointing, as we never got follow up drinks or ketchup or even extra silverware. Overall cute but don’t think I’d come back.

First time visiting tonight upon entering the young lady was very friendly & welcoming. The place has a great outdoor patio and upon entering you won’t believe how great and big the place is. The food was amazing everything from the ribs to the fried corn was oh so good. Our main plates were amazing all done perfectly.

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 back one day.

My friends hosted a Superbowl party here and I was really impressed. It was a great room (there were over 100 ppl) and the staff did a phenomenal job. I didn’t have high expectations for the buffet, but the food was great. Monica the server was really especially exceptional. I will definitely be back.

Truly a Neighborhood Diamond establishment 💎😎 The Staff Chef’s Bartender’s all make you feel Paramount. Great Happy Hour And GameDay Specials Great Place for Social Gatherings Work Gatherings

The wings are out of this worId good. You can tell the owner loves this place and it's an amazing spot! I think come football season if they chose a team and did some amazing American/bar food, they would be a 10x better kirkwoods! The place can and will succeed. Food is good. Space is great!

Mirella's Tavern opened up their doors for a neighborhood event last week and served up a wonderful free buffet. The service was amazing - from the hostess, to our waitress, the bussers, the chefs, bartenders and the owner. We felt welcome and appreciated. This buffet had chicken wings, sliders, Mac and cheese egg rolls (yum), charcuterie, kale caesar salad, broccoli, mashed potatoes, fried chicken, and more. All drinks were balanced, and great value. Delish! Thank you so much for hosting us and we can't wait to come back! Tip: they have a gorgeous back enclosed patio! Seems perfect for summer brunch.

Came here for Sunday brunch and loved it! Our server was great and so polite. She checked on us just the right amount and our meal was paced perfectly. Our waters were never empty and she made sure to ask if we wanted another cocktail when we got down to our last few sips. To drink, I had an aperol spritz which was perfect on such a beautiful day. For my meal, I had the avocado toast with poached eggs and a side of sausage. The eggs were cooked perfectly, the avocado spread was flavorful, and the cheesy potatoes were beyond amazing. The quality and delicious flavors at such a reasonable price point will keep me coming back time and time again. Another thing that makes this place great is the large patio space. They have a massive greenhouse style porch that is enclosed in glass in the winter and open air in the summer. There's also some tables out front (I know they are building a front patio soon!). Very dog friendly! For those who don't want to be outside, there's a variety of indoor seating including tables, booths, and the bar. I will be back soon!!

From the moment I walked in, the energy of the place was palpable, setting the tone for an evening that was as much about discovery as it was about dining. The Lobster Mac immediately caught my attention, not just for its flavor but for its artistry. The perfect blend of fresh, tender lobster and a creamy, savory cheese sauce created a luxurious texture and taste that elevated the dish to culinary art. It celebrated natural excellence, brought to life by a skillful touch. The Mexican Street Corn was another highlight, transforming a simple concept into a symphony of flavors. The harmonious combination of spices, cheese, and lime on perfectly grilled corn made each bite a delightful surprise, showcasing the kitchen's knack for elevating every ingredient to its fullest potential. Rounding out the meal, the Espresso Martini was a masterpiece of mixology, perfectly balancing espresso's boldness with vodka's smoothness. It was refreshing and indulgent, a testament to the establishment's ability to craft drinks as memorable as their dishes. The space, with its full bar in the front and a generous area for private dining in the back, exudes a welcoming vibe inviting you to linger. Meeting the visionary behind it all, famously known as Angry Chef Jose, added a personal dimension to the visit, underscoring the passion and expertise that fuel this establishment. This spot is more than just a new addition to Wicker Park; it's a destination that promises an engaging culinary journey with each visit. Whether you're there for a casual meal or planning a special event in their accommodating space, it delivers an experience rich in flavor and atmosphere. I'm already looking forward to my next visit, eager to explore more of what they have to offer.

Gotta say we really wanted to like this place. They recently added in a beautiful patio with amazing greenery. We did get a nice patio seat and just wanted to order some small apps with drinks. The service was friendly but unbelievably slow. It was slow to the point we wanted a second drink but ended up canceling it before it came out because it was taking so long between the times we'd see the server. I ended up going to the hostess to close the tab because we had been waiting 20 min just to try to close and leave. I overheard 3 other parties with similar issues. The food: I would almost come back for the elote which was fantastic, lightly charred with tasty toppings. The fries were crispy. The Brussels needed much less sauce they weee soggy and personally over sweet but still edible. Try at your own risk and maybe pick a time when they aren't busy to get quicker service.

Just opened, owner is so nice and great service. Huge space with tvs, good place to bring lots of friends. Food was great, hard to choose a favorite but we would say the duck quesadilla or the egg rolls

Yea I just don't know about this place. Kinda sketchy, manager seems like a dbag. Bad vibes

Awesome food and awesome staff! New spot in our neighborhood and we were not disappointed! We got the baby back ribs, burger, tuna crisp, and buffalo chicken egg rolls. Everything was delicious!

Had dinner here tonight. Beautiful dining room, food was good. Atmosphere great. I ordered the Old Fashioned ($11 special on the bar menu) and the waiter asked me if I had a preference of bourbon- I said no and the waiter and bartender decided to upcharge me to top shelf I did not choose for another $14 extra. ??? It really ruined an otherwise great experience. No one wants to be charged for things they did not order. Bad form, would not recommend.

The Duck quesadillas are awesome! The chef is a pro and my wife and I have never been disappointed with any of the menu items.

Excellent food with great prices! Nice addition to Wicker Park!!! Egg rolls, Burger, and Grilled Cheese are some of the best in Chicago.

Great new spot in wicker park. awesome vibes, staff is incredible. José the owner is more than accommodating to your needs and makes u feel like family and beautiful patio for the summer! Great addition that was needed on the block!

this place is amazing. The food is terrific, the prices are fair, and help is amazing. Cannot wait to return.

Really great food. Big portions and cute kids menu and prizes. Great addition to wicker p

Excellent! We've been there twice in the last 2 weeks. Great atmosphere and service and delicious food. You can tell they care about the product and their prices are very fair. We had the Philly Cheesesteak, hamburger and rings- All cooked to perfection and the portions were so big, we had leftovers. Looking forward to when their patio opens. Highly recommend- it's great to have a neighborhood restaurant like this!

We just got take out and everything was great! I loved the ribs! They had a delicious sauce and the perfect chew. The salmon and purple mashed potatoes were amazing as well. The chef really knows what he's doing and I look forward to trying other dishes!

Great new spot in Wicker Park. The food is amazing, the staff is great and the owner, Jose, makes you feel like family. 10/10 I highly recommend.

Just wow! Great experience at Mirella's--the new restaurant in the old Jack's space. We walk in for the first time and are greeted like family by the owner and hostess, both lovely people. We were a group of 4 adults and 2 children. My kids are well behaved and we've been bringing them to restaurants since they were babies, but I always get nervous bringing them somewhere new since you never know the reaction you'll get bringing children. The cool thing was, there are two distinct spaces, a pub and a gorgeous dining room. The pub was a younger, fun crowd without kids and the dining room is really for anyone. It is truly a neighborhood place. Instead of being judged for arriving with kids, we were greeted with smiles, kid menus and little prizes, which they loved! We all had a taste for the same thing, it seems--three of the four adults ordered an old fashioned and the burger, both of which were excellent. I was the outcast that ordered the salad. My husband and I split the salad and burger and loved both. I honestly think this might be one of the best burgers in the city. Even the sliders on the kids menu were perfect (yes, I stole a bite or two). My daughters can't wait to go back and neither can we. The menu is small but full of American classics, perfectly executed. Our server (I believe his name was Jake) was a superstar! We really enjoyed his friendly, warm personality. We've been in the neighborhood for about 10 years and have seen places come and go, but we really hope Mirella's is here for the long haul. We've needed a good, neighborhood restaurant for all people and all occasions with great food, service and ambiance. This place is just that!
