So, this one was a real doozy of a visit. The drinks were fair, with our order being a Goose Island…read moreIPA, Long Island iced tea, and a pomegranate martini. The service and food, on the other hand, were quite a mixed bag. We ordered a margherita pizza, pancake tacos, steak and eggs, and French toast with a side of sausage--the pizza, at least, was good. However, the "French toast" was more like an anemic panini press trying to pass as French toast. The steak and eggs comprised of a fairly well-cooked (that is, it was the right temperature) yet underseasoned steak of a relatively dubious cut, underseasoned home fries, and eggs done wrong (sunny side instead of over easy). The lattermost was the start of the problem, as I was willing to give it a shot, but found the texture off-putting. In light of this, I brought the problem to our server Adalia, who brought it to her manager Elvia. Thankfully I had someone else with me to tell me what happened: Elvia came over without addressing me on their error, silently took a look at my plate and instructed Adalia to have the kitchen put the eggs back on the fire. She takes my plate to extract the eggs, and brings them back (unsurprisingly) completely overdone, first in Elvia's hands, then in Adalia's for her to serve; we send for a refire, and they come back correct 7 minutes or so after I've already finished eating. Considering the hassle it took to get them, I couldn't trust it enough to eat, leading them to waste as well. After all was said and done, the GM Amer comes over to see how things were, and was thankfully helpful and understanding of our situation. Here's the rub: I was initially willing to overlook the steak, the home fries, and even the eggs if the error was properly ameliorated. Adalia and Amer both did very well, and I'm grateful for them for that; Elvia, on the other hand, managed to break the chain of competent customer service by directing the server to handle the problem in a way that was set up for failure (if you mess up an egg, it's an immediate refire because of how the egg cooks in the first place -- Amer also arrested to that policy) all without addressing us and taking accountability, due to negligence or whatever else. Not only that, but when sending the incorrect eggs over the second time, she couldn't even bring it to us herself--it would have been easy, seeing as she was the one that originally had them--and left Adalia and her tip to potentially take the fire if the patrons happen to be angry. Mistakes are fine--everyone makes them--but I'd describe this as cowardly more than anything else, and I take issue with that in particular from a leadership standpoint. While Amer graciously extended an invitation for a better experience next time, I can't say I'll be taking him up on the offer when their service and food are this misaligned; unfortunately, a disappointment overall.

Anyone who knows me knows that I'm very patient, caring, understanding, and empathetic to the service industry. Reservations were for 1:45 today (Sunday.) Place was empty. I know they recently got slammed because of all the "influencers" that have been posting in the recent weeks, plus from what the owner mentioned, a new line cook was being trained and their Pizza folks quit. Heard his story and understood, as we are all trying to keep head above water. I was trying to think, do I know the chef? do I know anybody here? Did I curse out their mama? The expresso Martini was trash, I don't know if the bartender was partying the night before, but I do know is that 20 minutes later after ordering it came with about a fifth of a tequila bottle poured in. About 45 minutes after that and me having to grab the attention of the staff to the point that I got up to the hostess booth, the owner finally came over and explained that they were slammed and proceeded to comp my meal that it will be right out. 15 minutes after that I had enough. And yes, I paid for my drinks, as the owner was bringing out the food and was kind of upset because he told me he was going to comp my meal. Nothing in life is free...Purely a litmus test to see if they would at least have common courtesy to comp those. One of the waitresses that was training another caught an attitude, I dismissed it. And yep, drink comp didn't happen. Same waitress kept passing by as I bit into my burger and I knew they gave me the special (anyone who's seen that movie waiting knows what the special consists of... I still can't take the taste out of the pound of salt and pepper that they poured on my burger, and my lady's food could crack a brick wall. The whole ride home I was questioning my existence, what karmic food God did I piss off? So since I didn't and don't get paid to "influence," don't believe what you read or hear on the internet (as ironic as me posting this online.) This is my honest review, and I do hope that if you still chance it and go to this place, you have a better experience, and not a scene from Scarface... fly pelican fly...

To start, we shared the crispy brussel sprouts Charleston style. These were delicious with the tangy sauce and large flakes of parmesan cheese. For my main, I had the brunch wrap. It comes with chips, but I swapped for fries for an additional charge. The wrap was a good size; I had half and saved the rest for leftovers. It was tasty, but not a ton of flavor. The tater tots were nice and crispy and I enjoyed the fresh tomatoes and avocado. They gave me a huge portion of crinkle cut fries, which also would've been great with a little more seasoning, but they were good when dipped in mayo. My husband got the shrimp and grits and appreciated the large portion size as well. I had a lemonade to drink. It was refreshing since it wasn't overly sweet. Service was great. I look forward to trying the rest of the menu!

I also got a chocolate milk which was a Nesquik bottle which I haven't had in a while, the taste still holds up to when I was a kid! The pancakes were different but good! The sausage and bacon were regular and normal, nothing crazy. The eggs were probably a little overdone for my liking but I think I should've probably just asked for over easy since these yolks were barely runny at all. The sourdough was a great companion to the eggs though! The biggest downside to this place is that it's cash only. Very inconvenient and we didn't know until I showed up, luckily I had some on me and had enough for my friend who was with me. Overall a very laid back, casual, old school vibes. Solid, well balanced, quick breakfast!

The restaurant is modern, crisp, and bright, with colorful paintings adorning the walls. The menu is provided on digital tablets at the table, which are more convenient than having to scan a QR code. They have a great selection of custom cocktails. I ordered the rum punch and enjoyed the sweetness and fruity flavor. For my main, I had the avocado toast. The bread was soft, thick, flaky, and slightly sweet. The avocado was fresh and chunky. Based on reviews, I also got a side of the mac and cheese and it did not disappoint. It was well seasoned with creamy cheese and a well done top layer. My husband enjoyed the shrimp and grits. For dessert, we had the bread pudding. This took about twenty minutes to come out, which was a bit of a long wait. I loved the caramelized berry topping. The bread was a bit chewy, but still tasty. Service was excellent. The owner, Alvin, stopped by our table twice to make sure we were well taken care of. Can't wait to come back again with the rest of my family!

The busboy brought filled water glasses and made sure the he filled our water glasses. When the food server brought my dish I knew I was in trouble. My overly cooked hamburger was siting on a bun. No big deal I moved it off and saw the wilted lettuce and dead looking sliced tomato. I loaded up my dish with ketchup and asked the food server for a side of mayo. I enjoyed dipping my French fries in the ketchup and mayo and followed suit with my overly cooked hamburger. You guessed it. My ice tea was never refilled because I never saw the waiter again until he brought the check. I have been coming to this location when it was originally a stand alone building and named the College Diner. I was a customer for years and when it became the Mirage Diner I continued to patronize it. When the Mirage owners sold the property to Iona and built the existing building I was very happy to see a restaurant being built on the ground floor. It is called The Mirage. I think it has changed ownership several times because we tend to see different managers and staff. I am a very disappointed Sal E. New Rochelle. I deleted all their pictures that I had on file.

From a current Westchester resident, my sister, mom and I were hesitant to go , but we were proved wrong that it was a great restaurant. We were a party of 7, and we all felt cared for, the staff was understanding, and attentive from the moment we sat down to leave. Each member in my party had something diffferent: 1. Chicken sandwich 2. Burger 3. Ahi tuna tacos 4. Carbonora (x2) 5. Chicken capricossa 6. Chicken Parm - and even accommodated vodka sauce instead of regular marinara sauce. Wine was nicely poured, cocktails were tasty (although I didn't love my raspberry martini) beer was cold. The restaurant was clean and tidy, and welcoming. Will be coming back ASAP!
