Unbelievable, and undiscovered.

The staff insist on considering themselves a cafe; to wit, the cappuccino is incredible. But it is the food, the feel, and the classic Mediterranean (cum 'European') ambiance that are the real stars, here. Always a fan of grown up mac & cheese, the chicken fettuccine alfredo has the perfect amount of garlic, fresh slices of parmesan, and excellent sauce. Today, however, it was the Chicken Gouda - lovely, dices of sauteed chicken resting on a perfectly cooked and seasoned bed of rice (the parsley will drive you out of your mind!) with a delectable drizzle of gouda cream sauce. Yikes!

Ask the staff for their favorites; or just let them surprise you with a dish they 'read' from you.

Cafe Mirage is certainly a lovely surprise in the desert of mundane factory restaurants that has become the O'Hare corridor. Surprise your loved one with a truly exotic experience that you may both enjoy for decades.

I have been going to this place numerous times but yesterday was the worst ever food I am sorry to say it but everything was so so not fresh over cooked and portions were so small to look and prices are peppered.

My favorite place to have fun outside and take couple drinks with friends and it’s open to late hours so it’s good sometimes you are having hard times to find a server if you are outside but ngl they have good team ??

Parking: Entrance for place is little hard when you are turning you need to be careful if you are new driver

The service was non existant. I had to ask four times before getti g a glass of wine and has to ask twice before getting a glass of water. By far, the worst service I've ever had.

Within minutes of walking in to this beautiful place I felt a good vibe. I had the Turkish coffee for the 1st time. Its basically a expresso shoot and it's accompanied by a small shot of soda club and a candy to wash down the strong taste of the coffee. My entree was a grilled tentacle and sautéed in a base of tomatoes and onions.. Its was nice and tender. Im definitely going back for the food and ambiance!!

The food is very good. The service is a hit or miss, but they are trying most of the time. The ambiance inside and outside is very pleasant. I highly recommend it

We dined in 4 people with a 3 months old baby. The food was ok. The service not. We asked 2 times for boxes for to go, and we got ignored for more than 30 minutes. Once I approached the server because I wanted to take care of the bill, and ask her for a third time for boxes, she replied ok and she told me to wait one moment. She went at the bar, she talked I guess to the manager, and she came back with the POS and she told me the total. I asked to get the receipt printed and she told me that she would give it to me after the payment. Something that doesn’t make sense. Once I ask for the check they are suppose to give me the receipt so I can check it, and not to show me just an amount on a screen. So she brought me the check, and I noticed a 20% gratuity included and of course without her tell me anything. I asked her if the gratuity is included and she replied yes. Well i didn’t know their policy about gratuity so I just paid and left back to my table. After the payment, of course she never show up to the table, we got the containers by ourselves, and we left. After coming home, I checked their online menu, and it was saying that over 5 people a gratuity 20% can be applied. I get it. But guys we are talking for a 4 people table with a 3 months old baby, that obviously was staying in a stroller. I don’t mind at all to include the gratuity(even tho 20% for this place, doesn’t stand at all but anyways), but at least guys be aware of what your policy is. I’ve never been at any restaurant in Chicagoland, that included 20% gratuity in a 4top table. Poor service, poor management. Never again at this place.
