"This is one of those places I have driven past dozen of times thinking we should give it a try. We'll tonight was the night we did. The price per person was supposed to be $20 -30. We had one appetizer, two entrées, two carbonated beverages, and shared one dessert - $50. Per person after tax and tip. When we arrived, we sat outside on their patio. Unfortunately, they allow smoking anywhere outside. State law is: no smoking within 15 feet of the business entrance and people were smoking at a table within 3 feet of the entrance. We sat inside. They made a design choice with these metal chairs that have this grey twisted padding. I have a 40-inch waist and the chair was very uncomfortable. Even if had more room the back of the chair was at an uncomfortable height. The music was popular covers. They played Rolling in the Deep but not sung by Adele. Demons but not sung by Imagine Dragons... We ordered the grilled calamari appetizer at $20, we both agreed it was over cooked and came out chewy. Mirage has a signature burger, 'the Mirage Burger ' at $24. I asked our waiter, but he could only say the beef patty has seasoning. He suggested the Chicken Gouda at $16 and I went with that. It was excellent, they smoked gouda really came through. I really appreciated his guidance. My friend had the grilled Salmon on a creamy spinach sauce with a side of feta fries. He said these were the best feta fries he has ever had. He was not a fan of the creamy spinach. I ordered a Diet Coke (on the menu it said the bottle was $4.50). The waiter brought a 12 ounce can. Those are cruise ship prices. We ended with the meal with the Mirage Cake at $7.00. I asked for coffee but the only sugar-free sweetener they had was Equal brand and that stuff gives me headaches. I want to mention the bathrooms, I cannot speak of the ladies' facility but for a restaurant with 20 inside tables and another 30 outdoor tables one single 5ft x 5ft restroom is not enough. I have been on ships with bigger restrooms. When we left again there were so many people smoking on the front porch I went back inside and asked the waiter if there is a non-smoking area of the option. He said there is not. Outside people can smoke where ever they want. I am not looking to return. I do want to say other reviewers said they were charged for a glass of water. After a $4.50 can of Coke I asked for water and was not charged. I do not know if it is a change in policy but we did not experience that charge."

"Food - quality and taste - I can’t even begin to describe how bad it was. Atmosphere- everything around is dusty and dirty… Plastic cup for the water, really ? Well the espresso and the biscuits desert was ok. Turkish coffee- not worth even trying. The salad came in to a dirty plate. The main dish was supposed to be grilled- came more boiled than grilled. The taste they could tell I didn’t like it- plate was full. The server tried his best and was nice. Even tried to fix few mistakes from the kitchen. … I left disappointed and very bad taste."

"Cafe Mirage has been around for many years. Have been coming for a long time. They made some interior changes, I like it better now with new look. Plenty space. Very first level of cafe is smoking are that is closed off from main dining. The food is delicious, we typically come here for Bulgarian Mekici ( fried dough bread image below ) on weekends ( only available Saturday and Sunday not listed on menu though ). They have great coffee. Delicious cappuccino. Service is great, friendly server named Besmir. Prices are very reasonable. Will definitely be coming again. Thank you for great experience 😊👍🏻"

"Service was great and so was the food. Very delicious. My only complaint is they allow smoking outside their door. They have an outdoor patio with a fountain then an inner 3 season type room by the front door than the main dining area. They allowed smoking in the area between the door and outside. Besides that the restaurant was great. Large portions for food, the drinks are small. Glass bottled pop was only 8oz but expensive to purchase."

"Before we start heading to Michigan we stop at this restaurant. They had a birthday party that day but they let us come in and enjoy our brunch food. The food, service, and atmosphere are incredible. Thank you so much for your hospitality. You are guys awesome 👌. If you are in the area you need to stop by. Highly recommend this place ❤️"
