Okay so let me start off by saying yes I gave this place 5 stars not because it is a fancy expensive mind blowing restaurant, I got it 5 starts because it well exceeds what you might expect from this place.
I must have gone to Mihalis at least 100 times. I live in the area and it's always my go to restaurant whether I dine in for dinner, breakfast or do pick up. The service and food is consistently excellent! It's a family run restaurant and they truly make you feel like part of the family.
The atmosphere. They've done a few things over the past couple years to make it a little nicer like the wood floors and some of the paintings on the wall. If they spruced it up a little more it would be amazing to look at but it's always clean and tidy so I don't really care about the decor.
The staff is ridiculously friendly. All the time.
The food. Serioulsy, this is some of the best European food I've head. Ever. My favourite dishes are the following:
Pork Tenderloin with Dumplings - Special
Let me start off by saying I almost never eat pork besides bacon. But this is amazing! Too bad it's only a special. Wish it was on the regular menu. Although sometimes if you ask they can make it for you.
German Schnitzle - Special
It's schnitzle with mushrooms and gravy. Could there be anything wrong with this ever? Also a special but they'll mostly make it for you any given day.
Goulash with Potato Pancake - Special
This is AMAZING! They only make it every other Thursday. It's sooo good, the only thing I wish is that they didn't put so many bell peppers in it, cause I hate bell peppers.
Greek Salad with Chicken
So simple yet so delicious
Soups - All of them. They are amazing! I love the dill pickle one and the cabbage soup, my boyfriend got their vegetable with macaroni the other day and I don't really like tomato based soups and it was amazing!
I've never tried anything bad there.
The one thing they could improve on is dessert. They have a few options but the food is just so amazing that the dessert pales in comparison.
I wish they delivered! I would honestly order every week!
If you haven't been GOOOOO!
