First time here for dinner. Half of us went for the buffet…read moreand the other half ordered entrées from the menu Nobody was unhappy with their choices The buffet has something for everyone Different meats, mainly, chicken, and beef, stews, and vegetable dishes I had a lamb kebab entrée which was exquisite. Between the lamb, rice, and grilled vegetables it was a feast The other two entrées that were ordered was a filet mignon and a chicken kebab. They were both enjoyed tremendously Not a lot of wine and beer options, but it was perfect for what we ordered. It is run by a husband and wife and they make sure that the service is exceptional If you like mideastern Mediterranean food, this is a definite go to

The exterior of the building was nothing to brag about, but the interior was neat, well laid out, and clean. The owners of the restaurant were up front to greet dinners. The waitress was prompt and attentive. Mirage features a lunch buffet, so I was able to sample small portions of a lot of offerrings. My first plate was filled with selections from the cold salad station (hummas, pita, Persan picket, baba ganosh, etc.). The entree station had four different rice (balas) preparations. There was Basmati rice, a savory rice and two of the balas were sweetened with fruit and spices. All were tasty. The proteins were primarily chicken selections, but there was a beef koobideh that was also delicious. There were a broad selection of lentil and vegetable stews, so I made multiple trips to the station eating them as a side dish to a protein, over basmati rice and savory rice preparations. It may have been a cultural fax paux, but I treated the falafel like a cornbread muffin as I enjoyed the stewed vegetables and lentils. It was a good meal polished off with a serving of baklava.

Oh my- Run don't walk! What a treat!!!…read moreOur first time experience with Turkish cuisine- Our order was takeout and nothing was lost in the experience- The owner really dialed us in asking questions over the phone about requests for preparation of foods & even the presentation was spot on point considering we had our food to-go! Grape leaves were so good. Babaganoush with pita was amazing! We ordered 3 different lamb dinners & all were fall off the bone fabulous! Best lamb we have ever had! Save room for dessert! Chocolate Baklava was a treat! The warm Kanafe was beyond perfect! So happy we discovered this restaurant!!! We will be frequenting on the regular! PS The restaurant ADS are way too clever and fun!!

This week I visited Clearwater Florida for the first time, and Mio's Grill & Cafe was recommended…read moreby me to a friend who has visited Clearwater many times, and said to me that this restaurant was a "must visit" during my time here (and they were right). We sat outside during our meal and the ambiance and feel of the restaurant was very welcoming! As for entrees, I ordered the Chicken Gyro Platter which was very well made, seasoned perfectly, and presented very well. The chicken was very well seasoned along with it being perfectly cooked, and the Rice Pilaf was the same. Overall nothing I would change about this dish and I would recommend ordering it. Next, one of the people in my party ordered the Chicken Gyro Salad which they loved. Same as my dish, the chicken was cooked perfectly. It was also mentioned that the lettuce was extremely fresh which is always great to see. The last two members of our party ordered the Beef/Lamb Gyro Salad which they loved. Again the meet was cooked very well and the lettuce was extremely fresh and overall they both loved their meal. (We did also order the Baklava for dessert which was fantastic as well) To finish, our service was top tier and our server Tayfun was extremely attentive throughout our entire dining experience and was very friendly! Amazing 10/10 dining experience and would most definitely come here again and recommend to others!

We had a great experience here! Didn't take pictures because we were enjoying our conversation and…read morethe food was so good we forgot about taking pictures. We sat outside on the water and it was a little cool but a light jacket made it comfortable. It was a beautiful day! We started with Turkish Coffee, which was delicious! We have no idea how to "read the coffee grounds" HAHA but I can tell you mine looked like a duck and a crooked United States, if that helps anyones premonitions, LOL. We ordered the babaganouj appetizer, which was DELICIOUS!! It comes with pita, but for me, being gluten intolerant I asked for some vegetable. Waiter offered cucumber, but he only gave me 3 tiny pieces....so sad. Whatever, I wasnt going to let it go to waste so I just ate it with a fork. However I would suggest offering a proper portion of sliced cucumbers for your Gluten Free patrons, as a courtesy. I ordered the gluten free Falafel Salad and my son ordered the Yogurt Kebab. Both were very enjoyable! My falafels were moist on the inside with a crisp outer shell, my only suggestion would be to add a little Feta to the salad, wouldve been more interesting than pkind of plain and redundant--especially for just under $20. My son enjoyed his dish, even using the pita to scoop it up. We were so full and brought more than half home. The waiter was very kind and was generous to offer us a complimentary piece of Baklava (we had waited a bit for our food but it wasnt really a big deal--we were enjoying ourselves). Parking is a bit of a challenge because Columbia Rest and Backwaters has Valet that sort of capitalize the parking area-so plan ahead for that. We went at 2pm so it wasnt too difficult but I would guess dinner might be a challenge unless you use their Valet services--but Im only guessing. The restaurant is cute inside, and I saw they had a wine cooler. I think we'll go again and order a bunch of different appetizers and try some Turkish wine. I highly recommend trying Mio's!

What makes this place even more special is that it's run by a husband and wife, and you can feel that personal touch the moment you walk in. Today I learned the husband has been baking since 1987 and makes all of the desserts in-house from scratch and wow, it shows. We tried the carrot cake and chocolate cream pie... holy buckets. Easily some of the best desserts I've had in a long time. It's that true old-world taste, real butter, real sugar, no shortcuts. Highly, highly recommend. This place is something special.

The owner/cook gave us a quick look into the kitchen where he said everything is made fresh by either he or his wife. Definitely a return visit in the near future

After 20 minutes we got an appetizer but it wasn't what we ordered. This was our only other interaction with the waitress after pacing the order for the appetizer. We left at this point since it had been over 30 minutes and we had watched her service other tables repeatedly while only managing to give us water and the wrong appetizer. Update: the owner reached out and wanted to make it right. Unfortunately we aren't in town long enough for a return trip but it says a lot that he messaged me within minutes of this review and followed up with the restaurant to get more details. Especially since he was absent at the restaurant tonight for a family issue, which means he took time of what I am sure is already a stressful time to try to correct the situation.
