It's been a good two years in the making, but well worth the
wait as we experienced on a recent visit. MIX offers a
refreshing departure from typical suburban restaurants with a
blend of classic comfort food and contemporary American
cuisine.
“We serve real, honest American food made from scratch
with great care,” offered Chef John, who most recently
served as executive chef of Lettuce Entertain You
Enterprises restaurants Twin City Grill, Tucci Benucch and
the Magic Pan Crepe Stand at the Mall of America. “MIX
brings back the kind of food your Mom made or at least the
kind you wished she had made.”
The interior is clean and bright creating an equally
comfortable place for family dinners, date nights, and
business lunches. Though certain iconic features such as a
long dining counter and vinyl-clad booths evoke the
traditional diner; the contemporary décor and blue back-lit
bar have reinvented the concept.
Our party enjoyed appetizers of Almond Crusted Goat
Cheese with Cranberry-Orange Relish and Crispy Calamari
with Chili-Lime Aioli. We tasted each others' entrées of
Macaroni & Three Cheeses; Meatloaf with Tomato Chutney
and Mashed Potatoes; Hot Kobe Pastrami and an All-
American Bacon Cheeseburger.
An eclectic selection of beer, wine, and cocktails
compliments the menu. We taught our waiter who was
doubling as the bartender that evening how to make a classic
Side-Car. Hopefully we convinced him that it should be on
the menu. Non-alcoholic beverages include a contemporary
take on shakes and malts featuring caramel banana,
raspberry vanilla, mocha, and Madagascar vanilla bean.
Three of the four of us ordered desserts. I ordered a spoon
to sample an outrageously delicious banana cream pie; along
with a chocolate pudding of pure decadence and Chocolate
and Peanut-butter Pie; all house-made by their Pastry
Chef/General Manager.
Chef John and Joan are welcoming customers 11am-10pm,
Monday-Saturday; 11am - 9pm Sundays. For reservations
or take-out orders call (952) 479-7448.
