After your day of shopping at Water Tower Place, head down to the mezzanine level, walk past the coffee stand and ask to be seated at the Mity Nice Grill. Sure, the photos of children smiling at you are kitschy beyond belief, but, other than that, the theatrical setting and lighting of the restaurant is unusual among mall eateries. A 1940s flavor is intended to pervade the establishment. You will not be fooled, but even so, the food is pretty good. Chow down on grilled flat breads, steak, chicken dishes and salads and save room for dessert. Average cost is around $15 - now that is mighty nice.
