Great bartenders and drinks. Unfortunately, needs to either market better or people need to just get themselves there! Great dance floor and layout and the staff really looks out for the customers to make sure they have a great time while they are there. Give it a shot on a Friday or Saturday night and bring a group of friends! Thats what we did and even with a low crowd we had a great time!
Bonus - its connected to Azie which has great sushi so its a double win when you go! -

This place is terrible. I've been here twice now, hoping maybe it'd get better the second time around. It didn't... In fact we cut our visit short and went down to Gullifty's instead. I read a few reviews of people saying the place was empty but they were there at a weird time.. Nope, it's always empty! Drinks are probably just a dollar or two over priced, even considering the area. And even though no one was there the service was still slow... how does that happen? The food I've had was pretty good... But there's really no atmosphere, nothing great about the drinks, and the service doesn't stand out. I'd skip this place!

My boyfriend and I stopped into Mixx due to a Groupon for 50% off we had on a Monday night. It was really empty (due to the day and time, I hope), but was nicely decorated, had a large bar area, and tons of seating. Upstairs I know they have another restaurant, but we stayed downstairs for dinner and drinks. They had jumbo tvs broadcasting the latest sports games.
Drinks were fairly priced. They have a good happy hour from 5-7pm M-F with half priced appetizers and $3 drafts so we got beer and their Philly sushi roll which kind of tasted like a cheesesteak.
Both our meals were pretty tasty, but I do agree another reviewer who said portion sizes were a little small. I took home leftovers, but this was because we ordered an appetizer.
Service was pretty standard. We had an attentive waiter, but I think it was due to the restaurant being nearly empty. The manager was very friendly.
Overall I'd come again for happy hour with co-workers, but probably on a Friday to get a larger crowd. They also have a great outdoor seating area upstairs which would be awesome in summer. -

Came here to see a friend and her cover band play on a Saturday night. It was the July 4th weekend, so most people were out of town, evidenced by the empty restaurant when we arrived at 7pm.
We were handed the special sushi roll menu upon arrival, and I got a little worried. Looking around, this doesn't look like a sushi restaurant. A lot of brick and some classic black-and-white patterning cover the walls. Reminded of me of those non-Japanese restaurants that serve sushi but have no business doing so.
But after a quick Yelp mobile check on the sushi, we ordered the volcano and spicy yellowtail rolls and, wow, they were great.
I reluctantly ordered the basil fried rice with crab meat, my nerves caused by restaurants that have traditionally skimped on the crab in the past. However, I was pleasantly surprised at the ample portion of crab nestled in a bowl of delicious fried rice.
The food was great and the place looks like it is kept in pristine condition. I did get a really bizarre look from a bartender when I closed my tab after one beer, but otherwise, it was a very enjoyable night. -

Food was COLD! Staff was RUDE! Manager unapologetic to say the least!
Went on a Monday night, place was empty, three servers working but ours kept disappearing and forgetting things. Good food could have salvaged the meal but that's not what we got. -

OK so I went back and have to say that for drinks and a snacky poo or two, Mixx is great, but if you go for dinner, you end up hungry unless you order an extra side or two....which kind of defeats the low prices they promise...so I am taking away a star....
The food is still great, the service is superb, but I would stick to ordering off the appetizer menu and drinks...Listed in: Lunch in the Square

Just have to note again on the great experience I had at Mixx. Went there this past weekend for my bf's birthday. We had a party of 10 and every one of us expressed the same opinion of our experience. I just love the decor of this place- it's fun and playful for any type of party- couples, large groups, families, girls night out, etc. You can't beat the prices, especially for the quantity and quality of a mainline restaurant.
Key notes of the night were the $10 kobe beef sliders, an instant hit at our table. So juicy and topped with yummy carmelized onions. Another favorite is the tempura calamari- the roasted peppers are a nice change from the usual tomato or cocktail sauce that usually comes with this dish. All of our entrees were big in size and flavor. We had a variety of pizzas, pastas, and sandwhiches. There's something on the menu for everyone. Service was prompt and efficient also.1 Previous Review: Show all »

This place is great. Awesome happy hour mon-fri 5pm-7pm. Half priced apps... $3 drafts.. $4 house wines. They do a latin night on Wednesday.. from 8pm-9pm they teach you how to salsa dance with a great instructor. Then after that its on your own salsa dancing with a large dance floor and great lights. Friday nights are good for dancing also.. ages 40+ (no theme) just basic dancing. Great food .. its called Mixx for a reason.. you can get sushi, aisan food, or a good cheese burger. Bartenders are extremely nice and outgoing, and the waitstaff is quick. The place is also very clean.

I went here on a Saturday night with a few friends. We decided to get some sushi (which is made at Azie upstairs). We were all pleasantly surprised at the quality of the sushi. Also the sushi prices were very reasonable. In addition to our sushi, we had a few drinks and there was a live band playing. Although we couldn't hear very well because of the volume of the music, the band was pretty good. A few pitchers of Blue Moon later, I'd say my friends and I had an excellent time! I would definitely come here again with my friends for some drinks and good food.

We just had our daughter's wedding reception at Mixx and it was 5 stars +. The Event coordinator Allie and the rest of the staff did an incredible job of making it a wonderful night! They are usually closed on Sunday evenings and so we were able to book the whole restaurant. The ambiance is both casual and elegant- love the damask decor! The food was incredible- especially the Mongolian beef and the appetizers (Calimari and Potstickers) served hot and in generous portions. Everyone enjoyed the 3 different rooms- the dining area for relaxed conversation, the bar-- lots of seating and our favorite local beer and wine for a reasonable price!, and the dance floor at the front of the restaurant. It was a night to remember! Thanks for a great time- top notch service and delicious food!

Me and the fam first checked this place out during the first week they were open. Although the setting was gorgeous-- super luxe and trendy feeling, yet tasteful-- my expectations weren't that high considering the place was brand spanking new and the chefs probably hadn't had enough time to fully get everything down pat. Adding to the low expectations was the price point (I think the most expensive dish on the menu was around $10) and our very green waitress that although nice, didn't really have answers to any of our questions.
However, once the food arrived, I was happily surprised to discover my worried were completely unfounded, as the food was astonishingly good! My fried chicken was a little bit over-fried, but everyone else happily scarfed down their entire meals. My husband and daughter loved the filet & horse-radish sandwich, my son devoured his personal pizza, my other daughter loved her burger... and the hand-cut french fries were perfectly crispy. Everyone left full and happy, at a fraction of the cost we were used to spending. This was just a random family dinner on a weeknight, but the drinks looked great, as did the happy hour menu. ($3 for great sounding appetizers.) I hope that this place doesn't become a vomit-smelling college hangout, and I look forward to exploring and sampling more of Mixx's menu. -

We loved it when it used to be Mia, were disappointed when it closed. The new owners now offer, like Mia did, an upper scale dining in the upstairs floor and a sports bar atmosphere on the lower floor, called Mixx. Being from the West Chester boro, we have many sports bars, Mixx is a step up. We call it a sophisticated sports bar. Great atmosphere, big screen tvs everywhere, as we enjoyed the Philies game. Varied menu, reasonably priced. We enjoyed a delicious caesar salad, excellent salmon and delicious pasta bolognese. Highly recommend this restaurant.

OK for drinks, but I wouldn't eat there. Food was bad to mediocre.Serving staff did not respond to complaints. Soup was oversalted, steak on steak salad had mushy texture (marinated too long?) etc.

I normally don't write reviews however I felt that my evening last night at MIXX deserved a review. I went here last night for happy hour-this place made my evening. I meet up with a couple of friends and we really enjoyed ourselves. The food was a little bit of a wait however it was definitely worth it. We ordered a bunch of sushi and it was incredible. My favorite was the shrimp tempura roll. The staff were on point and very attentive. The manager was great he apologized for the wait and was extremely nice. We had a great time the food was definitely worth the wait! I will be coming back here again! I highly recommend this place!

I've come here a few times and am extremely pleased with the bartenders and servers here. They are very attentive to customers' needs and very fast. This is a great Happy Hour as well with changing drink and food specials. I will recommend this bar to anyone in the area looking for a better-than-pub-style bar.

Go for lunch M-F. Buffet is nice with a couple of my favorite menu items-Angry noodles, Emperor's chicken and spicy tuna rolls. Yum Price is right too.

Cool atmosphere, mediocre food. Fun for expensive cocktails and maybe some french fries, but the calamari was salted WAY too much, the steak on the filet mignon sandwich is tough and nothing to write home about. It took 15 full minutes until the waiter came to our table and the place was only 20% full. One appetizer, two drinks, one salad, and one sandwich was $50.

Went here with a group of 6. They take rezzies for groups of 8 and I had made one when we were going to be 7 (1 got sick and couldn't come). But we could have just been seated no problem. Was very surprised that at 8:45 on a Saturday it was not more crowded. The drinks list is impressive but they were oddly out of a lot of the ingredients. My rock candy drink came without the rock candy, and the server didn't say anything, just put it down; even though he knew that was part of why I wanted the drink. The martinis got screwed up too--which is the gin one? which is dusty and which dirty? One came with blue cheese olives and one didn't because they ran out of blue cheese. I had a good time b/c I was with my friends and it was my bday, but I'm not sure I'd dash back here. Maybe for a drink and snack... Fried chicken appetizer was apparently good (it's meant to share and is too big for one person). Calamari was OK. Hawaiian Butterfish was very nice though. Molten cake was a little molten but the rest of the cake was stone cold, which was odd. We had a nightcap at the bar, and by about 11:30 we'd closed the place down. Unfortunately, I think this resto is going to go the way of its predecessor Maia if they don't get some kinks worked out (dude, there's a Genuardi's 1/2 mile away--go buy some blue cheese) and drum up some publicity. Hidden behind the Citibank in 'nova, they ain't gonna get much foot traffic.

Supreme disappointment. Exceptionally poor service and average food. I came here with my aunt, cousins and one cousin's husband for his birthday dinner. Arrived at 6:00 p.m. There were two occupied tables in the entire place. We waited around 5 minutes before the waitress approached our table. She took our drink orders, then we waited 10 minutes before she returned with drinks (waters and soda) to take our appettizers. We ordered 5, which is good because she didn't tell us that the appettizers were tiny. We proceeded to wait another 25 minutes before finally stopping another waitress/busgirl/bartender to say that we would like to order and refill water. Another 5 minutes..the waitress returned and took our orders. Another 10 minutes...we got refilled water...another 35 minutes!, our entrees arrived. Again, very small portions. Stopped another waitress/busgirl/bartender to ask for drink refills. Another 5 minutes went by. After we all ate, we waited another 10 minutes and had to stop the waitress to tell her that we were done..waiting...a busboy came to clean the table. Dessert? Sure. Wait...we spent just under 2 hours for appettizers, entrees, dessert. All food was average, not good, just average. And portions were miserly. All the while, we witnessed the staff flying around one of the other tables (again, there were only 2 other tables occupied). My aunt asked the waitress/busgirl/bartender if they were perhaps, short-staffed. She responded, 'they are tourists,' which told us that we (locals) did not matter. Not cool. One bright spot, they have barrels stacked up against the walls, which I thought added a nice touch.

Came here a few weeks ago, and must say I was extremely disappointed with the entire experience. When we walked in, the place was empty aside from one other group of people and the staff, right there I knew it would be an interesting meal. We ordered our drinks soon after being seated and there were no problems yet, however that was short lived. One of my friends ordered a coke, it was discolored and tasted stale. The waiter took it back, but not without an argument about it's taste first. We ordered Nacho's and Wings as appetizers, and they were decent, barring the small portions. I ordered a burger medium well. When it came out it was medium, the service was bad enough I was hungry so I didn't want to send it back so I just ate it. It was mediocre at best. The bun was smothered in butter and didn't taste very good. With spotty service, poor attitudes, and mediocre food, I don't see myself at the Mixx anytime in the future
