Five stars for the food and our waitress! She was so prompt and was constantly checking on us! The host, on the other hand, was not listening. Asked for a high chair and he never brought it. The food here is superb! I ordered a ham and Swiss crêpe with the roasted potatoes! The potatoes are so amazing and the crêpe was perfect! Absolutely love this place!

We used to be big fans of Mimi’s. Unfortunately today our brunch did not meet our expectations. I ordered eggs benedict and the hollandaise sauce had no flavor. My husband ordered a cesar salad that was laughable for its skimpy portion. His rosemary chicken was overcooked and dry. To make matters worse, we waited an exceptionally long time to be served.

Great atmosphere and very central location. I wanted to get a combo with an omelette and pancakes, but they didn’t have one, so I went with the blueberry muffin(instead of pancakes). It was delicious, but would still prefer a pancake combo.

We came in at about 9 am wasn’t busy at all with 4 ppl. They sat us right away but once we were seated they took a good ten minutes before they asked us for our drunk order. Not the end of the world though… Then we ordered and when our food was brought out we had to send back 2 plates bc they were COLD. And one plate wasn’t finished yet. So one person had there food while the other three had to wait. Then the waiter said the manager would drop it off but the manager never came over. We didn’t ask for a manager but he is the one that offered it. Not to mention he never gave us refills without us hounding him bc he would drop off the plate then run away. Overall very bad experience. Will not go back. Plenty of other good quality breakfast spots. This was a NOGO. Waste of money.

Made reservations long wait, almost walked out a half hour after reservation, this place has gone down hill… The only good thing was the server I should’ve got her name. I will not visit here again had to ask for the right salad dressing not once but twice. Don’t waste your money. Also they tied to charge my kids adult prices no good and no way!

We ordered their Thanksgiving meal to take home(second year in a row), and this year I renewed my vow to never ever cook a full Thanksgiving dinner again! It was delicious once again, very reasonably priced, easy to heat up, the directions are well-written and easy to follow. The time, energy, money, and stress saved by ordering Mimi’s rather than cooking everything myself– priceless! The meal comes with turkey, stuffing, gravy, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, green bean casserole, cranberry sauce, little sweet bread cake things, and a pie. Everything was delicious. If you like to have dinner rolls or a salad with your thanksgiving meal, make sure to add that to your order. Oh, and make sure you have a roasting pan or something large enough to heat the turkey and catch all the juice and herbs de provence butter– yum! Once again, very pleased!

Disappointing from beginning to end. Tried to do an easy weekday dinner here. First off, parking is terrible. It’s near the mall so traffic is bad at that time of day, and there’s a yoga studio in the parking lot, so we were circling around for a long time before we could park. The service was bad — we hardly saw our waiter and had to flag down other staff to find him. The kids’ fries did not come out with their dinner, and when we finally got a chance to tell them about it, they brought them out 10 seconds later. Which of course means that they were sitting undelivered under the heating lamps for the last 20 minutes. I had the sole, and the flavor was good, but way too buttery, heavy and fatty. Yes, French food is often about butter and cream, but lemon butter caper sauce is supposed to be lighter and bright tasting. House wine at $ 5 a glass was acceptable. And my 8 yo’s review: When I ate their with my friend Mitchell, I ordered chicken fingers with fries. The bread was not that good. The chicken was OK, but it had way to much breadcrumbs. After I finished eating, we still had not got the fries yet. Then, we asked the waiter that our fries had not came yet. 3 seconds later he came back with the fries. They weren’t warm and tasted dry. It must had been sitting on the counter for 30 minutes. Ugh!Better luck next time!(If there IS a next time!)HAHA!

Attended a Paint & Wine event here and the service was horrible. Our party of 8 people were there for about 3 hours and the waiter came by about 3 times. We had to ask the paint teacher to ask if we can order food which we shouldn’t have had to do. When we finally ordered food, we never knew when it arrived because the waiter placed our dishes on tables about 10 ft away from where we were sitting. We were not impressed. The event itself was great but the location was horrible. Never again.

Hubby and I stopped in for lunch there was a brief wait for a table. Nothing we couldn’t handle. Our server Rachel was smiling, and very knowledgeable about the Specials. We decided on the warm Spinach Artichoke dip with the House Tortillas. Delicious! Hubby enjoyed the Chicken Cordon Bleu Sandwich and fries. This also comes with a cup of soup. I had the tomato basil bisque. It was okay, a little thicker than I like but the flavor was on point. Dessert was the Crème Brûlée Cheesecake! Creamy and decadent. Good thing we shared. Rachel insisted we take home two giant complimentary muffins to have with our morning coffee. What more could we ask for. I recommend this place for sure.

Terrible terrible terrible… Started with a drink at the bar which was great then it was all down hill from there. We sat outside and the 3 tables next to us sat un-bussed for 30min… When our waiter finally decided to show up we got drinks and they came out wrong. Starter was average but was the best of our meal. I chose to get the smoked salmon Benedict. Presentation was awful and looks like it was thrown together by a hungover cook. Potatoes were dried out and it was the smallest portion id ever seen. Left disappointed with food and service.

5 stars for Gerardo, he was our server :) we came here because my daughter haven’t had her breakfast. I’m glad we were not disappointed with the service Gerardo has given us. He was very attentive. He always make sure he refills our coffee. I asked for catsup and like speedy gonzales he gave me the catsup. If this is the kind of service that you get from the restaurants that you go to, like Mimi’s Café, then there’s no second thought of coming back again and again! :) good food and good customer service. Keep it up Gerardo!

Ok, I get it, Father’s Day, it might be a little crowed and slower than normal. But, 2 ½ hours for breakfast? Really? Pathetic. Mother’s day must really be a zoo. We had 11:00 reservations, were finally seated at 11:45. About 20 minutes after that the waiter brought us water and took our drink and coffee order. About 20 minutes later, the coffee arrived. About 20 minutes later, he took our our order. Then about another 40 minutes later, our food finally arrived. So, beginning to end, the whole ordeal took about 2.5 hours, given that we were optimistically 15 minutes early for our reservation. Not once in that time did the waiter express any concern for out plight, heck he did not even refill our water or coffee. I had to wander around to find napkins and silverware from other tables as they never brought us any with which to butter the rolls and nut bread. It was ok though as it kept my legs from falling asleep from sitting so long. To make matters even worse, the food was mediocre at best, not much better, if any than what you might get at Denny’s. Oh, did I mention that one member of the party never did get her whole meal? They brought her the pancake, but the rest of the meal never made it to the table. When the rest of us were finished, the waiter said hers was on the way, but at that point she declined as we were starting to get butt rash from sitting so long. Hopefully they do better on less busy days.

I really like this place for breakfast. It isn’t overpriced and they have some great deals going on almost always. Farmhouse tacos are delicious, that is usually what i get. The only con here is that this place gets pretty busy so it takes a while for the food to be ready. Coffee here is really good! and with most meals you get a choice of muffin/toast and potatoes. The potatoes and muffins are GOLDEN. Also a + is that the place has a lot of seating and a bar!

One of my favorite places to eat breakfast! The restaurant is beautifully decorated French Provential with Frank Sinatra music playing… They change the menu from time to time. I often order the eggs Benedict Florentine, but they got rid of that and have added a southwestern eggs Benedict. I’m sorry to say that the southwestern eggs Benedict was awful and I sent it back. I usually love everything at Mimi’s. They happily took it off the bill and offered to bring me something else instead. This is one classy place!

Came here for breakfast and it wasn’t too packed. Our hostess was very friendly and we were seated after waiting a few minutes. Our server was prompt and she answered questions we had about the menu. Our food came out within a reasonable amount of time. It was still hot and tasted good. Ordered a hot chocolate and it was pretty delicious. I really enjoyed the croissants too. They were warm and tasted fresh. There was a mistake with something in our order, but our server took care of it and ended up giving us free croissants to take home which I thought was a nice gesture. The décor and the atmosphere are nice. We were near a large group of rowdy senior citizens… I think they were having a weekly or monthly get together of some sort. I didn’t really mind the noise though because it seemed like they were having a good time. Overall, good food and great service. I would come here again.

Last Friday the group I am in called Moms Helping Moms had an event for breakfast at this location. The service was amazing for dealing with as many woman as they had to deal with. They had the area for our event ready for us when we came in and the woman that were taking care of all of us were very sweet and very patient.

Gotta try the chicken rosemary frita, if you want to live on the wild side ask for roasted/fried potatoes. So so good. The baguettes are to die for. Also very happy with the buy one get one entrée free coupon. Will definitely be back.

Not a terrible place to stop if you’re hungry while you’re in the area, but then, there are better options around, as well. We stopped in kind of late one week night, and after standing at the hostess stand for a few long minutes, we were finally greeted and taken to a booth near the bar. I was surprised by how different their menu was. It’s shrunk a lot since the last time we’ve been to Mimi’s(which, admittedly, was a long time ago). They still retained some of their normal items, but there were a few dishes that I looked for but couldn’t find. At any rate, we were there, and didn’t want to get up and leave, so we decided to go for it. I ordered a cup of the Tomato Basil soup and the Salmon and Frites(grilled salmon over spinach with fries on the side), while the hubs went with the French Onion Soup and a French Dip sandwich. Despite the fact that there weren’t many people in the restaurant that night, it took a bit of time for our food to come out to us. And when it did come(long after the free bread — rolls and some kind of carrot/raisin concoction) were all gone), I was a bit underwhelmed. I mean, the soup was delicious. It was probably the star of the show. And while there was a lot of food on the salmon and fries plate, nothing about it was spectacular. The salmon was overcooked, and it was slathered in this herb butter that mixed in with the cooked spinach and overwhelmed the fries, which ended up swimming in the mixture, as well. Alas, hungry as I was, I couldn’t bring myself to finish the dish. Kind of a waste. My husband did enjoy his meal, I think. At least, it seemed as though he did, because he finished a good deal of it. The waiter that night was friendly and efficient, so I can’t complain about that. But, for the quality of food, I think I’d rather spend my money elsewhere.

Wir waren auf der Suche nach einem Frühstückscafé. Durch Zufall sind wir auf Mimi’s Café gestoßen und waren vom Service, Preis-Leistungsverhältnis und Geschmack überzeugt. Als Deutscher hat man ja manchmal Probleme mit der Art, wie Amerikaner frühstücken, aber hier war alles in Ordnung. Sehr zu empfehlen.
