Customer Reviews
They are known for breakfast but my wife and I love dinner here when we need a quiet night. The food is always solid, though the menu is not spectacular and the food itself isn't prepared or served special - we expect a 4/5 and we always get it, so no complaints. The servers here are always so kind and down to earth. Their smiles are believable and they genuinely engage. We always have outstanding service. We love Mimis!
I stopped by Mimi Café on a Sunday morning and was promptly seated. It had been a while since my last visit, especially since they closed the one near my home. The service was excellent, and the restaurant, including the bathrooms, was clean and well maintained. The food was delicious, and our server highly recommended the seasonal muffin, which did not disappoint. There was also plenty of parking available. I highly recommend Mimi Café for a delicious breakfast
I had a pleasant breakfast/lunch with an old friend. We took forever to order bc we were too busy catching up. Our server was completely understanding and didn't make us feel rushed. The food was great, as usual. Everything was perfect.
Hadn't been at Mimi's for a long time, after a hospital visit we ended up here. The food was delicious, the service was very nice and the atmosphere actually hadn't changed in all those years. It looked clean and well kept. The nice part is that they serve cocktails, so you can hang out at the bar, waiting for the food to be served. I was driving, so I opted for a cappuccino, the best I ever had, almost like a soup bowl full, yummy. We will definitely come back, we rediscovered Mimi's again. By the way the onion soup is delicious 😋
Service was fine enough, seemed slightly slow for an almost empty restaurant but fine. Food was questionable at best, fries and baked potato were the only items that weren’t off putting. Chicken tenders were overcooked, chips were stale, artichoke dip tasted dirty and old. My French dip sandwich’s meat was grissly and flavorless, definitely not worth the money. My wife’s fish for her fish and chips was overcooked and scorching hot as if it had been microwaved, like pretty much everything that came out. The atmosphere was also completely off as either a server or bartender was being extremely loud and interrupting our server mid conversation with another guest. Overall pretty much a joke, not worth your time or money.
