    The food was delicious! I've never had a grilled cheese sandwich with enough cheese before! Our server, Stephany, was wonderful. She was attentive to our needs. And she went out of her way to make sure we knew about the upcoming specials.

    If I have a complaint it is that the deserts look delicious but $8 for cake and ice cream is a bit much. The food prices were not as outrageous.

    This Mimi's has kind of dropped somewhat in the last several months. We liked to go here, and it was still good, but... it just wasn't as good. We had to ask for a basket of bread to be brought to our table, they used to bring it automatically. I had the Salmon grilled on a bed of rice and vegetables and it was good.

    The waitress was alone in the dining room and was very busy, but the service seems to have gone down some.

    We will try again soon and see if they just had an off evening.

    Mimi's leveled up long ago. This place used to just be an OK place to get some straight forward cafe style food. The offerings have improved over the years. I used to just play it safe and order a French Dip.

    Last month I tried the Smoked Salmon, and found myself, who would have thought, pleasantly surprised. Each bite of salmon contained the same splendor of flavors. I must emphasize that the fish itself is the jewel of the dish. The three eggs were just alright. They were properly cooked but not remarkably fluffy or seasoned in any perceptible way. Would that were more cloud-like in shape and texture.

    I don't recollect touching the potatoes. The salmon simply tasted far too good, and I could not possibly risk diluting the fishy, meaty nuances of the exquisite salmon. Not to say the potatoes were bad; they could not outshine the seafood though.

    The only other notable aspect of the experience was a painting in the dining area. It depicts a pajama clad man in the middle of a party or dining area who appears to be fanning himself with a giant feather fan. A lack of details in the fan interested me. The fan resembles a cloud of smoke rather than the feather fan. So the man appears somewhat obscured by the fan. I wonder why the artist did not paint a smidgen more detail into the feather fan.

    I recommend the salmon here--literally. Well worth the wait and the taxing stare into the confusing painting of the fan holding the fan, smoke, er, cloud of whatever.

    I've been a steady customer of this particular location for the last 6 years. While the offerings on the menu have had their ups and downs over the years, the service has always been excellent.
    The wait staff are all friendly, attentive, professionals that provide an enjoyable dining experience, especially Stephany. Be sure to ask for her on your next visit!

    We love this Mimi's for dinner.
    We had breakfast there today with subpar service. We sat at table 112/1 at 09:23. It took 4 tries to get my husbands order correct. Then the bill was wrong twice. My husband just left a low tip (which he never does) to let our server know.
