Great location for a casual breakfast or brunch. The service is nice. The tables (without the expansion sides) are somewhat small, so the booths towards the interiors are reccomended.

Didn't enjoy the ambiance because there was a child playing on his device that had the volume on high. It was very annoying. I wish the server would have said something.

I used to love Mimi’s but the food was awful. $17 for a tiny salad with iceberg lettuce and minimal toppings. Never returning

Very nice lunch - hamburger was [surprisingly] cooked to order (rare)!! Rarely does that happen - pun intended. Fries were delicious, but could have been hotter. Fernanda provided excellent service.

Went for mother's day, it was very busy and they were having a hard time managing reservations. But overall, we didn't wait long, service was good and the food was very good as well. Try their muffins, they are the best.
