   We had a delightful Valentine's anniversary dinner. The three-course meal options were great. Our server Tonya was terrific and recommended the best dessert!

   Excellent selection of meal , entree items. For the second time, salmon arrived well done, waiters dont ask how we'd like it done, my bias is medium rare, but not super baked; obviously the chef hasnt been to Alaska or to the Pacific Northwest to experience how to prepare salmon. Rest of appetizer and side dishes are fine, good sized servings. Will still go back, and work on the chef's to get them not to overdo the salmon.

   Four of us each ordered something different. My Cobb Salad- the lettuce wasn’t fresh and crisp. Limited tomatoes, eggs, etc. it did not look attractive when served. Tomato basil soup and quiche too salty. Hamburger a C minus. Dry. Two meals were served then 5 min before next two meals came out . Server was very nice. What a disappointment!!

   Great experience. Server was very attentive but not overly. Chicken and waffles was excellent. Will definitely return.

   We had an early dinner here with family and friends. We wanted a comfortable place where we could chat, laugh, and eat leisurely, and Mimi’s fit the bill. The food was delicious, and we liked the variety of options. Everyone treated us so well. We mentioned that our mother was turning 101, and they made our dinner very special with birthday candles and a bakery gift from our server. A very memorable afternoon!

    Upon entering the restaurant we checked in with the hostess, who told me I had to wait, she was fixing the menus. Then she took a phone call, went back to fixing the menus and finally assisted us. We were taken to a large room in the back, which had several unoccupied booths, but she sat us next to a booth that was occupied - it would have been nice to have some space. Our waitress was very good, however, the food sat so long all five dishes were cold upon arrival and no one ever came back to check on us until she had to go on her lunch break and brought us the bill. Mimi's used to be a family favorite. We won't be going back.
