    The service wasn’t great. It felt rushed and the food was not the greatest.

    Low service rating referred to the hostess who checked us in. We arrived 10 before reservation, she couldn't locate it. Told us there would be a 15 min wait. She never acknowledged us again. 21 mins into the wait one of the waiters picked up 5 menus and took us to our table. The hostess was not cordial or friendly. Did not appreciate being ignored.

    I haven't been to Mimi's in a while. It was ok. The service was good but the prices seemed a bit elevated for the quality of the food. It's just so 90's.

    Without a doubt, the waiter, waitress and host were all 3 OUTSTANDING! They let us talk our heads off and didn’t rush us to order. The food was excellent (as always) and we stayed from 1:45 pm - 4:45 pm without interruption!

    They were understaffed. The server also had to be the bartender, which wasn’t his fault. But because he was overwhelmed with so many tables and areas, it took a long time to get our drinks, then to take our order and to even get our bill.

    I used to eat at Mimi’s all the time when I lived here. Now, the food is no longer up to par and the prices are astronomical. Not worth it.

    Our server was outstanding! She anticipated everything during our dinner! The sun was shining through the window door and she came over to tape menus over the window to block the sun!

    We walked in around 9ish for brunch. It was so quiet, I felt I needed to whisper, dreadful atmosphere. Coffee was sadly a push of a button in a machine & not nice. My omelet was okay but the potatoes cold. I wouldn't return.
