" I must admit, our experience at Mimi's was somewhat disappointing. Despite having heard great reviews, I found the service to be lacking. Our waitress seemed overwhelmed, and it took quite a while for our food to arrive. The food itself was hit or miss; my ribeye steak was overcooked and lacked flavor. I had expected better, especially given the prices. However, my daughter did enjoy her chicken and waffles, so not all was lost. I appreciate the ambiance, but until the service improves, I might reconsider my visits. " (*Curated Review*)

" Mimi's Cafe continues to be one of my go-to spots! I love their pasta - always cooked to perfection! My partner got the crab cakes, and they were delicious as well! Darlene was our server again and she is an absolute gem. Great food, good atmosphere, what's not to love? I will always recommend this place for its delicious dishes and friendly services. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really looking forward to my visit, but it didn't exactly meet my expectations. The atmosphere was cozy, but unfortunately the food was lukewarm when it arrived, and I found it bland. The salad was okay, but didn't stand out either. Our service was good though! Perhaps it was just an off day, and I might give it another shot soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" My friends brought me here as they rave about the breakfast! I ordered the pancakes and they were fluffy and delicious. The cafe was bright and had a nice atmosphere. The service was good, but I felt like they could have been more attentive given that it wasn't busy at all. Overall, I enjoyed my meal, and I would love to come back and try more options from the menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" The staff deal with unorganized tables and chaotic orders; I feel really bad for them. However, my food was not the best either. The fish was overcooked and had no flavor at all. On a more positive note, the restaurant has a cozy vibe but seriously needs improvements in the kitchen. Let's hope my next experience will be better! " (*Curated Review*)

" It’s been a while since I've visited, and it still has that lovely charm! I tried the French onion soup again, and it did not disappoint. Perfectly baked with lots of cheese! Our server Luca was attentive, which was a relief. Overall, it felt like a homey place where you can truly unwind. I will not wait this long to come back next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" We tried Mimi's Cafe for a quick lunch last week, and it was an enjoyable experience. The portions were surprisingly generous for the price. I got the turkey dinner, which was cooked well, and the cranberry sauce was delicious! The atmosphere was cozy, and our server was super friendly and attentive. I would absolutely come back, especially for the mimosas! " (*Curated Review*)
