" The food was okay, but I felt it was a bit overpriced for what I received. The quiche that I ordered tasted a bit bland and the salad was very small. However, our server was friendly, which helped redeem the experience a little. I think I'll pass on returning anytime soon unless I hear improvements have been made. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a lovely dining experience! I took my parents here for brunch, and they thoroughly enjoyed it. They praised the chicken pot pie and how it reminded them of home-cooked meals. The atmosphere was lovely, with ample seating and warm decor, plus our server was so friendly, making everything feel special. I will definitely return to make more memories here! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had dinner at Mimi's and the meal was pretty decent overall. I ordered the turkey club sandwich, which was tasty, but I found the fries to be a tad soggy. If they could improve the fries, it would be a perfect meal. Service was friendly, and the restaurant has a nice layout. I’ll give it another chance. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a delightful dinner here! The ambiance is charming, with a bit of a rustic diner feel. I ordered their pot roast, which was delicious, though I wished the side portions were larger. The staff was friendly, and my drink was refilled promptly. It’s a solid restaurant if you're looking for comfort food in a relaxed setting. " (*Curated Review*)

" I tried Mimi's for the first time and was amazed by the menu variety! I went for their seafood chowder, which was lovely, but I found the texture a bit off. My server was fantastic, very engaging and prompt. The atmosphere was bustling but also inviting. Overall, a solid experience, although there is room for improvement on some dishes. " (*Curated Review*)

" First time visiting Mimi's and it definitely won’t be my last! The menu has so many options, I had a hard time choosing. I finally went with their famous French toast, and I was blown away by the taste. Perfectly fluffy and deliciously sweet. The service was quick and attentive, and the ambiance was cozy. I left with a big smile on my face. " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't express enough how much I love Mimi's! The breakfast selections are heavenly, and their service is top-notch! During my last visit, I tried their steak and eggs, which was perfectly cooked. The dining space has a charming, relaxed vibe which adds to the experience. The value for the quality of food and service is unparalleled. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)
