I used to be a fan of Mimi's Cafe. I loved the ambience of the restaurant and the casual atmosphere was great for getting together with one or several people. Over the years, however, Mimi's seems to have gone stale in terms of quality. The food isn't nearly as interesting as it used to be, the portions are smaller, and you have to practically beg your server for a small basket of bread to snack on before your paltry dish arrives. Although the Chocolate Chip Pecan Pie remains one of the richest desserts I've ever tasted and an impressive earmark in the menu, Mimi's lacks the savoir faire it had when it first opened its doors.

Mimi's s GREAT. A nice meal including soup or salad at a very reasonable price. Delicious onion soup. A huge selection of entrees, salads, sandwiches. Excellent quality and good service. A popular place, so expect a wait, but it moves fairly quickly. Can be a little noisy when full, but nothing like a lot of restaurants.

The food isn't striking, but it's like a high class denny's with out the drunks. The service has always been great.

Good food! Nice menu selection. Iced tea, bread basket, and salads are very tasty. Salmon...so-so.

Another chain restaurant and yet, not just any chain restaurant! I adore Mimi's, their food is always wonderful to me. I have been to a lot of actual french restaurants and had thier French Onion Soup but for my money Mimi's still has the best! I always go and get the soup and half cobb salad and am stuffed by the time I leave...and that is usually WITHOUT eating the huge muffin that comes with it. (I save it for my boyfriend for a snack!) Breakfast is also wonderful and their salmon is delicious. Save room for dessert! I typically eat at the Alta Arden location but find that Mimi's are consistently good anywhere you go.
