Some friends and I were going to have a dinner together and decided to go to Mimi's Cafe, a restaurant that had recently opened that none of us had been to before.
There was complementary hot cider for guests that were waiting on tables along with a coffee cake/strudel type pastry. We were seated quickly. They have a wonderful selection of dishes that are reasonably priced. Most were around $10.00 give or take. I am not sure why BBQ Ribs were listed with "seasonal" dishes though. Anyway, they bring a bread basket out to your table as alot of restaurants do. There was a small French or Italian type loaf and some slices of a carrot/date/walnut type bread. The small loaf bread was good once you got inside it. The crust was VERY HARD. We joked that we needed a reciprocating saw to slice it. The carrot/date/walnut bread was DELICIOUS! Even my 4 year old liked it, now that is saying something! The food came out fairly quick and was very good. I ordered the crab cakes (2 of them) with vegetables (squash, broccoli,...), rice, and a small cup of soup. The rice I gave to my daughter because she loves rice LOL. (I got it just for her even though she ordered a meal for herself off the kid's menu) I did taste the rice and some of it was a little hard from sitting out and it tasted a little bland for me. I was more than full from the bread, soup, and part of my crab cakes and veggies. Oh yes, there was also some homemade type slaw with it. I had to bring half or so of the food home! (everyone did, even the men that were with us) Needless to say I did not try their desserts even though the pineapple cake sounded very tasty.
Overall it is a good place to eat.
