Mimi's Cafe

We visted Mimis cafe last week (Demeber 2011) and had a pretty good experience there. The staff were... more

This place is awesome- it has fantastic food and is a great place to hang out with your friends. They also make fantastic coffee beverages and hot chocolate (surprising, since it's not something they are known for) Pros: food;atmosphere;breakfast Cons: only serves breakfast until 4 pm more

I went here after seeing their spinach artichoke dip featured on Food Network. I was extremely dissapointed in the dip as well as my meal. Nothing looked, smelled, or tasted apetizing. It was all a greasy mess. Too much cheese, oil, and fat, and very lacking in flavor. On top of that our waitress was very inattentive. We sat trying to get her attention for a very long time before we were able to order, before we got the check, before she picked up the check, etc. Pros: Nice decor, great muffins Cons: slow service, heavy greasy food, overpriced more

I have been to Mimi's several times, and I leave happy every time. The decor is fun and relaxing. It claims to be Cajun, but come on. I haven't had real Cajun cooking in Nashville save for my uncle's kitchen. It is more Cajun-inspired. Great but not Cajun. I love the sweet breads that come before your meal. My favorite entree so far is the veggie ciabatta. It was packed to the gills with zucs, squash, onion, peppers, and pesto. I really liked that it had pesto instead of some weird mayo. It wasn't drowned in cheese either. I have also had a couple pasta dishes. Good, but nothing that wowed me. Kids meals are fabulous. I got my daughter the soup and salad from the kids menu. She got french onion soup, a side salad, and whole wedges of melons and fresh pineapple. That would have been plenty for me. Their desserts are good as well. I have a thing about bread pudding, and theirs was the best I've tasted in a restaurant. Pros: great variety, fun atmosphere Cons: a little pricey more
