Mimi's Cafe

Sort and sweet. This is the only restaurant I have ever given a 5 star rating. I should note that now over time I have dropped that rating down to a four star. Still good, but not perfect. I have eaten here more than 100 times and only had two disappointments. Coming from a demanding SOB that's saying something. The two times I have had an issue with the food, the management has been right there and took care of it professionally and with humility. The food is consistent and nearly always perfect. The service is exceptional, even on occasion to be so good that you would think your in an exclusive restaurant. Sure there have been so so wait staff, but never rude or displeasing. The wait time is a bit long during Sunday brunch, but even with overworked cooks and wait staff, they pull it off so well and make the wait worth it. One item I have to suggest is the Spinach dip appetizer. Its always a comfort and delicious. Pros: Consistantly superior service, food and atmosphere Cons: Service issues on occassion, but taken care of by management more

I highly recommend for breakfast, although I have dined here for lunch and dinner too. They have a great menu for all times of the day. I usually get a french toast dish. They orange flavored french toast is great! They have wonderful pasta dishes too for lunch and dinner. The decor is fantastic. New Orleans style and French (obviously). It is a large restaurant with a lot of seating areas. Sometimes there can still be a wait though, especially for breakfast and lunch I have observed. They have a comfortable and sunny seating area for those who are waiting for a table, and they usually offer coffee or water and a cookie or pastry type of food to hold you over until you get to eat your real meal. The customer service is always good and the employees are always cheerful. A great place I must say again, expecially for a chain-restaurant. It has a pleasantness that you might only find in a local mom and pop type place. Pros: great food Cons: often a wait for a table more
