   We had a very good lunch. I like to thank my server Victor for his customer service. Always enjoy having lunch at Mimi's Cafe.

   I went for breakfast and I was very pleased with my meal. I had the Santa Fe Omlet and it was deIicious to me. I couldn't have ask for better service. My waitress Barbara Ana was wonderful. I was so happy with the service she provided. She was welcoming and she accommodated my party of six and gave us excellent service. I will be returning for lunch next time.

   Thanksgiving dinner was fabulous. Surprisingly delicious with homemade tastes. Our entire group of 10 was very happy with the meal. We will do this again.

   my family and i decided to dine here on thanksgiving and boy was it an experience. obviously going here on a national holiday, i came in with an open mind and not expecting much. but, what we experienced shouldn’t go untold. the host was really kind to seat us right when we got in, though we did make a reservation in advance. once getting seated it took our server around 15-20 minutes to get to us, and even then he only took our drinks not asking if we were ready to order (which we were). he also didn’t introduce himself or apologize for the wait. basically, we were waiting for him the entire time since it took him awhile to bring out our drinks and first course. when we had our server changed, since our previous one went on break, it was a much smoother experience. she checked up on us frequently, our entree came out quicker, and refilled our drinks once she noticed they were empty or half full. i feel like if we had her as our server in the beginning it would’ve been a smoother experience. i don’t think we’ll be spending another holiday here since this wasn’t our first time experiencing this.

   The service was horrible. The waitress came by our table 2x total. Once to take our order and the second time to bring the check. No refills. We had to take cutlery from an empty table next to us because she never came by.

   The manager and staff were extremely helpful and kind. We had 14 people and although several folks were late, the staff was hugely accommodating.The price, quality of food, and beverages was excellent.

   Worst experience ever. We didn’t get our drinks until an hour after we sat. Then it went further turn hill from that. Never again.

   Took over an hour to be seated even though we had reservations. The hostess was very rude with an attitude. She actually physically bumped into 2 different people in our party. The manager definitely doesn’t know how to manage customers on a special events day.

    Made reservations for Sunday, May 12th. Due to it being Mother’s Day, I expected some wait time but not a wait time of over 1 hour. The reservation system was poorly executed and planned. If they were not prepared to honor reservation, then don’t have them available. The restaurant also could have limited walk ins as tables needed to be available for reservations.
