   Max our server was excellent. We arrived 15 minutes early for our 830 am reservation and we were seated immediately which was great. Food was delicious and service was great. We were party of seven including two four year olds and our server was very good with the children. Overall a wonderful Sunday morning family breakfast experience!!

   Our experience on Mother's Day was awful. I had a reservation for 11:45 for brunch. We walked into the lobby of approx 30 people waiting. After getting to the hostess stand, we were told that the wait was going to be 15-30 minutes because the kitchen was behind, even with a reservation. I looked out into the restaurant, and there were at least 5 tables open and they were not seating people. After about 5 minutes or so, another male came out to the lobby and announced that they will no longer be serving from the regular menu, and that brunch was no longer available, and they were going to the Holiday menu. This Holiday menu was very limited and had more "dinner like" options. At that point, we didn't wait long enough to even get a table. We left the restaurant disappointed for many reasons. We will never go back to any Mimi's Cafe after this awful experience.

   Service was terrible. Hostess was rude. It was a very busy day and he may have been overwhelmed. We sat for 15 min with no greeting, no drink order. When I was finally able to stop someone and ask for a menu I was told they ran out of breakfast food and were serving only certain items. Something that should have been told to us before being seated. Horrible experience.

   I booked a brunch reservation for 11am, but when we got to the restaurant, the staff were very behind on reservations and they did not seem to be very organized with their reservation system. My family was seated 45 minutes after our reservation time (many other families just cancelled their reservations and left). once we were seated, our waiters were great and the food was good, I just wish that the reservation and seating process was more organized. sitting down 45 minutes after our reservation time is ridiculous.

   We had to walk away as the restaurant was understaffed and the wait time was too long.

   Mimi's is usually tasty and has good service, unfortunately on Easter with our table that was not the case.

   My wife and I went to this Mimi's for breakfast today. Most everything was horrible. I ordered a 3 meat omelette that was crusty brown on the outside. To say it was overcooked is an understatement. I ordered fruit instead of potatoes and the fruit (Pineapple & Strawberries) was warm and sour. Pretty bad. My wife ordered two fried eggs, bacon and fruit. Eggs were a bit overcooked, brown crusty outside, 1/2 of the bacon was extremely fatty and her fruit (Cantaloupe & Strawberries) was warm, sour and the cantaloupe had a weird hot, spicy flavor to them. She sent them back and the replacements were just as bad. Then they wanted to charge an up charge to substitute the potatoes with the crappy fruit. Mimi's has gone down hill since they sold out years ago. Will not be visiting Mimi's anymore. I suggest going somewhere else to eat if you want decent food and service. One server was clearly sick and was rubbing her nose with both of her hands and then handling coffee mugs, coffee pots, silverware and other items without washing her hands. Disgusting!!!

   Chicken breast was very dry. But French onion soup is always the best.

   Food was great & considering the horrendous crowd for Thanksgiving I thought it was extremely well managed.

    We had someone with a nut allergy and the manager went out of their way to make a separate plate which was much appreciated. Lovely service over Thanksgiving.
