It's been a few years since I last visited so I thought it would be nice to give it a review. Sadly, things were not as good as I remembered. Came here after lunch hour on a weekend. It was expectedly empty, and service was a bit slow, also expectedly. I remembered being welcomed with a basket of warm, sweet, wheat bread before my main entree years ago. Nowadays, we were served hard, cold white bread along with my dinner entree. I didn't want anything to go wrong, so I ordered what my server recommended - slow roasted turkey. The stuffing was bland. The turkey was a bit dry. My mashed potato side was pretty good, and that I would recommend. My broccoli was room temperature cool. Overall, it was a quite disappointing experience. I had high expectations because of fond memories of this place. I hope it will be a better experience next time.

I got the Herb-Grilled Shrimp Pasta from the Summer Menu (Two grilled shrimp skewers, seasoned with fresh herbs and served over linguine pasta tossed with caramelized onions, mixed peppers, spinach, and parmesan in a tomato, basil, and Chardonnay sauce) with garlic bread. The shrimp and bread were good, but I thought the pasta was kind of bland and $20 was a little much. My Dad liked his Sante Fe Omelete without the tortilla strips (eggs, jalapenos, cilantro, tomatoes, onions, Monterey jack cheese, and chipotle sauce) and roasted potatoes. He also liked his Blueberry Crumble Muffin. I think the prices are high for what we got and I guess have gone up. My Dad and my Step-Mom are big fans of Mimi's Cafe and go all the time. Enough where some locations/waiters know them by name. The service was also unfortunately very slow this time.

The food took an extra long time to came out. Arrived very cold, but after already waiting a while we needed to eat. The toast needed some kind of jelly that wasn't offered. The seasonal muffin was warm but very dry. Overall 6 outta 10. Would probably give it another try for dinner.

This place was very disappointing. The menu looked so good but what you pay for is not what you get. I got the Chicken Cheddar Mac. I was really pump about this choice but what I got was not what the description said. The pasta was beyond salty and the cheese was definitely not cheddar. It tasted like American cheese almost like velveeta cheese. I had to leave it without eating much of it. $18.49 for a pasta entree that I could have done at home with much less salt. And the avocado side was like $3.00 for 1/4 of an avocado . 🤦🏻‍♀️ it really missed the mark. I don’t know what happened, most of the reviews here were good
