Manuel is amazing!Came in and Manuel was our server. We had a couple questions and he answered everything with patience and thoroughly. When the food came out it was great and he made sure everything was exactly how we wanted it. He came back very often to make sure our drinks were full and if we needed anything else. I always get great service here. Thank you guys. That is why I keep coming back here.

Unimpressed.Came here for brunch and 2 of the 3 of us did not like it.I had the chicken and waffles and they literally looked like frozen waffles with 2 overcooked and thin chicken patties.Service was excellent. Drinks, not so much. Nonetheless, I'll give it another try to sample their dinner menu.

Decided to skip the cooking this year for Thanksgiving and let Mimi's Cafe handle it! In short, it was the best decision we made. The fixed 3-course Thanksgiving menu was absolutely delicious. It started off with an option between 2 salads or soup. Then came the main course which included turkey, gravy, stuffing, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, and cranberry sauce. Dessert was also included with a choice between pumpkin pie or pecan! Wonderful service and staff! I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a homey vibe and a fun dining atmosphere.

I've been coming to Mimi's since I was a kid but this last time was sadly my last. We came on a Sunday, which places like Mimi's tend to be busier. We were a party of 6 and were sat in the back room with another party of at least 14 people. It was about 30 mins before the waiter came to take our order and another 45 minutes for the food to come out. In the mean time, we asked another waiter for water. He told us he couldn't get it for us but would tell our waiter...no waters ever came. We watched someone else we know arrive 10-20 minutes after us, order, get their food, and finish before our food even came! I felt bad for our waiter. He was running around and seemed like he needed help but there was no one to help. I don't know if the restaurant was understaffed but it was odd how long it took for our food to come. Definitely was not the best experience. I think the most frustrating thing was the lack of attentiveness and how long the food took to come out.

Went to the Mimi's Cafe in Tustin a while ago and hesitated to write this. I ordered the turkey dinner and the stuffing was spoiled and was hideous. They only offered me a 20% discount when there was no way I could eat anything on that plate after that bite.

It's been a while since I've been here. And I won't be back anytime soon. The service was terrific. He was friendly and professional. However, the grilled salmon was overcooked and flavorless, and the rice melody was basic white rice with no flavor. The au gratin potatoes and side Caesar salad were pretty good. The meal, a lemonade, and dessert were about $45. I was very disappointed with my entree, and it certainly wasn't worth $21 (including side salad).

I want to start by saying that my review would be a 2.5-2.7 if those options were available to me. But there was nothing so egregious about the experience to mark it as a 2, so I rounded up to a 3 star.This was my second time back post-Covid. The first time, we ended up not being seated as they wanted to put us next to a large table of very loud women that had just come from church. They were all so loud and rude, like they had never learned how to use their "inside" voices when others were around. After looking at the faces of other diners in that section who were already clearly annoyed as well, we asked to be sat on the 17th Street side of the restaurant, not the side that is closer to the Cooking Lab next door. We were told that it would be a 30-40-minute wait to sit on that side because they were short staffed. So, we walked out to try again another day. Seems like them being short staffed is a common theme in a lot of the reviews, especially since 2022. I would think that they have had 2 years to fix that.Back to today, got seated, again not on the 17th Street side, but it was much quieter and reasonable today. Got there before the church crowds. Restaurant was clean, staff greeted us and got us coffees and waters right away. Decent selection on the breakfast menu and prices were reasonable. I had the bacon, mushroom and brie omelet with crispy potatoes and a blueberry muffin. My wife had the corned beef hash, crispy potatoes, toast, and over easy eggs. Please see the photos that I took for reference. What I did not like about my breakfast was that the omelet sounded amazing on the menu. When I got it, the spinach was part of the omelet, the mushrooms were folded inside, but the 2 small bacon and the brie was only laid on the top. It wasn't really a part of the omelet. The bacon should have been crumbled up and either in the eggs themselves or inside the fold. And the brie was absolutely laughable. Two super tiny slices laid on top, none on the inside. Can you spare it? And overall, it was like there was literally no flavor to the omelet. Would it kill you to use a little seasoning? Potatoes were ok, but no seasoning. Blueberry muffin was good but microwaved to make it warm. It gave it a spongy, balloon type texture, not crumbly like you would expect a muffin to be. The toast had no butter on it and was ice-cold. The server did a good job of replacing it when we informed them, but again, no butter on it. Most places you have to ask for it dry if you want it that way. Here it seems to be the default. The corned beef hash was a good quality, but it also was cold. The over-easy eggs were spot on though. It appeared they didn't get everything on the plate at the same time before serving. They made the toast first, waited 5 minutes to put the corned beef hash on the plate, waited 5 more minutes for the potatoes to be done and then remembered to put the eggs on at the last minute. Very disjointed and not cohesive. Some warm, some cold.It seems that Mimi's has really fallen down on the overall dining quality from their glory days of being a great place to go. Super sorry to hear that as I had always considered them to be wonderful choice. But it seems that a lot of other reviewers feel the same way, just look at the ratings. Hopefully they can steer the ship back into smooth waters and make a concerted effort to be a terrific experience for diners again. Hope this helps.

My mother and I like to sit at the bar because when Erin is working we get the best service ! We've sat at tables and every time our servers have been either very slow or even ignoring us ! She's always very nice & efficient !
