This was my first time at Mimi's and I was rather hesitant after reading other reviews. My experience was pretty good. The decor was nice (had a New Orleans vib) and the staff was friendly.
When were first arrived there was no one at the host stand and had to wait about 5 minutes for someone to arrive. They first tried to seat our group of 7 at a booth made for about 5-6. We requested another table and were told it would be about another 10 minutes to get it ready. Once we were seated the waitress arrived quickly and was very friendly. She got us drinks and blueberry muffins which were amazing. They were light and fluffy and were a pretty good size.
The entrees were average. I ordered the grilled salmon with spinach and roasted potates. The piece of salmon was a great size for the price ($12) on a nice bed of spinach. My only complant about the potatoes were that some were still hard in the middle while others fell apart but they did have a great flavor. However, the sauce that the dish came with was horrible. My boyfriend and I couldn't place the taste but both agreed the dish would be better without it.
At the end of the meal the waitress cleared our plates and said she'd be right back with the check. About 10 minutes later she still wasn't back. We could see her busing and running food to other tables and talking to people in the kitchen so we were confused as to why we fell to the bottom of the priority list.
I would go back to Mimi's for the atmosphere and to try other items on the menu. Definetly a good place for a cheep date night.
