Read everyone else's review if you want the "I know it's a chain but..." I do really like Mimi's Cafe! I come here only 2-3 times a year, but my feet hop-skip-to-it when it does.
1. Love their carrot raisin bread (google it, you can make it too)
2. When I'm ill, sometimes I only want to eat is their french onion soup and the white rolls dipped in it
3. When I'm craving liver (heckle me, it's ok)... well this place wins as a default cuz who else serves it?!
4. Brunch is great especially for the money (last time it came with fresh squeezed OJ)
5. Just tried their $9.99 Lunch 2-course menu, the grilled shrimp and asparagus was very good. Beat my expectations!
