While wait service has always been quite good here it's an unevenness in good prep that keeps them from being stand-out. Luckily on this visit the reason for our visit was the salmon & frites entree. On this occasion the portion of salmon was both moist and perfectly cooked. Their salmon prep while not always perfect has remained more consistent than that of the BJ's Brewhouse down the street. It was as hoped for with the only thing missing is that Mimi's could provide malt vinegar on the side or an available option. We brought our own to remedy that. About 3 years ago Mimis ceased offering their salmon w/ citrus salad that was so good, offering it instead with a less successful spinach salad mix, not nearly as good. It would be nice if that returned to their menu.
Our other entree was the steak & frites. The steak was cooked as ordered but was not one of their most tender we've had. There wasn't a lot of flavor to it despite the dollop of flavored butter on top, so some additional salt and just a dash of A-1 (which I normally don't use) were needed. Still, the meal overall was reasonable, rendered better by our use of the Buy one-get one free coupon we were armed with. We also took home a 4-pk of blueberry
Muffins for the next day's breakfast, and those muffins are unfailingly a great treat. We'll be back to Mimi's again but likely will stay away from their steak. They are not a steak house and I sometimes forget to account for that. They do have several savory items on board the menu to fill up on, & that's something else you can say for Mimi's....we always leave full.
