| - First time visiting Mimi's Cafe in a while. I was excited because the last time I went there I loved the food (especially their zucchini sticks).
Tonight we were sat down, and it seemed like the menu had changed a lot (I could be mistaken).
Anyway I ordered the a French Quarter burger with extra dressing on the side and my friend ordered the Chicken Cheddar Mac. We recieved my food and I was very unimpressed. There was a side of dressing, but zero on the burger.
So I took a big bite (i didn't know at the time there wasn't any dressing) of a VERY dry burger (like even if the dressing had been on there it still would have been dry) plus the the bread was soggy and the pieces of avocado was only placed on one side of the burger (doesnt make for any kind of cohesive bite). It was almost like it had been sitting out for a bit... My friend liked her chicken cheddar mac, but did say the sauce was REALLY thin.
I explained to our waitress, Katie, and she offered to find something else I liked. So I looked at the menu and just picked whatever I had read before bc I felt like I was on the spot because she was waiting there and I just got the menu. So, I ended up get the Turkey Pesto Ciabatta sandwich. Again, not worth the money. There was absolutely no pesto and it (I cook w pesto a lot) looked like they used just plain mayonnaise which was another big disappointment. The sandwich was mediocre at best. Something I could whip up in 3 minutes. I ate about a 1/4 of it and then took it to go. The only thing they had going for them on that plate was the fresh fries (although they were not at all salted).
Unless we have a coupon or someone drags me here I wont be coming back. It's just mediocre food that's over priced.
On a lighter note though, our waitress Katie was polite and did try to make it better. My only issue with her was that I asked if I could replace the fries with zucchini sticks, to which she said I dont know and didn't even bother checking. Even if there was a price difference I would have been Ok with that, but she did nothing to find out or help. The, I'm assuming here, supervisor was nice and did ask to see how my meal was going after I had the replacement.
Basically, not a stellar experience. Disappointed with tonight's dinner.
