| - You know it's going to be great when you walk in at 1pm on a Saturday and the hostess asks us if we want to sit at the bar in a restaurant that is not even that busy...
I've never been to Mimi's Cafe before so I'm not sure if this is normal. To me, it seems weird. Do I look like I need a drink?
We were thankfully seated at a table and given lunch/dinner menus, to our chagrin. I thought for certain we had missed brunch, but thankfully when we asked our server, she brought us breakfast menus.
My boyfriend ordered the brioche French toast and I ordered an omelette with potatoes and a muffin. Phew, that's a lot of food. The omelette was pretty good, but the potatoes were a bit forgettable. They seemed soggy, like they had either been sitting out for a while or cooked in too much oil. I tried a bite of the French toast and it was quite tasty-although too heavy for me. I guess that is to be expected from brioche so that's more about personal preference.
Overall, service was good. Our server was really friendly and helpful with the menu, and was prompt on refilling our coffees and waters. I wish more restaurants would just leave a whole pot of coffee at your table..or water. I drink water and coffee like it's going out of style but I digress. I haven't been to a place in recent memory that actually does that.
Price-wise, it seemed on par with a lot of places that I normally go to for brunch, however most of the places I go to aren't chain restaurants.
Overall, an a-ok restaurant. Not spectacular-but not horrible either.
