While this place serves savory beef dishes, rich mashed potatoes, and creamy corn chowder, the thing I can't get past is that not only are the side dishes equal to the size of the entree, the side is either a heaping pile of steamed vegetable that comes without sauce or seasoning, or it's a salad that's been tainted with a cheap-o vinagrette. If I do decide to go back to Mimi's it will only be because I'm craving meatloaf and I'm low on options.
