We were a large party with 8 adults and 5 children, so again, I went in not expecting greatness, but at least hoping for competent service and decent food. We received neither.
The 1 star is only for the poor waitress who wound up getting our party after the original server was either cut or moved to another section. She tried really hard and she was pleasant.
The original server was put off by the fact we asked for regular menus. She told us "You can order anything off the menu, but it will take a lot longer to come out if it's not on the "special" Mother's Day menu." Really? In my only other experience with a restaurant on a special occasion (Thanksgiving 2017), that establishment's attitude was "Of course, you can get anything you want.". On that day, pnly 2 in our party chose from the holiday menu and that restaurant was still able to get all of our food out at the same time, at the correct temperature and tasting delicious.
We sat for a long time with empty glasses. No one came by to offer refills. Finally, the new waitress who took over our party was able to get us tea and soda refills. The sad thing is, the restaurant really wasn't that busy (probably should have been a good clue that we should try someplace else).
When the food finally arrived, there were many things wrong. My mother-in-law's salmon was completely uncooked. I joked if she wanted sushi, I'd have gladly taken her up the street to my favorite sushi spot. My mother's turkey royale sandwich was served on bread that was probably baked around Christmas time. It was completely stale and dried out. My french dip sandwich didn't contain roast beef at all, but rather 2 small sad slices of mystery meat and 1 slice of burned bacon. Neither of these proteins should EVER appear on a french dip sandwich. I didn't bother to sample the mystery meat, it was a grayish-tan and probably either pork or turkey. The sandwich was also haphazardly thrown together.
As a family, we'd been going to various Mimi's locations in 3 different states for over 20 years. Sadly, after this visit, I will not be going back (we also had a similar poor experience at a Mimi's in California in November 2017). There are just so many better places.
