| - Wow. I've got to update my review. We went to Mimi's Cafe for breakfast for the first time in quite some time. So many things have changed, and I'm not just talking about the revised, blander menu.
We went on Memorial Day, a Monday, at around 9:30 a.m. It wasn't very busy yet, so we were seated right away (by our server, in fact; I guess there was no host on duty yet). There were tables scattered here and there with people, but nothing significant.
Our server was great. He was very friendly and attentive...at least until it was time for the check and he was overwhelmed with the now-crowd of diners. It looks like the kitchen and management are where the problems lie. For breakfast, it took wayyyyyy too long for us to get our food (between 30-45 minutes), especially when the restaurant was not yet crowded. We never once saw a manager; nobody when we walked in or out or walking the dining room to apologize for/correct the food delays. And, sadly, the food was just average. Gone are the days when a Mimi's breakfast stood out from the crowd. My ham and cheese omelet was nothing special and looked sloppily assembled. We could/should have just gone to IHOP for better, quicker food.
On a related note, it seems the Mimi's Cafes I used to go to in Orlando have closed due to poor service and a decline in food quality. It looks like Charlotte's is not far behind. We won't be back.
p.s. The free wi-fi never worked for me either, which I wouldn't have noticed except we waited forever for our food.
