| - Mimi's Cafe...let me take a deep breath before I start.
My love for Mimi started in the 90's. She was a quaint old gal, that welcomed you into her place with open arms. She seemed so different than all the others with her unique decor and subtle touches. She had beautiful pink tablecloths for breakfast and black and white checkered tablecloths for dinner. She had fresh flowers at each table. Her staff was well trained, attentive and dressed in bright colored aprons. Her food was excellent and plentiful. She would include sliced oranges as a garnish for the breakfast plates. She had colorful plates, with different designs around the edges. When she put your plate in front of you, you would say 'wow'! I would visit her every chance I got, to try a different muffin every time and partake in the soup that warmed my soul. She was consistently great and I looked forward to seeing her every time.
However, Mimi was sold to a new ownership group and her charm did not come along...
The last time I visited my old gal, she wasn't as welcoming. She didn't have any table clothes covering her plain wooden tables. She didn't have any flowers on the tables. Her staff is dressed in all black and not as attentive or knowledgeable. Her food is average and scarce. She uses plain white plates, with no garnish alongside the food. When she puts the plate in front of you, you wonder why you gave her another chance. She is consistently bad and I can no longer watch her continue to decline.
If you do decide to visit my old friend, you may have a better experience, simply because you did not visit her in her prime.
The old Mimi's Cafe...she ain't what she used to be, many long years ago :-(
