We had an early dinner here with family and friends. We wanted a comfortable place where we could chat, laugh, and eat leisurely, and Mimi’s fit the bill. The food was delicious, and we liked the variety of options. Everyone treated us so well. We mentioned that our mother was turning 101, and they made our dinner very special with birthday candles and a bakery gift from our server. A very memorable afternoon!

Came in on a Taco and Tequila Tuesday with a great special featured tequila from Dobel. This was a great night for quieter dining -- no big crowd or music -- but still great food and service, plus got to try the new Crystalino from Dobel that is very smooth and got deals on cocktails made with it too. We could easily converse at our table and enjoy ourselves with good food and drink. What is not to like about that ?
