Mimi's Cafe - Fresno

I had the Lunch Trio. The Tomato Bisque Soup was outstanding! The Caesar Salad was excellent! And the Grilled Chicken on Ciabatta bread was fresh and flavorful. The waiter was very good and friendly but he was overworked. He apologized for the wait but he was attentive to our needs. (One waiter for the entire room probably due to being short staffed.My only issue is that Hostess made us wait in the lobby for 10-15 minutes while we sat in a 3/4 empty restaurant. Then she sat us at an empty table right in front of us that had been empty the whole time. Unreal! I was not pleased. I would rather wait at the table. Overall very good food and good service.

We had a late breakfast at Mimi’s today. It was super busy for Valentine’s Day so we chose to sit at the bar to avoid the wait. We were ok with the fact that we might not get the best service sitting at the bar. Chance was our server as well as the bartender and barista! He was attentive, awesome, efficient and personable. All this while he never stopped working for a moment! We were so impressed with him and all the staff there and the food was amazing as well. Highly recommend!!!

I have always loved Mimis breakfasts and lunches and my husband says their eggs Benedict is the best he has tasted here in our city. Their ice tea is fresh brewed the way I like not the soda fountain tea that some places have. Mimi's employees are always very polite and friendly. We enjoy great service and great food every time we go to this restaurant which is several times a month.

The wait staff are great, very friendly and attentive. However, a few things bothered me: 1) The restaurant has an old, sour, greasy smell when you first walk in, typical of other old restaurants I’ve been to; 2) The lunch meal I had was awful, a Quiche Lorraine. It is a ready-made frozen pie that the staff microwaved too long, making the crust along the edge hard and inedible and the crust on the bottom mush. Also, the wait staff didn’t ask what kind of dressing I wanted on my salad, and I forgot to ask, so I ended up with a salad smothered in cheap, gooey, inedible Italian dressing. 3) The decor in the entryway is old and beat up. A little furniture polish would go a long way towards improving first impressions.

Great breakfast! Had the corned beef hash and eggs and it was so good! The meat was superb. Service was really good and the coffee wasn’t bad either. I’d totally recommend this place to others to check out if in the area needing a good breakfast.
