We stumbled upon this quaint little restaurant on a late Sunday afternoon and were pleasantly surprised to find a function room attached for small gatherings. As someone of Portuguese descent, I always appreciate good ethnic cooking, and Cafe Mimo did not disappoint. I decided to try the special dish of the day: bacalhua with natas, a creamy cod fish in a rich cream sauce with diced potatoes baked in a traditional clay dish, accompanied by a crisp side salad. My husband opted for the Steak Mimo, a generous portion of tender steak in a flavorful gravy with sliced fried potatoes. Both dishes were absolutely delicious! For dessert, he enjoyed a decadent flan while I ordered Grandma's pudding to go. Our server, Kathy, added to the enjoyable experience with her vibrant personality. We can't wait to return to Cafe Mimo!

So I left shortly after, without dinner!!

My wife and I are open to trying new dishes and we have been enjoying many unique Portuguese delicacies that are promoted online daily and compliment their traditional menu choices. We both love seafood and for an appetizer we generally choose between Littlenecks with Garlic Sauce or Spanish Style, both are delicious! I have my go-to choices for an entree that I will mention first. Seafood Linguine, Seafood Mozambique, Baked Stuffed Salmon Baked Seafood Platter are each delicious and will satisfy my urge for a seafood dish. Each dish is made-to-order and if you would enjoy an adult beverage while you wait, they have draft beer, bottled beer, wine excellent cocktails that are all reasonably priced. I enjoy their Sangrias that add a generous scoop of diced fruit your choice of Sumol Sparkling Juice. Regarding the Baked Stuffed Salmon, ask for a side order of their Creamy Mozambique Sauce for an upcharge. You will not regret it. I dip the salmon vegetables in a cup of this sauce and I love it. You can order Chicken or Shrimp Mozambique dishes with the regular or creamy Mozambique Sauce and you will crave that sauce until your next visit. Restaurant Mimo features daily specials and authentic Portuguese limited or seasonal food items are featured. Their excellent friendly staff will provide you with answers to any questions that you may have about that, should you decide to explore food offerings that you haven 't experienced before. I enjoyed every one. My favorites included Lapas Mediterranean mollusks , Portuguese Goat Stew, Portuguese Tripe Bean Stew, they featured dry rubbed Grilled Ribs that were the best ribs that I have had in the area. We have become regulars at Restaurant Mimo on our mission to explore new dining experiences, and my wife and I are grateful that we did. They have off street parking behind the restaurant, but you do not have to feed the meters after 6:00 if you see an open space. I am certain that I will continue reporting on their other fine food choices in the future.
