Thanksgiving dinner was fabulous. Surprisingly delicious with homemade tastes. Our entire group of 10 was very happy with the meal. We will do this again.

my family and i decided to dine here on thanksgiving and boy was it an experience. obviously going here on a national holiday, i came in with an open mind and not expecting much. but, what we experienced shouldn’t go untold. the host was really kind to seat us right when we got in, though we did make a reservation in advance. once getting seated it took our server around 15-20 minutes to get to us, and even then he only took our drinks not asking if we were ready to order (which we were). he also didn’t introduce himself or apologize for the wait. basically, we were waiting for him the entire time since it took him awhile to bring out our drinks and first course. when we had our server changed, since our previous one went on break, it was a much smoother experience. she checked up on us frequently, our entree came out quicker, and refilled our drinks once she noticed they were empty or half full. i feel like if we had her as our server in the beginning it would’ve been a smoother experience. i don’t think we’ll be spending another holiday here since this wasn’t our first time experiencing this.

The service was horrible. The waitress came by our table 2x total. Once to take our order and the second time to bring the check. No refills. We had to take cutlery from an empty table next to us because she never came by.

The manager and staff were extremely helpful and kind. We had 14 people and although several folks were late, the staff was hugely accommodating.The price, quality of food, and beverages was excellent.

Took over an hour to be seated even though we had reservations. The hostess was very rude with an attitude. She actually physically bumped into 2 different people in our party. The manager definitely doesn’t know how to manage customers on a special events day.

Made reservations for Sunday, May 12th. Due to it being Mother’s Day, I expected some wait time but not a wait time of over 1 hour. The reservation system was poorly executed and planned. If they were not prepared to honor reservation, then don’t have them available. The restaurant also could have limited walk ins as tables needed to be available for reservations.

Reservations were booked for 11 we were not seated until 12. Understanding it was busy and it was Mother’s Day. It seemed like too many reservations were taken or walk-ins were being taken and priority was not given to reservations. When we asked the hostess, what was going on? When we host, she replied with attitude and asked what we wanted her to do about it. She can’t just tell people to leave extremely unprofessional when we were. We were given a dinner menu and told that this is the only thing that we could order from around us, people were still being served food, which is what we made a reservation for, it was not until we got up and did say that we can still take breakfast orders. The waiter was slow because of how packed this place was. I love Mimi’s but honestly, this turned me off to going again on Mother’s Day Mimi mismanaged.

Had a great experience booking the private room for my daughter's 6th bday. I worked with Veronica and she was very responsive and accommodating. She even helped me untangle my daughter's balloons when a wind gust tangled them up. She didn't have to do that but was very patient and helpful. She also called me a few days later to tell me that we forgot a birthday card with cash. Would book again in a heartbeat! The food was also delicious. Everyone enjoyed their meal and it was Mother's Day weekend which made it even more impressive since they were very busy. Kudos to the staff and chef. It did take a little bit to get our orders in but we were a large group and it was a holiday weekend so that's understandable !
