Mimi’s Cafe

Me and the wife ate here for the first time the other night. I thought it was really good. They have an interesting selection of food and nice décor.

The worst dining experience I ever experienced. First, the server came over and intro herself. I asked her what was good tonight. She said they ran out of pot pies and was back there trying to make more, but they did not have a recipe so they were just putting things in the pot pies that they thought should go inside. Then she laughed and said «I wouldn’t recommend the pot pies»
I was at a table by the door to the patio. It was March 1 and about 32 degrees outside. For some reason the bus boy kept going out on the patio, holding the door open. The lady in the booth next to me told me she was freezing and put her coat on. The server opened the door to tell the bus boy it was cold. They both started laughing with the door open. I told the server I was freezing and wanted to change tables. She said «go ahead» but did not help move my silverware, bread basket, wine, water, etc.
Finally my meal came (shrimp and scallops on a skewer) and I could not eat it. The scallops were so over cooked they were hard half way up. I just wanted to leave this horrible place! The lady next to me sent hers back. The corn tasted like it was a year old then boiled. I took a picture of the scallop do I can remember NEVER to eat here again!
Save your money and eat elsewhere!

We went here as a group of around 12. They got us in okay when everyone else was over crowded. Should have put two and two together. Service was okay and the food wasn’t bad. Not great, but not that bad either.

Food was cold and my fruit cup consisted of two shriveled grapes a couple of orange slices and a small unpeeled pineapple slice. We won’t be back.

We had a large breakfast group which can be challenging for staff and kitchen. When mistakes are made, they do make it right!

The bread products are good here but I am unimpressed with the rest of their food. I have been here multiple times and I’ve always left unsatisfied. The décor is ok and ambiance is fair. Staff is sweet. There are better places to eat at in Centerra or downtown Loveland.

Calamari was awesome, bread and dessert was really good, service was great! However, my meatloaf was really really dry. Seemed like it had been sitting under a heat lamp. Same for my daughter’s turkey dinner. Also, my husband’s steak was overcooked. It was my first time to eat at a Mimi’s… I don’t think I’ll be back.

I stopped in this morning and discovered my favorite breakfast item was no longer available. My waitress was friendly, informative, easy in the eyes too. ;)
I had the Santa Fe omelette and found a new favorite breakfast item. The food was great, service was great. Not worthy of five stars because my coffee cup wasn’t 100% clean and my butter knife still had something green on it. I still like this place and will return.

How do you not have enough workers on a Sunday night? It’s 6:00pm and half of the restaurant is closed and there is a 20 – 30 minute wait.
Horrible service!

My goodness what has happened to Mimi’s!!! We got there right at noon and we were seated immediately. It used to be you always had to wait. My sister commented on that also. Waitress was there in a flash. We ordered quickly and our food came pretty quickly. I amnot a fussy eater but I didn’t eat any of my food after a couple of bites. I got a chicken and guacamole sandwich. It was just a mess everything falling out of it. My corn chowder was cold and tasteless. My sister got
The Reuben and onion soup. She
Ate her sandwich but her soup was also cold. We had my sister’s 9 year old grand daughter with us. She ordered the chicken fingers. She told us they «tasted funny» we tried them they tasted freezer burnt. They brought her the corn dogs they were little nuggets of hard corn breading with hardly any hot dog. We brought them home for my dog and she played
With one but didn’t eat it. I have no idea what Mimi’s has done to themselves but it was definitely a change for the worse

Mimi’s was always a treat in many regards, awesome menu and food, terrific happy staff, and buzzing with patrons… never minded waiting for a table. I think it was sold several years ago and the decline has been extremely noticeable. The many little things add up to a less than enjoyable experience. Lower food quality (and quantity), no variety of higher-​end sugar alternatives, not a busy place and yet everything takes a long time… It just all adds up. I miss the Mimi’s of old and wish whoever owns or manages it now would bring back the people who knew how to run an amazing restaurant. We’ve tried the «new» Mimi’s now for the 4^th time at different ones around the country and finally give up.

Used to be good! Now absolutely Terrible! Stinks, need to get rid of smelly carpet! Gross!

Awful. First time at this place and didnt even get a chance to try the food. My girlfriend and I were seated at a booth upon arrival but were never greeted by a server. We walked out after waiting approximately 20 minutes for a server to arrive at our table. We are now at old chicago accross the parking lot enjoying awesome service, food, and drinks.

This was one of our favorite places to eat when in the area. Over the past 2 years the food has gone down hill. We decided to eat dinner there tonight to give it another try, and were seated right away (although they weren’t real busy). Our server was nice and brought our coffee and water right away. Well after about 40 minutes and finally asking if our food was about ready and were told it should be soon. We waited another 10 minutes with no food and noticed at least two tables that came in behind us were being served. We decided to leave, and ended up paying $ 6 for our two coffees on top of it. Will not be going back for a long time.

Sunday for Brunch, quoted 20 minutes so we decided to stay, got mimosas and stood outside about 30 minutes because inside was so crowed, once able to, we went in and stood for another 40 minutes before seated, sat a good while, before being greeted, asked for coffee and water and we ordered right away. we sat for almost 30 minutes before we caught someone’s attention for our water and coffee, water came, no coffee, no second drink offered, waited a full hour and ten minutes from seating till food came. Husband had Eggs Benedict, sauce had separated from being cold, but he was starved and scarfed it down, my crepes were cold and the melted cheese on top had turned into a solid chunk of hard cheese, the insides, just cold, not even mildly warm. Server still hadn’t stopped by, I had asked another for butter for the piece of bread I had gotten from hostess area, that was placed out for everyone waiting, never got the butter, never got our coffee and not a soul to ask for help. Server finally swings by, hands full and asked if we wanted another mimosa, of which I said, an hour ago yes, but not now, would like our coffee, Didn’t get the coffee. I go up to area for to go orders and told young man at counter, my meal was not as it should be, he said he would send manager over. She apologized, but never asked what we wanted — which was HOT food and some coffee — she apologized — was nice and said «meal was on us» meaning the meal I haven’t had I didn’t have to pay for — I was past floored with all of it. After over two long horrible hours we left starved. I ask — all staff — how would you rate this experience? I ask manages, what could have been done differently? We were not alone in most of this, as others were complaining and piling dirty dishes on their tables and grabbing anyone passing by for help. If staff was out due to flu or other causes, think outside the box… Maybe a good parent/​teenager kid day — bring the kids to work and ask them to help assist for food??? Or Neighbors and friends? Anything is a better solution to what was happening. OR if insurance frowns on that option — close half the restaurant and only open the size you are able to staff efficiently.
In the past our experience was nice, not top of the biz in food or service, not enough to rave about or complain about, but nice enough place to go, this took it to another level.

very nice restaurant. very nice atmosphere. Male host was a little incompetent. unnecessary wait and inefficient. waiter was very good. tea was excellent. France beef stew would have been excellent except two large chunks of fat ìn there. otherwise, very good.

Better experience this time… came here for a business brunch. Great service and the food was very good.

I remember when mimis café was a good restaurant to go too. All the booths and tables were full and you had to wait in the lobby to get a seat. Now there was maybe a handful of people and I can see why. The food was bland and tasteless and the portions were small and the price was high. A sad downfall to what once was a great restaurant.

A very good place to go for lunch with family. Cute atmosphere and lots of good comfort food type items.
However, they were not very good at substitutions to accommodate dietary needs. I was bummed that they have done away with the fresh and fit menu and don’t have any caloric information or low calorie items listed (they do have some they just aren’t highlighted in the menu).
Our waiter was very lack luster and had attitude.
The food was really good though for this level of establishment and the lunch prices are very reasonable with good portion sizes. We especially enjoyed the new (low cal) Chicken Med Salad and caprese salad as well as the lobster bisque which was the soup of the day.
Not a must, but will return with parents and grandparents!

There is a problem here, and you see it in the Unilocal reviews. (Management has obviously never heard of Unilocal)
The service in this Mimi’s is just really, really poor. Indifferent and incredibly slow moving wait staff. Not only us, but everyone and everywhere in this restaurant.
We went for breakfast Sunday morning — first time at this Mimi’s location, although we’ve loved the brand and their food in other cities and states for years.
I’ll just get right to it… our server was inexperienced, clumsy, and slow. I ordered Corned Beef Hash and Eggs, she brought me Eggs Benedict. At the conclusion of our meal, we waited 15 minutes for our check. The restaurant was not that busy.
We watched other people send back orders for correction. We saw other servers looking confused and disoriented.
There’s just a vibe about this place that doesn’t match up with my experiences at any other Mimi’s. There’s a management problem here, and whoever has responsibility for hiring has set the bar very low.
If you love Mimi’s, stay on I-​25 and keep on driving. Maybe you’ll do better 30 miles down the road at the Orchard location in Westminster.
