Hey, you know the fallback restaurant
that's good for mother's day or an office lunch every now and then
(perhaps a hangover)? You can't really go wrong at
Mimi's... the food will leave you full!
I was a little cautious the first time I came to Mimi's. At the
time, our twins were two... and going to a restaurant was a sketchy
proposition at best. You try to plan for the worst and hope for a
little luck. Mimi must have been a mom... not 2 minutes in to
sitting at our table, someone from our wait staff dropped by with a
couple of small snack-size bowls of Froot Loops and some crayons.
Needless to say, we enjoyed our meal and our kids were quiet! It was
awesome.
We've been to Mimi's several times, and I'd say what I like most
about the place is that it's great comfort food. I usually find
myself devouring the fresh muffins and bread before my meal arrives.
I know it's a bad idea and all, but they are so yummy! I can't help
myself. The food arrives and it's always way too much. I'm usually
not one for large portion sizes, but if you go in thinking you will
definitely have leftovers for tomorrow, it's not so bad.
Last time I was there, I had the chicken pot pie... It was enormous
(natch), and tasty. My only complaint is that the pot pie was
scalding hot. I'd much rather wait a couple of minutes for it to
cool down than to get it when it's cold though. I can't really
elaborate much on it, it's a pot pie. It was delicious. Was it worth
the $8 or so it cost? Hard to say, I suppose I could have bought a
Swanson's pot pie for a fraction of the price, but I don't think my
wife would have been amused on our date night.
My only caution was that the service was a tad slow, but I only
think I was really paying attention because we had a movie to catch.
We made the movie, but I think next time we'll go with Maui Tacos by
the theater.
