MIMI'S CAFE in FOUNTAIN VALLEY CA


Mimi's Cafe is a chain restaurant.  Most of the time chain restaurants are good to go to when you want to grab a quick bite to eat and you know that you will get fair food, fair service and fair prices.


I do think that even though Mimi's Cafe is a chain restaurant, Mimi's Cafe is a step above the other local chain restaurants. 

They have a good menu with lots of options.  The food is good quality.  The portion sizes are nice and the decor is cute.

Most of the time's you will be greeted at the door by a staff member.  Today, we were greeted by the manager who was very friendly and welcomed us in with "Bonjour" which was a nod to the Parisian decor.


Our visit to Mimi's Cafe was in the morning so we enjoyed breakfast.  Breakfast has always been my favorite meal to eat out. 

The Cinnamon Brioche French Toast is a way to kick up the normal French toast.  Sort of like having a cinnamon roll and French toast all in one.  YUM!

It comes with bacon or sausage and eggs.  However, today we substituted the eggs for fruit.

The bacon was nice and crisp and the French toast was  cooked to a golden perfection.  The fruit was juicy and flavorful. 

Cost was $9.94.

We also ordered the Make your own omelet.  Our three picks were spinach, feta cheese and tomatoes.  It is made with three eggs so it's fairly large.  Served with red skin fried potatoes and your choice of bread item.

While it was good I can't say it was the best omelet I've had.  It was a tad dry.  I would say it was cooked just a little bit to long and the tomatoes had little to no flavor.  The potatoes were great though.

Cost was $8.99.


The food was pretty good but the service was WONDERFUL!  It started the minute we walked up to the door.  As I said, we were greeted and welcomed right at the front door.  This of course put us in a good mood right away.

As soon as we sat down our waiter was there to take our drink orders.  Shortly after he took our meal orders. 

Our food came out fast and we were asked several times if we needed anything and checked on to make sure our meal was to our liking.
 
We were asked if we wanted refills on our drinks.  Even the milk came with free refills.  Not seen in most restaurants.
 
On our way out, a young girl opened the door for us and wished us a good day.
 
I'm not sure of the name of the manager but I do think they have trained the staff to be friendly, knowledgeable, and on their toes.
 
I would give the food 7 out of 10 silver forks but the staff would get 10 out 10 silver forks.
