   The server is horrible. She forgets stuff the we ask. She don’t check in our orders. Literally I have to ask 5-6+ times for napkins, water, utensils. She kept saying she got to but NO she didn’t get it. Our food order came out 1/2 the table and they just kept bringing food to the Orher tables that came later then us… I have to keep asking to check on the rest of the orders. Luckily there’s a young guy server (I don’t know his name) and he is great with getting the stuff we needed and our food. He deserves a tip and she doesn’t deserve a tip. I know it’s Mother’s day and it’s busy but you still gotta check on customers and their orders. I know she’s hourly pay and it shows.. she work like a turtle…. I would NEVER come back to this location!!! It’s just a horrible experience. I should have never made reservation! She gotten my much back and go elsewhere!

   Everything was ok. After much discussion of a veggie stir had real meat in it. Remade just ok. Server was fantastic for a young guy. Certainly mad about the stale Un edible muffins I bought. Especially the moldy bran muffin.

   This Mimi's wasn't what we expected. They were understaffed so our waiter would disappear for long stretches and no other server was in sight. We wanted to order coffee and hot chocolate after our meal but they were out of milk. How do you run out of milk if you're a coffee shop and there's a grocery store nearby? The place was run down. There's a location in Whittier that is much nicer.

   Service was not good today and my husband’s steak was undercooked. We had to ask for everything from silverware to water!

   It was me and my husband first time visiting, the food took entirely too long. I order cinnamon roll pancakes and let me tell you that it was false advertisement. The picture and the description was completely different from what I received. My pancakes was basic pancakes with powdered cinnamon mixed in with the batter that’s what I tasted. My husband order the breakfast burrito and that was really disappointing as well it came with melted slice cheese on top. Overall the experience was bad. We will never come back to this place!!!

   Food took about 40 minutes. It appears that even though they had plenty of reservations they were taking walk ins. Not a good idea on Mother’s Day. We made a reservation for a reason. The food was also just ok and lacked flavor. Quite disappointed.

    My family and I had a great experience. I called the restaurant on our way there to inform them that we were running 15 minutes behind on our reservation time and they were very understanding and still honored our reservation as soon as we got there even though there was a great amount of people on their wait list.
