   The reason for one star is that we didn’t dine here today. We had reservations that was confirmed, however when we arrived the restaurant was full of people. We were informed that there was a 45 minute wait. Really ?? When I make reservations I expect to be seated on arrival.

   I had made a reservation for Mother’s Day at Mimi’s Cafe in Reno, but when we arrived, we were told there would still be a 45-minute wait due to the restaurant being overwhelmed by OpenTable reservations. What’s the point of even taking reservations if they can’t manage the volume? To make matters worse, there was no manager on hand to help the hostess, and if they knew this would be an issue from the start, they should have contacted guests in advance to inform them of the delay. If you plan to book through OpenTable, I highly recommend calling ahead to confirm your reservation and ensure they’re able to handle it. We decided to leave and find another place nearby. We ended up at a new spot we hadn’t tried before, and it was a much better experience—quieter and more enjoyable than the crowded, noisy environment at Mimi’s Cafe.

   I made reservations for Mother’s Day a month in advance. I showed up a few minutes early and it was packed. When I checked in, the hostess told me it didn’t matter I made reservations and that it would be an hour then added me to the end of the walk-in list. I asked her why they even offer reservations if they’re not going to honor them and she said it was a busy day… yes, I know, THAT IS WHY I MADE A RESERVATION. My mom had to work and I only had a babysitter for so long. We had to go to fast food, so honestly, Mimi’s ruined Mother’s Day for us.

   Prefixed Easter Menu had a good selection of menu choices including soup or salad and dessert for $35 pp. Everything was well prepared and tasted great! Byron, our server, was extremely attentive and friendly and did a really great job!!

   Since we don’t live close to Mimi‘s, we hadn’t been in for quite a while, but we were flying out of Reno so we took advantage of the Valentine special that they were offering. oh my gosh, we literally could’ve gotten by with one meal! It was extremely generous portions. My husband had the chicken Cordon Bleu and I had the short ribs over mashed potatoes. Paired with the French onion soup and our dessert to go. It was way too much food! But it was absolutely delicious. Our waitress was a doll. She was an elderly gal who was struggling so we really appreciated her. It would’ve been nice to have some French type music playing versus pop radio. Not that I expect this to become a fine dining experience, but that would be the one missing link.

    The server seemed brand new to serving and should probably work on her facial expressions because it was very obvious that she was annoyed and overwhelmed. Other than that, brunch was great.
