The ambiance was delightful. The perfect first date or place to clear your head. The drink menu had fall favorites, and I chose a boozy salted caramel apple cocktail that looked like it belonged on the cover of Food & Wine. But the taste managed to surpass presentation. It wasn't too heavy or strong. It was the perfect drink for the first night out in weeks. Other options were the Lemon Drop Martini or the spiced pumpkin latte martini, with plenty of beers on tap or soft drinks for the under 21 crowd. I had a hard time choosing between spaghetti or the armed Italian sandwich. Luckily, spaghetti or fries could be served as a side for the Italian sandwich, so I enjoyed the best of both worlds. The presentation was not at all what I was expecting, given that I've only ordered a bucket of spaghetti for take-out from Belleria in Kent. But this felt different. I felt fancier and spoiled by the kindness of the server, with lighthearted jokes and kindness. With each plate, the smells were even more exciting than the presentation. But the food was delicious and I wouldn't change anything. The temperature was just right. The bread on the Italian sandwich was crispy and never soggy. It smells fresh, fluffy, with a crisp outside that will definitely bring me back again. Thursday nights, there's a special for pizza, a pitcher of beer, or a carafe of house wine with two salads. The perfect chance to give it a try for less than $30. Highly recommended.

We were seated on the restaurant side (opposite of where the bar is). Only a few people seated at tables. Shortly after we were seated (5-10 minutes), our server took our drink order. She brought our drinks water and took our order. Becky (my dads friend) ordered a eggplant parmesan sandwich, my dad ordered a Philly steak sandwich with French fries, my husband ordered a chicken Parmesan with fruit which was applesauce and I ordered a fish sandwich without the bun. Honestly No Kidding, it took a hour or more to get our food!!! We watch a table walk out because all they were served was water!!! They have a bar at that point we were all wishing we ordered a strong one!! Really Mimi's you have to be better than that!!! Food was only ok and you wasted over 2 hours of our surprise trip home

Little bread and olive and herb to start which was nice. The little croquet basket was delicious and the peppercorn ranch was perfect.
