    Came here on a Friday during Lent so I didn't get to take the pic of the menu like I normally would. I had to go for a non-meat option. I chose the French onion soup. This was really good, rich and very flavorful. It would have been nice if it came with a slice of French bread on the side as well, but it was still very tasty. My dad got the three pancake trio and that looked really good. I was envious. Had a cinnamon bun pancake, a cookie butter pancake, and a strawberry pancake.

    Best service ever and a great cup of coffee too! I stopped with friends after a hike in Kankakee. The cafe had small town charm and big time flavor. The decor was really cute too!!

    Avocado toast

    Mimi's is a spot that I have been going to since I was in high school. I was happy that their breakfast menu is more vegetarian friendly than their lunch menu. Our server was very kind and attentive. We tried a muffin that was delightful. I was disappointed in the avocado toast simply because the amount of avocado was small. I ended up taking the slices from someone else's meal to get close to a full serving. I was also sad that they didn't offer oat milk, but almond is okay. This is just a casual family friendly spot that offers a fine breakfast.

    I was very disappointed from the minute I walked in the door. The decor for Christmas was minimal and the restaurant looked like an old Tuscan Grandmothers house. The service was fair. He had no personality and spoke barely above a whisper. The food was mediocre at best. Not hot, not flavorful

    Chicken quesadilla

    The server was very kind, but service was very slow. The restaurant has an older Cajun vibe but the seat I was on was so old I was sitting half in a hole in the bench seat. I tried the strawberry basil margarita, but it was not drinkable as it was too much mix. My husband got the jambalaya, which was okay but underwhelming. The bacon, crab, and shrimp pasta was okay for a few bites but very oily to the point it wasn't edible as it cooled. We were supposed to get toast with each dish, but didn't get it with either. The appetizer sampler was the saving grace for this meal and was the only reason it received more than one star. Overall, it was very overpriced for very subpar quality. Our meal was right at 100 dollars and more than half wasn't consumable.

    Nice spot! The entire restaurant is huge, so there's a ton of seating. There was no wait for breakfast, we were seated promptly and our server greeted us pretty quickly once we were seated. The menu is extensive with so many different choices, not only for breakfast, but lunch and dinner as well. I've passed this place too many times not realizing what it had to offer. A great location in the Valley! Food was great! Another unexpected option was the huge beverage selection, including boozy breakfast options! Can't wait to try another meal here!

    Never been to a Mimi's, tried it for lunch service. Pretty uninspiring menu, typical sandwich/burger fare so I went with a burger. Service was space, the place was not bustling by any means but looks like only 2 servers. My burger arrived and it is clearly not fresh. It's a frozen, out of a box hockey puck burger on a brioche bun. First bite, flavorless.and not hot. Not impressed with this restaurant. My server visited my table once, and ignored me until I requested my check. My booth was dirty looking, in disrepair and neglected. The pleather was flaking and the cloth seemed filthy. Ugh. My first and likely my only meal at Mimi's Cafe. Do better.

    Cajun Shakshuka
    J C.

    I was looking for a diner and decided to check out Mimi's. The atmosphere was cozy like and definitely had a cafe vibe in the air. It took several minutes to be greeted and seated, then several more minutes to get drink orders. The wait staff was polite. I ordered spinach artichoke, a cajun shakshuka and the grand breakfast with bacon, eggs, and pain perdu mixed with berries. The spinach artichoke was solid and parmesan forward, the cajun shakshuka was underwhelming in flavor and spices, no real cajun flavor to speak of and honestly a less than hearty shakshuka, a nice effort that fell flat, the eggs and bacon were what you would want from any diner, the star of the show was the pain perdu, soft, moist, and yet fluffy and airy at the same time. If I recommend anything here it's the typical diner fare.

    Delicious food and great service

There are about a dozen tables in there and I believe they all seat two, but staff would push them together for larger groups.

The cocktail menu and RW menu were fabulous, and yet bringing it all to life with effusive knowledge and enthusiasm about the various dishes was our outstanding server, Corinthian. She shared interesting and incredible insight on each offering, making us feel valued and appreciated patrons, advising based on our interests and likes to help us make decisions. Each of us was pleased with our various selections. While the soups were tempting on a cold night, I was delighted with the French-inspired Lyonnaise salad complete with a perfectly prepared soft boiled egg. My panko-encrusted swordfish with burre Blanc sauce was light and tasty. The gooey butter beignets were light on the gooey butter custard-like filling, as promised by our server (and more special than the typical St. Louis dessert), sprinkled with powdered sugar and drizzled with chocolate. The ample dessert (3) provided take home leftovers for delicious breakfast treats. The cocktails I enjoyed included a Japanese Old Fashioned & an Espresso Martini, both very good. Initially upon arrival, an adjacent table of younger women was unusually loud (in a space that doesn't absorb noise well) that I feared would spoil our evening; rather than approach them (tempted) or engage management, I glared a few times at them and it seemed to have resolved. Overall, this was a very enjoyable, comfortable, and satisfying dinner; we would return.

I ordered a smoked turkey soup while hubby ordered up his signature French Onion soup - we also ordered up a 1/2 charcuterie board - good news? The soups were just great, really. We ate 'em up quickly! The charcuterie board? Ok - where to start? The salami and prosciutto were great. The cheddar cheese was way too basic and (dare I say) a couple pieces were hardening up- yikes! Fresh it was not. The other cheese was unable to be ID'd and was kind of "bread like" - not good. But the bread (crostini)? Oh my goodness- hard as a rock. Not good at all. So we ate up the meat, some of the cheddar - and left most of that funky cheese and that hard bread. The hummus and fig spread was great, though - so no issues there. Hmm. So this was a mixed bag. But the surprise came - partly my fault, I know - I asked for a shot of their most expensive Scotch on the rocks. I should have asked the price - just over $100 for a shot! We didn't know this and only wish the bartender would have asked me to confirm the order by saying "the one I have is over $100/shot - are you sure you want it!" - but that didn't happen, darn it. So we paid up - and I swore never to order nothing but basic Scotch going forward! So - the soups and beers were great - but we suggest staying away from the charcuterie board until the bread and cheese selections are tweaked a bit more!

We've been here several times for their wine pairing dinners, and I am always completely blown away; and that's putting it mildly. The space is just gorgeous. There's this moment when you're driving up in the dark, and suddenly you see this illuminated farmhouse in all of its glory, and you just know it's going to be a special evening. Their wine pairing dinners sell out quickly, so keep your eyes on their website and social media. I'd also recommend waiting for a dinner when you know you're going to love every single course, only because the dinners are quite expensive. We recently went to their white truffle dinner and had, hands down, the best dining experience of our lives. Show up early--I believe you can get to your table an hour before the dinner begins--and let their talented team craft you a cocktail. From there, you can definitely expect top-tier plates and expertly-paired wines. Truly, it's just a delightful experience from beginning to end.

We opted for cocktails but you can go for wine pairing as well. No review or picture can do justice to this meal- you have to experience it yourself. Well worth the cost!

After we paid (and tipped 30%), we were abruptly told by the hostess to leave the table and move outside to finish the drinks we had just ordered. We awkwardly gathered our belongings without protest and were rushed outside unassisted, with the other patrons staring at us. As we exited, we heard the server reappear and graciously apologize to the waiting party, offering them champagne. The table outside was set when we arrived but then actively cleared by the busser after we sat down. No one came back to check in. We felt unwelcome and quickly left. It was unnecessarily uncomfortable and put a damper on what was supposed to be a celebratory meal. This was a service failure. I understand the need to turn tables over quickly, but we should have been given at least 5 minutes notice, especially when the kitchen is running behind. Alternatively, the drinks could have been taken off the bill and we could have left outright. Even help moving or any involvement from our server or the manager would have been appreciated, but they were not present. Having had many great experiences at Vicia, I expected more from the take root hospitality group. We'll give Vicia another chance, but I'll be cautious about trying one of their sister restaurants again With the impending closure, this one may have already given up.
