    Quiche Florentine
    Tony G.

    I stopped in for breakfast and met the most amazing bartender that is so warm and welcoming that she feels like my friend -- Dami. She's so attentive and really kind. I ordered the Quiche Florentine that comes with potatoes. Delivered pretty fast and very tasty. I love the ambiance here as the temp inside is very nice and very relaxing overall. I don't feel rushed and was left alone except for periodic check-ins. A perfect spot to enjoy yourself. Everyone is friendly which is why I continue to return. Thanks so much!

    Excellent service and food was absolutely delicious as always. My dad used to take me here and so it was very special to take my nephew here and he loved it!

    I was curious about this place after noticing it has nearly as many 1-star reviews as 5-star ones. I ordered the steak and egg sandwich, and it was genuinely above average. The steak was tender, they use grass-fed meat, which is surprisingly hard to find. The eggs were cooked perfectly; honestly, some of the best I've had anywhere. The food also came out right on time. But then the potatoes showed up sad undercooked with a slight bitter taste which I did not enjoy. And also, no condiments, no utensils. You gotta beg like a supplicant just to get a fork and some hot sauce or ketchup. It's the little things that make a difference. Fix those rookie mistakes and this place could actually be the spot. Right now it's teetering on the edge of being worth a damn.

    I absolutely love coming to Mimi's Cafe. Our team regularly meets here as remote workers, and it's become one of our favorite spots to get work done while also holding productive meetings. The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance--comfortable, welcoming, and professional without feeling too formal. What really stands out is the staff. Our waitress is incredibly attentive and kind, always making sure we're taken care of, but she also has a great sense of when to give us space so we can stay focused and productive. That level of awareness is rare and so appreciated. They've also been very accommodating with our group, providing us with a space where we can meet without being in the way, while still feeling part of the warm and friendly environment. It truly makes a difference when you're trying to balance work and collaboration outside of a traditional office. The general manager is just as impressive--professional, approachable, and genuinely committed to creating a great experience for guests. If you're a remote worker or have a team that needs a reliable, comfortable place to meet, I highly recommend this location. It's a hidden gem for productivity and great service all in one.

    Bittersweet return--amazing service, but the food just didn't hit like it used to. My husband and I used to eat at Mimi's Café in Fontana often before COVID, and we had so many good memories here. When we were recently in the area, we decided to stop by and see how it was doing. Seeing that Mimi's had survived the pandemic honestly made us happy--this place felt nostalgic, familiar, and comforting. But unfortunately, that excitement turned into disappointment. We arrived around 11:00 AM, and the restaurant was fairly busy. What really stood out was the server, who was wearing all the hats--hostess, server, and cashier. She was clearly experienced, managing the entire front of house with grace, professionalism, and kindness. Despite the lunch rush, she made sure every guest was greeted and informed ("Just give me a few moments, I'll be right with you")--her service was top-notch and a huge reason this review isn't any lower. The food, however, fell short. My husband ordered the Salmon Benedict I had the Short Rib Benedict Each dish was $19, and sadly, both were under-seasoned. We had to add salt and pepper to even bring the dishes to life. The food was edible, but nothing special--just something to fill our stomachs. Our taste buds were genuinely sad. In today's economy, when every dollar matters, it's frustrating to spend nearly $40 on two plates that felt uninspired. There's too much good food out there to settle for mediocre. We also noticed that the restaurant seems to have become a popular spot for an older demographic. It's a good place for group dining or church gatherings, thanks to its spacious layout. It made me wonder if the food is intentionally toned down in seasoning to suit their core clientele--which is understandable, but disappointing if you're looking for flavor. Bottom line: We were rooting for this place. We really wanted it to be as good as we remembered. The service was truly excellent, and we respect the hustle of the staff--but with prices this high and food this bland, we probably won't be coming back.

    Avacado toast

    My avacado toast was good. Service was good. Vibes were good. Everything was good overall.

    Crab cake egg Benedict

    Food was great! Came in on a Tuesday afternoon and while it was a bit dead (as it typically is), but our server was attentive and sweet. Got a crab cake eggs Benedict; the crab is a little faint but the meal itself was yummy.

    The food is definitely not what it use to be. Not sure what kind of au gratin potatoes these were but they were covered in what might have been butter and oil. No cheese taste at all. Server was okay, and the peach mimosa was the best thing we ordered. Overall I'd say way too over priced and tasteless food. Don't recommend.

    Do they have a room for private parties?

It makes it difficult to exit when there's other people dining there and waiters moving around. Loved all of the cat decorations and how they kept the red theme going. It's quite dim, but personally that's preferable to it being extremely florescent and bright. Service: Johannes was very pleasant. Food: We came because we wanted to eat escargot. Our favorite French restaurant, Le Gourmet in Upland closed in 2024 or 2025 so we needed to find a new French place. The lamb loin in lingonberry sauce was wonderfully complex with the savory cheese complemented well by the sweet lingonberry. The escargot was perfect. The only caveat was that we tried the pastries of the day -- one was a puff pastry, forgetting the flavor/name and some kind of cake, maybe Napoleon? We did not care for the desserts at all, if I were to get another dessert I'd probably stick with the crème brulée. The bread and salty whipped butter were delicious, seemed house-made? The bread was slightly sweet and I had to hold myself back from gorging on it. Parking: Parked in a nearby garage for $20. I think there was an event going on.

The food was excellent, as always: perfectly sized and seasoned portions, with high quality products worthy of the price point. The meats were perfectly cooked to medium, juicy and just the right balance of firmness and melt in your mouth softness. Incredible! We will be back again, and again, and again. Merci Le Chat Noir!

It comes with chopped clams, garlic in a white wine sauce and also has a few whole clams in shell. It was so good. It was very "seafoody" which was just what I was craving. I also got to taste the carbonara, which was also very tasty. It had plenty of pancetta and the sauce was rich. Overall a good experience.

He also said we would be charged for the incorrect steak if we kept it on the table. The manager apologized, but the situation was never truly resolved. Dirty plates remained on the table, service was inattentive, and there was very little effort to recover the experience.
