Some nice options to decide on for lunch
Veronica N.

Great service to begin with! What a cute setting, it was nice and quiet inside. We stopped in for a bite to eat over lunch, which was unplanned. The food was delicious and we decided to split the three course pot roast meal and had Caesar salad, along with bread pudding for dessert . Food was served quickly and was nice and hot and delicious. So was the bread pudding. Our server was pleasant and gave some really good suggestions for dessert. Quick,, hot, and delicious with friendly service to sum everything up . We will definitely be back!

I came here once before a year ago thinking things would be different. Wow. Who is in charge of this restaurant? Clean it, it's disgusting. The service is friendly, the food is pretty good.

Lighter decor
Alicia J.

This place has really improved! The service was good, the food was amazing and the place is lighter than it used to be. The tables and chairs are a little worn and could be improved on, but other than that, my husband and I had a good time! The tomato basil soup left me for wanting more--it was so good!

Thanksgiving Day Dinner
Donna L.

We went to Mimi's café for Thanksgiving 2025. I want to say it was my first time going here and the service was great. Our reservation being a holiday wasn't bad. We reserved an open table a month prior the food was absolutely spot on AMAZING !! They gave us so much food we took food home. I will go back. I will recommend them. The staff was awesome. 10/10

Part of their extensive menu

Dined: 11.3.24: Enjoyed a nice relaxing Sat brunch. Discussed some serious topics and enjoyed our lovely brunch. Server was attentive even as we stayed for a while. We all had the Santa Fe Omelet and all 4 of us enjoyed theirs. The place is super cute like a French bistro. The extensive menu had pictures which I love. Lol. The expresso martini was yummy! See you SOON!!

Triple berry iced tea

Top notch ambiance and service. I love the cute French cafe vibes. The brick walls, the pictures on the wall are so very esthetically appealing. Our server was very friendly and helpful, very quick to respond and offered us with whatever we needed, had a great smile as well. The food was okay. The complimentary bread was very nice, and the price is pretty good for the portion. I ordered a blue crab and shrimp pasta, and it was really soupy. I wish it had more creamy consistency rather than watery. My fiancé ordered the 3 course meal and that was more than enough for him as well. When we do come here next, I'd just try something else and see :)

Food was average. I ordered the salmon dish and it was honestly nothing too memorable. The salmon was cooked fine but I would've preffered a little bit more food for what I paid for and wish there was more flavor to the rice. The only thing that I felt had flavor were the vegetables, but I would've expected more for the main thing which was the salmon. Service was really nice though and my party was able to be seated quick enough. Ambiance is also cool too, high ceilings and probably better for families or bigger groups to catch up. Disappointed by the food though.

Took maybe 5 minutes for a foodserver to show; but I get it re: really busy. Also, a hostess showed up at maybe the 3-minute point and said a foodserver would be with us within a few minures.. Fair enough. Fooderver was fast and efficient. We ordered a few drinks and a couple food items. Beer for the Mrs and a 2X vodka for me. Club sandwich for the wife and wings for me. All served fairly quickly. All quite tasty. Foodserver listened to a couple of my jokes and history comments; was really cool with listening to my BS stories. The wings and the sandwich were quite tasty. No negative comments at all. Reasonble price. Very good service. Very good food. Have to rate it a "5", most definitely.

I would try something else or just stick with a burger. Wish there was a bubbas close to tempe!

My friend got the white beans soup and was quite content with that. Went a second time with two friends for dinner but was disappointed there were no booths so it was hard to buffer the noise from a long table where there were squealing children so it was not a dining hour atmosphere like we were expecting wherein we could have quiet conversation and savor Mediterranean food since it felt like a lunch room, so we had to leave before ordering, but by golly, the menu looked very appealing. We would have sat outside which is a very pleasant area but it was too windy. This area eventually could be even better if enhanced with the wall fountain functioning, and maybe even a central cooling fountain added as well, along with plantings like cypress and dwarf palms to add to the ambiance. This place has the potential for being THE go-to oasis in Sun City and I can envision it being a regular spot to meet up with friends over cool minty drinks with or without a meal. What puts it above many outdoor dining areas around here is that it is set back enough from Bell Road so the traffic sound is not overwhelming and thankfully lacks that annoying "whoosh." May the oasis come to pass!

My wife had a steak and shrimp combo and I had the Key West chicken. Servings were very reasonable for the price and the food was delicious. My wife's steak was cooked to perfection but did taste extremely salty - we did make a comment both to the server and in the on-site review requested by the table side payment app. I would recommend anyone ordering their steaks to be sure to request that they go lighter on the salt. Other than that everything was perfect. My wife had the carrot cake dessert, of which I also had a taste, and we both highly recommend it. Service was also attentive and courteous as was our greeting by the maitre d'. There are so many tempting menu offerings that we will definitely need to be making multiple return visits despite the distance, as we are Northeast Valley residents. I would love to see an additional Cheddars open closer to our home.

Parking was a bit tough with some of the construction and that also had me concerned that we wouldn't be able to be seated quick however this place has tons of seating. Inside, outside and the bar area all designed for space to sit and just visually welcoming and therefore we were seated with zero wait. Given a few menus and then some waters though the drinks looked really delicious just wasn't a good time but next time. We ordered the brussel sprouts as an appetizer and the short rib ragu pappardelle. Unfortunately they both came at the same time but small mistakes shouldn't be overblown especially when Megan our waitress was extremely attentive and awesome. Brussels were okay nothing special but that short rib was FIRE! We asked for the horseradish crème friache on the side and honestly was a great call. Not because it was to spicy which was the concern for my wife avoiding it but because the meal was perfect without it! Very excited to come back and maybe catch a few other things to taste maybe even on HappyHour at the bar.

Houdini), was almost impossible to find. It honestly felt like he had a timer set to check on us every 20 minutes. Sit down, water. Disappears. 20 minutes later, takes our order. Gone again. Food arrives, quick check-in. Then... gone. We sat there another 20 minutes just trying to pay, basically held hostage waiting for the check. At one point, we flagged down another employee, a woman with a choker and a forearm tattoo, and asked if we could pay. She said, "I'll find him." Spoiler, she didn't. Meanwhile, Houdini magically reappears to drop off dessert at the table next to us, then pulls off a tactical spin move to avoid eye contact with our table entirely. Impressive, honestly. Eventually, a new table gets seated next to us and suddenly, poof, he's back. But instead of helping us, he goes straight into a pitch about the lobster queso (which, by the way, wasn't very good). We finally had to flag down a host who literally told our waiter we just wanted to leave. After about two hours in what can only be described as mediocre restaurant purgatory, we were finally able to pay and get out. Bottom line, slow service, poor attention, and food that doesn't make up for it. Not worth it.

The bartender was friendly and attentive, and took our order quickly. By the time we arrived they had already sold out of the bone marrow small plate and the tomahawk steak. Totally understandable for the last seating of the night, but those were two of the dishes we were really looking forward to trying. The main reason for 1 less star. It's a cool little spot for drinks and a gourmet bite. The kitchen, bar, and seating area are fairly compact. Even though the kitchen is ventilated, you can still feel a bit of the heat and smoke coming off the grill. We ordered the grilled romaine salad (they do charge a small upcharge if you split plates), along with the bao buns and the wagyu meatballs. Everything was well presented, tasty. Overall, a great option for the west side if you're looking for elevated bar bites and good drinks. My tip: grab an earlier reservation if you can, so you have a better chance at the popular dishes before they sell out.
