    Florentine Benedict
    Diane C.

    Miguel our waiter was prompt in got our order in a hurry. I was so surprised my friend had eggs vegetable eggs Benedict. And I had classic eggs Benedict with potatoes that were so good. Everything was delicious and of course, our waiter make sure everything was perfect He kept on returning to fill our coffee cups I sure will be going back soon

    Beautiful interior

    We were there for early breakfast and found Mimi's Cafe beautiful setting. Settled in Kietzke Lane, the place itself is beautiful and i find their interior that of an impeccable taste. Maria was this calm lady that took our order. She was graceful and soft spoken, the kind you'd want as a host of your little party. She checked on us a lot just how a good hostess could be. Our food came about 15 minutes later and it was just as comforting we thought it would. I ordered the Dubai Chocolate Pancakes. It was a normal pancake but soft and beautifully presented. I also had medium eggs and ham on the side. I truly enjoyed the experience. My husband had French toast. We had an enjoyable time on our usual slow Sunday morning. And i can't end this without mentioning Maria sending us a little token of appreciation. She gave us free muffins on our way out. I have been to different places as first visit but we never had a token except from this place. Much appreciation. We will visit you guys again soon!

    Get a Grand and split it.

    They have a really good menu with a three course dinner meal. The breakfast include an option for a toast or a muffin. Pick the muffin and ask for the seasonal muffin. At the time that I was there, the muffin was Dubai chocolate and it was delicious. Breakfast are so large that you should probably split them. Skip the eggs and go for the eggs only and get the super monstrous pancakes or waffles platter with the eggs, side, order of meat and hashbrowns. Only, for this amount of food, you split it with your café partner.

    Dubai pancakes and a Dubai muffin
    Jesus M.

    Came in here wanting to try out their seasonal Dubai desserts. They were so good and the portion of the pancakes was a lot that we had to split it up into thirds. The muffin was also very good too. Service was nice, we got greeted and sat down right away. Highly recommend these 2. Items since they're only a seasonal thing.

    Huevos rancheros
    Bill S.

    When I go to a new restaurant for breakfast I usually order huevos rancheros. Although the picture it doesn't do it justice, this was the best huevos rancheros that I have ever had. The corn tortilla was crispy, the avocados which you can't see in the photo were plentiful, the eggs were perfect. At 10:00 on a Thursday morning the service was outstanding the atmosphere was quiet and relaxing. I can't wait to go back.

    I forgot to leave a tip after ordering some deserts for my family, but they deserved one AND a review. They have great presentation and customer service. I came to pick up when they were training how to finish my yummy delicious crème brûlée and it was a joy to watch, followed by great conversation. I hope everyone is doing as amazing as their deserts! Next time i'll be remembering my tip

    This little Reno diner was exactly what I needed after an early start. I popped in for lunch, drawn by the promise of all-day breakfast and a cozy, welcoming vibe. The coffee was excellent--strong, hot, and definitely hit the spot. The team here couldn't have been friendlier, creating a genuinely warm atmosphere. They even sent me off with a free pumpkin muffin when they heard I was heading to the airport. Reasonable prices, solid diner fare, and that kind of kindness make this place a quality spot to drop into anytime you're in town.

    My husband and I went for brunch one day. It was delicious and service was great. It was very chill and clean inside.

    Same visit, but forgot an important point. They no longer have a Happy Hour. Found out when I asked for the happy hour menu so I could take a picture. Otherwise I enjoyed the NOLA themed ambience. Bon Appetite!

    Chicken wings, grilled shrimp and broccoli
    Teresa B.

    First time at Mimi's after a poor experience at another local breakfast place in Reno that I've been frequenting for the past 4 years. ( I won't mention the place...I have been loyal to them for years) I brought a $100.00 bill to pay for my meal and give a tip...I always tip great...I wanted to show the staff that I appreciate them, there must have been a change there and it wasn't good. ......so......I Thought I'd try Mimi's Cafe.....Boy! am I glad I did!! I have a new favorite! I was seated quickly, the waiter was super friendly and attended to my dietary restrictions. Very clean and pleasant atmosphere with upbeat music. Not gonna lie...I'm glad the other place drooped the service and quality ball....I found a calm and peaceful place to have a comforting meal with staff that genuinely care! This is my new go-to breakfast/lunch spot!! The waiter checked on me frequently, he to provided a perfect experience! The wings and shrimp were cooked to perfection and to my dietary needs. Sometimes a bad experience turns into an opportunity to do something different. I am so happy that I chose Mimi's!!!

    Leticia R.

    Mimi's cafe, although a chain is a great option for some good food. When we arrived we were seated immediately. Our server was Byron who was very attentive, professional and just altogether on top of the service he provided. Our food was good, prepared fresh and warm within a reasonable time. It is a little pricey but considering the quality of customer service that was provided it's fine. Will be back.

I was surprised when we were seated in their other room, I believe they call it their East Wing. I had no idea they had grown so much! This was also the best service I ever had there! My water glass was never empty, after eating the complimentary bread to quickly, another small loaf was dropped off-which was very exciting! Love delicious warm and free bread! And our waiter was so friendly. Cocktails, wine and food is always amazing there! Though I usually always get the steak frites, I do change up the apps and dessert and this time I ordered bacon wrapped dates and they were very good but had a powerful blue cheese flavor. I also love going to places where the owner is frequently there and you can find the owner sitting at the bar often.

He told me the entire situation was my fault, claiming I should have asked for more cheese when I paid $64 for two boards that were already inadequate.

That was actually a good thing because they were a good compliment to eat all together. It was more than enough food for 2 people and everything was delicious. The stuffed Avocado salad was interesting and it was delicious. The fish and chips were good, the fish was more of a tender which was actually nice because it wasn't greasy.

The Lobster Roll was ok, but there was very little similarity to the New England style with actual large hunks of lobster with minimal mayo. The bun was good, the filling had the consistency of a tuna sandwich. I also had lunch here recently with a friend. Again, the food was just OK. Not bad, but nothing outstanding. I will say, the chocolate brownie was a yummy extravagance. Ok. I would come back for that again.

I'm not kidding! Basque Restaurants are known for family dining. You sit and have dinner with people you've never met before. You start out with the house soup, house salad, first course at dinner possibly chicken, oxtail, or mussels not apart of the lunch courses. Also includes beans with chorizo and French fries that are pure heaven along with your chosen entree. I always get the Sirloin steak. Dinner includes desert ice cream or hard cheese. You receive a craft of red wine for your dinner party, if at lunch you will receive a glass and no desert and one less side. I can't forget the amazing bread loaf and butter to go along with your meal. The service is always good! I would recommend reservations, due to they are quite busy on the weekends..
