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.

There are two levels to the restaurant, and we dined on the second floor. The upstairs dining area has a sports bar feel with plenty of TVs to catch a game, and Wolf Pack memorabilia throughout, which fits the location perfectly. The service was efficient and friendly. Our server checked on us the right amount and our food came out quickly. We ordered the Giant Hamburger and the BLT. The burger was thick, juicy, and piled high with classic toppings, messy in the best way and full of flavor. The BLT was generously stacked with crispy bacon, fresh lettuce, and tomato on toasted bread, simple and satisfying. The only downsides were the fries and my drink. The fries were overcooked, dry, and a bit too tough. I ordered a vodka soda, and it tasted more like soda with a splash of vodka. Overall, it was a good experience and we would return.

Hey there Party People…read more In Reno doing the Gambling thing as well as the SPA. Decided to branch out and try a locals favorite the Bighorn Tavern. The atmosphere is everything you would want from a local bar joint. Pool table, Dart boards nice outside patio with heaters. Appetizers were Onions Rings and Cheesy Garlic Bread. The Onion Rings were tempura style fresh made in house...no frozen bag crap here. For my husband they were a hair on the doughy side but they weren't greasy at all which a totally appreciate. The Garlic bread was tasty having a hard Toasted cheese top with the gooey cheese underneath and the flavor was spot on. I'm a dark beer drinker so I went for the MOOSE DROOL if you had to many the moose wouldn't be the only thing drooling . You can't go to a tavern and not try one of the drafts...that would just be wrong. Hubby had the Prime Rib sandwich thought it was tasty with the chimiruri sauce and provolone cheese. I had the Meatloaf melt. It was the bomb. Tons of grilled onions a total mess to eat but so worth it...just make sure to ask for extra napkins. It's a place worth driving to...hang with the locals and have a pint. Be kind to one another

It was our 1st time eating there however it had been on our list for some time. We started with the PULL-APART GARLIC CHEESE BREAD which is Focaccia, mozzarella, marinara, parmesan, frico crust and also ordered the WOOD FIRED OCTOPUS with crispy gnocchi, tomatoes, red onion, basil, arugula and topped with a Calabrian chili aioli. Both were fantastic, seasoned nicely and cooked to a perfect temperature!! For our entree we hate the BEE STING pizza. Make with a 72 Hour Fermented Organic Dough topped with Salami, red onion, basil, serranos, mozzarella and honey. The crust was delicious, crunchy, thin and when combined with the sauce, seasoning and toppings, an excellent pizza. Additionally we ordered two of the in-house, housemaid pasta. The ARRABBIATA , a roasted red pepper campanelle, with Calabrese sausage, garlic, chilis, broccolini and topped with Parmesan, pecorino. The other pasta we tried was the BLACK SPAGHETTI, mixed with clams, scallops, shrimp, hot chopped peppers, white wine, butter and lemon. It was fantastic!! Cooked al dente and packed with flavor. Overall it was a very pleasant experience. The service was great, food was yummy and we definitely look forward to going back again soon!

The garlic bread pull-apart was honestly one of the highlights of the meal -- absolutely amazing and definitely something we'd order again. The pizza was also really good with great flavor and fresh ingredients. The atmosphere had a nice downtown vibe and felt relaxed and welcoming. The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 was the service timing after our appetizer order. Once we got the garlic bread, it took about 20-30 minutes before our server came back to take our actual food order, which slowed things down quite a bit. Outside of that, everything else was great. One helpful tip for anyone visiting: there's paid meter parking on the street, so make sure to put enough time on the meter just in case your visit takes a little longer than expected. Overall, definitely worth checking out and we'd still come back again.

The whole vibe at the J has totally changed from when it was The Sands and this was Mel's Cafe…read more This is now their "Coffee Shop". It has a bit of the retro feel to it and was a nice place for lunch with a friend. I ordered the BLTA with a side of fries. I just had water to drink but there were multiple offerings from boozy to soft drinks and other non-alcoholic choices. Our server was attentive and checked on us throughout. The meals took awhile to get to us (I think their kitchen probably covers more than just Hanna's Table) but it was worth the wait. My BLTA was just as I liked it - crisp bacon, large slices of tomato, creamy avocado and lettuce leaves. A perfect classic with a touch of hipster add-on. Would I drive out of my way to eat here? Probably not, but since it is about 2 blocks from home it would be worth a return visit,

I frequent Hanna's Table often, and I was so excited to see the new drink menu that I decided to…read morebranch out and try something different. I absolutely loved the White Linen -- and that's saying a lot because I'm usually not much of a gin drinker. Tonight I also tried the Blueberry Lemon Drop. I tend to like more of a tart citrus flavor, so it wasn't exactly the tartness I expected at first; however, once I ate the blueberry garnish and took another sip, it completely changed the drink for me and tasted much better. I also tried two of their specials -- the Salmon with Alfredo sauce and the Tenderloin sliders. Again, Alfredo normally isn't my thing, but the Salmon was cooked beautifully and the sauce was very enjoyable, especially since they accommodated my request for a lighter amount. Since I couldn't decide between dishes, I ordered the tenderloin sliders to-go as well... and they were delicious too! Our server Miguel was new and did a really good job. You could tell he was just a little nervous, but he was attentive, kind, and handled himself well. Everyone starts somewhere, and I wanted him to know he's doing a great job and will only continue getting better with experience. Another solid visit overall. It was also nice seeing GM Drew working the restaurant floor as usual. You can absolutely see his management style reflected in the atmosphere and service -- the restaurant was busy, yet the team handled everything smoothly. And of course, Chef continues making consistently delicious meals. Definitely looking forward to coming back again soon!
