Mimi's Cafe

Who doesn't like coupons, especially if it's buying one entree up to $17.00 and get one entree free? Sandi and I thought we would try the new "Ribeye" dinner at Mimi's. We started out fine, with the warm bread they served with some carrot-raisin bread shaped like Madelines.

We were there for a very early dinner so there were no crowds. While waiting for our entree, one of the servers dropped a tray with leftover food and landed in our area. Another server helped pick up the dishes but not all of it. In the meantime, our Ribeyes arrived. It looked promising and we were pleasantly surprised that it was quite edible. It was even cooked right so the long wait was worth it.

No one came to pick up the one French fry and the ketchup on the floor plus the large crumbs on the carpet. Several servers, including ours and customers, just walked on it. It was not a pleasant sight on the already dingy carpet. We also notice there were several tables that had to be cleared but nothing was being done. Later on a busboy came and started doing his job. We thought that surely he would see the food on the carpet and clean it. No such luck. A gentleman who looked like he could be the manager finally picked up the lonely fry but left everything else. This really bothered us on how people can pretend to be blind; maybe it was not in their job description.

Before we left the restaurant, we asked if the manager was there and the answer, was yes his name was Pedro. The food may be good but with the very slow service (hardly anyone there at the time), and the filthy surroundings, we both decided not to ever go back to Mimi's Cafe. It's a pity because they used to be good in the good old days.
