I started having Thanksgiving dinner on my own many, many years ago. My friends at the time had young kids and they were... starting their own traditions, and while I was never short an invitation (and even accepted now and then), I still felt betterbeing on my own. Back then I went into the restaurant and had my meal while I read, but the restaurants started to get very busyover the years so I started grabbing it to go. Back then the special meal was about $18. Over the years, the price has gone up,of course, but the meal has actually lost the extras that used to make it great. Having consistently ordered it over severalyears and at various Mimi's locations, I can speak to the quality over time. But still, it's been my tradition so withoutchecking the cost, I just headed over and grabbed my two meals. I was really surprised to find that the meal is now $28.99. AndI would not mind paying that if the quality had not declined. To be clear, I've seen this the last few years from differentlocations. I even grabbed mine during COVID when they were just doing pick-up. But I think this will be the last year that Ichoose a Mimi's holiday meal. You don't get a roll anymore, you don't get gravy unless you ask for it, the sweat potato mash wasbland and there was way too much of it and not enough mashed potatoes, the stuffing and the turkey were incredibly dry. Theyused to offer cheesecake as a dessert option, now it's only pumpkin and pecan pie - which sorry but, yuck to both. It wasn't thefirst time it was disappointing but it is the first time I said it out loud (well, to myself). I just happened to pick the mealup at this location but like I said before, they have been declining in quality for a bit now. I've forgiven it because it's mytradition - and, honestly, because I've never thought to look elsewhere. But with more and more restaurants serving holidaydinners, I think I'm going to look around for another option next year. The crazy thing is that their Read more

First time at Mimi's which is a bistro diner playing up French cuisine. First, the menu selection was elaborate with a blend of... authentic French offerings and casual American dishes where you can get breakfast all day or go full-on with a diner-style 3course meal for lunch or dinner. The prices were very fair and portions were generous. You can find unusual items like crepes,croque monsieur, and the like. Also, the service was good ???? Shout out to William who was most attentive andcharming. Here's why the 3 stars rather than 5: Ordered a fresh made croissant and it was blasted in a microwave and naturallyarrived rubbery. I really don't like sending back food but this was bad. The server was gracious and kind about it. I ended upordering another - no heat offered - to get that real croissant, flaky goodness but no. It was dense and definitely NOT French.I lived in Paris and even if I hadn't, anyone would know this is not authentic. The other reason is because I ordered the summerfruit salad with shrimp. All supposed to be fresh ingredients but they threw in canned mandarin oranges blended with freshstrawberries and grilled pineapple. Although the vinaigrette was good. (Pictured) Will visit again but with an understandingthat there are pros and cons. If nothing else it's good for a great, hearty French-styled breakfast or lunch. My son loved theberry crepes (pictured). Read more
