We'd had some good history with the Mimi's in Northridge and were hoping for the same here in Santa Clarita. Although the... service was good, the food and overall ambiance of this location feels a little less upscale than the other one we'd been to.Would the food make up for it? Well, no the food was on par with the overall vibe. We were there for brunch (that's what usfancy people call late breakfast). I started with coffee as any sensible person does in this kind of situation. Unfortunately,this coffee was in the "browned water" category...ie not strong at all although it looked like coffee. Good coffee is amake-or-break situation for me at a restaurant serving breakfast so, sadly, we started out with "break." I went for their"favorite" Pain Perdu with Mixed berries dish. It's served with a side of eggs any style and, normally meat, but they were niceenough to sub roasted potatoes for me. The eggs and potatoes were basic and fine. The Pain perdu was supposed to be a frenchtoast situation with a cream cheese filling, plus syrup and marmalade...This had the potential to be a really decadent dish, butfell really flat. The french toast was soggy. The cream cheese filling ended up just an unnecessary addition and overall it feltlike too many ideas in one dish that didn't really mesh together...or at least wasn't cooked the way it should have been. Mywife enjoyed her eggs florentine which they served over spinach for her without the English Muffin (she's gluten-free and theydon't have any gluten-free bread options.) It was nice that they could accommodate here and she thought the eggs were poachedperfectly. Overall I wish the atmosphere felt a little nicer for a french-inspired restaurant, I wish the coffee tasted likecoffee, and I wish the dish I ordered was a lot better than it was. I doubt will be back soon...BUT I am a sucker for avegetarian quiche option which they have so anything is possible. Read more

Clean restaurant and food is reasonably priced. Friendly servers. The dishes were so good!
Presentation and service was great. However, flavor does not match presentation. It?s a decent environment to take your elderly... folks. Read more
The poached egg was overcooked ???? but the overall taste and amount of the Florentine Benedict were great. The breakfast... burrito was delicious, filling, & huge that it may serve 2 peeps or save the leftover for later. The staff were friendly, warm& welcoming. There's ample parking (@ 10 AM), no waiting for a table. Read more
I loved the steak the customer service the mashed potatoes with the sauce is extremely mouth watering and tasteful I must say... that whatever sauce is on the mashed potatoes belongs on the steak and without a doubt the pasta is definitely a cheese loversdream I will definitely be coming back !!! appreciate the hospitality Read more
My boyfriend and I went here for lunch hoping to get the same awesome experience we had at the Mimis cafe on the way to San... Diego! Unfortunately not the case, the moment we walked into the door the hostess was not friendly, no smile, and had a coldambience about her. Wanted to sit us at the very back of the restaurant between 4 other tables even though there was many openspots, so when we asked to be seated in the booth she led us there. Waited for 10 minutes to be greeted by the unfriendliest andrudest server named Fatima. She didn't even say hello, or introduce herself, she started with " what can I get you?" We had toask for water and coffee refills, had to get up and ask her for the honey that she forgot, and she was just NOT attentive atall. We both got breakfast burritos and once again needed to ask for ketchup and hot sauce when it should be a given to givecondiments with this brunch meal. She never even cared to ask how our food was, or if we needed anything. I guess since we hadto ask for everything she thought we covered all our needs. When she did refill our coffee and water she poured over our mealsso rudely instead of picking up the glasses like a considerate professional would do. This woman should not be in the serviceand hospitality industry if she doesn't genuinely care about her guests, and it's unfortunate for her because I'm sure her tipsshow for her sub par attitude. We love your restaurant, and had a great experience at the other location. We hope that you willtake this review and make sure your staff is representing your business in a professional, grateful, and positive way instead ofgiving guests poor service, and ruining the name for Mimi's Cafe.
