   My son and I went to Mimi’s in Elk Grove on Mother’s Day. We had reservations for 2:00PM. It was very crowded and we were seated by 2:15PM. There was a special for a 3-course meal for $35. We placed our order. The server brought out the appetizers, and disappeared. We had to ask a different server for water, napkins and cutlery. After waiting over 20 minutes, we saw our server bring food out to a party of 6, who came after us! After continuing to wait without a server checking on us, and no food, we decided to leave!!!! The server favored the larger party over our party of 2 because the tip for the larger party would be larger! What an awful experience!

   The food was cold and looked like it had been sitting out. We waited an hour before anybody took our order. The party that sat next to us that had a different server, ate and left before we even got our food. We were there 20 mins before them. Service was horrible. The menu sucked. 3 course meal. They brought my grandson child food with crust from the bottom of the fryer. I would never go back.

   We had Mother’s Day reservations for brunch. When we got there so many people were waiting outside saying they had reservations an hour ago and are still being told 30 minutes more. Everyone was upset and frustrated. They could not even give us an estimate of when we would be seated because there were so many people waiting. We ended up leaving and making breakfast at home. Bad experience for Mother’s Day. I will not try that again.

   Made reservations for 10am. Didn’t get sat until 11. I get being busy. But they were sitting walkins before us. And working off of 2 different reservation lists so I’m pretty sure we got forgotten.

   Mother's Day is a busy time, so I don't expect things to be perfect. Our table was ready on time, but once seated we waited quite a while for a server. Food took some time to arrive and it was luke warm at best. No follow up service for coffee or water after the initial contact-had to flag down someone for coffee refill. I felt the food was a bit overpriced for the quality I received.

   The staff is always friendly and attentive. As usual, the food was fresh and delicious. We enjoyed a relaxing brunch, with free-flowing coffee refills and no pressure by the staff for us to vacate the table although they had folks waiting in the lobby.

   Second visit but now for lunch time. Everything was amazing and delicious, we ordered chicken tenders and fries for the kids, Slow Roasted Turkey with mashed potato and broccoli, Ribeye Steak medium rare (was perfect) and Parmesan Crusted Chicken Pasta. To drink a Sparkling Tequila Sunrise and beer. The staff was very attentive and the vibe was relaxing. Thank you!

    We had an 11:00 reservation. We were not seated until almost 12:00. Took forever to get waited on. Finally got our food which was ok. Won't go back there again.
