Besides the good service and nice staff, our experience on Mother's Day was just okay. Though advertised on OpenTable, the 3-course meal would be available from 11 a.m. until 4 p.m., so we had to order from the regular brunch menu. It also took about 45 minutes to get our food and it was just ok for the price. We will probably not visit again on a holiday weekend.

We had reservations for Mother’s Day brunch. Checked in on time and saw over 100 people in waiting area also waiting. We were told the kitchen is backed up and have to wait at least one more hour. Totally unacceptable and mismanaged. We chose to leave and probably will not be coming back.

Even though it was very busy due to Mother's Day, and therefore the food was late, everything was delicious!

Mimi's has a nice homey feel and a broad menu that can satisfy everyone. We had a group of 10 at 4:00 pm for an after matinee show late lunch/early dinner and had a section all to ourselves. Everyone found something they liked on the menu, including breakfast (served all day). Service was great, even though an off hour. Loved it!

Mimi's is...well.. Mimi's. Food is good not great. Menu is quite diverse ambiance is better than most. Best part of the meal was our server Carlos. Attentive but not annoying. Much like Marie Callender Mimi's fits a need for decent, relatively affordable dining. The Irvine location is a good one.

Great Sunday brunch ! Luv muffins on side comes w meal - you want hearty food come here- cute place ! Don’t ever change decor even it’s being around for while, but everywhere else modernized interior feels cold - this place is charming. I wan add, place really staff up since beginning year, my post would being different last year. Perhaps new management , it’s now definitely ready to do biz in town- will be back.
