Best Comfort Food Restaurants in Fountain Valley

I've been to 1886 for brunch, happy hour, and dinner. All 3 were excellent. The food is outstanding . The portions are generous and the service is very attentive. Brunch is a special favorite! You cannot beat the bottomless mimosas for $18.86! I highly recommend 1886 for your dining experience!

It was all a good experience. But the return of the salad bar would make it great!

We always get the chicken dinner and it’s always exceptional. Our server, Melanie, and hostess, Tracy, are exceptional long time employees. Always a warm greeting and amazing service.

The Thanksgiving Day dinner was excellent. It was crowded and service was very busy. My only complaint is with OpenTable. When I went onto the Mimi's website to make the reservation, it directed me to use the app. It appeared to work seamlessly. I received a request through OpenTable, both through text and email, to confirm my reservation, which I did. However, when I showed up at the Mimi's Restaurant, they did not have my reservation. Apparently there were many others who used OpenTable, and the restaurant did not have their reservations. This appeared to be an issue between OpenTable and Mimi's. Obviously on one of the busiest days of the year, it caused chaos. There was already a long list of walk-ins that the employees were attempting to accommodate, only to have to add those who had OpenTable reservations that did not go through. There were many angry people who simply left the restaurant not willing to wait behind all of the walk-ins. Thanks to the employees, who scrambled to find us a table, we had to wait but not a very long time. I give five stars to Mimi's and zero stars to OpenTable who needs to fix their system. Will not use them again.
