    We were a party of 12 and our waitress Jasmine was on point and provided excellent service. We asked for individual checks and she did not bat an eye. Everyone was happy with their food as well. Orders were anything from soups, salads, burger and crepes. All very tasty.

    We had very slow service. Had to ask for child's drink twice, muffins three times. My omelet was good, daughter's omelet dry.

    Doesn’t look like a Mimi’s inside. The food was nothing like the excellent food from Mimi’s . It was cheap and poorly prepared . They don’t even have butter for the hot muffins any longer. They switched to cheap tasting margarin and it wasn’t good at all. Our waiter did a very good job though. Good food will bring customers back, so I recommend the owners restore quality .

    Thanksgiving was a great experience at Mimi’s Cafe in Tustin. We had a 1pm reservation and we arrived about 15 minutes early and they seated us right away. Our server was amazingly attentive with the full area he had. My only negative comment about the turkey dinner is that it was drowning in gravy. There was just too much. Next time we will remember to ask to hold the gravy or bring it on the side. Otherwise, the dining experience was wonderful.

    We had a great time, we were placed in the back of the Garden room and it was perfect for the kids to have our own section. Food was good and everyone had a fun time. Thank you, Mimi’s!

    Mimi's Cafe has a really family oriented environment, the staff is short but responsive enough and friendly and it was easy to park, get inside and get a table. Therefore, I would really recommend it to anyone. However, the food menu do not have much options, the food quality is "Ok" and the food portions are very strict (value wise is ok). So, do not think that you'll be vissiting a 5 star restaurant. But, good enough for a lower expectation restaurant experience for a low budget ocassion.
