Restaurant did not honor reservation after we drove 20 miles to the restaurant. They state they close at 9 PM and did not honor the 9 PM reservation
It was really busy and loud
So many things have changed from years ago when Mini's first opened. Still an OK place to stop for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Gone is the complimentary bread basket; now you pay if you want it. The portions are just so-so; not like when they first started.
I love Mimi's cafe. The one we had in Colorado is gone so I was so happy to find this one while we were in California. Food is still good. The French onion soup is my favorite from almost any restaurant.
Best breakfast in town.
Great staff !! Great food!!
The service was excellent and our waiter was so generous and kind! The food was wonderful except for the steak being over cooked.
Well, Mother's Day is always swamped. The staff did the best they could under the circumstances. Service was great, only negative is all our food was a little cold; however our waiter took care of it.
Went on Mother's Day weekend and it was of course busy. I've dined here before in the past and the food still came out tasting great! Service was not the quickest but the holiday is decent excuse. Would still dine here over and over though.
The service was bad. They didn't seem prepared for the Easter crowds at all. The food was also bad. Cold, underprepared, or in the case of ham--dried out. At least one in our party had gastrointestinal problems afterwards. This chain used to be a favorite with great food at good prices. Now it just feels like the owners are trying to get as much money out of it before killing it. After a very long time of going, this was the last visit.

I reserved Easter Sunday well in advance. When I got there they at us at a table with 3 open booths. When I asked if we could move he said no because larger parties were coming who had reservations so we stayed at our table. He also gave us a prefix lunch menu and no breakfast menu. I asked for breakfast menu and he said we only have lunch. I said you didn't advertise that on Open Table which is why I booked here. A few minutes later we got a limited option Easter breakfast menu. Our server came and took our order. She was amazing. After almost 20 minutes the booths were still sitting empty so we asked to move and she said yes because we were going to ask if you could move so we could push tables together for a large party.
Our server, Laura, was exceptionally helpful. She accommodated all our requests. Easter ham special was good.
Good food but overpriced. Update: Got the Jambalaya pasta and the mixed berry muffin sundae. Both were very good. Prices are steep, but service was very good.
Parking: Plenty of parking in the shared parking lot.
Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible parking, entrance, and seating.

The service is not fast, the taste of the food is good, but the bad thing is the parking spaces. too tight, you can't get out of your car without damaging the car next to you. Inside the restaurant, everything is fine!
