Who knew Grayling was a dining destination?!? We came here…read moreon a Saturday night. It is rather unassuming from the outside, but nicely decorated on the inside. There were five of us. We were seated in a booth in the front window. Aaliyah was our server, and despite the fact that she spelled her name several times for me I accidentally deleted the post, so I don't know if I have it right. But anyway, you should ask for her. Except for when I'm dining there because I want her to be MY server. They brought bread, which had a variety as well as two types of dipping oil. One was a pesto and I believe the other was a sun-dried tomato and they were both phenomenal. We ate our weight in bread. We had the shrimp fondue appetizer for the table. They were large fried shrimp. Not with much breading just a light coating. And it was served with a Borson cheese dipping sauce that was killer. You can't go wrong. Two of us had fillets two had the crabcakes and I had the cowboy ribeye special. Two of our diners also had a cup of tomato soup and split a wedge salad. See pictures. The wedge salad had an amazing dressing on it and they split it in the kitchen. The tomato soup was very tasty. I would have that again. The crabcakes were excellent without a lot of breading. It had a Romano sauce that had red pepper in it, which is not something I like, but they were very tasty. The crabcakes came with excellent oven roasted potatoes. Very crispy very good. The fillets came with a mixed medley of vegetables and a mashed potato, and my ribeye steak came with grilled asparagus and the mashed potatoes. If I were going to have any complaint it would be that the steaks were just slightly cooked more than I would've liked. Next time I would order rare. We had the carrot cake and the lemon cake for dessert. Carrot cake was good but the lemon cake was out of this world. Absolutely amazing. We also had the chocolate martini which was fabulous. Not too chocolatey and not at all too sweet. As I mentioned, our weight staff were exceptional. Overall, I would say this was fabulous.

I had the lamb special, and without question, it was the best lamb I've ever had. Every dish was beautifully prepared, and the attention to detail was evident from start to finish. Northern Michigan is incredibly fortunate to have a restaurant of this caliber. Whether you're local or making the drive, Mimi & Pipi's is absolutely worth the trip. It's a dining experience you won't forget.

I used to think they had one of the best Espresso Martinis! I loved them. Whenever we were in town I had to stop just to have one. Not sure what changed but they are so weak now. The coffee tastes a lot weaker not as strong more watery. Who wants a watered down tasting espresso .... Not me. Such a huge bummer. I've tried twice now and probably won't waste my money on a third try. So we don't stop in much anymore. I really hope the other location hasn't changed theirs. Great ambience.

They…read moremake all the traditional Italian dishes one would expect to see at a fine upscale restaurant that you would find in any big cosmopolitan city along with other entree's to include fish, steak and chicken options. Food is well prepared with great visuals and most importantly tastes great. Setting has a nice darker rustic comfy vibe to it with a large gas fired pizza oven going on one side with fresh and oh so tasty bread cooking away which adds a nice Italian accent to the setting. Restaurant also has a full service bar where my Old Fashioned was very well made and oh so tasty in its own right. Also just as important, especially for an Italian restaurant, they have a very nice wine list to choose from. Overall, if you are in the north eastern side of the state and your pallet leans towards fine cuisine than this is a must visit restaurant as you will not be disappointed.

Service was sluggish, and the water tastes bad (either bad ice or bad taps, yuck). We ordered the cheese dip, which was brought out before our food, but we watched it form cheese skin while we waited for chips to arrive, eventually I had to get up and ask for chips, before the cheese got completely cold. I dont know what they thought we were going to do with the cheese dip without chips, sip it?? $8 margarita was way too sweet and $13 paloma cost almost as much as my entree. The tricolor enchiladas were good and the tacos were also good, chips good. Food overall was fine. Service was slow and mumbly, 4-5 tables filled in while we were there, but we were not checked on, never asked about 2nd round of drinks.. food was not special enough to make up for the inattentive waitstaff. I will say the menu is quite extensive, so they have lots of options if you have more patience than I do.

When we arrived after the lunch hour, we realized that we were the only customers in the place! There were 2 customers that came by to pick-up to go food, but during the time we were there, no one else came by. The waitresses were very nice, but very slow in taking our orders! The food seemed to take forever, but it finally arrived! For the most part, the food was OK, but the refried beans were a bit tasteless. We had a total of 9 people in our group, but with the slow service it made no sense that everything took forever! Is this a family run business? And a gratuity was automatically added to our bills! We would not have given what the included!
