    Turkey Dinner
    Philip L.

    I've been a long time patron of Mimi's going back over 20 years. Their menu has gone through various changes over the years but I'm glad to see they have resisted the over-modernization that many chains have become subject to. Most of their meals are classics done right, the old fashioned way, as they should be. The Moreno Valley location specifically has great service and is always quiet and clean. When it comes to the food, they certainly deliver with great sit down dining delivered quickly and at a good value. Although they don't give the carrot bread in the free bread basket anymore, the sourdough and real butter is still exceptional. I typically don't give 5 stars to chain restaurants but it has been so difficult to find sit-down restaurants with high quality with good value now days, I had to grade on a curve.

    I forgot I took pictures the last time we were there, I guess I can't add them without putting some words here. Somewhat of a flaw for Yelp The salmon Benedict was delicious He ate all of his pot pie We enjoyed it a lot

    Located on the corner of Day St. and Campus Pkwy. with plenty of parking. We've enjoyed Mimi's for many years now and continue having a good experience at this location. The restaurant is clean and organized with a full-sized bar and an outside seating set-up (although I've never seen customers dining outside). On this past visit, I tried their 'Jambalaya' served over rice. It was really tasty and fresh. We added 'Six Carrot Raisin Nut Madeleines' to our bread basket which was a great idea. Their menu consists of 'Burgers, Sandwiches, Salads, Steaks, Salmon, Chicken Pot-Pie, Pasta, Soups, All-Day Breakfast, and more'. Prices are fair and portions are generous. Service was great. Every staff member we encountered was friendly and welcoming. Shout out to our server, 'Maria' who was super attentive and made sure we had a positive dinner experience. We will continue to choose this Mimi's based on their good service.

    Went for a bridal shower in a private seating area with very cozy atmosphere. The server was very friendly and attentive. The menu had a lot of options. Very nice place and service.

    The salmon was perfectly cooked not dry! The salad was fresh! Our server was very nice and I love the walls and pictures! I am glad it's only 10 minutes away from home!

    MOTHER'S DAY 5/11/25, like the other 3-5 recent reviews this past week stated, it was that bad. 5 stars (& knock on wood I did not get sick as I just had gallbladder removed) the food meet our expectations, the drinks were good & that's only the positive. The server was ok, it wasn't his fault Mimi's Moreno Valley overbooked everyone at the same time- 11:15 am and the front & inside up to the counter where you check in was a complete ClusterF%#@! Everyone with reservations were told they had a 30 minute + wait. What was the point of reservations if you aren't seated at least within 5 minutes of arrival time. It was Mother's Day, we all agree it's going to be crazy crowded everywhere but our entire time spent up to waiting for our check was close to 5 hours; 30 min wait time to we got called to get seated; got a server asking us what we wanted to drink & bread appetizer within 20 minutes being seated; 30 minutes he finally came with drinks & didn't take our order; came back 45-50 minutes after we finished drinks & bread & finally took our orders; an hour & a 1/2 later is when we finally got our food & ordered more drinks - 30 min when they finally arrived & last, 30 min till we got check, boxed up deserts & waited for another box for my daughters food. I honestly if it wasn't for my daughters, would've left seeing the long line of people, flowing to outside area mainly because I'm still disabled dealing with knee still giving out but I didn't want to do that to them, they seemed really happy to do this for me and I would do it again but not this restaurant ever again. I love Mimi's but never go on the holidays especially Mother's Day. Mimi's Cafe franchises DO BETTER! And I'm not interested in calling your corporate number to complain, you already sucked our energy out on Mother's Day.

It makes it difficult to exit when there's other people dining there and waiters moving around. Loved all of the cat decorations and how they kept the red theme going. It's quite dim, but personally that's preferable to it being extremely florescent and bright. Service: Johannes was very pleasant. Food: We came because we wanted to eat escargot. Our favorite French restaurant, Le Gourmet in Upland closed in 2024 or 2025 so we needed to find a new French place. The lamb loin in lingonberry sauce was wonderfully complex with the savory cheese complemented well by the sweet lingonberry. The escargot was perfect. The only caveat was that we tried the pastries of the day -- one was a puff pastry, forgetting the flavor/name and some kind of cake, maybe Napoleon? We did not care for the desserts at all, if I were to get another dessert I'd probably stick with the crème brulée. The bread and salty whipped butter were delicious, seemed house-made? The bread was slightly sweet and I had to hold myself back from gorging on it. Parking: Parked in a nearby garage for $20. I think there was an event going on.

The food was excellent, as always: perfectly sized and seasoned portions, with high quality products worthy of the price point. The meats were perfectly cooked to medium, juicy and just the right balance of firmness and melt in your mouth softness. Incredible! We will be back again, and again, and again. Merci Le Chat Noir!

Like true Parisian style, you'll need to make a reservation because seating is limited and this spot is quite popular. My boyfriend and I were very fortunate they had a table available when we visited (we didn't know it was reservations-only) but the staff kindly seated us. Next time, I'll definitely call ahead. Right away, you're greeted by a warm and welcoming mother-daughter duo. They patiently walked us through the menu and shared the specials of the day. The chef himself came out to say hello and even took the time to explain a few items we were curious about. Soft French music plays in the background, creating such a calm, inviting atmosphere. *Plain Croissant: A perfect classic. Flaky on the outside, soft on the inside; it's exactly what you'd want from a traditional croissant. I'd come back just for their pastries alone, though this time I was excited to try their savory breakfast items. *Croque Monsieur: Absolutely delicious and wonderfully authentic. I ordered it with ham in the traditional style, and it came with creamy béchamel and melted cheese layered perfectly on top. The portion was generous and satisfying. You can add an egg to turn it into a Croque Madame. This came with a Provençal tomato and a potato pavé on the side, both of which were flavorful and beautifully prepared. The pavé, with its delicate layers, was such a standout. I haven't seen these sides offered at other French restaurants in the U.S., and I'd honestly return just for them. *Machaca Frances: My boyfriend ordered this dish, and it was such a pleasant surprise as a creative, well-executed blend of flavors. The short rib was incredibly tender, paired with potatoes, caramelized onions, and more, all wrapped up in a soft tortilla. The fresh pico, sauce, and avocado on top tied it all together perfectly. When my boyfriend mentioned he was eyeing this dish, the chef smiled and said the machaca filling was similar to beef bourguignon, and he was right! It had that same rich, deep, savory flavor. If they ever have actual beef bourguignon on the menu, I'd order it in a heartbeat based on how good this was. *Side salad: This had fresh greens, carrots, and caramelized onions, with oven-roasted tomatoes, and more, drizzled in a rich balsamic reduction.You could tell a lot of effort went into even the salad, and it tied the dishes together beautifully. This café really reminded me of France, which I miss so much. The space is clean, the atmosphere is warm, and you can tell the staff knows their regulars well. It's the kind of place that makes you feel like family as soon as you walk in. Spots like this are rare for both atmosphere and traditional French cuisine, especially around here, which makes Café La Reve feel even more special. I'm already planning my next visit to try their sweet breakfast options and maybe a lunch entrée. I saw in another review that they also offer dinner on Fridays by reservation, something I'm excited to experience soon. Thank you to the entire team for your kindness and hospitality. Café La Reve is a true gem, and I can't wait to come back.
