    Beautiful interior
    Lai Z.

    We were there for early breakfast and found Mimi's Cafe beautiful setting. Settled in Kietzke Lane, the place itself is beautiful and i find their interior that of an impeccable taste. Maria was this calm lady that took our order. She was graceful and soft spoken, the kind you'd want as a host of your little party. She checked on us a lot just how a good hostess could be. Our food came about 15 minutes later and it was just as comforting we thought it would. I ordered the Dubai Chocolate Pancakes. It was a normal pancake but soft and beautifully presented. I also had medium eggs and ham on the side. I truly enjoyed the experience. My husband had French toast. We had an enjoyable time on our usual slow Sunday morning. And i can't end this without mentioning Maria sending us a little token of appreciation. She gave us free muffins on our way out. I have been to different places as first visit but we never had a token except from this place. Much appreciation. We will visit you guys again soon!

    Get a Grand and split it.

    They have a really good menu with a three course dinner meal. The breakfast include an option for a toast or a muffin. Pick the muffin and ask for the seasonal muffin. At the time that I was there, the muffin was Dubai chocolate and it was delicious. Breakfast are so large that you should probably split them. Skip the eggs and go for the eggs only and get the super monstrous pancakes or waffles platter with the eggs, side, order of meat and hashbrowns. Only, for this amount of food, you split it with your café partner.

    Dubai pancakes and a Dubai muffin
    Jesus M.

    Came in here wanting to try out their seasonal Dubai desserts. They were so good and the portion of the pancakes was a lot that we had to split it up into thirds. The muffin was also very good too. Service was nice, we got greeted and sat down right away. Highly recommend these 2. Items since they're only a seasonal thing.

    This little Reno diner was exactly what I needed after an early start. I popped in for lunch, drawn by the promise of all-day breakfast and a cozy, welcoming vibe. The coffee was excellent--strong, hot, and definitely hit the spot. The team here couldn't have been friendlier, creating a genuinely warm atmosphere. They even sent me off with a free pumpkin muffin when they heard I was heading to the airport. Reasonable prices, solid diner fare, and that kind of kindness make this place a quality spot to drop into anytime you're in town.

    Huevos rancheros
    Bill S.

    When I go to a new restaurant for breakfast I usually order huevos rancheros. Although the picture it doesn't do it justice, this was the best huevos rancheros that I have ever had. The corn tortilla was crispy, the avocados which you can't see in the photo were plentiful, the eggs were perfect. At 10:00 on a Thursday morning the service was outstanding the atmosphere was quiet and relaxing. I can't wait to go back.

    Creme Brulee

    I forgot to leave a tip after ordering some deserts for my family, but they deserved one AND a review. They have great presentation and customer service. I came to pick up when they were training how to finish my yummy delicious crème brûlée and it was a joy to watch, followed by great conversation. I hope everyone is doing as amazing as their deserts! Next time i'll be remembering my tip

    My husband and I went for brunch one day. It was delicious and service was great. It was very chill and clean inside.

    Same visit, but forgot an important point. They no longer have a Happy Hour. Found out when I asked for the happy hour menu so I could take a picture. Otherwise I enjoyed the NOLA themed ambience. Bon Appetite!

    Chicken wings, grilled shrimp and broccoli
    Teresa B.

    First time at Mimi's after a poor experience at another local breakfast place in Reno that I've been frequenting for the past 4 years. ( I won't mention the place...I have been loyal to them for years) I brought a $100.00 bill to pay for my meal and give a tip...I always tip great...I wanted to show the staff that I appreciate them, there must have been a change there and it wasn't good. ......so......I Thought I'd try Mimi's Cafe.....Boy! am I glad I did!! I have a new favorite! I was seated quickly, the waiter was super friendly and attended to my dietary restrictions. Very clean and pleasant atmosphere with upbeat music. Not gonna lie...I'm glad the other place drooped the service and quality ball....I found a calm and peaceful place to have a comforting meal with staff that genuinely care! This is my new go-to breakfast/lunch spot!! The waiter checked on me frequently, he to provided a perfect experience! The wings and shrimp were cooked to perfection and to my dietary needs. Sometimes a bad experience turns into an opportunity to do something different. I am so happy that I chose Mimi's!!!

    Leticia R.

    Mimi's cafe, although a chain is a great option for some good food. When we arrived we were seated immediately. Our server was Byron who was very attentive, professional and just altogether on top of the service he provided. Our food was good, prepared fresh and warm within a reasonable time. It is a little pricey but considering the quality of customer service that was provided it's fine. Will be back.

    Tomato Basil Bowl, Tempura Cauliflower Appetizer
    Lana O.

    I suggested Mimi's specifically for the FOS (French Onion Soup ) and was pleasantly surprised with the crunchy of the tempura. 5p on Saturday afternoon, and it was quiet enough to hear each other within our booth. Our server was a little but much and over-the-top; he tried super hard to be helpful and make small talk with us and just didn't seem natural.

Our waiter Lee was a familiar face and very friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. The menu was full of fabulous choices and I just couldn't resist the foie gras appetizer. I've never tasted foie Gras prepared this way. I was not disappointed. Lovely seared four gras sitting upon a bed of lentils with a beautiful consommé poured over top. A few mushrooms were sat into this lovely mix. Dredged bread, slice of foie and lentils topped with a slice of mushroom. YUM Washed down with an extraordinary Grand Cru...oof! The duck was perfect with an amazing crust that really elevated the dish. The olives, dates were tasty morsels! Halibut looked wonderful and my seat mate enjoyed it very much.

Staff were very attentive and helpful. Drinks were served promptly. We chose bacon wrapped dates to start (delicious) . Husband chose seafood appetizer and I chose the French onion soup. Both very good but my soup was barely warm which was disappointing. Husband chose filet steak as main course and I had the scallops. Tried his steak and it was excellent. My scallops were tasty but they were placed on some mashed potato that was the consistency of soup as it had mixed with the liquid from the cooked tomatoes giving it a very unpleasant taste and presentation. Again, the meal was barely warm although the plate was red hot (!). We decided against desert finishing the meal instead with coffee. Sad to say, again, the coffee was barely warm and I needed to drink it right away before it cooled even more. The ambiance and service were good and you may wonder why I didn't address the barely warm food and watery mashed potato with the waiter......the restaurant became very busy and is obviously very popular. I didn't want to disrupt the other diners with constant complaints - it has a very intimate vibe and tables are relatively close. Wimpish reason I know but why disturb other diners experience. I would be tempted to maybe give it a second chance but have to say that overall it was not a memorable evening.

It was still pretty crowded which was nice to see, so we grabbed a spot at the bar. The bartender was friendly and quick to serve us. We ordered some draft beers, they had a good selection available.

That was actually a good thing because they were a good compliment to eat all together. It was more than enough food for 2 people and everything was delicious. The stuffed Avocado salad was interesting and it was delicious. The fish and chips were good, the fish was more of a tender which was actually nice because it wasn't greasy. Not sure I would order it again because there are so many other good options on the menu, but it was good. The artichoke and Crab skillet was excellent as well. We both left satisfied and impressed by the overall quality and service, already planning to go back again when the patio opens because they will let you have dogs which is always a big bonus!

Picon Punch has an acquired taste about it. The first one goes down super slow and the next one you order you will be a pro, but watch out, you drink too many and you could end up under the bar. I'm not kidding! Basque Restaurants are known for family dining. You sit and have dinner with people you've never met before. You start out with the house soup, house salad, first course at dinner possibly chicken, oxtail, or mussels not apart of the lunch courses. Also includes beans with chorizo and French fries that are pure heaven along with your chosen entree. I always get the Sirloin steak. Dinner includes desert ice cream or hard cheese. You receive a craft of red wine for your dinner party, if at lunch you will receive a glass and no desert and one less side. I can't forget the amazing bread loaf and butter to go along with your meal. The service is always good! I would recommend reservations, due to they are quite busy on the weekends.. Fun fact, they filmed Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives at Louis's in 2004. It was fun to be a part of the show and a great memory to share.

It was soaked in dressing and completely limp Seemed like it may have been leftover from lunch. A very generous wine serving arrived as well as the red clam chowder. The chowder was a nice vegetable soup with a hint of clams but enjoyable. We ordered salmon and oxtail, both of which were delicious and cooked perfectly. Along with the entrees were French fries, pinto beans and chicken with rice. Dessert was also included. Now everything was cooked well but I just couldn't get over that these dishes were not Basque traditions. Maybe the salmon as Basque food is often seafood.

And baked potatoes were also over-baked. See pictures. Elk Chop - My buddy recommended that I try this. I was thinking between this or my usual ribeye or prime rib. The waiter also said to go for it. Sorry, I regret getting this. My dish was over cooked also. The waiter recommended rare, I asked for Medium rare but I think it came medium... Decent portions, but was not able to finish all my veggies. Lastly, my other buddy got the salmon which was also over cooked. And so small of a portion.

Complimentary desserts to-go, which was a perfect pairing to my morning coffee cup. No one had room for dessert. I had a glass of Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet Sauvignon to wash my dinner down.

Our server was lovely, newer, but kind with a great sense of humor. The food was good. The salmon and red wine reduction was a very strange combo, skip it. The ambience was nostalgic of fine dining in days past with worn but comfortable seating and pleasant atmosphere. Although, having been too many fun dining establishments, the buses need some training. As they reached across us over us and around us to clear plates and serve. Sadly, the night was abruptly ended as the manager came over. And told us we had to leave because he had another table to seat at ours. There are many ways a manager could do this, and yes, we have been there for a little over two hours, enjoying our time, the service was slow, in a way that encouraged taking your time...a fine dining experience, which generally you would think would be unrushed. We ordered drinks, salad, salads, mains, dessert for 4... No split meals, no split tabs. One credit card and a generous tip. We had already paid the bill and were getting ready to go within the next few minutes because we all needed to be home before 8. The manager came over was extremely unkind and rude in his tone and request. He told me, without provocation, didn't care if we gave him a bad review. And two hours was long enough for dinner. We all walked out in silence, aghast at his terrible manners and words. All that to say, diner beware. This man undid a wonderful evening with a few sharp words and extremely awful service and poor manners. Realizing that had he said it nicely, we would've popped right up. We were already ready to go. And that treating your customers -who just spent a few hundred dollars with you - with respect and warmth versus treating them with contempt and rudeness. We will not be back. Not that he cares, but if you're looking for a place to have a leisurely fine meal over the course of a couple hours, this isn't it.
