    Great menu. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are served. Santa Fe omelette was super good, chicken cheddar Mac is a simple entree dish which is delicious. Country side coffee, very refreshing. Good serving and interior.

    First time visiting Polaris shopping mall area and there are a ton of restaurants to choose from. There weren’t many cars in the lot like the surrounding restaurants so I was skeptical, but my son wanted to try this place. It did not disappoint! Waitress was very friendly and efficient. Our meals came out in a timely manner and were very delicious. I ordered meatloaf with broccoli and sautéed garlic spinach. My son ordered half roasted chicken, mashed potatoes, and fruit. Nice restaurant with patio seating. My son glanced at the breakfast menu and said “We are coming here for breakfast tomorrow.” Haha Thank you for a great dining experience!

    We came here for breakfast today expecting the food to look like the picture …. (It doesn’t). Despite the food not looking as appealing as the pictures the restaurant posted, it is really tasty!! The muffin was absolutely delicious and our server even warmed it up.. YUM!! Our waitress Fallon was AMAZING ! She even walked us through the menu as it was our first time. Have great recommendations, and shared which meals gave you the best bang for your buck. I would 100% recommend her if you want good service. Overall a great meal, expected a little better based off of photos but wasn’t disappointed.

    Fabulous! Our waitress Kate was wonderful. We were sat on the patio and had a lovely view of the water. Food was delicious and we are looking forward to breakfast soon.

    We ate brunch here before heading home from Columbus. Our server was excellent. The food was excellent. The atmosphere was inviting and very comfortable. I had the classic eggs Benedict and it was Phenomenal! We took home some of the muffins and they were melt in your mouth delicious. 10 out of 10 and we will definitely visit again!

    Went there first thing in the morning. They were obviously busy being a breakfast joint. Loved the serving size of their food. Their chicken and waffles was good. The Purdue big breakfast was okay, wasn't a fan of the very sweet french toast but the eggs and sausages were pretty good. Good to try at least once!

    Our family frequents Mimi’s because we love the food and the atmosphere. BUT our favorite part of coming to Mimi’s is being taken care of by Kayla! We always ask for her to be our server and she always makes the experience even better. She interacts with our kids, remembers our favorite drinks, and treats us like family. Her service is always fast and accurate, which is so crucial with 4 young kids. My husband and I worked in food service for years so we appreciate when someone works hard and does a great job. Thank you to Mimi’s for your menu and kitchen staff and a big thank you to Kayla for keeping us coming back!!

    Fantastic menu and food. French press coffee was very good, and I ordered a croque monsieur and it was perfect! It's reasonably priced and delicious for a Polaris restaurant. I will come back. Thank you!

    My visit to Mimi’s unforgettable wonderful experience. Tasty food with a great costumer experience. You have to try the TRIO APPETIZER and BROCHETTE TRIO!. Ribeye steak WOW!. No words to say. Pot roast dinner, Meat loaf, Liver, onions a nd bacon, corn soup Shrimp skewers. Desert Bread pudding and Molten Lava cake. If I didn’t mention our server ‘Chase’ he was so attentive (never got a chance to call him for service). Very polite and helpful great service Chase. Will be back soon.

    Let me tell you this place is a must try in Polaris. Food is french style but they have a little bit of everything for everyone. As picture we ordered the parmesan chicken, French style pot roast, French onion soup and corn chowder. All were seasoned very well and the portion sizes are really big. They play a variety of mixed music which I love. There's definitely something there for everyone. They also have a daily desert menu which is a added plus.

    Very nice place! The food is really good, and the portions are generous. The outdoor sitting area is well maintained. Staff went above and beyond with their service. They are so friendly and cheerful, they made our day! Would love to come back whenever I visit Columbus again

  • 4/5 A. E. B. 2 years ago on Google
    Old school booths and decor, kitschy and unique. The menu is fairly expansive with breakfast served all day AND mimosas! Omelet was a bit too dry despite my request for it to be softer; mocha was delicious! Staff seemed reserved, definitely not the most welcoming feel.

  • 3/5 Bradley N. 4 months ago on Google
    Most expensive dinner I've ever paid for, I think? A combination of price and headcount. The service was attentive, we had 18% gratuity on the check, and the food arrived quick enough. I think most people were fine with their dinner but it wasn't winning any awards. The atmosphere is good for having a family dinner and chatting with loved ones, with plenty of seating.

  • 3/5 Eusmary M. 4 months ago on Google
    My experience visiting this place the first time was not really good. The food I ordered, the chicken was tasteless and the appetizer was not good at all. I don't know if I'll give it a second chance again.

    Visited Mimi's Cafe on Sunday morning for breakfast. The location is great, loved the interior decor as well. The staff were very friendly, and the service was excellent. Ordered a crepe which was DELICIOUS!!

    We chose to try Mimi's Cafe for breakfast. They did not disappoint. Fresh ingredients and a friendly staff makes all the difference.

  • 4/5 John H. 6 months ago on Google
    Been awhile since we ate here. We decided to come for breakfast at 11 am. Great server and not busy on a Thursday. Got the breakfast burrito.

  • 5/5 Ad G. 7 months ago on Google
    I just loved this place. Can’t wait to go back on the weekend. I added one of the cranberry orange muffins to my breakfast and that thing stayed fresh for two days until we finally finished it! Huge portions, great personal service and just a homey vibe. Make sure you try a muffin or the special!!

  • 5/5 Carly S. 7 months ago on Google
    My husband and I are staying at a nearby hotel and came for brunch. Very convenient location and ample parking! Food was excellent - the orange marmalade cream cheese is truly heavenly. Our server, Gabrielle, was wonderful. Attentive, friendly, cheery and checked in the perfect amount - present but not at all overbearing. We might even be back before we leave Columbus to try the dinner menu, which also looked phenomenal!

  • 5/5 Ohio R. 8 months ago on Google
    I’ve never had a bad meal here. The service is always attentive, the food is hot and delicious, and there’s barely a wait for a table. Love it!

  • 5/5 Carolyn C. 2 years ago on Google
    My family and I had a great experience at this location. They were busy, but the staff managed things well. The food we ordered came out in a reasonable amount of time and was as expected. They offer a kids menu and our children really enjoyed the chocolate chip puppy pancakes. They have indoor and outdoor seating.

    I’ve been a peeping customer for a while now and I’m starting to see a slight decline. Not with the food but with the restaurant itself. As I saw flies zooming by me throughout my dinner experience. The food was good as the mango habanero wings were great and not overly sauced. However my grandmother did not receive her Cesar salad when originally ordering it. The desserts took a while even though it wasn’t that crowded. But it was worth the wait as the crime brûlée was phenomenal.

  • 1/5 Donna T. 1 year ago on Google
    French toast under cooked. Chicken tenders tasted like they were cooked in fish grease. The jambalaya tasted like spicy tomato soup over rice. The Hamburger had no taste. Water was good. Server was very polite. Rafa the manger yelled at me and was very nasty and rude. I will never return to this restaurant.

  • 3/5 Same Ol G. 1 year ago on Google
    On a Sunday, it's busy around noon FYI. However my party of 7 waited maybe 20mins which is not bad. However, we sat at are table for at least 7-10mins before anyone spoke to us. Is it just me or is this hun/sweetie stuff getting old. This isn't a diner from the 60's/70's. The food was good is what the others said, well my breakfast tacos weren't and the fruit cups had slimy need to be thrown away strawberries and pineapples in there. Others ordered; pot roast, oatmeal, salmon omelette, crossiant egg white sandwich, crab cake egg Benedict and the chicken and waffles. Which the chix n waffles looked the best to me. Our server was nice, but couldn't handle her section. Our dirty dishes were all over the table to the very end, they forgot a few things we ordered. Wasn't the best service, I've been in foodservice for 20+ years and I expect basics when I go out. You know a hi my name is, or clearing dishes, or how about just basic communication and your presence. We we're done eating for like 10mins sitting there with empty plates in front of us. For about $200, I expected a little better. OHH THE APPLE CRISP 🍎 WAS AMAZING!!

  • 4/5 Maria B. 10 months ago on Google
    The food is certainly pricey, but I have enjoyed my meal every time I have visited. The atmosphere inside is homey, and if you go on a nice day, they have very nice outdoor patio seating! The servers are always kind & attentive, and there is something for everyone on their menu. Mimi's is my go-to breakfast/brunch spot!

  • 5/5 E G. 11 months ago on Google
    We tried this place as a whim and I am so glad we did. The staff there were so friendly. The place was clean and had a warm atmosphere. The food was so good and at a good price! I never had eggs benedict and wow was I impressed and now a lover of poached eggs. My daughter had the waffles and she said they were perfect (she is picky too). The muffins were big, you could definitely share and you can get them in a pack to go! Over all I highly recommend this place to try!

  • 5/5 Jeff E. 1 year ago on Google
    While in Columbus for a doctor visit, we decided to try this place out. My wife ordered the Pot Roast with mash potatoes. It came in a very large bowl, and I was surprised at the amount of meat. It was very tender and juicy. You could yell that it had been cooked from scratch. I ordered the roast beef with provolone and aju sauce for dipping and an order of fries. We decided to share both plates and enjoy them together. The pot roast was tender, and the juice was amazing. The mash potatoes were very smooth. My sandwich was very good, but the pot roast was the best as you can see from the photo. The waitress was very friendly and kept our glasses full!

    Was looking for a nice cafe to go to for Sunday breakfast. I came across Mimi’s so I figured I’d give it a try. I hade the cinnamon roll French toast and a cappuccino, and it was delicious! My girlfriend had that same and she enjoyed it as well. Nice breakfast place. The staff was very friendly.

  • 5/5 Carrie W. 1 year ago on Google
    I would like to try something else but I can never pass up the Eggs Benedict. My husband enjoyed his steak and eggs. The check kind of hurt, it cost $75 for two of us to have brunch including one mimosa each. The staff was high tier.

  • 4/5 K. W. 1 year ago on Google
    We had a breakfast birthday celebration for my son. 4 out of 5 of us enjoyed every bite. My son was given a warm muffin with ice cream which he loved! This place is huge so there was no waiting for a table and the service was good. The food came out looking picture perfect. My husband and I plan to come back for dinner.

  • 5/5 Kathy B. 2 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Teresa T. 2 years ago on Google
    Love the relaxed atmosphere and the food is always delicious. The patio has a water view with ducks. It's lovely.

  • 4/5 Ira D. 2 years ago on Google
    Pretty cool spot for breakfast. The service is prompt and friendly. The food presentation is eye-popping and jaw dropping. Delicious drinks (i.e. MimiMosa and Cafe Latte), the food was not as seasoned as I'd like it to be yet enjoyable. The noise level was pretty loud (my wife and I had to speak loudly to hear each other) but that be the only true negative. I'd go again.

  • 5/5 Bekki C. 2 years ago on Google
    The croissant sandwich was delicious! It would’ve been perfect if the yolk was runny but still very good cooked through. Added hot sauce for a kick. The potatoes were also very good. Husband had the chicken and waffles and the chicken was cooked perfectly and had a wonderful panko style breading.

  • 5/5 Heather Y. 2 years ago on Google
    The server was exceptional the chef came out to our table and made sure that my sisters order was correct (she's vegan) which was so cool . Food was delicious.. I had the stuffed French toast with blueberries and strawberries on top and cream cheese filling inside oh my God 😍
