A: What happened Mimi's? Was it the economy? Did you just get really bad really fast and I didn't even notice it? Mimi's was introduced to me when I lived in Reno, NV during my college years. I tended to like the restaurant, although a bit pricey for a college student, I still indulged every once and awhile. Even though it was chain - it was quaint. But this Mimi's.... yikes, not even close to what I remember Mimi's to be. First off the place is so ridiculously loud it reminds me of being in my middle school cafeteria. Not even high school - MIDDLE SCHOOL. Loud, obnoxious, you have to yell across the table at your fellow diners. I could barely hear what my boyfriend was saying half the time we were eating. Next - food! Honestly I'd like to give the food 1 star, especially their selections. $1.99 to add on soup or salad? SHEESH. Come on Mimi's... is your soup and salad made from gold? I don't think so. I had the $10.99 lunch time special, basically I thought it was the only thing on the menu that was worth the price. It came with your choice of an entree and a soup or salad. I picked the French Onion Soup and the Brie Burger. I should have known better than ordering the Brie Burger. Brie is a delicious cheese, but done poorly it is tasteless and this was definitely tasteless. This burger was a catastrophe. TINY piece of brie, seriously, you can't even give me a big hunk of brie? You have to have a bunch of it to get the taste! Also, the burger was supposed to have dijon on it, which I thought would be an amazing addition. NOPE. They gave me half a shmear of Dijon. I could barely taste it! This burger should be ashamed of itself. And about the soup.... how dare you screw up French Onion soup Mimi's. This is the one place where Americans might extend their culinary desires and order some delicious "French" food. But no. You can't even do that right. A sad little crouton, barely any onions, and although the cheese was melted nicely on top there was NONE IN THE SOUP! Who does that? ARGH! Lastly, the Mimi's in Reno (at least when I was there) were not stingy with the complimentary bread. Our waitress brought us THREE pieces of bread. There are two of us. WHY would you bring two people THREE pieces of bread? You can't even bring two of each? Two of the rolls and two of the brown bread? COME ON!! Mimi's management must be cracking down on their servers here and the economy must be cracking down on Mimi's. From the experiences I used to have, compared to what it is now is just sad, sad, sad.

A: Ahh...was ALMOST 5/5...I'll explain why I gave this place a 4 below So, I needed a good place to bring my fiance to for his birthday. Something classy yet romantic. New and exciting yet delicious. Friends referred me to Europea, saying that although the food isn't worth what you pay for it, the overall experience is. So, wanting to pamper my fiance, off to Europea we went! Upon entering, we were happy with the ambience and the nice reception we were greeted with. We were seated in a secluded area of the restaurant upstairs - something I was grateful for. We looked at the menus, and quickly made our decision. Fiance was to take the 12 course tasting menu, and I would take the table d'hote with the fois gras for an extra $12. A half bottle of wine for $45 was also decided on (yes, 45 is a bit much for less than 12oz of wine......). So, I won't go into ALL the details regarding the food, but I will say that we were really happy with all the "surprises" from the kitchen ranging from cheese lollipops and cigars to charcuterie hung from a wire by a clothespin to little sponge cakes from bordeaux and more. We were also very pleased with the presentation of all the food. Sure, they could have just put everything in bowls and on plates, but they went above and beyond to be as creative as possible when serving food. The staff was very friendly and accommodated our requests, and although at times I wondered if it was too expensive, I decided that the service surpassed ANY restaurant I've been to in North America, and so it was fine. My only tiny piss off was the fact that the fois gras I paid an extra $12 for was kind of gross. My fiancee gladly ate it (although the same thing was to be brought to him a few courses later). What we did instead was ask the waiter if it was possible to remove the $12 charge and simply not bring my fiance his portion. We were told that this wasn't possible. Seeing as to how I did order it, I gladly accepted that. The problem for me was when the waiter came around 2 minutes later and apologetically asked me if he could bring me a different appetizer instead (one that was part of my table d'hote). I said sure and when he asked me what I wanted, I told him to bring whatever (assuming that it was for free since he was the one who proposed). So, he brought me a bison tartare which was to DIE for. However, I must admit that I felt VERY ripped off when the bill came, and I was charged an extra $20 for this appetizer on top of the $70 table d'hote and the $12 fois gras bringing my THREE course meal to be more expensive than my fiance's TWELVE course meal!!! I didn't fuss about it because I didn't want to put a dent in our good night, but that move definitely left a sour taste in my mouth. Up until then, I was saying that I would definitely go back, but now I'm not so sure. All in all, it was a cool experience. Would I go back?? Unfortunately no, but definitely give it a try! (I mean after all, who doesn't love cotton candy with dessert??) I'm really sad our waiter had to put that crappy move on us..otherwise, I'd be making reservations right now for next weekend! :|
Problem: What would be an example of an negative (OPTIONS:

Answer: Whoa. My experience here was so bad, it is almost laughable. The most notable? Um...cleaning paste in the eye. And then the hygienist had the nerve to say, "I cannot seem to wipe it off, it only seems to be spreading." Follow that with a face full of water. I said, "Don't you offer glasses?" And she responded, "Oh, if you ask." And never proceeded to bring me a pair. Once I was with the dentist, I told him about my pain when eating, so he decided to file my crown ever so slightly. OK. But when I left the office, I realized that they (both the dentist and the hygienist) let me actually leave the office with that blue film on my teeth! Who does that!? It only adds to the pain that they INSISTED that I have new X-rays (even though I brought mine with me from last year), for a total experience of $233.00. The free lip balm doesn't cut it.
Q: negative

A:
We have been there several times in the past few month and always loved it, that's why we kept coming back! Last night though, not so great! We ordered protein bowls both with brown rice and the rice was just one big clump of overcooked mush, gross. Also there were hardly any veggies and tofu, not like the other times we ordered the same dishes! That's not a great experience, but, what bothers me the most is the fact that the girl behind the counter couldn't care less about my complaints and she had the most annoying look on her face it was incredible!! She didn't try at all to make it any better, all she did was handing me a side of sauce straight from the fridge for my hot/warm dish to put on and let me know that there is usually no sauce in the dish except a little on the tofu! I am in the hospitality myself and I know that not everything can always be perfect but if its not than you have to at least try to make it right for your customers! Also, place had a ton of dirty tables and though there were like 3 people behind the counter and no other customers beside us, the tables did not get cleaned in the 30 minutes we were there ! Very disappointing
