Mimi's Cafe® bills itself as your "neighborhood bistro" - it does feel like it, too, with its interesting decor, the welcoming ambiance, the good food ("a taste of France") and the decent prices. It's a comfortable place to enjoy with your family - it's casual, small kids are welcome - or good friends. I love going to Mimi's Cafe® in Elkridge, MD. It's located right off Route 175 at the Gateway Overlook Center.
Last week was my friend Rosie's birthday. Rosie has a very special place not in only in my family but in my heart. We met a few years ago when she joined the office I was affiliated with and hit it off right away. We got along so great that our friendship naturally flowed into business as well and I followed her to the family-owned business of Thompson Company Realtors. I can count on Rosie and Rosie can count on me. It's priceless to be working with someone like Rosie.
Rosie has been there for me through the last couple deployments. She's my girls' 'adopted grandmother' and a great confidante .. bad days or good, Rosie is always there for us! Every January around her birthday we try to do something special for her and this year I took her out for dinner at Mimi's - what a wonderful evening we had. Great food, great wine and great conversation. At Mimi's we got the whole package.
Mimi's Cafe® has a nice balanced menu - balanced in that there are plenty of choices for picky eaters like me. I don't eat any meat that comes from 4-legged animals but I never have trouble finding a good dish at Mimi's. As a matter of fact I typically have a hard time deciding between 3 or so choices.. last night I ordered the pistachio-crusted salmon and it was delicious. Rosie opted for the 3-course special - at $13.99 a fabulous price - and enjoyed her salad and fillet of "Soul". Just the bread-pudding, which we shared, could have been a little less sweet ... I have a sweet tooth but this was a little too much even for me. That's okay though, I just had some more of the Mimi's Famous Carrot Raisin Nut Loaf instead.
I've enjoyed Mimi's with the in-laws & my parents, with hubby and the girls and now with Rosie - I had a great evening every time and I'm looking forward to the next! (*now I can't get that pistachio-crusted salmon out of my head .. I may have to return sooner rather than later*)
