Mimi's Cafe @ the Avenues, TERRIBLE!!
My friends and I were down in Jacksonville for Georgia/Florida weekend. On Friday afternoon, we decided to go out to eat. We ended up at The Avenues at a restaurant called Mimi's Cafe. We expected a long wait time, because it was already crowded outside. While we were waiting, we went to the bar to have some drinks. One of the guys ordered a Bloody Mary from the bartender. She was extremely rude, and snatched his ID from him, when she was checking to make sure he was of age. The drink was made carelessly and sloppy. In addition, the bartender had a major attitude problem. We let that slide, because we were super hungry and just wanted to eat. To make our ordering time shorter, we decided to look over the menus. I approached one of the hosts and asked for a menu to look over. She said "WHAT?!" in a very rude manner, and I repeated the question, asking for a menu. She picked up a menu and literally tossed it at me, and rolled her eyes. NO EXAGERATION! (She looked to be 18 or 19) Meanwhile, the wait staff was all but pushing us out of the way with rude EXCUSE ME'S!! At that point, we decided to give back our pager for our table and walk out. No one acknowledged our presence there. If that was any reflection of the food, I did not want any bit of it. Instead, we took our business to a local restaurant on the beach, and spent over $200 on drinks, food, and the tip. I will NEVER, EVER, EVER recommend Mimi's to anyone. I was very dissatisfied with the service, and that was upon entering the door. I would hate to imagine what the service would have been like if we had decided to stay and eat.
