Mimosa Restaurant + Deli in Colchester - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

What a fall from grace! We went for a nice family having not been for a couple of years and I have to say it was a disappointing experience. To begin with it looked like it was closed initially-having waited at the front desk for a couple of minutes we went to the middle bar to look for someone as there wasn’t anyone to greet us and the front bar was closed. It took a good couple of minutes further for the staff member to notice me standing there. The first waiter we had (Rishi) was amazing-very friendly and polite but then we got two different waitresses after who were polite but seemed uncaring. One was wearing an un-ironed oversized shirt which I personally don’t think looks smart especially half tucked/untucked-even if this was meant to look fashionable it didn’t it just looked messy. The restaurant was almost empty too! A few years ago it would have been busy so in my opinion I thinks it’s because they’ve let standards slip and people no longer see the value-I certainly didn’t. The starters were lovely and deserts. The main was disappointing though-I’m happy to pay £40 for a nice steak (which it was) but the presentation looked cheap and I would have expected a bit of salad garnish perhaps. The sauce was stone cold and congealed which was disgusting so I had to take it back up to the bar as I wasn’t going to wait for my food to get even colder before I got attention from a waiter/waitress. The replacement sauce was weak too-tasted more like watery Bisto. Totally ruined my main course and all we were offered was a free dessert (£10 compared to a £40 main). Looks as though they’ve cut back on staff due to cost which I understand to a certain degree but not when I personally am paying £200 for a meal out! Considering it was was empty the service should have been more attentive and I don’t like having different service staff throughout your meal because you get forgotten which is exactly what happened. We were really disappointed with our experience and probably won’t go back there again now which is obviously what others have also thought as it was dead for a Saturday night! Awful 80s music too. Elysium Group…looks nice but your standards have slipped dramatically…sad times when competition is high-I’ve been to better restaurants in Colchester and paid a fraction of the price for a meal. Just look at the photo and ask yourself if that looks like a £40 main course?

Disappointing food, services & atmosphere. Beautiful restaurant, with only a few dinners meant it lacked atmosphere. Staff slow to take drinks order and not at all attentive. The menu was limited. Starters were really nice, but my seabass, potatoes & green beans were swimming in melted butter. The waiter did offer another dish, and was very good, but everyone else would have finished if I placed another order.

Fabulous for meetings. Meg is great and just the right level of attentive and chatty and gives us our space. But knows when we want more drinks! Thank you.

Tasty lunch with big group from the group menu. Justyna and Sonia made our disabled group very welcome. Eton mess desert excellent 👌🏻

Fantastic space, Sonia and Justyna helped massively in atmosphere.

Amazing food, fantastic service from Rishi Thank you!

We had the most wonderful evening! Beautifully grilled calamari, breaded whitebait, homemade scotch egg and pulled pork Benedict starters followed by beautifully cooked sea bass, lamb tagine, traditional fish and chips and steak burgers. Everyone loved their food and our staff were so helpful and attentive. Family friendly and a great children’s menu. We finished our meal with the cheese board, cheesecake and chocolate fudge brownies. We fully recommend and will be back soon! Thank you to trip advisor for helping us find this treasure!

It was a shame really as the actual evening itself was nice, food was prompt and the cocktails were lovely, HOWEVER, really let down by paying an extra £40 on top of our drinks bill for drinks we didn't order, we were a group of 10 but we all paid pretty much as we went along to ensure we wouldn't have an outstanding bill at the end. The red flag was that a Strawberry and Cream drink was on the receipt which none of us had or ordered... I can only assume they added drinks to our table that weren't ours. We all paid our food money up front to our friend so pop on one card in order to avoid this, and all knew what drinks we had ordered, which wasn't alot as we all left very sober. There was no system for them to tell us what had been paid for, which is very odd! They only put in the amount and no the item purchased!!

Manager chewing gum. Lovely!!. Lots of space, but everyone crowded together just to make the restaurant look busier than normal. It is very difficult for them if you don't like the seat and want to be moved. Uncomfortable wooden seats. Who's idea was that? Disappointing menu. Sunday roast chicken was dry but had a nice flavour. Good amount of food just could have been presented better. Decor is awful and confusing. What's with the golden dinosaur? 🦖 we will not be going back. Trying too hard to be something it isn't. What a shame.

As requested by loudly shouting across the restaurant “sarcastically” by manager Justina we should give 1 star review. She had already taken payment from my partner and teared up the bill in front of our faces because we politely declined paying £50 service charge The reason being we had to repeatedly remind staff to bring out our orders that seemed to have been forgotten, some did net even arrive and we just choose to forget about them. This was First time visiting this restaurant and considering the size, menu and decor, we was expecting something a bit special and it to be busy on a bank holiday weekend, there was just one other table being occupied, should have been red flags straight away! However decided to stay The bill came to £450 so considering we was paying a fair amount and the restaurant only having one other table we thought the service would have been better. But it was absolutely terrible! And the manager (so she called herself) Was vile, when confronted about the ripping of the bill and the “give us a 1star” comment she was speechless but blatantly smirked and laughed as our backs would turn to gather our belongings Again we questioned her rudeness and disgusting behaviour, but she gave no comment But continued to laugh as we left She really did embarrass herself and let the restaurant down Obviously there was more to this but we cannot understand why, we was polite and caused no problem whatsoever, we did not even complain about certain items that did not arrive, we never complain. all we could make of the situation is that one of the servers was foreign and could not understand or speak English properly To take our payment first and then afterwards treat customers with this level of disrespect is very brave considering the lack of customers they had, I doubt they can afford to carry on with this management and customer service. 1 star given, does not even deserve that, will Definitely not be returning or recommending

We were taken care of by the wonderful cassia, she was very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed to celebrate our anniversary ❤️ the venue is gorgeous and is an intimate dining experience in the evening with spotlighted tables. Thank you cassia and team for making it special! And especially for the beautiful plate you brought out for us! Xx

This place use to be fantastic now it’s gone so far down hill it’s appalling. Starters awful swimming in grease. Steak was meant to be medium. Actually very well done. Group of 6 of us there and the service was terrible. Food wasn’t good for the price our bill was £600 with drinks. Totally overpriced and not how it ever used to be. Sad to see the downfall.

Booked Saturday evening Very nice restaurant, nice relaxed atmosphere , great service from the waitress, looked after me and my partner from start to finish, good wine list , food was very nice had the fillets ,cooked very well, will definitely book again , above avarage price but worth it ... overall, very pleasant ..

Steak (tomahawk ) was super, veg was bland , garlic mushrooms were bland no where enough garlic. Had bread and dips enough for 2/3 people, shame as there were 4 of us .. and at £300 over priced

Lovely food, AWFUL outside, glamorous inside...firstly, let's start by saying we highly rate the Elysium group, both Pavilion & Hudson are superb venues, and Mimosa (although an odd location) certainly carries the same level of grandeur upon entry to the interior and with regards to its high level of food. It was a sunny morning, so we decided to have breakfast outdoors, we walked through the lavish interior and to the back area. At first glance the outside looked nice, but as we went to get a chair we saw they were actually rotting we went to another table, the wood was peeling and there was green algae on the chair, we walked to a booth but the seating had partially collapsed, we eventually sat in the one spot that looked "ok" only to see coffee stains on the table, then looked up to see cracks and spliters in the wood with rust lanterns hanging down. To be honest, the outside area was an absolute shambles. It really should not have been open to the public in such a state. It needs an awful lot of landscaping work, cleaning and brand new furniture. On a positive, the food was very good, the service was OK (albeit a little slow) and overall we would go back.... I just really hope the management can put some money towards improving the neglected outdoor area, especially when the sun is out and people will want to use that space.

I went last night for a friends birthday and there was 15 of us. We all had to pre order our meals a few days prior and I ordered Brie for starter and Sirloin for my main. The restaurant wasn't that busy and the food took a very long time to come out and everything didn't come at the same time, there could be a 5 minute period where the burgers would come out then the steaks after. The worst part was that after waiting nearly 10 minutes after everyone else's starters came out mine still didn't come out so I let the waitress know and it took another 10 minutes for mine to come out at this point everyone had finished their starter. The starter however was really nice but could have been slightly bigger. Again when everyone's mains came out I waited another 10 minutes and mine was nowhere to be seen. I told the waitress and it took another 5 minutes for the manager to come over and ask me what I ordered at this point I just decided to change to a burger as I didn't want to wait so long. It took another 15 minutes for my food to come out and everyone else had long since finished, I ate all my fries and a bit of the burger which was pretty basic but I was just annoyed at the experience at this point. The staff didn't apologise for the service and didn't explain why both my dishes were missed out. The manager didn't even come over but was happy for me to pay full price. I wouldn't mind if it was really busy and they were rushed off their feet but it wasn't. I'd suggest when it's like this they could put everyone in one section of the restaurant so servers can move between tables easier. Quite a few of my tables food also came out cold. I wouldn't go back here and wouldn't recommend. Most of the staff are nice but seem to ignore problems with service and also didn't apologize for both of my courses being forgotten about.

Have visited before for a steak meal. This time, we went for breakfast. Can't fault the menu, service, quality, flavours or the value. Slight down mark is because everything was not as hot as it could be. Will be back.

Fantastic food. Great venue, great service. Rishi was fantastic. He was great from start to finish. Definitely management material. Starters great, mains great, desert was great and drinks were outstanding.

This place was very smart, thoroughly enjoyed the food. The atmosphere and decor was very appealing. My waiter Rishi was extremely welcoming and smiley!

We arrived a little late for breakfast but Rishi who served us was very kind to get us the breakfast menu and look after our orders. The food itself was very very good! I had a ham & cheese omelette that was perfectly seasoned. I even found myself dancing to the background music 😅 The service was good, food great and I would definitely come back again :)

Came here for breakfast and the waiter Rishi was amazing!! Made us feel very comfortable and accommodating with our dietary requirements. We had a lovely time!

Overpriced and underwhelming, very poor menu.Drinks are very expensive especially the wine and watch out for the service charge

Avoid this place at all costs. Awful food and extremely poor service. No wonder this place was dead on a Saturday night. I certainly will not return.

Had lunch today with my son. We had a selection of starters, mainly seafood. Every dish was well presented and delicious. The banquettes are very comfortable and the service was fast and couldn't be faulted. I don't recommend much, but I would this place.

I dined at Mimosa for dinner, and I highly recommend it. The atmosphere was delightful, the presentation was lovely, and the taste was excellent. The cocktail was beautifully crafted; I especially enjoyed the presentation.

Great food,even better company,celebrating Valentines night.

The service was absolutely amazing, especially the manager Kasia and my waitress Justyna. Exceptional food, the salmon was stunning! The head chef Javier is doing an outstanding job!

12 of us went for my brothers 50th on a Thursday night. Only another 2 tables of 2 eating. First of all the table we wanted had no light. We were using our phones torch to read the menu but they said they couldn’t turn the lights on 🤷🏻‍♀️. We moved to another table so we could actually see what we were ordering and eating. It took forever for the starters to come out but one fish cake didn’t come until 20 mins after we had all finished ours. The waitress dropped scallops all over the back of one of our guests. That scallops came out again within minutes and yet the fish cake didn’t. The steak and lamb mains were nice but the steak burgers were lacking. They then decided they wanted £65 service charge which we obviously queried and reduced to £20. How they had the audacity to charge us beyond me. I wouldn’t recommend and am certainly not going back. Overpriced and not worth it. As they only had 4 other diners, I think locally this is known not to be a place to go. Never will go back.

Beautiful restaurant but everything else "meh". Food is edible but average. Nothing special at all. Cheesecake was not cheesecake. Service was questionable.

We enjoyed our meal for 4 at Mimosa. The food was good, especially the porterhouse steak for 2-3 which was ample for 3. We had it medium rare. The table service was good but the maitre d' was quite slow to greet and seat and some clearer information about parking would have been helpful.

The food was lovely and had quick service. All the staff were very friendly, Rishi was our sever, he was very friendly and attentive.

I would never recommend this restaurant to anyone. The staff were grossly incompetent and did not fit any expectations. We were seated at 20:30 and by 22:35 our food had still not arrived, when asking the staff how long will it be they kept saying it’ll be 5 minutes or it’s being plated up now which was purely a lie to keep us happy. The excuse of it’s “busy” when not even 40% of the restaurant was occupied and knowing that it’s a popular time of the year to go out to eat you would expect them to have more staff working to fulfil this “demand” if they purely could not cope. We decided that it had got too late after waiting nearly 2 hours for our food and asked to pay for our drinks we had so we could leave to which the manager was completely blaze about the situation and kept repeating “it’s being plated up” when clearly it was not. The waitresses behind the bar when we was attempting to pay for our drinks was blatantly speaking about how “impatient” we was being and was told by the manager to be quiet and go away is completely unprofessional. And the audacity for them to add a service charge to our bill when what service did we actually receive! Would never recommend to any person I know and will never be going back!

Valentines meal Ordered starters and main to wait 45 minutes for the starter, then waited a further 1 hour and 40 minutes for the main after several times asking how much longer it would be. Steak cold chips burning hot mushrooms under cooked, complained only to be told there’s another booking at our table so there’s not time to re cook our meals, we spent a total of 3 hours and 20 minutes at the table and I find this totally unacceptable. Totally disgusting service from the manager and staff with no respect for the customer, will not be returning and would advise against this restaurant.

Been here before and was a great experience. This time can only be described as disappointing especially as was valentines dinner. Service - Slow 45 minutes for starter and another 45 for main. Food - mediocre is being kind. Steak underdone and had better fries in mcdonalds, salad - starving rabbits would have left it. Couple on the next table walked out on being informed kitchen had forgotten to cook their meals. Give this place a miss

Really disappointing breakfast. Took 40 mins for orders to come (wasn’t even busy), Food was either cold or overcooked. We didn’t pay for food only drinks after complaining to Manager This was the second time I had eaten at Mimosa, the first time wasn’t great. Won’t be returning

Gorgeous restaurant and amazing food

Went there for a special occasion, sadly it lacked. Took ages for our order to be taken, the starters were nice but the mains left took about an hour to come out, orders were incorrect and food was cold. Won't be going back anytime soon!

Yesterday I had booked for 4 of the girls to go to Mimosa like we have many times. There’s been a change in management since we last went. We arrived and the female manager with brown hair and glasses who we assumed to be the manager had a very condescending attitude. This was intimidating my friends and I are in the age range of 25-28 and she spoke to us like children. We ordered simple things 1 x fish and chips 2 x Burgers & a Ribeye steak and a few side’s from ordering our food to arriving at our table took an hour and 15 minutes, the restaurant was not even a quarter full. Our food was cold and half of the sides we had asked for were missing, I went to talk to the manager who completely dismissed the fact that we had waited so long and the food was cold with missing items ordered, she didn’t try to rectify this by any means or offer any solution. I must say the cocktails served by the Bar team were amazing and made with care Again this was my birthday meal, I was wearing a birthday badge and my friend had given them my Birthday cake to bring out. I went back to the table and waited another 5 minutes for the food we had missed to come. It didn’t I gave the waiter my food at this point as it was freezing, the girls had finished their meal (most of the food had been left bar the ribeye) and told the waiter I no longer wanted it. The waiter was lovely, I can’t remember his name but he was a young guy with black hair and glasses. I had tears in my eyes and just wanted to get out of the restaurant to make the most of the rest of my birthday night, we had asked for the bill 3 times & repeatedly had to ask for the service charge and burger I gave back to be taken off. The food was being served without the hot pass on, (we could see into the kitchen where we were sat) guests were complaining about their food on the table behind us, The difference was the manager went over to them I can only assume this is because they were older ladies. She gave them the respect all of the customers deserve regardless of age and status. I worked in Mimosa previously when under Diego as director and Catalin and James as managers. I’m an avid fan of the owner's venues in and around Colchester I.E pavilion, Hudson. We usually get the Tomahawk and I’m so glad we didn’t pay £90 for food that seemed like it was made hours ago and left out to go cold. At this point, my friend asked for my birthday cake back as we were going to go somewhere else to get food. The manager laughed at her, gave her the cake & rolled her eyes. I have never experienced such disrespect, disregard and Ageism on my birthday from my favourite restaurant !! I will not be returning. The service and the whole night was horrible, no one should cry at a restaurant on their birthday. I hope the owner reads this and thinks about who he trusts being the face of his business. I would come to Mimosa for all occasions and talk about this restaurant with such high regard I am so upset that I can no longer do this.

Early birthday evening meal at Mimosa was a fantastic experience, delicious food, even better cocktails, and a special mention for our attentive waiter Rishi, huge smiles, vibrant personality, exceptional service throughout. Thank you Rishi

We went for brunch on a Sunday morning, it's was very quiet and quite cold. When we asked the staff if the heating could be turned up, they said there wasn't much they could do. However, they did however make every effort to get us a blanket and apologised. We soon warmed up and enjoyed the food we ordered. Gareth and his team were very attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed. First time I had experienced Mimosa, I would return as the customer service was brilliant. Thank you

Lovely food and friendly staff.

gareth was amazing all evening. so friendly, and really helpful helping us choose a wine !

Nice to see Mimosa back open for breakfast on a Sunday. very good food and hats off to both Gareth & Justyna, great friendly service

Unfortunately we have just had one of the most disappointing experiences we’ve ever had, we have family from America visiting and wanted to take them to what we thought was a lovely restaurant, our table was booked for 6.45 and we had our toddler with us, wasn’t busy at all so we ordered our toddlers food straight away and ordered our starters and drinks, an hour had passed and our toddlers starter wasn’t even out so we asked how long this would be and told 5 minutes another 20 minutes passed until it came out we waited even longer for our starters, 2 hours after ordering our starters came out and we waited another half an hour before our plates were cleared it then got to 9pm and still no sign of our mains, we asked the bar staff and waiters who said they would chase up, we then requested to speak to the manager about getting mine and my partners boxed up to go as it was 9pm and our toddler was getting so tired and they still were not out, only to be told that they hadn’t even began to make any of our party’s meals, we then said we would like to cancel our whole tables orders as we will go elsewhere, we asked what the delay was and told that there wasn’t enough kitchen staff, we completely understand that things happen sickness etc but we should of been told this upon arrival or upon ordering, the manager bluntly responded that she decided to go into the kitchen and help instead of telling people of a delay which is absolutely ridiculous. We also noticed at this point that the other 5 tables in the restaurant had no food either so everyone was waiting. We were left completely disappointed and hungry, this has ruined our last family night together and we will certainly never return to this poorly run restaurant.

Poor and overpriced food. We visited for an impromptu lunch whilst in the area. The venue is nice but I have had better food in a cafe. Fries pre cooked and rubbery, chicken skewers x 2 and bland rice with no accompaniment for £16 then charged additional fee for a sauce. A steak sandwich which was steak on one half of a baguette is not a sandwich. Please look up the meaning of the word sandwich in the dictionary. We were robbed of nearly £50 for a very mediocre lunch and guess what, we won’t go back.

Great friendly welcome from Rishi who went out of his way to ensure excellent service also Gareth. Great team. No rush just great food and service. Will be back.

Our business party of 9 had the most pleasant morning with great service, food and drink. Thank you for having us & would highly recommend for business or pleasure.

Varun was an excellent server and made the experience all the more enjoyable. Gareth was amazing as well and took some great photos of the group and myself. The food was perfect!!

Had a amazing meal and lovely service from a Varun and Gareth - made the evening! Thankyou and will be back soon!!

Gareth and varun, amazing service and food!

Fabulous food and Fabulous staff, particularly Gareth. Lovely atmosphere and ambiance. We were looked after extremely well from the minute we arrived. 👌

Went for works Christmas lunch so there was a crowd but I'd only rate as just above average. Pro's: Pre-arrival they were accommodating and helpful. Quality of food was good. Polite and pleasant staff Con's: The service was a little slow, portion sizes were on the small side for what we paid. The ladies toilet floor had a hole in it which was a significant trip hazard

Fixed meal Starter was a good standard Main the won’t have better description beef stew was Ok but the smash potato was watery and other parts of the main meal was of poor quality. Sweet so called sticky pudding with ice cream was substandard Ice cream was good but little of it, dry out ginger bread cake with no sauce was meant to be the sticky pudding with a load of ground biscuits crumps over it very poor. We have eaten here before a few years ago and it was very good unlike this visit. The restraint layout and fittings are of a high standard unlike the food they served. No wounded why not many guests were booked and appeared to be approx ten percent used on what should have been nearly full. So I expect the standard of the food being served has become general knowledge. So sad if no changes are not made.

A quiet day at Mimosa but a warm welcome from Gareth, and the team, really made our visit special. Food was great, six very satisfied diners!

Had a lovely Boxing day dinner with the family today. Food lovely, staff great. Gareth was so kind and accommodating for us. Thank you.

A really lovely meal and absolutely great service. Thankyou so much for a lovely Christmas Day with our family

Service was really poor Hardly listened to the order and then got it wrong, everyone had a main meal Except me, they forgot! Shame as the food was good

Gareth was fantastic, very attentive. Would highly recommend a hidden gem on the outskirts of Colchester

Went for work Christmas lunch. The staff were friendly and helpful. Service was quick and efficient and the food was very nice.

Went for lunch with my family today. Food was excellent as was Gareth’s service.

Lovely Christmas eve meal, warm friendly environment and Gareth was a great host. Always a treat to see him.

Food was great as was service from Gareth. He made the experience very special with his friendly approach and great customer service.

Great lunch, and lovely service from Gareth as usual!

Went for Xmas dinner. Restaurant was empty which didn’t help the atmosphere. The food was very average. The service could have been better due to lack of customers

Team were great - thanks to Gareth, Justyna and Shantu. Nice food and pleasant experience. We will definitely come back

We decided last minute to go out for a roast which was lovely but Gareth really made our evening! He was fantastic with the children and made our whole experience that much better.! Thank you Gareth!

Always great food and friendly service - it always feels like a treat and I am so glad breakfast is back! Thank you!

We went for dinner last night for a friend's birthday. The food was good but the whole evening was elevated by one of our servers, Gareth. A real people person, friendly and charming without being unprofessional. Gareth is the jewel in their crown, and we'd...

Enjoyed the meal with our friends, but Gareth made the night special. Sooo good at his job. Friendly, accommodating, great menu advice and most importantly, one of the nicest guys we’ve ever met. 10/10.

Can't fault the food. It was excellent. Service staff were great. The only thing that was a huge let down was the hour and twenty minute wait between the starter and main course.

Full English breakfast was great (and I have a big appetite) more than filled me up. Family member had pancakes which were also lovely. Great service from Gareth who was very attentive and funny. Will be back for sure

Great venue, lovely food reasonably priced. And a big thank you to Gareth who served us, who made our experience faultless. Well done will definitely be back 👏👏👏

Fantastic meal made even better by Gareth who was extremely accommodating with our family. Very informative with the menu and very good with our children.

Great breakfast, Gareth was very welcoming and efficient. Food was freshly prepared, beautifully presented and delicious.

Sat here now waiting almost 3 hrs for our main course, no explanation. no apologies,disgusting service !!!

Went for a Tuesday lunch/dinner and was the only people in their which meant Gareth our waiter could give us so much time to make sure we was happy!

Our waiter Graham was so lovely and friendly, and our meal was delicious. We had a lovely afternoon. Ty 🤩

Gareth took great care of us and made us feel very welcome today . 05/12/23

As soon as I arrived, Gareth made me feel really welcome, finding a suitable table for my pram. He then went above and beyond to prepare me something not on the main menu as I only wanted a sandwich. He was friendly and professional, and...

We had a lovely brunch at Mimosa. From the minute we walked in we were made to feel welcome. Our waiter Gareth was fabulous - friendly, funny and attentive but not too much so. The food was good and a lovely atmosphere. Great for a girls catch-up, we will be back! P.S. It was a bit chilly in the restaurant, but the weather was freezing outside that day!

Overall a very nice place. There was an over powering table of idiots that were extremely loud and spoilt the evening. Staff are too young to notice or to do anything.

Met some friends for a brunch. Everyone had fab food with excellent service, especially by Gareth. It was a little cold on the heating front, (hence the 4/5 rating) but it was a morning meal, so not many bodies in the restaurant and it was...

Very disappointing meal. The place was empty at 8pm on a Friday night - no atmosphere. It was freezing inside everyone at the tables were wearing coats. Our food took forever to come despite it being empty. All our food was cold, lukewarm at best (half our table were salads so there weren’t many hot meals to get out at the same time). My friend is vegan and when I asked what she could have as there was nothing on the main menu they said “the side salad!” Won’t be going back!

Absolutely awful. Don’t go. We had our coats on all evening as it was so cold. To be told by manager ‘oh I know but we have the heating on full!!!!’ One meal went back as it was cold another one was cold and inedible...

The venue is beautiful, but it was very cold in there so spoilt the meal.

Gareth was so amazing - perfect service x

We had a lovely family Sunday roast today! The food was delicious!! The waitresses were really attentive and friendly. I only gave 4 stars because the restaurant was freezing cold! Apart from that lovely time and food haf by all..

The food was delicious for me, personally. That's my only positive comment. One of our group had his steak over done (supposed to be medium rare, came up WELL done. It shook the table when he tried to cut it!). He was told a new one would be out for him in a few minutes and the waitress took the who plate away, sides and all. 20 minutes later, after everyone else had finished, the waitress brought back a plate with one nicely cooked plate, and nothing else. No chips, salad, just the steak. With everyone else finished, the person didn't really want to eat on his own, especially not a bit of meat on its own! When we complained, the waitress was not helpful, saying they wouldn't take the steak off and gave him a free coke (!). The person next to him received the wrong order main and dessert. It would be fine but the waitress was outwardly frustrated and it tainted the dining experience. In general, it was slow, but we expect that from Mimosa having been there a few times, we know it's going to be slow. An hour to get drinks and starters, given we'd pre-ordered, was a bit much. My review would not be so negative if someone, at any point, had said "I'm really sorry about that". Not once was there an apology about the long waits, wrong food being put down, or steak being cooked terribly.

Staff really polite and helpful throughout.The place is beautiful and the food was lovely. My husband was more than satisfied with his chicken escalope.If you haven’t yet you have to try the lemon meringue pie gorgeous dessert with a nice twist.

I eat out a lot and I must say both my starter and my main at mimosa on Saturday were outstanding. I had the frazzled duck to start which was so tasty and the textures were fabulous. I ordered the asparagus for main, not something...

Second visit. Second time disappointed. Multiple items not available in menus. Waitress verging on rude. Kitchen capacity unable.to cater for 2 large tables yet most other seats empty. Colleague dropped keys down back of chair. So we moved it out to find them, it was...
