Mimi’s Cafe

May 9th, 2010 admin 1 comment

Located at 301 N. 175th Plaza in Village Pointe Shopping Center is Mimi’s Cafe.  Founded in 1978 in Anaheim, California by Arthur Simms and his family, the franchise was purchased by Bob Evans Farms, Inc. in 2004 and it now operates in 22 states.  Mimi’s is open of breakfast, lunch and dinner for upscale dining with a “French” feel.  The artwork and decor inside the dining area is interesting, and the menu extensive. My wife and I chose meals from the fixed-price, three course dinner menu.  We each had the caesar salad starter and the Salmon Hollandaise and Asparagus entree.  The meals were served with mashed potatoes. The asparagus was a little overcooked and “stringy” but the rest of the meal was quite good.  My wife had the Chocolate Mousse for dessert, while I had a Raspberry Mousse.  Mimi’s is open 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily, and until 11:00 p.m. on Friday’s and Saturday’s.  Give it a try and Happy Motoring!

brix

After a brief stop at the Crescent Moon with my co-workers, Chris and Zach, my wife Jodeen and I headed to Village Point in West Omaha to check out brix.  Located just off N. 170th Street, brix is a one-of-a-kind wine, beer and spirits store that offers a wine bar lounge area, learning events, and casual shopping. Pronounced “Bricks”, the establishment takes it’s name from the measurement scale used in evaluating the sugar content of foods and beverages. With over 900 in-store selections to choose from, as well as expensive and in-expensive offerings, brix markets to a broad spectrum of consumers.  Our greeter and assistant, Brenda, was knowledgeable and friendly.  We lounged for awhile and enjoyed a glass of wine.  Meat and cheese trays can be purchased for approximately $10.  Store hours are located under the brix site link above.

Looking for inexpensive auto parts? Try searching for them on eBay. Often you can find new parts on eBay at a fraction of the cost you’d pay through a dealer.  Happy Motoring!
