Unfortunately these ribs were not anything to talk about.  They were bathing in a sea of BBQ Sauce and fell off the bone as I picked them up; the ribs were sopping wet.  Their BBQ sauce just doesn&#8217;t really work with ribs, it&#8217;s great to dip fries in though.  The cole slaw was blah as well.  I ended up only eating half of my rack and when the waitress came over she asked if I&#8217;d like to box the rest up, I explained to her that I just didn&#8217;t really care for the ribs, she gave me a concerned look and walked off.  A couple minutes later the manager walks up and asks me about the ribs, and I tell her that they just weren&#8217;t really that good, and that they were sopping wet in sauce, she apologized for the meal and charged me only for a half rack!  I was really impressed that the waitress was attentive to my displeasure and that she did something about it.<\/p>\n<p>So although my meal was less then fantastic, the service was exceptional!\u00a0 Plus it&#8217;s really nice being able to sit down outside by the Harbor\/Newport intersection and enjoy some fresh air.<\/p>\n<p>Visit on Thursday, 10\/16\/08 around 5:30 PM<\/p>\n<p>[xrr rating=1\/5] for the meal<br \/>\n[xrr rating=5\/5] for the service<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mimi&#8217;s Cafe<\/strong><br \/>\n1835 Newport Blvd<br \/>\nCosta Mesa, CA 92627<br \/>\n(949) 722-6722<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is really just a mini review of Mimi&#8217;s Cafe in Costa Mesa.\u00a0 We went there last night for dinner.\u00a0 First off what happened to their menu?\u00a0 It appears that a number of items are no longer present.\u00a0 I asked the waitress and she said that that are more items on the lunch menu as [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[29,53],"class_list":{"0":"post-559","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-oc-food-reviews","7":"tag-american","8":"tag-costa-mesa","9":"czr-hentry"},"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pgNGWN-91","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/inocnetwork.com\/eatinorange\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/559","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/inocnetwork.com\/eatinorange\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/inocnetwork.com\/eatinorange\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inocnetwork.com\/eatinorange\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inocnetwork.com\/eatinorange\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=559"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/inocnetwork.com\/eatinorange\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/559\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/inocnetwork.com\/eatinorange\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=559"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inocnetwork.com\/eatinorange\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=559"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inocnetwork.com\/eatinorange\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=559"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
