Restaurant Mimosa — Restaurant in Berlin

Editing the original review to reply to your reply: I provided no comment mainly because I was hoping to avoid the somewhat confrontational finger-pointing reaction that other negative reviews have received. But since that didn't work, here goes. I left the review a few minutes after leaving the restaurant. I was not satisfied and am not sure what makes you say I was. Leaving negative reviews is not morally questionable. I care both about the business owners as well as the restaurant-goers. If everybody only ever left positive reviews, they would not mean anything and would not incentivize anyone to run a good business. As for the review: On entering, I found the atmosphere peculiar. It was a tad too dark and reminded me of a school cafeteria with everybody sort of tucked away to the side. The decor was okay. The mens bathroom doubles as a storage space and that could be improved. I found the brunch menu confusing and on the expensive side. Galettes were not available. The service was utterly disorganized. Me and my partner waited a long time to get the menu and for every next step. The waiter first brought us the wrong coffee. We had to explicitly ask for cutlery after being served our food, as did most other tables. Another table also had to ask for cups after being brought just a teapot. The bad chemistry between yourself and the waiter was constantly on display and did not improve the atmosphere. My pancake with bacon and scrambled eggs initally came with very little bacon, but I do appreciate that you later topped me and another customer up with more bacon without our asking for it. The negative points above could all be offset by the food. Unfortunately, we found it average, from the taste to the presentation. Certainly not bad, but definitely overpriced for the experience. I cannot comment on your dinner options, but visiting for brunch was helpful for our resolution to cook more at home. It is with a moderate amount of anxiety that I am pressing the Post button. Nevertheless, I hope you find any of these...

Incredibly rude owner was speaking loudly in French with some customers as we arrived with our baby. Little did she know we understood everything she was saying about how much she hates customers with little children, and how annoying they are. The funny part? The customers she was speaking to also had a baby, too! Reading other reviews here, this seems to match her behavior pretty well in regards to being “family friendly”.

We sat for 20 minutes (while the owner chatted and then had a relaxing cigarette next to the tables with people eating outside) before anybody came to serve us.

The waiter, who was obviously working her first shift, was sweet and friendly, but made a couple of mistakes (no syrup in a Berliner Weisse Rot, wrong coffee) but nothing too bad. When I went in to pay, the owner was verbally tearing her a new one. Horrible, abusive behavior. If you want to support a nice local business in the Kiez, go...

Restaurant Les Mimosa is one of those small restaurants that make Berlin so charming. In a French atmosphere, the restaurant owner goes out of her way to satisfy her customers. We came as a family and were delighted by the simple but refined dishes. The desserts are excellent, and the profiteroles were a special delight for the children. The wine list is not extensive but the organic risling chosen was excellent. The service is also very friendly and everything is done with heart. We can only recommend Marie's cuisine and will definitely be...
