Mimi's Happiest Hour is among a host of exciting programs being introduced as part of its "Value Revolution" to appeal to guests who would like to dine out more frequently, but given the uncertain economic times, may be less inclined to do so.
"The Happiest Hours of the day are at Mimi's Cafe! And here, $5 can buy you happiness," said Mark Mears, Mimi's President and Chief Concept Officer. "We want to give our guests another opportunity to share a Mimi's moment with friends and enjoy a delightful drink and a tasty bite while staying within their budgets. Happiest Hour also allows our guests to step out of the everyday and experiment with different tastes and pairings. We feature a variety of wines, beers, specialty drinks, starters and small plates for $5 or less."
The $5 Wine Flights and $5 Bistro Bites are a delicious duo for Happiest Hour gatherings. Mimi's new Bistro Bites menu features a collection of Starters and Small Plates, including BBQ Pork Sliders, Beef Sliders, Crispy Zucchini Parmesan, Chicken Tenders, Crab Fritters, and a Signature Cheese Plate. Mimi's New White, Red or Sparkling Wine Flights (usually $8) come in three
2-ounce pours that are perfect for tasting. Guests can also customize their flight, and substitute any wine, for $1 more.
Each wine flight comes complete with tasting notes and suggested food pairings to guide guests on their tasting journey. Mimi's Bistro Red Flight starts with velvety Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz to classic Zinfandel. The White Wine Flight progresses from fruity Pinot Grigio to Sauvignon Blanc and full-bodied Chardonnay. Mimi's wildly popular Mimosa, Hibiscus and Sparkling Strawberry specialty drinks star in the Sparkling Wine Flight.
