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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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 careAgain 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.
