About this restaurant

  • Great for creative cocktails
  • Good for special occasions
  • Innovative
Mimi Brasserie & Speakeasy is a modern brasserie and hidden cocktail den in the heart of Sarasota, offering refined comfort food, thoughtful wines, and a warm, unhurried hospitality. By day, Mimi leans into bright, European-inspired brasserie classics made from scratch—seasonal plates, handcrafted sandwiches, and market-driven ingredients. As the sun sets, the atmosphere shifts: lights dim, the speakeasy awakens, and the menu expands into shareable dishes made to spark conversation.
Rooted in global technique but shaped by local Gulf Coast ingredients, Mimi celebrates craftsmanship at every level—from house-made breads and charcuterie to a carefully curated wine list led by our somm. Whether you’re joining us for a casual meal, a celebratory night out, or simply a great cocktail tucked away in our hidden speakeasy, Mimi is designed to feel both elevated and familiar. A place to linger, connect, and enjoy the kind of meal that stays with you.
Welcome to Mimi. Your table is waiting.

    The food was wonderful but the noise was ridiculous. Couldn’t even hear my table mate. They need to do some sound work on the space.

    First time here since the renovation. Really cool atmosphere in the dining room and in the speak easy. Menu is limited heavily meat oriented. One pasta, one fish, one pork, no specials. Nice array of wine you never heard of. Bar was nicely stocked with top liquor’s. Two of us ordered steak and they enjoyed the 12 ounce strip. One pasta and one charcuterie board for the two of us. Both were forgettable at best. Service was okay but nothing special. Maybe just a bad night. We will try again and hope for a better result.

    Love eating at Mimi’s. The bar is a perfect place to have a light dinner. Burger and a drink or a full meal. Love the ambiance. Lively but quiet at the same time. The speak easy if a fun addition!

    We waited over an hour for our food. We were a party of 5 and beside us a table of 4 ordered their food, ate, and left and another table of 8 who sat after us, ordered their food, ate, and were having after dinner drinks and we still had not received our food. We asked the waiter and said it was coming and 15 minutes later asked the hostess and she said a couple of more minutes. We finally got our food 10 minutes later. I did like the vibe of the place and the food was good- but I’d have a hard time going back after the long wait time.

FAQs

Family-friendly: yes, guests do bring families and celebrate birthdays here, and many parties include teens or groups. Accessible seating details aren’t specified in the available information, so if you need wheelchair access or specific accommodations, call ahead and the staff will assist.

For a lively night out and full speakeasy energy, Friday or Saturday is ideal. If you prefer a quieter, more intimate dinner where you can talk easily, choose a weekday evening or arrive early in the evening, guests often recommend midweek or earlier reservations for lower noise levels.

Yes, Mimi is a popular spot for date night thanks to its romantic, slightly mysterious vibe and the hidden speakeasy. Guests repeatedly praise the ambiance, crafted cocktails, and attentive service, making it feel special without being stiff. Consider arriving early for pre-dinner drinks in the speakeasy, then linger over shareable small plates or a main course for a relaxed, memorable evening.

Early evening on a weekday offers a quieter, more relaxed experience; late evenings and weekends (especially Saturdays) are lively and busier. If you want the speakeasy experience, arriving early before dinner or planning to stay after your meal is a popular approach among guests.

Business casual is the suggested dress code. Guests frequently treat Mimi as a nicer night out, many describe it as a place to impress for dates or celebrations, so smart-casual attire fits the atmosphere.

Families do dine at Mimi, and guests mention celebrations with teens and birthday dinners including children. The menu skews toward shareable small plates and refined mains rather than a kids menu, so it’s best suited for older children or well-behaved younger ones, consider earlier seating if bringing little kids.

Busiest: weekend evenings (Friday–Saturday) and popular weekend nights, guests report a lively, sometimes loud dining room. Quietest: early evenings, weekdays, or arriving before the main dinner rush; the speakeasy can be a calmer spot if you go early or later.

Owner Eddie is mentioned by several guests as being present and welcoming; reviews reference meeting Eddie and complimenting his hospitality. For formal ownership details, contact the restaurant directly.

Portion sizes vary, small plates and snacks are designed for sharing, while entrees are moderate. Guests often recommend ordering a mix of snacks to start (like the corn dip or charcuterie) and then a main; some diners note mains can be on the smaller side for the price, while others found steaks, burgers, and the lamb hearty enough.

Mimi’s ambiance is stylish, slightly nostalgic, and lively, guests describe it as eclectic-chic, Parisian, and "luxurious" or "sexy." The speakeasy adds a mysterious, intimate layer. Expect energetic background noise on busy nights; if you prefer quieter dining, request a tucked-away table or visit midweek or earlier in the evening.
