Very good you may want to make reservations.
Also consider Capital Grille, GW Fins
Ruth Chris if you like overpriced steaks |

Mimosa Grill is good. I also like Zink's which is owned by the same company.
You can argue that Ruth Chris is overpriced but it is damn good and tasty.

Ruth Chris does not have my vote. The food was good, but, the service and environment definitely NOT worth the price.
Never have been to Mimosa Grill, but, it is part of the Harpers group and Harpers (SouthPark) is my favourite restaurant.

We went to both Harpers and Mimosa Grill last month. The food at Mimosa was not worth it for us, we'll be back to Harpers, but not Mimosa.

I wasn't thrilled with Mimosa - the food is ok. Used to go there for work lunches, and twice the server has forgotten to mention something fairly major about the specials, like the fact that the squash ravioli had duck meat on it - not everyone's cup of tea. And I'm with Chicagocubs - I will never go to Ruth's Chris again, but that's another story!!

I boycott Harper's group, in general. They employ unfair labor practices, and use sub-par ingredients. It may be good, I've heard good things, but they pay anyone who isn't a white male about half of what a decent wage would be. Service is also very bad, in general, for reasons I won't get into.
My two cents, might not affect your decision in the slightest.

I've been a couple times and enjoyed the food and the service and the ambiance. You should go for just an appetizer, sit at the bar, check out the wine selection, and sample the crab cakes. |

Wasn't very impressed with Mimosa when we went a few months ago. The service was subpar and the food wasn't that great for the money. Oh course we just moved from Dallas and they have a million restaurants so I gues I'm a little spoiled.  |
