“We give a lot of the credit for our success to our loyal customers,” said Mimosa chef and owner Derrick Melton. “We figure about 85 percent of our business is return customers. Some people come in three times a week and others three times a year. There’s a whole group of people who have a romantic history here. They come back each year for anniversaries, say. But I also think there are only a handful of fine dining places in town anymore, and Mimosa is one of them.”

Mimosa's "small plates" menu is a thing of delight! I'm torn between telling everyone I know about it - and keeping the secret to myself so I don't end up standing in line.
