1 /5 veronica martin: I had one of the most disappointing and uncomfortable experiences at Mimosa on September 23rd, 2025. My friend and I, both African American adults in our late 20s (ages 27 and 28), came to enjoy dinner as we usually do. The supervisor Angie welcomed us and assured us we could dine past closing. Unfortunately, our server Vivian treated us unfairly and with clear bias.
At 8:50 p.m., while we were still eating, Vivian placed the bill on our table. After we paid, she told us to “get out” even though it wasn’t yet 9:00 p.m., directly contradicting what Angie had told us. She continued to insist we leave, making us feel rushed and singled out. On top of that, Vivian even attempted to throw away my untouched $5 soup without asking.
What made this worse is that the treatment did not feel like ordinary rudeness — it felt discriminatory. As two African American, high-paying professionals who simply wanted to finish our meal, we were spoken to harshly and pushed out, while other guests were not treated the same way.
I’ve enjoyed Mimosa in the past, but this encounter left us feeling disrespected and discriminated against. I strongly urge management to address this behavior to ensure all paying customers are treated with dignity and fairness.
