Frommer's Review
Decked out in traditional bistro garb (butter-yellow walls, artistic photos, French posters), this modest storefront restaurant attracts plenty of French expatriates and Euro-style denizens with a truly authentic menu. You won't get the classic French of caviar and truffles, but rather regional specialties such as rich veal daube, andouillette (tripe sausage), perfect steak fries, and a slow-cooked pork roast with horseradish lentils. The appetizer list usually includes a fantastic terrine, and bowls of house-cured cornichons (gherkins) and spicy Dijon mustard accompany bread to every table. Despite the occasional tinge of trendy attitude -- usually precipitated by the presence of habitués like Tom Cruise and Jennifer Aniston dining on the house favorite, macaroni and cheese with prosciutto -- you'll appreciate Mimosa for its casual, comforting bistro fare.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
