Okay, if you're reading this, you're probably stressed. It's the Season, traffic is huge, shopping needs to be done, and family gatherings need to be organized. You need to dine at Mariposa restaurant and ask Patti to serve you the famous Neiman Marcus chocolate chip cookies fresh out of the oven. if possible. Instant stress relief and glorious satisfaction. Hint: The rest of the offerings are also super, right down to the Italian roast coffee by Illy. If you want a perfectly cooked "medium" cheeseburger, ask your server to ask Derryk to prepare it. Please make a reservation. (My brother-in-law introduced me to OpenTable years ago. It's been very efficient.) Mariposa is already a cult favorite and it will become even more crowded during the Holidays.

We liked the place. It is reminiscent of Blue Martini days (if anybody remembers that). The people were more pleasant and the location is sweet.
