    Everything about a NM cafe is great. Our server was wonderful and our entrees were outstanding. Only 4 stars on food as the popovers were off. Seemed small and dense and chewy. A little disappointed since it was my husband first time and I have raved about the popover for years!

    Always a pleasant lunch and the sampler is a tasty value. Love the complimentary bread and strawberry butter served at the beginning. My only critique is that the cup of beef broth was a little too salty on the day that we dined.

    Burger was not fresh, it’s a frozen type. The carpets haven’t been washed in a very long time. Houseflies were all around.

    Treated my mom to a wonderful lunch. The service was top notch and the restaurant has a quiet, calm, upscale atmosphere. The food is always exceptional, we had the tuna melt and the famous orange Soufflé! Even the iced tea is delicious! Can’t wait to return soon. PS-I seriously wish I could purchase the strawberry butter and consommé to enjoy at home. They’re the best part!

    food was pretty good, popovers always good my lobster roll wasn't very flavorful though, I should have gone with burger or something more typical of what I usually get service was very friendly and excellent

    We love having lunch at all of the Neimans cafes. This one was good but the one at Tysons is much better food wise. Still a nice lunch.

    Over priced for what we had. Haven’t eaten here in many years. Thought we would try it again, but a definite pass like most things at NM high prices.
