    We had a fantastic lunch at NM Cafe. It was our first time and I had heard so much about the Neiman Marcus dining experience so was glad we were able to try it out at NorthPark Mall. The service was really exceptional and attentive. We were introduced to the popper which is a really delicious kind of bread pastry that is warm and served with a sort of strawberry butter. It's way better and more unique that any complementary bread you'd normally receive at a restaurant. They also serve a warm delicious cup of chicken broth which I loved. My wife had the shrimp tostada and I had the yellowfin tuna. Both dishes were excellent and quite filling for a lunch portion. I also had their cinnamon spiced tea which again was quite unique and something I enjoyed. Also, as an appetizer we had their brussels sprouts, which are quite delicious, but again was such a large portion I was stuffed and impressed with the quantity of food. Overall, big thumbs up for NM Cafe.

    I had lunch at NM Café, and starting off with the popovers and chicken broth was such a lovely touch. The food was delicious, the service warm and attentive, and the atmosphere felt chic yet relaxed--perfect for a leisurely break

    Neiman's popover and broth.  Even when maintaining my figure, I can't resist.

    This review was supposed to be about JOEY, the new restaurant in Northpark Mall. We were doing a rare and late lunch at 1:30 in the afternoon and decided to give the newly-opened joint a try. But apparently, half of Dallas was doing the same thing; so upon seeing JOEY packed with a late lunch crowd, we put on our thinking caps for another suitable lunch spot within the mall. (FUN FACT: I almost never go to the mall on a weekday afternoon, but witnessing the nearly full parking lots, I learned that a good share of Dallas does not work and somehow manages to have enough disposable income to spend their afternoons shopping. ) Since my better half is a Neiman Marcus power shopper, she suggested NM Cafe, a lunch spot on the 3rd floor of Neiman's. Most mall shoppers probably don't know about NM Cafe...that is, unless you are a Neiman's power shopper. (On this visit, I was the only male patron in the place.) The atmosphere is nothing to write home to Aunt Edna and Uncle Slim about, but it works given that NM Cafe only serves lunch and again, is located on the upmost top floor of the department store. The menu is fairly limited, but it includes what one would expect from a department store lunch place...salads, classy sandwiches, cocktails, and wines...all with a Neiman's touch. As with other Neiman's restaurants, your meal begins with their traditional broth and a popover. It's all good, based on this visit (and one other a few years back). On this trip, I chowed down on the chopped salad and topped it with grilled chicken. So, next time that you are in Neiman's shopping for that $83,000 gold and platinum diamond bracelet or a $37,000 Hermes Ostrich Birkin bag and feel a hunger pang for a Neiman's cheeseburger, get on the escalator and head up to the third floor.

    Good food. Sweet service. Beautiful ambience. I really enjoyed my lunch here. I also love that they bring out chicken broth to start the meal.

    Our table, awaiting our arrival (Breakfast with Santa 2018)

    I felt like I needed a ball gown, sipping hot tea, pinkies up (skeee weee...I had to ;-)...) sitting across from the lovely Queen Elizabeth II. Distinguished...Classic...fueled with sophistication this place is. The "Breakfast with Santa" Christmas event drew my sister and brother in law, along with the kiddos, in to embellish in all the happiness and joy trending around this time! At approximately $50 a plate, we were served, turkey and cheese crepes, bacon, a potato pancake, and a fruit and yogurt parfait. The only item I was able to finish was the yogurt parfait. Everything else remained on my plate, lukewarm and barely touched; a bit tasteless. One monkey don't stop no show! I was elated by the smiling faces on the kids as custom balloons were being made and Santa and Mrs. Claus made their rounds taking photos. Such long lasting memories were made!

    popover and strawberry butter
    Rafaela D.

    Quite expensive, but worth it. First things first, take a sip of your broth-in-a-cup. Then dig into your practically unlimited Popovers with strawberry butter. Some people come just for those popovers, and I can relate. Food came out quickly, but you honestly wouldn't even notice if it took longer because your kind server will make sure you're doing just fine and you'll be too busy eating popovers. Anyways, maaaaybeee the $17 dollar burger wasn't quite worth it because it really didn't taste like anything special, but everything else - DELICIOUS. 10/10 for the TRUFFLE FRIES! If you're reading this ORDER IT. The truffle flavor is strong - in the best way. I've gotten the Andean Dream Pasta before and it's a good combination of vegetables and pasta. It's even better with chicken. -5/5 The burger comes with fries. I didn't ask if I could switch them with truffle fries, but I feel like they'd make you pay a little more.

    The Cafe at Neiman Marcus is the perfect brunch spot. With a perfectly concise menu, offers of soup, salads, sandwiches, and light entrees, it's easy to pick something great! My mom and I ducked in today to take a break from shopping, and I was happy with my experience as always! Consommé amuse bouche and popovers with strawberry butter, Tomato soup with goat cheese and cous cous, and the Salmon Fillet with citrus and fennel salad made for a fabulous meal. Also- got the Lavender Orange Sparkle to drink and it's a MUST! Non-alcoholic and sooo refreshing.

    Caramel glaze put me in a daze for days.

    When I used to hear the name Neiman Marcus I used to associate it with shopping, however now when I hear the name Neiman Marcus I think about showering in a delicious chicken broth. There's a small gem located on the upper 3rd floor which has an amazing staff that provides great customer service as well as great food. I'm usually at the bar, but the overall atmosphere there is very relaxed. Diana the bartender is very attentive and makes some awesome drinks. I can never have too many popovers when I'm there (the bread they serve with the chicken broth) and they're fries are off the chizzain. My wife loves their pickles. Overall this place rocks and is a little expensive, but well worth your money. Go check it out, like right now!

    Salmon tacos
    Julia D.

    10/10 service, 10/10 quality food. I had the salmon tacos and the salmon was cooked perfectly. Literally perfectly. Our server was great and super kind. He was helpful with describing what's on the menu. He hooked us up with the extra popovers and butter! Food came out pretty quickly, a reasonable amount of time. They had good team work among the servers. Wouldn't mind coming back

After waters were delivered, our drink order wasn't taken for at least 15-20 minutes after getting there. We placed our drink order and then waited, and waited, and waited for our first round of drinks to come. At one point I made the joke that I should be on my second drink by now(this turned into a joke about how I should be on my third). When the drinks finally came, everyone but mine was delivered, the waitress said that she was running back up to grab mine. She came back with my drink 10 minutes later. At this point we just placed our orders for food and I decided to place my next drink order at this point to help with the wait time. The waitress came back with the appetizer and I actually placed another drink order as well before my second drink came because I wanted to stay ahead of the game. 2nd and 3rd drinks actually came at a reasonable time and I started feeling like the night was turning around. Spoiler Alert: It wasn't. Entrees were delivered and surprise surprise, the food that was ordered with mine was delivered but mine was not. Waited for another long period of time and then my food was delivered. Was an apology of any sort ever given, no. Our waitress came to check back on the table very sparingly to the point we were waiting to place a dessert order so long we decided to take it to go. Ordered the monkey bread, got back to eat it and all the dough was raw. $200 bill between food and drinks for my wife and I and an appetizer for the table(there were others and other bills as well), still tipped 20% but there I would never recommend this restaurant for the service or the food. Great atmosphere great views. Service doesn't match the vibe.

Began with a signature cocktail, The Bracco, frozen, not sweet, refreshing with a delicious punch of grapefruit. Perfect for a hot evening in Dallas! You MUST get the biscuits with butter and homemade orange marmalade. It's a must. Salty, buttery, and with a sweet/sour tang of good marmalade. GET IT!! Split the wedge salad. Yes, you should split it. It was big! Plenty for two to split as an appetizer easily or you could add some filet to it for an entree. Will do that for lunch. And probably split that too! The giant bacon cubes and quality blue cheese crumbles are my reason for living. Entrees we tried (this time. We'll definitely try more items next visit): got THE crab cake. It is big. More crab than cake, which shows the quality. Wasn't a fan of the butter sauce, I thought it was too heavy for the delicate crab and would just ask for it plain with just some fresh lemon but the cake itself was perfect with jumbo lumps. Came with fries. Fries and dipping sauces were excellent but may ask for a different side option to keep it lighter. My daughter had the miso glazed salmon which came with potato puree with buttermilk....omg the only fault with it is that there wasn't nearly enough, and a jalapeno slaw, which was crispy and creamy with a little kick to it. Perfection! We also tried the side of creamed corn. Not sweet. Definitely savory and not too heavy, which was nice, with a little mild pepper kick. Desserts we took home because we were stuffed which were the carrot cake and the chocolate pie. We'll eat those tonight while watching tv. I have no doubt they will be great too. Definitely make a reservation. They get crowded. It does get noisy as well. Oh, and hopefully you'll have the best server Jemima. She was so sweet, personable, easy to chat with, and made our first time there a wonderful experience. Note to owners....she deserves a raise for being awesome!!! If there was a rating higher, I would give it. It is not often you go to a restaurant that hits all the marks at the same time but Bobbie's definitely did. We DEFINITELY will be back soon. Thank you Jemima!!!!

The staff was very welcoming, and the other guests I encountered were friendly and sociable. The drinks were excellent. On my first visit, I had the Hugo Spritz, which was mixed to perfection. During my second visit, I tried the Bitter Lemon Soda, which was also very good--simple, refreshing, and without any overpowering flavors. I actually enjoyed The Bowen House so much that I went twice during my weekend trip to Dallas. It has an almost speakeasy-like atmosphere, with low lighting and a cozy, historic feel. It's also in a very walkable area, which made it easy to visit on foot. There is some parking available, although I would say it's somewhat limited. I don't think it would be the best spot for a very large group, but it would be perfect for a few friends getting together. I also appreciated that you can order a drink while waiting for a table or bar seating, which made the wait feel much more enjoyable. Overall, The Bowen House was one of my favorite places I visited while in Dallas. Between the atmosphere, welcoming service, and well-crafted drinks, it's definitely a place I would return to the next time I'm in town.
