    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

    Soup of the day. Shrimp tostada salad.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Soup of the Day- Tomato with goat cheese and cous cous. Pictured is the Lavender Orange Sparkle

    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

The deviled eggs, dragon…read moreroll, and pigs in a blanket were all tasty, and that's honestly the highlight of our visit. Unfortunately, everything else was a struggle from the moment we walked in. We didn't have reservations, but eventually found seats at the bar. Given how busy the place was, we figured the bar would mean faster, more attentive service. We were very wrong. We ordered two beers, a non-alcoholic drink, and three appetizers. The drinks arrived, and the appetizers followed about 10 minutes later -- fine so far. But there were no utensils. We had to ask for them, and we asked for plates as well, which never came. The empty dishes from our appetizers sat in front of us for a solid hour with no one clearing them. The bartender who took our order never once checked on us. With 3-4 people working behind the bar, only one server approached us during the entire 40-minute wait between appetizers and dinner to ask if we needed anything. The bartender told us twice that our food was "coming out shortly" -- and still, 40 minutes passed. When dinner finally arrived, my order was wrong. I ordered the Mongolian Short Rib, listed clearly under the Entree section of the menu. The bartender claimed I had ordered off a "happy hour" menu -- one I never saw or was told about -- and had swapped it for BBQ Pork Ribs without saying a word. Knowing a replacement could take another hour, my friend swapped plates with me and took the ribs. He had ordered the steak frites, which, for a rare steak, should have taken no more than 5-6 minutes to prepare. The third entree, fish and chips, was just okay -- a bit soggy and not particularly fresh. To top it all off, after everything we dealt with, the bartender never asked how our meal was or if we needed anything else. The food has potential, but the service was inattentive, disorganized, and frankly unacceptable for a busy restaurant that should know better.

If the way you craft your comment or complaint does not suit this company, they will simply choose not to reply.

After getting sick from an undercooked French dip at Hillstone's in Houston, I was naive I was enough to eat at this location for NYE. I understood the salmon would be cooked medium. Towards the end, it was almost completely raw with lukewarm, congealed polenta and soggy broccolini with too much salt and grated cheese. Bleh. ...And the mediocre carrot cake was $15, which is obscene. Post all your prices. If I dine out, I expect the cooking to be superior to my own. Never again.
