Mandarin Orange Souffé with "sweet bread" slivered almonds, sliced green apple and chicken salad
Aba H.

On the 2nd floor of Nieman Marcus in Roosevelt Field - turn right at the top of the escalator and it's against the mostly glass wall. It has a view of the parking lot, the tables aren't cramped, and the atmosphere is classy. They start you off with popovers (that I haven't seen since the Milleridge Inn), strawberry "butter" (that tasted like light whipped cream cheese to me), and a seemingly out of place demi tasse cup of chicken broth. Nice touches so far. My wife ordered their [red] "quinoa salad" with sliced avocado, radish, almonds, arugula and goat cheese. She liked it except for the arugula (neither of us enjoy bitter types of lettuce, radicchio being the worst). I ordered their "mandarin orange soufflé," which was only the dessert portion of the lunch plate because the main attraction was the chicken salad, slices of green apple and almonds with "sweet bread," which seemed more like slices of dark honey cake. It cobbled together a nice balanced light lunch (bread, two fruits, nuts and chicken). We both ordered decaf coffee, which was nicely served with a creamer, two cups and a very small pot for seconds, but it was just slightly warmer than room temperature, so they eventually brought out a fresh hot pot. The food was reasonably priced, considering the creative menu, freshly preparation and atmosphere, but they charged us $12 for our coffees.

Perfectly secluded from the chaos of the mall. This is my go to eatery whenever im shopping. They do close early but if you have the chance, I highly recommend coming. There's a nice view of the restaurant collection from the windows. The atmosphere is bright and light. The service is always incredible. They had retained majority of the staff since before covid and they don't miss a beat. They know their regulars so well. The food is always fantastic here. One of the best burgers you can find in the area, hands down. Everything is done so well, we haven't had a bad meal here in all our years coming.

Start the meal off with hot delicious popover, strawberry butter, and warm broth. Perfect for a cold day!

Lovely bright restaurant in Neiman Marcus in the Roosevelt Field Mall. Starting the meal off with a piping hot popover, strawberry butter and warm broth was a welcome surprise. My friend and I split a California sandwich which was the chef's special of the day and was absolutely delicious. The table next to us had the soup of the day which had large pieces of shrimp and other seafood made us say we will be back once again! Truly a great place for lunch. Didnt think we were in a department store!

Amuse-Bouche:  Popover with strawberry butter and a teacup of Bone Broth.  It was so avant-garde

Anthony was my server, and the food was good. That sounds "second grade", but I did not want to bore you with the details.

Entrance

On a quiet Saturday afternoon, I was looking for a nice new cafe to take the kids for lunch. Searching through Yelp, I found NM Cafe, which seemed to have a lot of pics of good looking food. I entered the address into the GPS and it led me to .... Roosevelt Field Mall??? I wasn't aware of any new cafes in the mall until we finally figured out that NM = Neiman Marcus. This is a cafe on the second floor, hidden in the women's clothing section. Ambience: a nicely decorated upscale cafe. The entrance is inconspicuously hidden in the women's clothing section. Food: we ordered Popover with Strawberry butter - this was amazing. Fluffy like a croissant but firm enough to spread some strawberry butter. 5/5 Chicken Broth - served in a teapot and teacups, this is easily mistaken for tea upon first glance. Excellent flavorful broth. 5/5 Tuna Melt and Fries - tasty comfort food. Crusty toasted bread encasing warmed tuna salad. 4/5 Mandarin Orange Soufflé - an chilled orange flavored "pudding" served with some chicken salad. This would be the goto for someone looking for a "light" lunch. 3/5 Service: Very friendly and inviting servers, but unfortunately understaffed for the volume of diners resulting in long waits.

Popover with a side of bone broth
Adriana B.

Our waiter was one of the nicest waiters I've had in a really long time. He was very knowledgeable about the menu and explained the specials in a way that made everything sound delicious. We were serve complimentary popovers with strawberry butter accompanied with bone broth. The popover had a crusty outer layer and the butter made it taste really good. I've never had bone broth before so I can't really speak on it since it wasn't my cup of tea. Although my sangria didn't taste like a traditional sangria, it was still really good nonetheless. It tasted more like red wine and didn't have the traditional fruitiness to it. As of the main dish, the pot roast was definitely a heavy meal to have for lunch. I personally wouldn't recommend for that time of day but it did enjoy it for the most part. The side of mashed potatoes and vegetable were tender and flavorful. The pot roast was tender as well but the flavor it was a bit more on thick gravy side. Overall, I enjoyed my meal with my sister and mom here and honestly the waiter made our experience a good one. Unfortunately I don't recall his name.

Burger

Went to NM cafe on a Thursday afternoon without a reservation. We were seated quickly in a nice corner table. The floor to ceiling windows made the space so bright and spacious. Once we were seated, we were given each a soufflé with some strawberry butter. I love when bread is served warm. We also were given chicken consommé in a tiny tea cup. It might be mistaken for actual tea but it was rather delicious. We asked for a pot and it was perfect to sip on. For my entree I had the pot roast which was on a special February menu. I was surprised at how large the portion was. The meat was tender and tasty. The truffle fries were crispy and topped with Parmesan cheese. The service from the host, waiter and busboy was all so kind. Our table was cleared proactively, waters refilled, and continuously checked up on. The cappuccino machine was not working today and our waiter ended up giving us a NM cookie on the way out which was unexpected. It was so good! Would definitely come back whenever I'm shopping at Roosevelt. I would recommend making a reservation on Opentable!

Coming back here for lunch again. It's a relaxing place that you can enjoy the nice afternoon with your meal here. The bread comes with strawberry butter and chicken broth are so good! Service is great and attentive. Food was delicious too. No complains.

Came here on my lunch break while working. The food, service, and ambiance is beyond amazing!! I for sure will come back with friends. I had the shrimp, lump crab, and avocado salad. The food is really next level here!! Anthony was an amazing server. He detailed all the specials and was excellent at explaining all the dishes I had interest in prior to ordering

Wine menu
Gary L.

Food and service are on par with any five star restaurant in the neighbourhood. Treat yourself and order the cobbler that comes with ample ice cream and whipped cream!

Lily C.

Stumble across this cute cafe while I was shopping and decided to give it a try - I was not disappointed We ordered the crab pastas and hamburger for 3 people and we were stuffed. The latte and free bread (this is actually our favorite part ) were a delight as well. Our server William was also the sweetest - very helpful with the suggestions and making sure we are doing well. We will definitely be back to try other items on the menu.

Salmon taco!
Deidre W.

Two friends and I had a thoroughly lovely meal here. The service was exceptional as was the food. We felt welcomed and valued. Instead of a breadbasket, each guest is served a delicious popover. This is just one of the small touches that make this cafe a true gem. Definitely worth checking out! This is a must if you need a break from the mall crowds.

We were a party of three without reservations and were seated right away. We started with chips, guacamole, and the red and green salsas. The chips are more like thin tortillas and were the perfect pairing with a cold beer. For tacos, we tried the duck, pork belly, mojo pork, fish, and chicken verde. The portion size was just right--enough to try a few and still leave full without feeling heavy. The fish taco was one of the best I've had: perfectly crispy with a great crunch, balanced with slaw and sauce. The mojo pork was also really flavorful with a great sauce. Our waitress was friendly and attentive, which made the experience even better. The only downside was that the bathrooms were a bit messy. On a positive note, we noticed dogs outside, which is great if you're looking for a dog-friendly spot. Overall, great tacos, fun atmosphere, and we'll definitely be back.

This place is beautiful and perfect for pretty much any occasion. The first time I brought my sister here for her bday dinner and every dish was absolutely outstanding. The service although it was busy Friday night was also excellent. Our drinks? The smokin gun and spicy margarita were perhaps some of the best drinks we've had in a long time. The minute we left we decided we had to come back again for some drinks and apps. Fast forward to a Thursday night we saw they had a late night happy hour so we decided to give it a try! This is where it all went downhill and I debated on writing this review because I honesty believe in giving businesses sort of a pass for a rough day or just because and you never know know what someone is going through but I was clearly so bothered that I am still thinking about it and I feel like it's only right that the owner should know. We arrived for the late night happy hour and 4 seats happen to be available at the end of the bar. The female bartender proceeded to place menus right in front of us without saying a word. I smiled, kinda hinting hello and when I tell you I just got a blank stare, at first I was confused but again (it's late, it's thursday, people have struggles, be compassionate and move on) Fast forward we order some food, she places mats and utensil in front of us and again nothing, not a word. It was also as if she was annoyed at us for being there. At one point I was speaking Spanish with one of my girlfriends and I noticed she finally looked at us and smiled. I'm unsure what that was about but I was happy to see her smile for once. Finally I noticed a couple came in and went straight to the bartender and right away I noticed her tone and demeanor changed, she was much happier to see them. So I guess she had a decent day after all. The couple and the bartender kinda pointed towards us as if we had taken their seats. This is all happening right in front of my eyes. Now listen, I'm an expert on picking up cues and noticing things around me. It's pretty much what I do for a living. The couple then sat against the wall behind and we could just feel that we just weren't wanted there that night. The vibe and energy felt really off and when I tell you this was perhaps one of the worse customer services experiences I've ever had in this type of establishment, I am not lying. It felt very dismissive and unwelcoming without even saying anything. I'm really disappointed because Ive been bragging to all my friends about this place and really looked forward to the same experience I had previously but this wasn't the case. I'm not sure of if I will be back, but I do hope the managers and owners here give their staff better training on how to treat customers. A simple hello, a smile, and being kind goes a long way not only in the business word but in life.

The check was brought to our table before dessert was served, without us requesting it and without being asked if we needed anything else. When we questioned the server, we didn't receive a clear response. A manager explained that "this is how it's done in many restaurants" and assured us the table wasn't needed for another reservation. Regardless, the experience left my guests and me feeling rushed and uncomfortable, which took away from an otherwise enjoyable meal. Overall, the food was very good, but the service approach specifically presenting the check prematurely needs improvement. A simple check-in before presenting the bill would make a big difference in the overall dining experience.
