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.

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.

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.

Jennifer N.

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.

I have enjoyed my selections anytime I go here to eat lunch. I have tried their salads and main dishes as well as the truffle fries Yesterday we got served by a very lovely waitress name Heather who was very attentive This cafe is only opened up until 4 on weekdays and 5 on weekends so plan accordingly . I would continue to visit here once a quarter

I recently dined at Small Batch (Tom Colicchio's restaurant), located inside the Roosevelt Field…read moreMall in Garden City. The restaurant has a beautiful, bright, modern atmosphere that feels much more upscale than its surroundings. Based on other reviews, the standout dishes seemed to be the grilled Spanish octopus and the SB Smash Burger, so I ordered both. Unfortunately, the execution fell short in several areas. The East Coast oysters arrived with mignonette but without horseradish or oyster forks--small details, but noticeable oversights. The oysters, octopus, and burger were all tasty, but the presentation of octopus and burger was surprisingly sloppy, as though little attention had been paid when the dishes left the kitchen. The bar also was understaffed. A single bartender was serving both the bar and the entire dining room, which led to waits for drinks. My bartender was friendly, attentive, and worked hard, but one person simply wasn't enough. I finished with the Key Lime Custard, which had what appeared to be a layer of shredded cereal on the bottom. I wasn't sure what it was. The dessert itself was enjoyable, though I think a base of toasted sliced almonds with a few fried blueberries on top of it would have added better texture and complemented the flavors more effectively. One nice perk is the validated valet parking, for a reduced fee, which makes arriving and leaving especially convenient given the mall location. The whiskey selection could also be improved by adding a few more interesting, off-the-beaten-path single malts or blends. Overall, the kitchen shows promise! And perhaps I came on an off night. With better attention to presentation, appropriate bar staffing, and a more adventurous choice of spirits, Small Batch could deliver an experience that better matches its reputation.

Overall, we found many of the dishes to be overly salty and oily. I ordered the rib sandwich and was disappointed because it wasn't what I expected. I anticipated an actual rib sandwich, but it appeared to be more like shredded beef and didn't have the flavor or texture of ribs. My son ordered the stuff Nutella French Toast and ended up sending them back. The eggs he was served were also quite salty. My daughter did not enjoy her burger, which was unusually thick and difficult to eat as prepared. My wife finished her meal, but she did not find it particularly enjoyable and felt the portion size was too small for the price. I think part of the issue may have been the limited Father's Day brunch menu. Had there been more options available, we might have found dishes that better suited our tastes. Additionally, dessert was not included in the package, which was somewhat disappointing. While the atmosphere and service were definite positives, the food did not meet our expectations. Based on this experience, I'm not sure if I would return.

I've been here several times now, and I've genuinely enjoyed the dishes. That said, even though everything is still very good, some of the menu items have changed. I just wish that when we told our waitress we'd been there before, she would've mentioned that some menu items were updated. We ended up ordering our favorite items because the names were the same on the menu, but the descriptions (how it was prepared) were different--so we didn't think to look closely at the descriptions. For example, the crudo is now a salmon crudo with capers. Before, it was tuna with cucumbers, which I honestly love and prefer over the salmon. The chicken dish was also switched up. When I told friends who haven't gone yet, they were disappointed as well. The chicken dish is now a mushroom sauce version, and we definitely tasted it, but we weren't expecting it to be different when we ordered. Since there are a lot of regular customers, I think it would be helpful to mention when some items have changed, especially when the names stay the same. We didn't even think to read the descriptions because the names looked familiar.

When the food was delivered to the table, 3 of the dishes were correct and the fourth one (mine) was the wrong dish. I thought the runner may have grabbed the wrong dish and mine was still in the kitchen and would've come right back out however it looks like the wrong dish was made so I insisted my other three friends eat their dinner and mine finally came after they were more than halfway through. My dish was the ravioli and it was good not great. It was also lukewarm once it was finally delivered and I did not want to send it back again and wait even longer to eat. My friends ordered the Pappardelle Bolognese, Pasta Primavera and the Cacio e Pepe. They enjoyed the Primavera and the Bolognese however they said the Cacio Pepe lacked flavor. Before going into this restaurant, I read the reviews and was skeptical, but wanted to give the restaurant the benefit of the doubt. I understand they are working on improving things, however for me personally, I will not be recommending this restaurant to my friends and family. I may try the Huntington location as that has a better reputation.
