About NM Cafe

NM Cafe is a restaurant known for its delicious food, with standouts including fabulous salmon, popovers, and consommé. The desserts, particularly the mousse and orange cakes, are fantastic. The service is generally good, with attentive staff such as the waiter Sam and backup staff like Jose ensuring a pleasant experience. The popovers with broth are highly praised and considered to be to die for. Although the new menu has removed some favorites like California Club and Tuna Melt, the chef is willing to make special requests, such as a vegan California Club without cheese, which customers find very satisfying. The restaurant offers a nice, relaxing brunch experience with good quality and pleasant servers. Portions are satisfactory, and the atmosphere is suitable for special occasions. While the food can be expensive, the overall experience is enjoyable without feeling overly fancy or stuffy. The grilled cheese sandwich remains a hit with children, and the mousse and orange cakes are still fantastic desserts.
