It's always a wonderful experience when lunching at Mariposa! The food is creative and delicious (I am still thinking about my Warm Grains bowl!) and Marijke and her team are top-notch when it comes to customer service.

Bar on 4 is a pleasant dining spot with consistently good food and attentive service. The atmosphere is calm and quiet, making it easy to converse with others. The menu features dishes like Chicken Paillard, Blackberry Chicken Salad, salmon tacos, and popovers, which are also popular. The restaurant offers an old-school elegance and is never rushed, making it an excellent choice for a relaxing meal.
The Green Goddess salad is excellent, with crisp greens, fresh peas, and a creamy, yummy dressing. The restaurant has wonderful acoustics that allow diners to speak in a normal tone. The tables are well-spaced, and the service is very friendly and attentive, with no feeling of being rushed.
It's always a treat to dine here, with hot broth and popovers with a sweet, compound butter arriving at the table as soon as guests are seated, creating a calming and welcoming atmosphere. The menu is small but offers a balance of classic dishes and interesting innovations, making everyone feel like they belong.
The owner, Cynthia, always provides a warm greeting and serves the guest's favorite spiced tea without being asked. The food is both attractive and delicious, with a mix of old favorites and new seasonal items.
