Lunch at Mariposa was a lovely way to start our Chicago weekend. Service was impeccable, the food was wonderful (darn those popovers!) and we plan to start all our Chicago weekend trips like this!

My favorite lunch spot! Great food, great prices,great ambiance, and fantastic service......and fabulous acoustics.....can talk at a normal conversational level with fellow diners.

This is usually one of our favorite places to lunch at. This time it was not a great experience, which was disappointing. Our waiter, Mike was so unengaged and made it seem like we were a bother to him. The other wait staff who delivered our popovers and consume were lovely. Thank you.

I lunch fairly frequently here with friends. It never disappoints which is why I am a repeat guest. The food is really good and the service is very friendly but not rushed at all. The tables are well spaced and the acoustics are fabulous....so rare these days in other restaurants. You can actually talk with your fellow diners in a normal conversational voice. My very favorite dish is the Chicken Paillard. All desserts are all winners as are the traditional popovers and chicken broth. Decor is lovely sophisticated and quietly elegant. Chairs very comfortable.

A very nice place to take a quiet break from wedding shopping on Mag Mile. The food was delicious and the service was very attentive. My niece and I enjoyed our food in a quiet setting that allowed us to discuss her upcoming wedding in peace.
I reserved for 11:30 am, and the waitress said, 'No, you reserved for 11 am!' almost yelling. I showed her my reservation confirmation, but she disappeared and said, 'It's okay, just follow me.' Another waitress took the order, but the chicken was dry and the vegetables were not fresh. It was quiet because nobody was there. Now I know why.

My favorite lunch spot! Food is consistently yummy, service is attentive but not rushed and it is not noisy so you can talk in a normal conversational tone. Tables are well spaced apart making it more comfortable for more private conversations. Chicken Paillard is always a favorite but the Blackberry Chicken Salad special was really, really good.

Mariposa had great ambience, not too crowded. It was very nice, pleasant atmosphere with very good food. The salmon tacos were absolutely delicious and the popovers were an excellent introduction to our entrees!
I love going to Mariposa. The food, ambience and service is excellent. It's quiet so diner's can hear their dining partner. There is a certain old school elegance there that is hard to find. Dining there is an experience and never rushed.

Granny Smith apple and brie panini and chicken paillard are yum, yum yum! Service is friendly and unrushed. Ambiance is very pleasant particularly because tables are well spaced apart and because acoustics are such that you can speak in a normal conversational tone with whom you are dining. Very favorite lunch spot!
Cynthia was an attentive server and gracious. Had a wonderful time in every way with an old friend I had not seen in a long time. Grateful for a calm and beautiful spot to catch up.

Impeccable service. However, my meal was not good. I have dined here multiple times, and neither one of my selections was tasty. The spinach dip was extremely stringy and barely edible, and the short rib pasta was gummy and flavorless - one star ! The service of our waiter is what saved the entire experience!!! Hopefully, this was an isolated event.

Crab cakes were over seasoned with salt. Dipping sauce tasted like a coating for deep fried fish. The beet salad was shredded beads, very little goat cheese and arugula. Not a luncheon salad. Very disappointing.

Gracious ambiance and service. Particularly like that you talk in normal conversational tone with fellow diners. Food is very well prepared. My favorite is the Chicken Paillard and, of course, the cup of broth and popovers. My most favorite place to lunch with friends. Never disappointed.

I met a friend at Mariposa whom I had not seen in a long tine. I also had not been to this restaurant in many years. It had not changed much. The popovers are still delish, along with the mini-cup of chicken broth. The menu was not exciting and the service was quite slow. They could change things up just a tad....
