As a regular at this restaurant over many years this is the first time I walked away feeling “hustled”. Rhonda

The hospitality is wonderful and the menu always reliable. There are some daily or weekly specials, but also classic dishes, refined but not fussy. Popovers with consommé to start are warm and light. There's a salad with warm shrimp, a sprightly spinach salad, salmon--the three of us enjoyed these dishes; not a wide selection of desserts but enough choices to satisfy us. A good wine list, too. Friendly service, nicely timed.

Always a classic. Have been coming here since I was a little kid. I am a popover addict!

Terrible service. I don't know why the waitress always serves me. She has a terrible temper, but today she made us wait more than 30 minutes, so we decided to leave. I hope they talk to her so she can be more friendly.

The food is good but nothing special. The highlights were the tiny cup of broth and the popover which was good but a little undercooked inside. The waitress was a bit unfriendly at first but then came over to talk to our table and stayed way too long.

The restaurant is very pricey and our waiter really was rushing us. The place was practically empty so I don't know what his hurry was. The popovers which is a huge draw or stale and it was very disappointing.

This is a great classic and local place! This is the place that if you know you know. I've been coming since I was a little girl. It's part of our ancestry story. Definitely a ladies lunch NM Cafe can make any day feel special.

It's a lovely place for lunch. It's very open and bright. Pleasant atmosphere with a fine menu and many good choices. U can hv a choice of wine, beer and of course soda. The servers are professional. U start with a chicken broth started and marvelous popovers with strawberry butter. My husband had a hamburger. I had a chicken dish. My friends has a delicious salad. We were all pleased. I would say it is a little pricey but what isn't these days? Try it yourself.

Perfect spot for a girlfriend birthday celebration. Sparkling brut and a salad plus lots of laughs! Our server was excellent and brought a surprise birthday cookie. Loved our window table and the time together.

There should be a no cell phone rule at the table. A very loud man had an escalated voice and another table sharing videos with volume was very disturbing. Salad cam out in 5 minutes (obviously premade) and very cold.

Food and service was amazing. The atmosphere was relaxing, and the broth and popovers were delicious!

Haralyn

Disappointing. The pop overs used to be the highlight, but they aren't so good anymore. Salads were just ok. Dressings (I tried a few) not great. Overall, just ok. I wouldn't go out of your way to go...

Our lunch was very enjoyable. We ordered and split 2 sandwiches which were very tasty. Service was excellent.The white tablecloth setting was first class.
