This was a lovely restaurant where I went with my friends for over 20 years and had just started taking my granddaughters. It’s too bad that they are closing this restaurant for good.☹️

Had a lunch meeting with seven other ladies and we all loved our experience & food. Caitlin was our waitress and did an outstanding job. Food is delicious and the setting is pretty. Not rushed, very relaxed

Always a pleasure having lunch at Neiman Marcus! The food was delicious and my waitress was so sweet to my 4 year old granddaughter. She even got her to finish her lunch but who could resist a Neiman Marcus choc chip cookie

Here’s to the ladies who lunch! Please NM, update your furniture! Torn seats and cushions do nothing for the ambiance. Other than that, service was great, food was fine. Not like I remember it being in its heyday. Not sure I’ll be back to this location.

Stale popovers and consommé was not right. Our server was delightful and very apologetic for the quality of the food. This is quite uncommon for NM. Very disappointing!! Its usually a pleasure and delicious!!

Ambiance was quiet and dining room had 3 tables. Our waitress was attentive. The popovers were brown and almost burnt. My tuna melt was just okay. Two hispanic women were listening to their phones blaring loud. I looked around and no manager in sight. I nicely asked them to turn off their phones because it was louder than the music. First I was ignored and then I spoke in Spanish. and told them this was rude. “But it’s the World Cup.” they answered. When our server came, she asked them to take their phones off speaker and they did. They ordered one bowl of soup and two waters. What has happened here at my fav place? I have not dined because of Covid-19 so it’s been a while. I hope things improve, too. I miss the shrimp salad. Restaurant definitely needs strong management and menu improvement.

This restaurant has been a favorite for years but we have not been here since they re-opened after COVID. The food was great as was the service. We had several food allergies and they happily accommodated them all. Briana was our server and she was excellent.

I was a hugh fan of the Zodiac restaurant. It was my go to place with my friends it closed and they reopened under the name Cafe. This was my first time after 2 years absence and I was disappointed. The food was horrible.! The little cup of soup had an off flavor that was nasty. It tasted burnt! My Mandarin Souffle tasted like it was refrigerated uncovered and pick up other flavors. I only saw one waiter working so service was slow. The waiter said it's not been too busy lately and judging by my experience I know why!!!
