    Had completely forgotten NM even had a cafe and hadn’t been to it in years. It was PERFECT place to meet an old friend and catch up in civilized, classy and quiet environment. The food was great, the orange soufflé and chicken salad was a classic and so good. The popovers are still served and still great. The menu looked so tempting, will have to go back again soon. The service was lovely. What a nice break in the day!

    The sampler is great where you can get a half sandwich, a cup of soup and salad. The soup was a lobster bisque and it was delicious. The chicken salad is great. But above all the popovers with the strawberry butter is amazing. Our server, Robert was excellent and very helpful with the menu

    The new chef and manager are having a big impact on this classic restaurant. They are elevating classics, better plating, better ingredients and great food. Bravo.
