The atmosphere was horrible. We felt it was not worth the money. The kitchen door squeaked every time it opened and closed. The noise level was ridiculous babies behind us allowed to hit the tables and someone listening to videos on their phone loud enough for us to hear it. Tables too close and we felt shut in Not what we expected for sure. Waitress very friendly.

I have been eating at NM for years. This is the first time I was disappointed The chocolate cake was dry. Should have sent it back. The server never refilled my iced tea. The lentil soup was delicious. The monkey bread was not warm. In my opinion it was over priced for what you got None the less I will return hoping for a better experience

We went there on a whim, with no expectations. That aside, I was blown away by how wonderful everything was, The waiter was exceptional…very upbeat and professional. Left him a 45% tip. The food was also very, very good. The ambience was spectacular. It’s a small cafe, yet the space is utilized in such a way it seemed open s bright. The Christmas Decorations were elegant and lovely, Overall, I would recommend this to anyone and will definitely be back myself!

Great atmosphere, cozy, delicious menu, food prepared and served very well. Wonderfully convenient. I flew in from Minnesota to visit my family. I grew up going to Short Hills Mall but have lived away from NJ for 30 years. My sister in law and I had a great day shopping and a wonderful lunch at Neiman’s! A wonderful day.

I found a plastic tab, the kind that keeps a bread bag closed, in my salad. I let the waiter know and asked him to take the food away because I lost my appetite. He didn’t charge me for the salad, which was good, but he didn’t seem to really care or try to make it better, either. It was a pricey lunch so I would have expected a little remorse or something.

NM Cafe at Short Hills is always a perfect destination for lunch. Food is outstanding, service is accommodating (and they bring me extra strawberry butter for my to-die-for popover-an NM classic. And, who can resist going downstairs afterwards to find a "little something-something" before returning home?

They must have changed management. The lovely woman who used to greet us is no longer there;( The waiters all seem new too. The food is still good but we ordered hummus as an appetizer and they brought our salads first. The manager is a big guy is seems awkward fitting in such tight spaces. He does not have the best personality for this venue.

Made reservation and arrived 15 min prior. They already had the closed sign up, they were clearly in a rush to leave. The hostess made us feel so uncomfortable she was rude and wouldn’t directly address us. Our waiter was another mess, he was nice but we saw him very upset as we were getting seated. The restaurant had already shut down the fryer, they had no bread, and wouldn’t make any large meals. We were told the fryer just stopped working “all of a sudden” as there excuse. Meanwhile we watched a couple at the bar get there meal with a side of fries! Hilarious!! My husband ordered a flatbread pizza that was the so soggy from not being fully cooked! Everything was just rushed, I was so disappointed, I understand that the restaurant closes at a certain time but when you claim a time for last seating you have to expect customers to come in! Also why accept a reservation so late if your not going to accommodate accordingly? I decided to bring this up with the manager of Neimans since the cafe manager was not in. He was extremely nice and upset and understanding! He stated he represents the company as a whole and does not appreciate this type of service. He did take care of us and It was nice to see a caring manager trying to make things right.

A little disappointed in the Waldorf salad with curry chicken. It seemed like it had been sitting around for awhile and did not meet my expectations. I did not complain while I was there. The server was lovely but she did get very busy and was unable to return to the table as often as we would have liked. The lemonade was delicious and the salmon Nicoise was also perfect. Had a very nice table next to the window.

NM Cafe is always a good bet for lunch or a casual bite. The menu has a wide range of options and creative fresh beverages. The preparations are composed without being fussy. The staff is accommodating, friendly and solicitous. Our server was particularly lovely. The environment is open which leads to a very high noise level. It is particularly noisy at lunch. If quiet conversation is your need, go after peak lunch hours.
