The NM Cafe at Neiman Marcus

Lobster ravioli is very good. Concentrated lobster flavor and everything cooked properly. Will come back again.

I could eat here everyday! I mostly come for the Salmon Tacos with avocado. I wish they were open until the store closes at 9pm instead of 5. Well, maybe that’s a good thing in my case because I would probably eat here twice a day (LOL). Oh did, I mentioned the bread with strawberry butter is to die for?!? Delicious!!!
For quicker service sit at the bar because the service is faster for some reason.

Awesome food and very good service. The only issue is space. Very congested. Seems like the place is very popular and can see people waiting or going back without getting a seat.

i love to lunch here. It’s expensive but so are all the other restaurants of its type in the Tysons Corner area. The yeast roll and strawberry butter is a nice start. I love their ice tea with the orange and mint leaves garnish. The specials are fantastic and so are the salads. I don’t give it 5 stars cause it’s in a department store and its stark décor needs a little more pizzaz. Even though it’s a pricey lunch I like to come back.

Been there a couple of times. And we had problems every time ate there. the staff is rude. not volunteer to anything for our table. They only nice to people who spend a lot of money and dress up in a nice outfit. not busy the staff not want to do anything for us. the food is good. not volunteer to wait on us when we walked in. they were having a gossip party. they were talking about other customers. we had to yell at the staff to get waited on. they would not talk to us. and took us to the table. threw the menus on the table. and ran away and not come back. we had nothing on our table. had to ask to get waited on. Not busy at all. not volunteer to give us napkins, silverware, food, beverages, drinking glasses. The waitress not want to write down the menu. Said not their job. We had to yell at waitress to do it. We were not finished ordering. and the waitress walk away and not come back. talk back rude, yell at us, interrupt us while speaking, rush to get rid of us. Not busy at all. We got all orders wrong. And not volunteer to do anything about it. The waitress got angry. Not a tip. She threw the bill on the table. We got complimentary beverages when we complained to the manager. We just left the money on the table on the table. The waitress left us to have her lunch. We had to ask the waitress to come back and finish the job. the food was good.

My favorite food to eat here is the Moroccan lentil meatball soup. But they don’t seem to have that on the menu anymore. I wish they would bring that back. I also love the bread w/​strawberry butter. Absolutely amazing. The waiters and waitresses are really nice and the restaurant has a nice vibe to it. Every time I’m in Tysons, I usually eat here.

Good place to go sneak away to for a beer or glass of wine while the ladies shop. Bring your iPad there is wifi to stream the games.

This place is a little gem! I like that it seems off the beaten path from the normal Neiman’s mad dash (from the entrance to the rest of the mall). It’s tucked into the corner downstairs, but, when you do find it, you’re welcomed with a smile. It’s a modestly appointed venue for a Neiman’s product that offered no disappointments! The staff was attentive, the food options were seasonally relevant and those damn rolls in the beginning were addictive! They are accompanied by fruit spread and actually melt in your mouth… talk about gastronomic deliciousness. I had the lobster Cobb salad and something sparkling to drink. The salad was phenomenal and well worth the $ 44. I easily had a pound of lobster meat so I think the price justified my satiated palate and full belly. Let’s just say I’ll be returning…

Food is good (esp bread and butter). I’ve been here a quite few times and enough for me to say service is definitely hit or miss. Other than a few older snobby servers, the rest of the crew are acceptable.

The complimentary bread and strawberry butter is great! I ordered the burger with chips with the «secret sauce» which I’m glad it was served on the side because it tasted a lot like steak sauce, which I don’t like. The burger didn’t really tasted grilled to me but it sure took a while to cook. I’ll definitely go back again because of the great service and to try the desserts because even though I didn’t have any they sure looked delicious and the capuccinos looked great as well.

I work in the mall so sometimes I like to come to nm café for lunch. Love that they make me a custom meal– grilled chicken with my side of veggies. Brussels, zucchini and squash are all delicious and chicken is seasoned nicely. Great healthy lunch!

This was my first time eating here. I decided go come on my break with a friend for my birthday. The atmosphere was very nice. But service was terrible. I could never find the server. I get an one hour break but the food took forever, I ended up cutting lunch short and taking my food Togo.
Oh and I didn’t get my birthday cake for my birthday either. But I definitely couldn’t wait for the server to come back again.
When I finally got my food it was very plain and nothing special. I got the special with a soup and chicken salad. The tortilla soup tasted more like tomato soup with a few chips on top and it was wayyyyy to salty. The chicken salad was very bland, tasted like it came right from a can.
I guess since it’s Neimans Marcus I expected more? Especially for the price, the only good thing was my monkey bread with strawberry butter. But that’s definitely not enough for me to come back again.

Nice restaurant for lunch. Good sandwiches! Don’t forget the added perk that you can shop after lunch.

It’s difficult to disappoint when you’ve already set your expectations pretty low, but NM Café did a pretty good job of achieving this feat. Although neither of us expected that the food would be particularly good, we decided that, considering the countless weekends we spend at Tysons Galleria, we should at least give the NM Café a try.
We were off to a great start with the warm bread and strawberry butter at the beginning of the meal. Hey, maybe this place will actually exceed expectations! And then our sandwich dishes arrived, and all hope was shattered. I order the sampler, consisting of a half sandwich (I ordered turkey), cup of soup (don’t be fooled by the name «pasta fagioli.» It’s pretty much minestrone soup), and «fresh fruit.» The sandwich was incredibly sad. The bread must have been toasted at some point in its life, but by the time it arrived at the table it was cold and extremely tough. In between the nearly inedible bread was a thin slice of dry turkey, one sheet of lettuce, and the nearly end-​piece of a tomato. After a few bites, I gave up and worked on my mediocre, but edible, minestrone soup. I also passed on the «fresh» fruit which had dried around the edges, looking like it had spent some time in its sliced and plated state.
My husband fared better with the grilled cheese. The bread was actually nicely buttered and toasted, and a thick layer of cheese oozed out from between the slices. There was some sort of chunky tomato jam that was a little confusing at first due to its sweetness, but it did grow on me as I worked my way through the sandwich. My husband seemed to be OK with his butternut squash soup, although I found it to be too watery. I few stabs at the limp salad and a taste of the extremely sour vinaigrette, and we were very much done with our meal.
I think my sulky expression and the barely-​touched state of my sandwich tipped off the staff as to our disappointment. While they went around the restaurant a couple of times to ask if everyone was enjoying their meals, they passed us by each time after a few sidelong glances in our general direction. When the check came, it was accompanied by a single melty thin mint for our table of two diners.
This may be an OK place to stop by for a coffee and maybe to snag a few rolls while shopping, but I think I’ve satisfied any curiosity I had about the food here.

I have passed this café so many times and have always wondered to myself how could a café inside a department store stay in business. Much to my surprise, I came here on a Sunday and it was very busy.; many people were streaming in and out.
They bring you bread with some sort of strawberry butter, which was phenomenal! The bread was fluffy and the butter was sweet. I think one could easily be full from that alone. The majority of the people were eating salads, but I got the tuscan chicken melt and today’s sampler with broccoli cheddar and chicken salad. The tuscan chicken melt came with a side salad with balsamic vinegar dressing. I had to learn the hard way to NOT pour the entire dressing into the salad as it turns out to be extremely sour. Although when mixed with the chicken salad it is not bad. The chicken salad was ok but they do have celery in it, which I personally do not like.
So when it was time to pay, I used my perk card and credit card. The server was extremely rude by pointing out the grand total and not the remaining balance charged to my credit card. DUH! I know that since I’m paying with the perk card. I am not trying to stiff you out of your tip, but at that point I sure lowered what I was originally going to give. So this place has pretty good food, but is expensive as is with everything else in Neiman Marcus. The servers do not treat you kindly so I will not be back.

I came here with my aunt, mother and grandma for lunch since my aunt was raving about how amazing lunch is here.
The wait was a bit long since the café is kind of small and stuffy but it helps that they give you a buzzer so that you can look around a bit while you wait.
The Pull a part rolls that they give for free are really good with the strawberry whipped butter it actually had chunks of fruit in it.
I ordered the Moroccan Grilled Chicken Wrap it wasn’t bad pretty filling for a wrap. The tomatillo salad dressing for the side salad was a bit on the salty side.
Overall:decent experience staff was pretty attentive; a bit pricey but your at neiman marcus lol. I certainly would come back if i wanted spluge a bit for lunch or to get more of those pull a part rolls with the strawberry whipped butter.

It’s been years since I had lunch at the NM Café and it was really quite good. I ordered the roasted salmon with a circle of goat cheese served on a bed of fresh greens. Heart of palm and artichoke added interest to the salad. The only thing I didn’t care for was the sweet salad dressing which came on the side. I opted for oil and vinegar. You are welcome to add a glass of wine, an iced tea-​sherbet float, etc.
A fresh roll with a scoop of flavored butter arrived before the entrée. Honestly, for under $ 20, I was refreshed enough to shop another hour. True, the restaurant is small. Yes, it gets super busy at the noon hour, but it is one of the few places in the Galleria Mall where you get fresh food prepared with such care. BTW, my salmon arrived hot and perfectly cooked. I am a fan, especially now that the store welcomes all credit cards. Located on the lower level, inside Neiman Marcus.

Really small, really crowded, didn’t request but was seated in the fruit fly section. Limited menu, 2 items they were out of. The server was very sweet and nice but that didn’t make up for the unfulling meal. Great spot to people watch. I laughed a little inside at most of them. Absolutely ridiculous. Even better if you’re able to hear a snippet of their conversations too.
You’re better off hitting up the Starbucks, grabbing a premade panini and iced coffee and enjoying the weather outside on a bench.

I take one star away for décor, I mean really we are in NM… can’t you pop out of the café and make it fabulous with what they sell in store?
Now why it earns every other star — the food it surprising for an instore café as it actually tastes good and makes you want to return even when you’re not shopping.
Sean (manager /​headchef) whatever his title speaks knowledgeably about food, wine and even fills my special requests with a smile. I’m special annoying food allergy person, he never makes me feel like I am putting him out with my special needs unlike 90 percent of other establishments. The wait staff is always so sweet, polite and it doesn’t go unnoticed the point to remember my name. Sean I’ve noticed stops by tables to check on customers and say hello, I know its silly but the extra touches is why I shop and eat at NM.
I do have a habit of starting out with good intentions with the lemonade pomegranate drink and then Sean will appear with a suggestion of wine pairing that has me quite happy for my shopping trip (I blame NM Café buying under wine influence). After my leisurely lunch I indulge in a proper cappuccino, proper in that they know how to make one; this is no small feet in the area.
The models that walk around are also an enjoyable plus, I’m still dreaming of this red fur coat I saw two winters ago.
Next time you are out to fight the mall shopping or just want a good lunch stop in, some days it doesn’t hurt to make a reservation because I’ve noticed I’m not the only one to discover this hidden gem.

American Express or cash (closest ATM is the Bank of America one outside the Maggiano’s on the second floor). Tucked inside the Neiman Marcus on the lower level, this department store café was way more upscale than I expected. In fact, I was pretty much slumming it in my flag football outfit, so I tucked myself into the corner of the bar. Their barstools are actually tall director chairs which are awkward to seat yourself with.
Turkey breast sandwich was pretty basic, though the tomato slice was bordering on mushy. Didn’t quite catch the mayo flavoring, but the horseradish mustard was a plus. Seasonal fruit didn’t taste like it was out of a can, but it was diced awkwardly small for their fork size. I’d asked for the ham & beans soup of the day, but the gentleman who took my order was hard of hearing and I was let down by the grainy tortilla soup. This stuff is not worth the premium when you can get better at chain sandwich franchises for half the price.
I was disappointed to find out that they didn’t offer popovers at this location… because the ovens in their kitchen were too small? I raised an eyebrow at the excuse but still enjoyed my monkeybread with strawberry butter, and accepted the offer of a second helping. Unfortunately, that was the highlight of my lunch. Stereotypical Neiman Marcus clientele populate this café on the weekends; I was definitely the youngest customer there by a decade or two. Seriously, Neiman Marcus doesn’t attract family crowds, so I’m sure the kiddie menu is rarely tested. Food served quickly and pleasant service but I won’t be back.
