Very welcoming and relaxed. Great cocktails and wines, diverse and exciting menu options. Everything I’ve had has been excellent, and I want to especially highlight the French fries which must surely be among the best in Atlanta — always hot, and the ideal combination of crisp but moist inside. The cheesecake, served plain, at the end was perfect.

I’ve had lunch several times at the NM cafe and the service is always excellent. I don’t care for the broth soup but otherwise it’s an intimate place for a business lunch or girlfriend/friend meet up. I always enjoy myself when I dine there and it’s certainly on my repeat list for an approved dining lunch experience.

I had a reservation but could not be seated as the kitchen was backed up. It was a terrible experience with absolutely no service recovery. Reservations should have been closed. Very disappointed as this is one of my favorite lunch spots.

Nice experience, great service. Prices are as expected for the situation but don’t expect anything insanely great. More so a pay rate for the standard/status. I come here a few times so I’m not complaining at all but just for your insight you can expect to pay ~$100 for 2 sandwiches and a drink.

NMC has always been my favorite lunch spot, but this time it seemed to be slipping. The chicken salad was dry on a dry bed of stems. The fruit salad had no poppy seed dressing. The blueberry muffin was stale. The chicken broth came late. The flowers on the table were dead. I’m rarely a complainer, but I don’t want to give up on my favorite spot. I hope this was an isolated case. The host gets five gold stars. He was positive, friendly, and very polite.

Terrible experience. I have eaten at Neiman's for literally decades, long before it was renamed to the cafe, when it was the Zodiac. The food quality, value, and general experience have fallen off a cliff. We were a party of five, for a birthday brunch. Arrived for a 1pm reservation. We were informed that their signature bread (i.e. the popover), would take 25 minutes. That (in my opinion) is a shocking failure of management. In the middle of lunch hour, to not have your bread prepared... Next, they have changed the ingredients of another menu staple, the mandarin orange souffle. What was a salad I looked forward to as consistently (read: decades) good, is now tasteless. Next, we ordered two hamburgers, (another menu staple), requested medium, and both came out well done (i.e. completely brown). Next, a tuna melt was delivered on two very small pieces of bread that instantly became soggy and impossible to pick up. Next, we waited far too long (with empty champagne glasses) for the second round of drinks. While our waitress was seemingly trying, she had no help and apparently didn't ask for any. I needed to ask TWICE for another server to find my waitress. I dine out often and I am beyond patient. The cafe was not so busy as to justify the very poor service. In summary, food quality, overpriced, poor management, poor service. I am sad to say that I will not be returning anytime soon, and I would not recommend the Cafe to anyone.

Our server Sasha, I believe, was very attentive, but not overly so. Food was great, especially the iconic She Crab Soup. Comfortable atmosphere.
