Excellent Benjamin was our server and he was amazing!!!!Our food was delicious and our server was amazing. There was a hair in my food so had to leave 1/2, but our pup will eat it. I would come back again because our server and ambiance was excellent..Coffee: amazing too.

This restaurant is located inside Neiman Marcus. I have been dining in a few times already. Server Ben and Mark were friendly each time I visited. Cute atmosphere to have a lovely lunch with friends. Food and drinks definitely are a hit! Good size portions for what you pay for. Have no complaints everything on the menu is scrumptious! They always have a specialty menu where other dishes are offered. My go to drink is espresso martini. One of my favorite while enjoying my meal. Lemon drop martini didn't disappoint me either! Fantastic martinis all around! On a nice warm day, I recommend sitting outside in take the view of Newport Beach. As you can see, I'm a returning patron due to the fact how much I enjoy it.

We came here as a group of 8. It took a while to get seated, as there was a long line of people waiting at the hostess' podium. A couple tried to cut in front of us which the hostess did not allow, and I was grateful for that. We chose the restaurant at the recommendation of our family friends, and it was a little difficult to find since it's located inside of Neiman Marcus. We did find it, but the signage for the restaurant seemed pretty limited/lacking and we needed to ask staff for directions. The restaurant has big windows and lots of natural light, which is beautiful. The carpet is a bright blue which looks nice in the light. We were served a puffed pastry of sorts which I didn't take a picture of because I was so excited to eat it. It came with a berry butter which was super delicious and unique. The pastries were also warm so the butter melted nicely on them. I had the citrus salad which was very good and I added salmon. I wanted something light and this salad was exactly what I was looking for. My boyfriend had the grain bowl and said the miso sauce was delicious. We also had some drinks, including an espresso martini, which was perfectly sweet. Our waiter was so nice and attentive. It is on the pricier side, but it was a nice treat so I think it's worth it. We would definitely return!

Excellent food loved the chop salad ! The puff pastry that came before meal melted in our mouths! Rigoberto was our server and was very polite and helpful. Everything was great! Ambiance was fancy and what you'd expect for Neiman Marcus at Fashion Island. We'd definitely come back!

amazing service as always! ordered some new dishes and tried the spinach artichoke dip & spaghetti! They are easily our new favorites now! The chips that come with the spinach artichoke dip are a bit softer. I do wish they provided more chips with this dish.- spinach artichoke dip with warm tortilla chips - NM burger- pecan crusted salmon- spaghetti (on their specials menu)

One of my mom's favorites. Unfortunately we were unable to make reservation for 5 and when we got there the only available tables were outside on the balcony. Let me tell you how undesirable that was. For starters the seats were old and dirty looking, if you're dressed nice, you def want to avoid sitting outside. They have these tube flame lamps but it did not keep us warm (well 1/2 of the table was warm and the other 1/2 facing the wind was freezing). The chill outside made your food cold so fast that you won't be able to enjoy any of your hot foods.On to the food. I got the $20 burger and the patty was burnt and had a bitter taste to it. My mom loved her roasted pear salad and California club. We also ordered the roasted pear salad with salmon and that was delicious and surprisingly moist and tuna salad sandwich was ok. We made a mistake of ordering the truffle fries as a couple of our orders came w fries and if your sitting outside, cold fries are no bueno. Not sure what the rave was about the puffs and chicken broth that's included w the meals but we thought they were ok. The strawberry butter was not as good as I had envisioned.Overall: Maybe seated outside completely ruined my experience and my burnt patty. When I eat at bougie place I have such a high expectation. I'm pretty sure I'll be back again with my mom one of these days. I'll make sure we sit inside and maybe order different entrees and give it another go. The services were incredibly friendly and delightful.

Disappointing! My goat cheese had mold on it and instead of apologizing and addressing, our waiter claimed they "switched the goat cheese to blue cheese." I know what blue cheese tastes like, I hate it. That was moldy goat cheese. Gross.

Great ambiance and amazing food/service. The restaurant manager, Reza, is the best and always takes care of you.

It was good but not the best. Service was just ok, not great. I got a salad with grilled chicken and while the salad was great, the grilled chicken was kind of dry. Pretty expensive for what you get but you are at Neiman Marcus so I guess it is expected.

Good is delicious , serveur very professional and friendly !I recommend this restaurant highly . Always suggest to my friends to choose this place ! Love the popovers !
