NM Cafe

"Incredible! Better to make reservation in advance though since they are usually very busy."

"Atul is the best bartender and just all around great person. He always takes care of us when we go for a quick bite that turns into a whole event. Bummed to find out he moved to service, but he still made it a point to come and help us when he had time. Which was welcomed given the new bartender was anxious, still learning and gave an unsettling Vibe. Granted he was new but hopefully he relaxes a tad. All the servers including Rocky are super sweet and caring! Loved it here"

"We've been here and the Rotunda in San Francisco a number of times. Today we sat at the bar for lunch and Atul the bartender was excellent. To start you're given consomme and delicious popovers with strawberry butter. The Holiday special crab pasta was really good. Unfortunately the bread on the tuna melt was slightly soggy. The highlight of our lunch was the person sitting alone at the bar, several seats away from us whom we noticed immediately. We didn't say anything to him until he got up to leave. It was former San Francisco 49er, Hall of Famer, and holder of many NFL records, Jerry Rice. He was so nice, he shook our hands a couple of times, talked to us for awhile and then asked us if we would like to have our picture taken with him which we did. I don't think that I should post the picture. He also walked around the Cafe and talked to customers and some had their pictures taken too. He's a great guy!"

"The food, while more than decent, was almost secondary to the service. We were very fortunate to have Robert as our server and he made the experience memorable. The lunch started with consume and Yorkshire pudding with whipped strawberry butter. We ordered chicken Caesar salad and beet salad. Both were wonderful but the beet salad was better. Cappuccino was excellent. Robert was attentive and friendly, he positively contributed to the meal!"

"On the 3rd floor of NM in Stanford shopping mall, this was a quite cafe, even on a Saturday lunch time, surprisingly! Simple decor, comfortable, tables were a bit closer though. The seafood pasta was pretty good, with a couple large scallops and shrimps. The salmon was reasonable. But the crab sandwich was very so so and small, disappointing! Not good CP!"
