    Our waiter was incredibly helpful. He was aware of us and arrived seconds before we needed a refill or more of something or whatever. He went above and beyond the call of duty, even checking with the chef to get the answer to a question.

    FAVORITE SAN DIEGO SPOT FOR A DELICIOUS LUNCH . Always an extraordinary experience both in cuisine and service. The little cup of hot chicken broth they bring you immediately is sumptuous as is their warm popovers they bring you while you review the menu. My favorite is their chicken salad plate. Always a wonderful treat.

    Three waiters were ill and the staff explained ( after our waiting a long time) the reason for our 20 minute wait to be seated in an almost empty restaurant. We were given a cookie as an apology. Once seated the service was fine.

    An old-fashioned place for the ladies-who-lunch. We Loved it, despite the high prices. Quality of food is excellent, and it was so quiet that the people at our table could actually hear one another!

    I always love NM for a ladies' lunch. Service is impeccable. The warm broth and poppers we are welcomed with make a wonderful introduction to the restaurant. The ambiance is bland and the food menu somewhat limited. This has been a favorite of mine for many years.
