Everytime i shop at neman i have to head here for lunch! The bread or popover they call it, that they give you with the strawberry jam is YUM! And if one isnt enough just ask for another one with NO EXTRA cost. My usual meal are : mac and cheese with chicken breast or the lobster salad. It always taste great! I;ve tried the burger and it was just OK. If your pretty hungry i recommend the crab cake. read more

It is in Neiman Marcus. The environment is nice and the waiters are so kind. They offer many different kinds of American food such as sandwiches, pasta. I ordered Olive-crusted Halibut. It tastes just so so. And the meat is not good enough. read more

the popovers are so amazing here. And they will give you more of them if you ask. what's also great, they give you butter and strawberry jam. I remember going to the resto at the neiman's in newport and they gave a strawberry butter. totally not the same. i like having just a tad bit of butter and gobs of delicious strawberry jam. oop, i forgot to mention the consomme they give you! yummy cheese straw. hm, i usually get the lobster club. it's great. I remember when I was a little kid and the resto used to be upstairs in a very dark room. the resto looks so much nicer now, although i miss the choco mint sticks they used to give at the end of the meal. read more

Desserts were amazing! They had farm fresh peaches, and a johnny walker whiskey chocolate sauce...............omg! Entrees are delicious! The trio salad is the bbest of all worlds. And the truffle fries are to die for read more

ive been to this location several times and the Newport Beach location and hands down the Newport Beach location wins in all categories. The menu at the Newport Beach location is more normal compared to what the. Beverly Hills location is trying to achieve. please do yourself a favor and take notes from your other restaurants. read more

I am a total fan of this restaurant. The daily specials are what to watch for. I have noticed that their consomme has changed a bit. Less salty and it seems like it has a hint of Ginseng or something similar. I think it is a hit or a miss sometimes w/ the main entrees. I wish they would hold some salt b/c the last time I had gone, the steak was way too salty. I wish they would bring back the special I had a few months back. It was gnocchi dish that was so heavenly! The popovers are usually heavenly and the servers are very accommodating to your needs. Don't let the host fool you to think that the restaurant is snobby. He is very nice when you get to know him. (Although he does come off a bit snotty when he asks you if you have a reservation-- I think it's the suit) I definitely recommend their desserts. It is to die for! If the restaurant is too pricey for you, just stop by for coffee and dessert around 2ish. The restaurant shouldn't be too busy then. read more

Excellent. Great service, drinks and food. Our meal began with comped chicken broth and warm bread rolls with butter and jam. A nice modern space to duck into while shopping at Neimans. read more

Stopped by for lunch at a wonderful little spot on the bottom level of Neiman Marcus!! Service was amazing as always at NM. Started with the red sangria which was very tasty. Then had the cioppino which was fabulous!! Very clean clams and salmon and dungeoness crab meat...flavor was spectacular!! The grilled salmon salad was wonderfully made...really really solid lunch!! Not sure I could ask for much else!! read more

Amazing food. Great service. Highly suggest you try it as I am new to the Los Angeles area. Mariposa is my favorite spot.

First off, here's to the ladies who lunch, as memorialized by Elaine Stritch in "Company". This is so ladies who lunch ... and by that I mean amazing. It is so the place to see and be seen, I can't even explain it to you. People check out your bag, your hair and your poodle, and it's just lunchtime. I really get off on this critical eye and I have totally mastered the up-down look of disdain, and if you don't know what I am talking about ... this may not be the place for you. It's totally fab. The food is amazing and the people watching is even better. Start off with some Voss water because tap water isn't done by the girls on the go. It is also perfectly acceptable to order one cocktail, but let's be careful ladies, these cocktails have calories. Your meal begins with a mini-teacup of soup (it may also begin with the view of a mini teacup Yorkie or Stevie Nicks, but that isn't guaranteed). They also have a decadent popover with butter and jam. The popover is delicious, but heed my warning, ladies who lunch graze on food and never take big bites. It is only socially acceptable at Mariposa to eat about as much as a svelte butterfly. The name says it all. Do not just shove a buttered popover into your mouth like some sort of grazing heifer ... didn't I mention that people are watching you. As for main courses, please order the salads. Not only is it the best thing on the menu, but you can TOTALLY tell an out-of-towner by a burger. Nothing is less attractive when perusing the net-worth of another lady then them shoving a 1/2 pound of burger into their meathole. Ladies of the Hills (*not the stupid TV show) order salad or perhaps a small plate of pasta that they stab at with forks. I have to tell you that the Lobster Cobb used to be the hippest and most ostensible sign of cool wealth, but now its the three salad (lobster, egg and chicken). It's amazing, but please leave hungry ... no one likes a bitch who eats too much salad. Don't even bother with a dessert list, ladies, you have to try on designer clothes in a few and European sizes are unforgiving as is the ladies who dine at Mariposa. I have now equipped you to dine at Mariposa in a socially-acceptable fashion. You're welcome. Dudes, also come at your own risk ... nothing like a she-pack of well coiffed cougars and CIT (cougars in training). FYI (for those lost by my musical references ... for shame) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_eSoM3s87FM read more

My aunt took my mom and I here since my mom rarely visits LA, let alone Beverly Hills. I didn't even know Neiman Marcus had their own restaurant. Although it was good, I only gave it 3 stars because I only give 4 or 5 when it really blows me away. That being said, I still think it was pretty good. Ambiance: I give this a 4. Very simple, clean and nice. It's tucked away on the bottom floor so you kind of forget that you're inside a mall, except when random models walk into the restaurant to showcase fashion clothes from a trunk show that's happening upstairs. Very fitting of Beverly Hills. Service: It started out as a 4 then went to a 2. The service started out great but went to blah later. However, I can't really blame them because they were really understaffed. The day we went, it happened to be really busy, to which my aunt says she's never seen it so busy. In the beginning when we got there, it was pretty empty so the wait staff were very friendly, professional and attentive. When it got busy though, it was really hard to flag down anyone just to get the dessert menu or even the check. Boo on being under-staffed. Food: I give this a 3.5 The food was okay to me. Some were great and some were so-so. They started out by giving us complimentary tiny cups of chicken soup (who knows why but it was pretty damn good, very light, not greasy). We ordered the Trio Salad, Chilean Sea Bass and a Club Sandwich. I thought the Sea Bass was just alright, it didn't really stand out to me. The same goes for a Club Sandwich. Maybe I had higher expectations given this is suppose to be nicer-than-average restaurant. However, I thought the Trio Salad was GREAT. Maybe because it had all the ingredients that I liked (avacado, egg salad, crab meat) but either way, I thought it was pretty good for a salad. We also ended up ordering the Brownie Sundae Split which was YUMMY. Whipped cream, pieces of brownies and vanilla icecream is such a great way to end a meal. Our bill came out to about $100 for 3 entrees, 1 dessert and 2 cups of coffee. That's Bev. Hills for you I guess One last tip, parking in the structure will cost you a sweet $27/hour without validation so don't forget to get validated! read more

I love this place! It has class and yummy food. The popover and the chicken broth are delicious to start with. I ate the lobster club....it has bacon and avocado in it....so yummy. I inhaled all 4 pieces. My friend had the kobe burger...that looked yum too. and then we saw Arnold Schwarzenegger, our California governor. read more

I've been going to Mariposa for quite some time. It's not what it used to be . The prices have gone up (expensive) and taste of food, down. There were three of us and we each had a different salad. All the dressings tasted the same- vinegar. No taste of herbs or anything else in a salad dressing . The popovers are still great and the servers and staff are very nice. It's such a perfect restaurant for "ladies to lunch" but unless it gets better I won't be going there soon. read more

Was in the store early and at noon was hungry. Although, I would normally have gone to the little cafe on the 3rd floor, my last experience was so awful that It was no longer an option. I was greeted warmly and seated in a comfortable banquette. Immediately, I was brought a demitasse of warm chicken broth along with the legendary popovers and strawberry jam. The menu is rather limited, in some ways felt more like a dinner menu. I did learn from my server that some of the dishes which were available in the old Mariposa are still available by request (e.g. salad trio of egg salad, lobster salad and tuna, as is the orange Souffle chicken salad. I like that the calories are posted. I ordered the Lobster Cobb and it was absolutely delicious. Generous portion of lobster, perfectly cooked bacon, fresh lettuce, blue cheese, dressing on side was also excellent. Although it was $36.00 I did not feel ripped off, particularly as I had the popover and jam for dessert. Service was professional and attentive. read more

We have always loved loved going here, my mom and I. It's the ultimate ladies lunch. I've always lived for the Lobster Cobb. However, we went for Mother's Day brunch and left disappointed. As they brought the lobster salads to the table, you could smell it from a few feet away. The lobster wasn't fresh at all and the smell was so strong we were scared to eat it. What a bummer. read more

mariposa was great - i had the alaskan king crab ravioli which was really delish. loved the chicken broth shot, the roll etc. one star off because the staff has been lacking consistency, which made one of my lunchmates very unhappy because she has been coming for years.. this killed the atmosphere a little. but overall, a great place! wished it was where the bar was, on the 4th floor! read more

Decided to eat lunch there . Tried salad and tuna tartar both were good. My friend tried burger it was huge she even did not finish it. I love their bread its like eclair with no cream. Service was great. Its in the same floor as cosmetics in NM. read more

During a hot Sunday afternoon while shopping we opted for something different so we chose Mariposa. The restaurant is inside Neiman Marcus and tucked away on the bottom level next to cosmetics. Mariposa lacks the glamorous outside terrace of Fred's over at Barney's, and the hustle and bustle with people watching over at SnAKS at Saks Fifth Avenue. However, the food is superb - I was blown away by the quality and taste. The service was attentive and professional. Before we ordered the waiter served the chef's soup and popover as appetizer. The servings are on the small size, but what it lacks in quantity it certainly makes up for in quality. I ordered the sea bass and each bite burst with flavor. My dining mate had pasta and it too was divine. read more

The popovers are delicious! Even the chicken broth is so tasty. The food is solid, if not a little pricey, but hey you're at Neiman's in the BH, get over it. Turkey burger was the least impressive, whereas the crab cake Caesar salad that came in a Parmesan tostada-like shell was the prettiest presentation and one of the tastiest dishes. Lobster cake special and salmon carpaccio were also yummers. A fun experience overall- and even if your wallet feels empty afterwards, your belly won't. read more

Love this place cute lunch spot! Friendly staff and delicious food. Not to mention the complimentary popover and chicken broth - amazing!!

Before I dive into my trip to Mariposa, let me spend a split second hitting upon one of my favorite lunch places in Los Angeles, which, coincidentally is also located in a Beverly Hills Department Store. Greengrass Beanery on top of Barneys (what! you didn't know it existed! Meer Peasants!) has long stood as a staple on my 'top picks for a lovely lunch in Beverly Hills' list. Boasting a gorgeous view and a simple yet elegant menu, I have never been disappointed. Plus, their lunch is probably the only thing I can afford in the department store - so a visit helps momentarily elevate my social status. I was expecting the same vibe at Mariposa, but was quite disappointed. The decor is miserably boring and sterile - akin to a continental breakfast nook in a Holiday Inn hotel. Harsh, but I absolutely hate the ambiance. As if someone shopping at lunchtime wants to eat in a windowless dungeon when there's a staggering possibility that it is 75 degrees and sunny outside. (Now, Nordstroms at the Grove - that's someone who did it right, with a gorgeous patio perfect for people watching. -review to come!) But we had already parked, and the restaurant was busy with housewives totting birkins, so we decided to give the food a shot. (Albeit, I secretly prayed that nothing was melt in your mouth spectacular so we wouldn't be tempted to ever return). The service was exceptional, from the host to the waitress to the bussers. The menu had an impressive number of unique salads, many of which were gluten free and, get this, accompanied by a carrot symbol. The little carrot certifies the dish as "go figure" - cuisine for a healthier lifestyle. I was sold. There was even a skinny drink menu with a strawberry margarita for under 200 calories!! But how? Are they magicians! All of the 'go figure' dishes had the full nutritional breakdown. Yes even the sat fat and sodium. After you place your order, this fluffy croissant with jam and butter and a little cup of their chicken broth soup is brought out for you to nibble on. How fun! The crab cakes (350 calories!) are delightful, with very little filler and a lovely citrus glaze. I ordered the tuna poke (240 calories!) and was equally impressed. The portions were adequate for one guest and the food was an excellent value for the money. Would I go out of my way to return to Mariposa. No, never. If I happen to be shopping on the basement floor of Neiman Marcus and the crab cakes call my name... Well then that might be a different story. But you're still more likely to find me at the bar on the fourth floor. (what! don't tell me you didn't know there was a bar hidden in the mens department! Why do you think your husband loves to go shopping at Neimans!) :) read more

Lobster club! Popovers! What else do you need? I went to the one in Beverly Hills. Not cheap, but really good and fantastic service. A great place when you want to treat yourself. I've certainly had food in this price range ($27 for the lobster club sandwich) that wasn't nearly as good. Plus it was fun. It sort of harkened back to the olden days when all department stores had restaurants. read more

Lovely. I can always count on the class of Neiman Marcus to come through for me when I want to take someone close to me for lunch. The waitstaff is accommodating and they go out of their way to take such good care of me. The consomme with the little cheese cracker to begin is a very special touch and the rest of the lunch, no matter what I feel like having, is the just the right amount and always tasty. The light and airy popovers are wonderful with the side of butter and strawberry jam. Today I felt like fish and chips. They were lightly battered with a few fries on the side...very light and just the right amount(s). My daughter had the hamburger and loved it. I'm a fan with everything on the menu...for those who like lobster clubs...this is the place to try. Love you, Mariposa! read more

Very yummy. Love their pasta with shrimp. Excellent service. Excellent presentation. Very unique & delicious desserts. Quiet, classy, love this place. Will definitely return A+ read more

Love the environment! The shrimp in the linguini was AWESOME, made perfectly! We also ordered the lobster club sandwich, lots of lobsters and yummy taro and sweet potato chips! It was just the right portion, not too much. Good service, and of course, perfect location! read more

Whenever I come back home to LA, Mariposa in Neiman's is a must for me. I crave their delicious, warm popovers that they bring out the second you sit down, with jelly and butter. They also bring cute little cups of warm chicken broth. Delish. I've never had a bad meal at this restaurant, and love dining here. The menu has a wide range of choices from soups and salads to burgers and sandwiches. Overall, very good food in a fun, trendy locatoin that's even better for people-watching :) read more

Love this place! The other reviews are right on, so I won't be redundant. All I will say, is if you're ever in Oahu the Mariposa is out of this world with a to-die-for view and the best smoothies ever. Mahalo. read more

the truffle and parmesan french fries are one of the greatest things i've ever had... and the roast chicken served on a bed of truffle mac and cheese... there are no words... yum the salmon salad is amazing as well... kobe burger... yum... but really cheesy... the bread they server... so good... pretty much everything is great... but everyone should try the fries... the staff are nice.. not as pretentious as you think... will go back many many more times... better than greengrass down the street... read more

I'm not getting the big deal about this place. It's a restaurant that think's it's cool because it's in the basement of a Neiman Marcus. This place is great for people watching (I never get tired of watching the brain dead Beverly Hills housewives, Super Sweet 16 rejects, and rich old grannies), but that's about it. Like everyone else is saying here, I found the popover and chicken broth to be very tasty, but the rest of the food and the service were less than stellar for a restaurant in a supposedly swanky area. I came during lunch time and this place was packed, so I was expecting some good food, but was sorely disappointed. Our server was friendly, but pretty non-existent. The price was average and expected, so no complaining there. Do yourself a favor, unless you're trying to show off your fancy new Neiman baubles to the rest of high society, pop on over to Little Next Door down on 3rd, or even The Farm or Jack N Jill's, because this place blows. read more

I have been going to Mariposa for years. They have a great staff and always give impeccable service. I love that they list the calories and offer options for everyone. It is the perfect place for a quick break in a shopping day at Neimans or for catching up with the ladies. The Bar on Four is a great stop if you want a cocktail and people watch, but the Mariposa is the best menu for lunch. The only issue is that their lunch hour can be a little busy so it helps to get a reservation in ahead of time. read more

ambiance//**** not crazy impressive like the rotunda...but it has it's own quiet elegance service//**** i'm not sure if it's because of the tranquility of the place but you definitely receive white glove service food//*** the standard things: - chicken consume! yea you try replicating it at home? just give up...it's a tiny shot of wholesome stock - puffy pastry called popovers + strawberry butter i guess the times i've gone i ordered the wrong things! what lobster club sandwich?! lol i vaguely remember my steak~ haha~ ~*~ most people dine here as a break from shopping so you can expect the patrons to be 99% female read more

Robert makes every woman who eats here feel coddled and special! The food is good and the ambiance lovely for a ladies lunch in neimans I love the popovers and could eat a dozen before my lunch arrives! It's really nice read more

My favorite place to go for Ladies Luncheon with my Mom. The popovers are AMAZING. Good job Mariposa for your consistant yumminess! The servers are always nice and professional :-) read more

This place is a gem! The popover & chicken broth to start is a wonderful touch. Their puff bread that they serve prior to the meal is some of the best bread I've ever had. In fact, all the food we had was great! The crab dumplings were spectacular. The burger was delicious. He braised short rib open face was great. The sides that accompanied them (Mac & cheese and truffle fries) were also delicious! Finished it off with the bread pudding from the specials menu and that was wonderful too! The service is also great and definitely up to par with what you'd expect from a restaurant serving this level of food at these prices. read more

Always amazing. Today I had a salmon entree with brussel sprouts. The truffle fries is always decadent and good. Service was exceptional as was the attention paid by the host and manager read more

Great lunch! Delicious and nice service. I had the chicken with vegetables and mash potatoes sitting on a tangy lemon sauce. Nice restaurant read more

A classy place, perfect for catching up with friends! I am a big fan of Mariposa. The food is excellent, the atmosphere is cozy and elegant, the service is great, and I don't think it has too much of a "snobbish" feeling to it. I highly recommend: The Lobster Club TRUFFLE FRIES (absolutely delicious!) Latte (their coffee is great, just make sure to get an extra shot of espresso for the perfect latte) If you want a treat-to-go, grab one of their freshly-baked cookies (they usually have them in the front near the reservation desk, but if not- just ask). THE PERFECT CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE! The popovers and chicken broth they bring you before your meal are extremely tasty as well! read more

The restaurant started out nicely. Nice staff but the food left much to be desired. Ordered several appetizers and lunch entrees including scallops, lobster salad, etc. The pop overs are ok nothing I would ever rush for as I've certainly had much better. read more
