For a restaurant tied to a department store the food is surprisingly good and the service staff is friendly. We enjoy the outdoor seating on the balcony which has a good breeze and a nice atmosphere. Favorite dishes are their unique chicken Milanese, the lobster bisque, crab cakes and the cookies. read more

We were pleasantly surprised when we were seated .They immediately served us yummy ,fresh ,popovers with strawberry butter. This alone is worth coming for ! They also gave us complimentary consumme ( a cup of chicken broth ) from the chef , while we were checking out the menu. The ambiance is very nice. The service was great, as well. Everyone dining was dressed really nice and seemed happy and relaxed. It was Just a good vibe all around. They have indoor and outdoor seating available. It was a beautiful day, so we sat outside. I chose the salmon tacos . 2 large salmon tacos were served with chips and salsa. The chips did not look enticing nor edible , so I skipped those. The salmon tacos were good. the salmon could've been cooked a little, less as it was a bit dry , but ,the sauce was yummy ,and I squeezed a lemon on it and it fixed it. The taco also had cabbage slaw and avocado. I would get these again. I could only eat one ,after the filling popover, so it's definitely enough to share with someone. I would just ask for a different accompaniment, than the chips and salsa, that came with it. My hubby was excited that they had a fish Reuben on the menu ! He ordered it and was extremely disappointed. It was toasted ,not grilled, but that wasn't the issue. The fish was so dry and tasted fishy. It loooked old. Fortunately, he switched the chips for the fries ( pre order after seeing everyone else's fries while walking to our seat ) so at least he had those and 1 of my salmon tacos. I definitely would steer clear of the fish Reuben. I saw plenty of other options I'd try on the menu ,next time we are shopping at Neiman Marcus and are hungry. The chicken salad croissant looked good and so did a few of the salads. read more

Beautiful restaurant located in a hidden nook. I would love for this restaurant to have more signs the help shoppers of Merricks Park find it. I've been twice and both times the service was great. For a hidden restaurant it gets pretty busy but not overcrowded. The vibe is very chill. There is a bar and beautiful indoor sitting area. Only negative is that it gets loud in there. The tables outside on the balcony patio is lovely! There are fans all over and the tables are spaced far enough to have a nice peaceful meal. The food is really good! I've only been for lunch but the selection is wonderful. They give each person at the table a puff pastry with strawberry butter and a small cup of warm chicken broth to start. Wait times were short and dish portion sizes were filling. read more

Such a beautiful place to have lunch with girls, an intimate lunch or dinner with family or a loved one. The food is beautiful crafted, they include complimentary croissants, a strawberry butter and chicken bone broth as an apperitivo. The service is amazing!!!! ALL of the waiters are attentive, kind, respectful. I have even done an event here for a large party (11 guests) and they were even attentive to helping me set up the table, give out gifts, etc. read more

Mariposa - a table set for a baby shower party - New American Near Me - Coral Gables, Florida

I enjoyed the service and meal. I was invited by a friend for a business meeting. Enjoyed the lobster roll and delicious cookies. I wish there was a dog-free room. I didn't know so many dogs would be nearby for my indoor experience.. I'm not a fan of dogs near my food. One person struggled to confine her dog to her table. It was an uncomfortable and distracting moment. Smh.. No pics. read more

Today I received better customer service from the metro rail attendant than I did at Mariposa. From Honolulu to Dallas, this is one of my homes away from home. But today was a disappointment starting with the hostess and continuing to the food and service. This was my first long trip to Miami, and as soon as I saw my hometown favorite, Neiman Marcus, was here, I immediately bookmarked it. I arrived during a torrential downpour and made my way to the third floor, but when I didn't immediately find the restaurant, which is well hidden near the elevators, I went to the first floor and asked. The kind woman thought I had asked where the restroom was. Oops. The next sales associate I found was buried in her phone. She never looked up at me and seemed completely put out that I asked her where the restaurant was. This was sign #1 that I was not in Dallas (or Honolulu) anymore. Unfortunately, the escalator from the first to the second floor is broken, which required I take the elevator. Once I finally found the restaurant, the hostess seemed similarly annoyed with me and tried to deter me from dining, saying it would be up to 35 minutes before I could be seated. As a former restaurant hostess, I understood her game. The restaurant was not busy, but ok. (How could she have known I had traveled from Dallas via 2.5 years in South America in a torrential downpour during a global pandemic to be here?) She asked if I preferred outdoor or indoor. I always prefer outdoor during pandemics, but I just wanted lunch. I said I didn't care. She seemed surprised, then she took my phone number. The system knew me and sent me a text message to confirm my reservation. Then I went shopping. Thirty minutes passed. In Hostessing 101 they teach you to surprise and delight the customer by giving a 10-minute padding to your seating estimates. I thought my phone was broken. Had I missed the text saying my table was ready? I knew the restaurant would be closing at 5 and I was so hungry after schlepping all over Miami in the rain, museum hopping and whatnot. Finally, after an hour had passed since my phone registered my res, I went upstairs. The hostess was nowhere to be found. When she finally reappeared, I asked her where I was on the list. "Oh, you're next." Uh huh. The servers were clearly closing the restaurant. The bartenders were gone. Another customer appeared and asked which way to the parking garage. The hostess responded that she's not familiar with the area. What?!? This mall is tiny. It's outdoor. There are only two department stores and only two garages. I've been here an hour and I can tell you where they both are. I gave the customer directions to her Nordstrom garage. And I waited, browsing the teas, nuts, and Truff Sauces, until finally, the hostess decided to seat me inside (there was only one small party outside). It was a bit longer before a server appeared with my long-awaited popover and consummé. The consummé was delicious. The popover was burned. I wondered if this was punishment for being the last customer seated? Then I looked around and saw everyone's popover was too dark. It was not like Dallas (or Honolulu). Same was true of the spiced ice tea. The salad was good. The hot tea was great. The music is a bit too loud. My server continually asked me to repeat what I said. I was rushed out even though there were several other diners finishing (not in S. America anymore). It was a let down to be sure. read more

I had lunch with my family. We ordered tuna as an appetizer, salmon as a main entrance and couscous with chicken. The quality of food was fresh and good. The service was kind and friendly from the hostess to the waitress. They are dog friendly. This restaurant is located inside Newman Marcus after crossing the corner store. It's worth it and it's much better to eat in Mariposa than in the restaurants located inside the mall. I have eaten several times in the Merrick Park's restaurants and they are not good at all because the quality of food and flavor is bad. So it's better to eat here if you are shopping around. The place is cleaned. It's not fancy and nothing special, the only thing special is the balcony, but the restaurant is not well decorated. read more

I had lunch at Mariposa today with nine of my friends to celebrate my birthday. Ruven, our waiter, provided amazing service which added to the beautiful atmosphere and the fabulous food. The chicken broth was hot and tasty, which was a delight on this cold afternoon, and the warm popovers with strawberry butter were phenomenal!! Everyone enjoyed their lunch and Reuven surprised me with a fantastic dessert that was large enough for all of us to share. Ruven was an excellent waiter and I hope he will be my waiter on my next visit to Mariposa. read more

I had heard of the restaurant inside of Neiman Marcus but I was pretty loyal to a similar restaurant in the same Shops at Merrick Park. A friend wanted to meet up for a Friday lunch and shopping when we both were off and she suggested Mariposa. So glad I took the recommendation! Not only were the drinks and food delicious, the service was absolutely top notch. Can't wait for the next time/meal I can visit. read more

Devine and quaint are what comes to mind when I think of mariposa! The atmosphere is very light and welcoming, which matches the staff. The staff is very friendly and very catering to all needs.

Highly recommend coming here while shopping or even for a hungry afternoon read more

We just had a birthday party for a friend..16 ladies. They have a side room good for private parties, it's bright with windows..very nice.. We do many parties with Mariposa. Each and every time the food , can't beat their popovers, and service is the best. Micheal and Jodi are the best to work with. Everything runs so smoothly. Our servers today Gabriel and Dias ( I think I got the names right) could not of been better. Thank you Mariposa Neiman Marcus..you are the best! read more

Must go! Must go! Must go! I used to come here a lot when i was little with my family, but for some reason we slowly stopped. Why? I have NO IDEA cause this place is fabulous! Firstly, it's beautiful. If you sit outside you get a wonderful view on a balcony and i can only imagine how romantic it looks at night!! The inside felt very spacious and allowed for big parties and tables while retaining a talkative atmosphere that wasn't offensive in volume. The service was outstanding! Do the waiters read minds? Honestly- i felt like the second i noticed i needed something my server was right next to me with a smile. Fell in love a little. okay okay- now onto the FOOD review. The prices are EXTREMELY reasonable for the quality and portion in my opinion. My moms Maple Glazed Turkey club was VERY generous in portion of turkey and somehow the sandwich was hot while the veggies were cold? Explain that. Magic. I was so jealous... until i saw MINE. Excuse me but the amount fo lobster i got in my sandwich cost more than the sandwich. Keep that as my little secret though. I cant even explain how absolutely out of this world delicious it was. And the SAUCE? Oh my God whatever it is- i need it for every meal all the time. The crab cake was very think and surprisingly paired perfectly with the tomato. Again with the magic mystery sauce. Whatever it was- divine. When i first saw that they brought those fries banana chips on the side- i was disappointed. Im a side of fries kinda girl- except today. They were perfectly crispy and were amazing inside my sandwich. Never would have ever thought of that. Oh and their puff bread/butter? Ridiculous. A must try. Go there just for that bread and butter. read more

Always, great service and good quality food. A little on the pricey side, but def worth it.

I love this place more every time I visit. Today we were treated to some of the best cocktails in Miami, and Ruth, the bartender made our experience so much better.

We had an awesome time! read more

Possibly one of the worse experiences I've encountered at a restaurant the last few years. A restaurant that is not normally busy as it hides in the 3rd level of the Neiman Marcus Coral Gables store, told me there were no tables available when I tried to grab a quick bite for lunch. And that there was at least a 30 min wait! I'm a 39.5 weeks pregnant and was with my senior mother and meeting my husband for lunch. Not knowing my husband had arrived before me, I attempted to call him to let him know of the wait, to find out they had JUST sat him down at a table for 4. As I approached the table there were at least 4 more tables open with no "reserved" signs. Interesting how the white American male gets a table with NO wait and the Latin pregnant woman has to wait 30 min IF she's lucky enough to get a table. I have emailed corporate and will bring this to my attorney. Enough is enough. A policy of racism and discrimination. Food is okay and service is poor as they're highly understaffed. read more

This hidden gem is tucked away on the third floor of NM. If you blink, you'll miss it! Walked in during the lunch rush and sat inside. The waiter was extremely attentive and friendly! He paid attention to every detail on our orders and was always ready with a refill. I ordered the veggie wrap and it was delicious! The bread and strawberry butter they serve right before your meal is soooo yummy! I could die happy with that butter! Haha. Portions were large (to me anyway)... So, I recommend possibly sharing, if you want. For dessert I ordered the cookie box, which comes with five warm chocolate chip cookies ready to go & a recipe to make them at home in the box! Perfect ending to a great lunch! Loved the ambience, the service, and the food! I'll be back again soon! :) read more

Mariposa - Angus Burger - New American Near Me - Coral Gables, Florida

This review is based on the service only. Our server, Raoul, came by once to take our drink order and a second time to take our mains. And then disappeared. Well, he disappeared from our table anyway... we did see him a few times at nearby tables but never again at ours. We were brought the classic consommé and popover by the busser and they were never removed when the entrees came. We were never asked if we wanted water and NO ONE came by to check on us even once. I had to ask the hostess for our waiter - he NEVER again showed his face. I requested water for my 89 year old aunt and got it after the 2nd request at the end of the meal. I asked to speak to the manager, Jodie. She barely apologized and said she would have to speak to him. That's it. I had to ask the busser for the check and eventually our server reappeared to hand me my credit card back with a smile... I told him the service had been seriously lacking this evening, to which he was stunned. "Jodie's talk" didn't go far at all apparently. It's unfortunate because years ago, this was a wonderful restaurant with excellent service. The food was consistently good, the service needs significant improvement. read more

This restaurant located inside Neiman Marcus at Merrick Park has excellent food and ambiance. If the weather is nice, request a table outside. It feels like you are in a cute little neighborhood overlooking the rooftops. I ordered the chicken paillaird which was very tasty on a bed of couscous. To finish it off, we ordered cannoli and cafe. A very pleasant afternoon with great friends and great food. There is a parking garage at the mall, so parking is a breeze. read more

As if Coral Gables wasn't boujie enough, this restaurant located within the Neiman Marcus is the perfect salad spot to satisfy your appetite but not be fully saturated either. Merrick Park offers some of the highest end destinations in dining and retail goodness just as you'd expect. The fact that I don't have to settle for the food court quality food when shopping here surely elevates the satisfaction level. They serve a hearty dinner menu and are sure to please with their varied options. There's parking for the retail stores so dining here isn't an extra logistical burden. It's rare to see cocktails served within a retail store so indulge. Now you can buy a dress and a drink within the same store which definitely adds to its appeal. If cookies are your thing, they serve the biggest in town. read more

Here's the breakdown:it's pricey, but worth it on a night you want to splurge. The food was delicious and they give you good portions. I recommend coming for Miami Spice. They give you the full portion servings. We even had to take one of our desserts and parts of our entrees home. We managed to stuff our already full bellies with the creme brulee because we couldn't take it home, but it was worth it. Everything else we tasted was delightful as well: lobster bisque, burrata, filet mignon, and snapper. On top of all the great food, everyone there was pleasant and attentive. read more

My friend and I ate here today for lunch after a bit of shopping (keep in mind, I don't make enough money to actually buy anything in Merrick Park, but she does!). We were seated by the wall, next to a group of women who would be prime candidates if they were to ever make "Desperate Housewives of Miami." To start you off, they bring you a tiny cup of chicken broth and a fantastic, fresh-out-of-the-oven popover with strawberry butter. This place deserves five stars just for that. My friend ordered the duck (from the daily specials menu), while I kept it simple with a turkey club. I will say the prices are pretty reasonable, considering you're eating inside Neiman Marcus, and in Merrick Park. My turkey club was $13, and came with homemade potato chips. The four parts of the sandwich surrounded a small mixed greens salad, topped with carrots and almonds and tossed in a poppy seed vinaigrette. The salad was just okay, but the sandwich was delicious. I could only eat half of it, so I got the rest of it to go. And while I didn't try it, I'd venture to say the duck was good, because she cleaned her plate. My friend was in the mood for something sweet, so we decided to split a dessert. We were freezing though (bring a light jacket if you're going to sit inside), so we asked if we could have dessert outside. Our waiter was very accommodating and moved us out on the patio. Having received the infamous Neiman Marcus cookie recipe chain letter quite a while back, I figured they must be pretty good, so we gave them a try. They are QUITE good. I don't want to know the calorie content, but they are delicious. They bring you about 10 of them, so we definitely couldn't eat all of them... they too went in the to go bag. I definitely couldn't afford to come here often, but it was a nice, relaxing lunch and I hope I get the chance to come back sometime :) read more

Located in the third floor of Neiman Marcus store in the Village of Merrick park, this restaurant espouses the basic staple of a good dining episode. It's a good place to take the half time break while shopping in this mall, or simply make the trip just for the food. It is definitely worth it! This corner of the Gables is always a good source of entertainment, some of the people around here are more like rare specimens of some extinct species - anyway - back to the restaurant.

Who knew that there is a gem hidden at the top level of Neiman Marcus? The outdoor terrace overlooking the Spanish tile roofs of Merrick Park makes you feel like you're having lunch in the Mediterranean. Service is great - quick and friendly and the place feels almost tranquil. The menu is simple, with a focus on seafood and healthy dishes. Calory counts are included on the menu. The grilled mahi tacos were delicious and fresh, as was the BBQ shrimp wrap. Since the fare is relatively light, you will have room to try one of their homemade desserts. Our waiter recommended the guava bread pudding which was moist and delicious. Stay away from the coffee , ours was weak and terrible. read more

HORRIBLE!!!! For a restaurant that is in a high end store they should be able to update there voice machine to inform there customers about special events and closing sooner than what it is. I drove 45 minutes to eat here to be greeted by the worst manager with horrible customer service telling me that they were closed do to a special event. I called to ask if they had any Available seating but if an actual human picked up the phone I could have found out that they were closing before leaving my house.

This little cafe/restaurant is inside Neiman Marcus at Village of Merrick Park. It has a really cute outdoor seating area which overlooks the mall. It has a really relaxing atmosphere since it's nice and breezy. Other than the view, I was not impressed. The menu has a nice assortment of items, from sandwiches and soups, to full entrees. The complimentary bread is yummy, and the utensil holder is super cute. I ordered a raspberry tea which tasted like Kool Aid and was 5 dollars, bad choice. Then I ordered the mahi-mahi tacos for about $21, which were decent. The cole slaw inside was tasty and the fish tasted fresh, ordinary. I'm glad I checked out the place but it's definitely not somewhere I would return. read more
