    Lunch but upgraded. Mariposa is located on the 2nd floor in Neiman Marcus. Sometimes I just need an upscale lunch with champagne. The restaurant has an elegant ambiance, chic decor of silver and white and very attentive service. Always start with the signature popover served with strawberry butter and they keep these popovers coming. Then, I had the crab cake sandwich no bun. This spot has one of my favorite crab cakes in St. Louis. Ace got the salmon which he said was crispy on the outside and perfectly cooked on the inside. Dessert at Mariposa should not be missed. The lemon cake is a highlight. See the fork duel? I won! Mariposa also has a fantastic patio!

    A warm popover with strawberry butter and a demitasse of chicken broth. How's that to get started? This restaurant is classic NM chic. Butterflies cascading from the ceiling. Attentive service. Luxe vibes. I chose an NM stalwart. Chicken salad with the orange soufflé. It pairs with sweetbread of the day. Which, luckily for me, was a blueberry muffin on this day. Oh how I love a perfect blueberry muffin. This menu item has been a part of NM dining from the start for good reason. Loved the whole experience. Only negative was the renovations going on in the store. The restaurant location is not well marked at the moment and quite hidden. But be sure to seek it out.

    Brought mom here for a Ladies that Lunch Mother's Day gift! Such a gorgeous set up, white linens and all! Simple menu. We had the crab cake sandwich and French dip. And...let's not forgot the popovers! Served seemed a bit distracted and only at the end of the meal did there seem to be some attention paid to us but the hostess who sat us couldn't have been nicer! I ordered a Rose Aperol spritz, didn't taste rose in it. We greatly enjoyed our mother daughter time here!

    Came here with my girlfriends for an early lunch before shopping! I ordered the chicken salad which was so tasty. It is such a beautifully decorated place that looks quite fancy but the prices are good and the food is so delicious. Service was friendly and prompt!

    I was visiting St. Louis for the holidays and went here for lunch with family. I wanted to like this place so badly- it was okay. Highly recommend reservations as they are only open Mon-Sat 11am-3pm. I do think we visited on a super busy day, however they seemed very understaffed. We waited forever for the host to seat us and then forever for our waitress to even get our drinks. The service was really really slow like to the point that our waitress was complaining how slow the kitchen was. A few of our meals were done before others so they sat there. This is why I think in prior reviews people complain the food is cold. They don't time the full tables meals well. They start the table off with strawberry butter and a popover. Really unique. After that they bring out a chicken bone broth in a little mug. I got a chicken caesar salad, which was just really average. Table got the ginger chicken salad, citrus salad with salmon and the salmon tacos. My favorite out of that was the ginger chicken salad. It had the most flavor. I would come back to try it again, however with all the great restaurants in St. Louis if they stepped it up it could be way better. Overall experience 2/5.

    Mariposa is an upscale lunch establishment nestled in the upper back of Neiman Marcus with both an entrance from outside (back of building) and inside from the second floor. The menu is limited with mostly salads, a few burgers and sandwiches. The prices match the store - $8 or so to add chicken to your salad. The salads didn't seem all that innovative to me, pretty standard fare. The chopped salad was ok but I was not a fan of cauliflower added to it and thought it lacked enough dressing. The chicken, however, was quite delicious. It took a while to get service, both at the hostess stand and at the table. I believe they were quite understaffed. But the restaurant feels vintage and upscale, and I like the vibe. It feels like old school department store shopping. I think they are about to undergo a renovation so watch this space! Solid choice for lunch in the area as there aren't many options.

    The service at Mariposa was impeccable. The food was pretty good, too! It's a great place to stop during a day of shopping.

    Popover with Consommé

    After shopping at Nieman Marcus, we decided to have lunch at The Zodiac, their in-store restaurant. It is located on the second floor in the southwest rear corner of the store. After being seated, we received a demitasse of warm consommé, a bread pastry and whipped strawberry butter. The floor coverings were a bright gray carpet under the tables, but in the high-traffic areas, they were extremely soiled. This gave us a very poor impression of what might be served from the kitchen. When the brunch entree arrived, the potatoes on both plates were cold. When brought to the attention of David, he grudging arranged to have fresh potatoes cooked for us. The Crab Cakes Benedict were poached eggs & crab cakes perched over a circular piece of bread. We both enjoyed them. After dining, a few chocolate mint sticks we're tossed onto the table by David. Gary, an attendant, was friendly, cordial & very efficient. In our opinion, Gary is an asset to The Zodiac.

    Mariposa easily accommodated our brunch group reservation today. It's tucked away in Neiman Marcus on the second floor. Buffy was our waitress and did a great job. The burger was yummy and the sunset drink was especially refreshing.

    Delightful lunch with impeccable service. Atmosphere was charming. The chef seated me and informed me of the updated menu. Very friendly staff. Food was good. Shout out to the 1970's orange (soufflé') jello mold!! Loved the chicken broth/popover with strawberry butter which preceded my meal.

    Good food, great popovers, but the service varies between adequate and horrid. Otherwise a good girly lunch.

    Quick service, great staff and delicious food…read more I was craving a sandwich, so i stopped by here heading back to the office. The menu is plentiful and has so many different sandwich, and salad options to choose from. I was contemplating between the chicken bacon ranch wrap and the Cubano. I opted to get the cubano. My sandwich came with slow roasted pork, ham,Swiss cheese, deli mustard and pickles. I got mine on white bread. They put the sandwich in the oven to warm it up and melt the cheese, then gets dressed in what ever toppings you want. I chose to keep mine as is. The pork needs a little more seasoning, but over all, it was delicious. The meat was very tender, bread was so fluffy and soft. The deli mustard was not too tangy. I also grabbed a lemon cheesecake cookie. It was soft, chewy and had cheesecake pieces incorporated into it. I would definitely get that again. Plenty of seating inside and seating on the patio. It is noisy inside so if you're looking for a quieter place, i would take my food to go. The parking lot can become busy and congested due to it being in a plaza with other businesses. I will be back to try other sandwiches!

    We came here a lunch outing to try the pot pie soup and the eggnog shake. My co-workers were raving…read moreabout how good the pot pie soup is and how you have to try it. Cute sandwich shop with friendly employees who are helpful but could definitely work on......how should we say hygienic cleanliness. Another fast casual establishment where either employees do not use gloves or their gloves are an extension of their hands, meaning they mop and clean up in the gloves, FINE but wash your hands and change your gloves afterwards. Also, take your gloves off if you're handling money and why are you wiping your nose with gloves on. The cup of soup if $5, well over priced for the portion size. The soup itself is hearty and the big draw is that the soup has pot pie crust sprinkled on top. It's more of a deconstructed pot pie that you eat like a soup then being a soup. The eggnog shake was $5.59 which was priced correctly for the cup size. The shake had a slight eggnog flavor but not that power packed punch that I was expecting. They use real milk in their shakes and I the quality of the ice-cream. I would recommend trying one of their shakes. My co-worker ordered both the eggnog shake and went back before we left to order the banana pudding shake which he stated tasted exactly like pudding and enjoyed that shake over the eggnog. I have tried a few of their sandwiches since our office has used them to cater lunch several times. The sandwiches are literally just ok, more miss than hit. The wreck I find is the most flavorful and the chicken bacon ranch is over-rated. I would not go out of my way to purchase a sandwich from here and spend my own money, they are far better sandwich shops to chose from. The only item that I absolutely LOVE from here is the jar of Hot Peppers. Now their jar of giardiniera is the BEST!!! It's a mixture of jalapeños, carrots, cauliflower, peppers and celery. It's spicy and super flavorful, goes GREAT on anything to add a kick, especially pizza and of course sandwiches.

    Oops! They did it again! We came here for dinner and it was outstanding once again! Clam chowder…read moresoup- amazing as always, cheese bread- was kid's favorite today, toasted ravs- always delicious, chicken parm sandwich- always a solid choice, the Italian press Tuesday special- husband tried for the first time and found it to be very good! Also, as always staff were friendly and bathrooms were clean. We can't stop coming here! Our twins have named Grassis to be our family's favorite place to eat!

    This was our first visit there. We were looking for something reasonably priced and landed here…read more It's cafeteria style also.as soon as you walk in you grab a tray, you're served a salad and then you place your order and pay. Everything is ready quickly. I got the meatball sub and a side of pasta shells with Alfredo sauce. The portion of the sandwhiches are descent but seem to be more bread than meat. The meatball sub had an interesting texture almost like vegan meat and not a ground beef blend. It tasted ok but I wouldn't get it again. The red sauce was delicious, some of the better restaurant red sauce I've had. The portion of the side pasta was very generous and under $5. I didn't care for the Alfredo sauce. I love pepper but it was peppery and not much else for the flavor. I fixed in some of the red sauce to.make it taste a bit better. My bf got the chicken Parm.which I would've got but for the iffy reviews. I actually thought it was good from the small taste I had and if returned, I would get that. I did feel the potion was a bit small. The salad was good and the you can select your drink via fountain. The staff was nice and the restroom was clean. It seems like a nice place to have a small reception as well as the ambience is slightly dim and they have a private area.
