*** This review is for the Restaurant Week 2023 Menu ***
What a hidden gem! I had read reviews from friends years ago, and I thought I had to give the NM Café a try. What better time than Restaurant Week Las Vegas.
The starter is set, the main course has options, and dessert is set. I sat at the counter rather than take up table space. I had a good view out the windows toward the walkway over the Strip to Wynn.
The bar keep, my server, was Jennifer, and she was a delight. When I sat down, the menus and my napkin were already set out. For the main course, I chose what their menu describes as their best selling dish for over 60 years--the Mandarin orange soufflé.
The starter was a popover served with strawberry butter and chicken broth. The chicken broth was in a small demitasse (I know that sounds redundant, but the cup was smaller than a normal demitasse). Along with the popover, it was a very good start. The Mandarin orange soufflé is not your typical soufflé. Rather, it's a gelatin with Mandarin oranges in it. Along with the soufflé, you get a generous portion of chicken salad with slivered almonds, strawberry and apple slices and their bread of the day which was a little muffin. Dessert is the NM chocolate chip cookie for which they'll share the recipe if you ask. It's a large cookie. I was asked if I wanted it to go or did I want to eat it there. I ate it there. The cookie is served warm.
Service was great! Jennifer was very accomdating and asked if I wanted an iced tea to go. The whole experience was perfect. A good view, good food, great service, and easy underground parking. What could be better.
I'll go back when it's not Restaurant Week and enjoy something from the regular menu. The counter seating is very comfortable if you're dining *** This review is for the Restaurant Week 2023 Menu ***solo.
