    Everything about a NM cafe is great. Our server was wonderful and our entrees were outstanding. Only 4 stars on food as the popovers were off. Seemed small and dense and chewy. A little disappointed since it was my husband first time and I have raved about the popover for years!

    Always a pleasant lunch and the sampler is a tasty value. Love the complimentary bread and strawberry butter served at the beginning. My only critique is that the cup of beef broth was a little too salty on the day that we dined.

    Burger was not fresh, it’s a frozen type. The carpets haven’t been washed in a very long time. Houseflies were all around.
