The burger was seasoned well. The seasonal cocktail was refreshing. Service was great. Parking: The lots closest to Neiman Marcus always have plenty of open spots.

Mariposa is a wonderful restaurant at the top of Neiman Marcus. It gets pretty packed so a reservation is recommended but not required. You start every meal with a small glass of complementary chicken broth and popover pastry with strawberry butter. It is one of the most incredible starts to a meal and hints at the quality to come. The dishes are delicious and healthy, with the salmon tacos, the tuna tartar, pasta puttanesca, and the seafood tower being clear standouts.

Ate a delicious lunch here whilst in town for the weekend. The sashimi was fresh, plentiful and delicious. The sea-bass was cooked to perfection and the Bloody Mary was on point. Service was friendly and fast, even as the restaurant got busier.

The real star of Mariposa is the service, specifically our server Richard. More on that below. Food options and quality were standard for the area, but we were started with complimentary popovers with strawberry butter and consommé which impresses from the start. Outdoor seating on the balcony was exactly what we were looking for, understated, quiet and away from the hustle and bustle of Fashion Island. Our server Richard was a rare gem. He is clearly an actual professional server who understood the perfect balance of helpfulness and ability to give diners space. He was able to anticipate our needs and made our dining experience exactly what we wanted it to be. We had a party of just two, an adult and child, we were not wearing flashy designer clothing and had a modest meal, yet Richard chose to provide us with service I would hope to get (but sadly am not guaranteed) while spending quite a bit more at finer restaurants. This kind of service just isn’t standard anymore and when it is provided it is worth calling out. I would definitely come back here for Richard’s service alone. One minor gripe, the interior is undergoing some construction so there are very large screens to hide the dust. The result is an atmosphere that is less than elegant if you’re trying to impress your dining partner. Easy solution, eat outside which was our intention anyway. Vegetarian options: A lovely grain bowl was offered with optional protein add-ons. Simple, but fresh and delicious. Kid-friendliness: Excellent service is the key-point here but they do have a kids menu and coloring sheets. My eight-year-old ordered off the adult menu and they accommodated her preferences.
