| - The NM cafe is gorgeous. The atmosphere is stunning. The receptionist is always polite and professional. However, the food has been getting worse and worse and today was the last straw, I have decided not to eat here anymore. I work in the mall so I have gotten a take out lunch from this cafe many times. It is close to my store and convenient for me.
I usually get a salad but the last few times I've gotten the classic cobb its been overloaded with blue cheese ( to the point where I've had to start picking the many bigger chunks out). And while I'm mentioning big chunks, everything in the salad is too large. Big chunks of chicken you could choke on, whole lettuce leaves, big slices of avocado, etc).I usually spend 10 minutes chopping the salad up into edible pieces before I start eating.
So, remembering I've had some not great salads recently from them, I thought, " today, let me get something different" . I ordered the Helen Corbitt's classic chicken salad sandwich which was supposed to come with fruit and chips. When I got back to my store after picking it up there was no fruit, no chips, only a wilted dry used looking pickle. ( I actually wondered if this pickle was a reject from someone else's plate) The chicken salad itself was SO beyond salty, it was inedible. I had to throw it out. $9 in the garbage. I called them to complain but of course the answering machine was on and no one called me back even though I did leave a detailed a message.
The chef needs to stop with the salt immediately. HE also needs to think about presentation and sticking to the menu. What a disappointment my lunch was and the worst part is - I'm still hungry ! In future I will take my money to the Dining District in the mall..
