Perfect place for a ladies lunch! The popovers with strawberry butter are heavenly, and even though there's usually a wait for walk-ins, you can do a little shopping while you wait :)

Simply the best. Everything is prepared to perfection. The popovers are to die for. My lobster salad was the best. Great service, beautiful ambience. Nice wine, champagne and cocktail selection.

For a chic stop on, take the Neiman Marcus elevator to the 4th floor & dine at The Rotunda. The lunch menu is varied & travelers can revel in a quiet respite just off Union Square. Read more

Four words: popovers with strawberry butter—and they come with every meal. It’s definitely a “ladies who lunch” kind of scene, but isn’t that fun once in a while? Read more

Feeling like your a million bucks! Very upscale and occasionally you will see some agency models parading around while you are having lunch.

Beautiful view of Union Square and the throngs of people that move around day in and day out. It's steep for what it offers, but the atmosphere is excellent. Go for afternoon tea.

The cute cup of consume and cheese cracker you get when you sit down are delightful. The popover is always hot and fresh! Enjoy!

The traditional chicken broth and fantabulous popovers are worth making the trip. Make the lobster bisque a staple. Unfortunately, for me, the fun ended with the appetizers. Ive had better pricewise.

Popovers with strawberry butter are the thing. Apparently high tea is wonderful here

Delicious cheese plate app. Tasty Ahi Tuna app as well! And of course, the bread and butter are unusually good.
