My dinner in Popover Cafe was a incredible experience. Well... Yesterday I ate at Popover Cafe in New York City. What a stress-free and joyful mealWait staff in that restaurant was really great! The food was exceptional. Even though no serious issues. Outstanding food! We all had a terrific night! So refreshing with there being so many New York restaurants that are terrible. We will certainly be back soon.
