Cafe Bistro

You order first and then sit down. Then, they serve you. Great concept.

It's not terrible. It's just not a four star place to eat. I did really enjoy the beef barley soup. Get something that you can dip into their kalamata aioli. It's delish. It's inside Nordstrom's so of course it's pricy. You stand in line to order and they serve you. The place is clean and for the lunch hour, completely flooded with natural light from their giant windows. I'd eat there again if someone wanted me to. Service was 5 star.

A little different from the other Nordstrom restaurants that I've been to in that you order / pay first and then are seated. Food was very good if a little pricey (~$15-$17 for pizza/sandwiches /salads with entrees above $20). The French Onion Soup is too die for and is a must get for me every time I visit. Decor is modern and roomy, and service was excellent.

The food was outstanding. The servers super friendly! Portion size is fantastic also. My big issue with this place is the upfront payment, difficulty in splitting up checks if you add something else to your order, and the difficulty in providing a tip to the server if you do not have cash. Why not just have a normal server service? I still give it 3 stars for the food being exceptional.
