Great lunch spot! Met a friend, had the oriental salad after they were out of the spinach dip. Salad was fresh, mixed greens. Server was fantastic, attentive and polite. It is a fast service so atmosphere is fast casual.

Having visited Nordstrom’s Marketplace Café multiple times over the years here at the Nordstrom Scottsdale Fashion Square and many, many times at their East Coast locations, I have never been dismayed at the quality, value, service and tastes offered. Especially at our last visit which included savoring one of my fave sammiches of all time – the French Dip (a close second to an Original Cuban Sammich). That’s not to say, everything else we’ve tried at this location was either excellent, or really darn close to it. The dishes served at Nordstrom’s Café may be considered by many as an afterthought to accommodate store customers, but in reality their food is more than above average. In many ways comparable, if not even better, than restaurants that either specialize in, or offer such similar delectables. Take for instance their Clam Chowder, or their Tomato Basil Soup… both of which are better than, or maybe even surpassing the taste and quality of many a restaurant in the Valley. Ordering any of these two soups you’ll never go wrong. Not only great, but consistently good. I have found very few places locally that can or will do better. When it comes to sandwich quality, ingredients and taste for a moderate or light lunch while at the store or mall, they more than outperform many of the shopping center’s eat shops! Their Roasted Turkey & Avocado Club with excellent, juicy and tasty slices of turkey, perfectly crisped bacon, fresh lettuce and tomato, along with a peppercorn aioli put into their country bread is well above average – or just plain great. As I mentioned earlier as one of my fave sandwiches, their rendition of the French Dip with their tender and tasty medium rare Angus beef, a tangy moderately sharp white cheddar cheese, and a parmesan coated French baguette and some fab Ojus is terrific. Everything we’ve had there has been very, very good to exceptional. The offerings are well worth a stop. Our experiences with the likes of Artichoke & Spinach Dip, Spicy Shrimp Pomodoro and more are equally delectable. And the prices are actually moderate in comparison to anywhere in the mall. Lunch at the café is a terrific value with moderate prices. And the service is impeccable… as good if not better than many upscale restos nearby – kudos to the staff. That’s why we keep coming back.

The dining experience is something out of the 1990s. This place is in need of a major renovation.
Unlike other Nordstrom restaurants I've been to this is limited service. You order at a counter and they bring the food.
The tables are completely bare of condiments. So if your iced tea is refilled you must get up from your table to get sweetener.
For the price, the food is simply not worth it. I got the mushroom ravioli that was ok but borderline over cooked.
It filled me up but that was it 😕.
NM cafe in Neiman Marcus is superior to this place.

I honestly don’t understand why this place has so many good reviews, I got the eggs benedict, the eggs were boiled and the hollandaise sauce tasted horrible. I was starving but still wasn’t able to have more than a few bites. The food is also very overpriced compared with the extremely low quality they provide. There are so many better options in the area, I will NEVER go back and definitely don’t recommend to anyone!

Excited to share the Nordstrom cafe, one of my favorite places, with my mom and baby. As soon as we sit down we are asked to move to the darkest part of the restaurant away from everything. Like they didn’t want us there. We refused but now the service is uncomfortable and awkward the entire meal. What was once a magical place is now a sad unwelcome memory. Luckily my baby was asleep the entire time in the stroller and won’t remember it - but I will. I will always remember this and how I was treated. And I am confident to say this place is not family friendly - at least in my experience…

Ordered soup and coffee, soup delivered with out bread had to ask twice for original coffee, server never asked how everything was or or asked if we needed anything else. Have dined there many times but will not return. Terrible service and overpriced.

Delicious and delightful. Pistachio and spinach with Lamb. Recommended. The tomato bisk soup was fantastic and I enjoyed it. The bread is toasted to a light crisp. Nice atmosphere with lots of natural light.
I’m from California and had the most delicious late here; the music and the welcoming vibe is

Very short and rude service. There’s no need to sigh or roll your eyes when you’re just ringing someone out. 2nd time here and it’s just not worth it. Food is okay, nothing great for the price and yes there’s an up charge on most items. As someone who works in the mall, i wouldn’t waste my time or money at this cafe again. I would highly recommend training the girls hospitality not just register functions.

The food is SO good & the servers are just wonderfully friendly! I took my grand daughter here twice today. She loves looking out the huge windows & talking to the servers.
Kid-friendliness: Even the manager was SO kind as to come speak with my granddaughter today, as did all the servers. Really great service this afternoon 10- 23-23. Thank you!! The pizza was wonderful!

I’m a self proclaimed foodie. It feels strange to be leaving a review for this place. I’ve been here twice. Both times; the service has been amazing. The servers don’t have the typical role. It’s a cafeteria style, sort of. Order at the counter and the food is brought to you by the servers. All of which have been extremely attentive and kind but not pushy and annoying. The atmosphere is calm and quiet. The interior is a little a dated and seats worn, but they are still plush and comfortable. Almost relaxing compared to the hustle and bustle of the mall. The food is a little pricey but delicious! We have not been disappointed with any of our meals. This is such a nice surprise in the mall, an excellent option if you hate food courts like I do. The only concern is tipping the amazing wait staff… you pay at the counter for the food. There’s an option to leave a tip. I make sure to bring cash and leave directly. This place is great!
