Café Bistro is nothing short of perfection! I used to frequent a Bistro in Texas before they rebranded and switched management, and unfortunately, it went downhill from there. But this place feels like stepping into a time machine--bringing back everything I loved about the original experience before it got ruined. The food, the service, and the atmosphere here are exactly what a bistro should be. Everything was spot-on, from the fresh ingredients to the perfectly crafted dishes. It's like finding that old favorite spot again, and I couldn't be happier. Five stars for truly keeping the magic alive!

They completely burnt the grilled cheese

It was an amazing afternoon of shopping and then lunch at the Cafe Bistro. I ordered the new item on the menu, which was the short rib grill cheese with fruit. It came with a dipping sause, and it was delicious and not salty at all!! Great food, with kind customer service!! This is why my friend and I love the Nordstrom cafes. My friends' goose goose and fish dish looked awesome. Smelled great, and she said it tasted perfect, too. We look forward to having our new usual lunch dishes 😋

Salmon didn’t have no taste at all.

It really pains me to say (this is literally the first non-rave review I've ever given), but the Cafe has really fallen off in terms of quality. We used to come every Friday evening as a family. The food was excellent, the service was outstanding, the atmosphere was superb, and the price was great given those facts. But now, the menu has changed, the food is just OK, the portions are reduced but the price is twice as high, furniture is worn and torn, the service is seriously deficient, largely because they don't even try, or even care to try, it seems. Management is visible but completely aloof from customers and don't even try to help ensure appropriate service. We kept coming back occasionally hoping we were wrong, but I think we've dined here for the last time. And we're really bummed about it. A tragedy that did not have to be.

I had an excellent dining experience at the Cafe Bistro in Nordstrom. The pizza and salad were absolutely delicious, and the waiter was both friendly and professional. It was a delightful meal that exceeded my expectations!

My daughter and I stopped by The Spectrum location on Saturday after a training she gave at Kaiser. After perusing our favorite stores Anthropologie and Nordy, we walked up and down the strip for lunch. After finding out the offerings and wait time at another restaurant we decide to go to Nordy’s cafe, at this location called Cafe Bistro. No outdoor seating is attached to the main cafe but they have come up with utilizing the seating outside their main entrance. It’s was a little awkward at first as the sitting area was initially not manned but our attendant Florentino Jimenez did arrive as expected. Aside from people randomly sitting at chairs and not ordering, we felt just like it was just like the meal and service we normally would get at our many visits to the various Nordstrom cafes. We ordered the Cafe Bistro Burger and the Cilantro Lime Shrimp Salad (both to share) and a soft drink and ice tea. After the meal received a card from Florentine thanking us and inviting us back. Great food and excellent service under difficult circumstances.

I'm puzzled why the Nordrom Cafe Bistro doesn't have any review yet. I did have to work to finally locate it in tripadvisor, so I'm guessing it might be how it's sourced in the app. We were lucky and didn't have to wait to order and take a table. Florentino did a great job both taking our order and serving us. He made sure our drinks were not allowed to get empty and to bring a plate of extra crostini. It was just what we were looking for: a small bite, great food, and excellent service.

Best place, I have ever ate. All the line cooks seem very professional, and know what there doing! Wait time excellent, as well as there prices compared to the rest of the restaurants at the Irvine spectrum center. 5 stars on the STEAK
