Took my family of 4 here for an early NYE dinner. Food was great - fresh veggies, quality proteins, and clever flavor pairings (pear honey, yum!). Very approachable menu for 2 adults and 2 pre-teens.
The desserts were the pinnacle of our meal. I’m still salivating about their (signature) lemon ricotta cookies, and we all went gaga for their warm chocolate chunk cookies.
Beautiful windows - wish they had a downtown view - but don’t let that dissuade you. We’ll be back for brunch.

We got here only five minutes before they closed. They were very accommodating and welcoming. I’ll say this is excellent service.
We ordered the butternut soup to start. Then, crispy chicken sandwich and the French dip sandwich. Both were delicious! We loved the fact that they came with yummy side salad.
We will be back!

I really dislike leaving a place with a bad vibe. I understand that there are many people's jobs at stake, and I want to be fair, especially since we visited during the holidays. That said, the place was pretty empty, and we had just enjoyed a lovely holiday afternoon of shopping with our twin girls. We thought it’d be a nice treat to have lunch and a cocktail at the Nordstrom grill.
Honestly, I should’ve seen the signs—they hardly had anyone there, decorations were minimal and jankey, and the decor itself was pretty basic and dated. We figured, hey, it’s Nordstrom, it’s the holidays—surely it’ll be a good time. But it took almost 30 minutes to get our drinks. We finally waved down the manager, who kindly said she’d help, and our drinks arrived about half an hour later. We were tired and a bit hungry, but we appreciated her help, and she even offered to comp our drinks and desserts.
Fast forward an hour and a half, and we realize they only had one dessert left. The food was okay, the drinks were fine, but after two hours, all I wanted was to go home. We waited for that brownie dessert, the only one they had left, and knowing we had limited time to get to a holiday party, I told my husband to just settle the bill so we could leave. He did, but we still kept waiting for the dessert to go. When it finally arrived, we asked if we could take it to-go—as we’d originally requested. Of course, we waited some more.
Finally, I went to the restroom, and on my way back, I saw the manager, who didn’t even look at me. Our waitress returned half an hour after we’d ordered, apologized for the service delay, and explained she’d gone on break. #?
After such a lovely day shopping at Nordstrom, it all ended in frustration, exhaustion, and disappointment. With so many options at the Mall of America, Nordstrom should definitely rethink this offering. If they do decide to do holiday, they should make sure the grill matches the festive spirit of the mall, the store and the season—with great service, beautiful decorations, and music that makes guests feel welcomed, happy, and joyful after a busy day.
I’d advise others to absolutely skip this place. There are plenty of wonderful options outside in the mall—don’t waste your time and money here, especially since it was costly and, frankly, horribly disappointing. Very off brand for Nordstrom, I’d say.

We had a reservation and yet waited 20 minutes to get seated. Then waited 60 minutes to get our food despite the restaurant not being full. I know it’s more busy than usual due to Black Friday but that should not be a surprise.

This place is a quiet place to have a nice lunch at the mall. I ordered the salmon salad and I've been trying to replicate it at home because it was so good. The service was excellent. Our server was so funny and nice. The only issue that I had was the place seems a little in need of a makeover. My friend had a crab dish with a lemon ricotta cookie and everything looked really tasty.

I got the chicken tenders, fires and the water is great
We had our rehearsal dinner at the Nordstrom Grill in MOA, and it was such an unexpected surprise! We were having a really hard time finding a place to fit our group and provide some privacy, and the manager/chef here were so accommodating and made the night completely perfect! The food was delicious, reasonably priced, and the perfect way for our guests to also enjoy the fun of the mall.

My mom and I had to seat ourselves, secondly the food took forever because our waitress decided to talk to other employees and 3rd there menu has gone downhill. I loved there menu before more options and now they've raised the prices real high. I wasn't impressed and neither was my mom. We thought we would give this restaurant one more try and it was a huge letdown. So we'll go to IKEA next time to eat then shop at Nordstroms. This restaurant has gone downhill. I wouldn't eat here. Not enough staff. I saw many people come but left because noone was there to greet them. Not good! And it took forever for other people's food as well.
TL;DR - SAVE ROOM FOR DESSERT!
