Lunch soup and salad was excellent. The chicken pot pie was inventive and absolutely delicious.

We have relocated from Colorado to Minnesota. We really enjoyed Nordstrom's restaurant at the Park Meadow Mall in Lone Tree. My daughter and I decided to try the restaurant at the Ridgedale Nordstrom's. Our server was polite, but inattentive. Aside from taking our food order, she never came back to the table to check in with us. My daughters soda lacked syrup. Like the machine needed a new syrup bottle, which we would have told the server if she had come by. The food was delivered by people running the food. Our calamari was well prepared, but I would have asked for more aioli, if someone had asked. No server. No one to ask. I ordered the chef's special (chicken tacos). The whole dish looked like they were trying to use up things in the kitchen. The guacamole was brown. It was edible, just not fresh looking. The salsa was weird. I was really surprised. In Colorado, everything was fresh and service was spot on. We will probably try this restaurant again, since any place can have a bad day. However, I think if we are underwhelmed again (especially given prices), we may rethink it being a go-to place.

Lovely meal, I had the salmon Nicoise with dressing on the side. French fries were crisp but a bit salty. Service was timely and attentive. Prices are high. But the menu choices look fabulous and we will definitely be back.

I ordered a pizza which was tastless, a little burnt and had something weird on the crust. It seemed like and tasted like mold. I ordered a hamburger to go for my husband and it was very raw inside. The waitress was not friendly and appeared as if she didn't want to be there. I will not be returning.

This is one of our favorite date nights because the food and ambience are great, prices aren’t ridiculous, and most people seem to not know about it! Pro tip: ask for some honey to drizzle on top of your chicken parm and arugula. Date night bonus: the restaurant is located right next to the lingerie department, so there’s that…

Nice atmosphere. Lobster bisque, using new recipe, was more like lousy tomato soup. Definitely would not recommend. Dinner salad was basically lettuce with 2 tiny tomatoes. Margherita pizza was undercooked and uninteresting. Caesar salad was good as was shrimp salad and burger.

Food and service were excellent. I would add, though, the wine was ridiculously priced. A 6 ounce pour of Cabernet Sauvignon for $18??

I really enjoyed coming to this restaurant. It’s a hidden gem inside the Ridgedale Mall. My favorite drink is the golden hour with vodka. My daughter likes the golden hour without any alcohol. Either way it tastes wonderful. She enjoys the appetizer of chicken tacos. I like the Turkey bacon, avocado sandwich. I love the fries as well. They are well seasoned and perfectly crispy. I also really like the olive aïoli. Truly one of a kind. I have not had anything like it anywhere else and it is absolutely delicious. The service has always been great except for this time that I came. I had asked for no tomato which isn’t that big of a deal. I can always just pick it off and it came with the tomato. I also asked for extra olive aïoli somehow I got a side of mayonnaise. It wasn’t really all that busy either, and I couldn’t find the server to be able to get me my extra aïoli sauce. I also had to ask the server if I could, please have water after the food was served because I was never offered any to begin with.

I am very disappointed with my visit to the restaurant today. The service was OK, the food was at the fast food level. The serving of the dish is disgusting. Overcooked squid and calamari , burnt bread.

The food isn’t good, I had fries mixed in with a Brussels sprouts order and got the wrong side I ordered online. Also realized that I got charged for a 4$ bottle of water I would get on the airplane for free. Not worth the hype, Nordstrom store is good in general for shopping though. Skip this place

The service was very good! The vibes in there were really good! Some parts of the foods were salty but otherwise it was really good! My girlfriend really liked her pasta, overall a really good experience.

I really like this place. Food and service is always good. It's a bit of an oasis that no one seems to know about.

The food was good. We had pasta dishes. We made a 6 o'clock reservation. There were 3 other families inside. Our waitress was completely clueless. Took forever to get drinks, took even longer to take our order. Every table received bread, we did not. The food took quite some time to be prepared and came out at room temp. We've been several times before and this was the first time we would question if we should come back.
