This is a lovely spot for lunch or brunch. My third visit, with a friend who had never been before. He had a salad with crispy chicken, and I had the mushroom ravioli and a side salad, everything was really great. Our server was not super attentive, but the place seemed busy when we were there. It was easy to have a conversation, and we enjoyed the light bright atmosphere.Parking: It's in a Nordstrom in a shopping mall, so there's plenty of parking for the mall.Kid-friendliness: It's more of a grownup lunch place. I would imagine kids would enjoy something different.

My wife and I are regulars. We love the food, ease and ambiance of this restaurant, despite it being a part of Nordstroms department store. But the restaurant suffered from COVID and has still has not recovered. The main symptom is service. Despite offering competitive wages and benefits, staff turnover has been high except for a few veterans. The service experience is a gamble if you're not served by said veterans. Service is slow and inattentive. Service is lacking. Normal offerings aren't offered - e.g., regular bread service at the beginning of the meal. And normal courtesies aren't extended - e.g., serving the salad before serving the main entree, if both are ordered - both are served at the same time - like a fast food operation. Apparently the new staff isn't trained appropriately for this particular restaurant environment. So while we still love the food, we're now going to request seating with only the veteran serving staff. Otherwise dining here turns into an ordeal.

Not happy with the food. Ordered a green goddess salad all they did was throw in a bag of spinach and cold chewy chicken and called it a

Food not as good as usual even though we were there right when it opened. Waitress not friendly which seems to be the theme here if not all glammed up to appear big tipper. This is a mall so personally I dress for comfort and comfort walking shoes. I tend to over look the attitude because usually the food is spot on but since it wasn't this time it wasn't a very pleasurable experience.

Four ladies lunching. Delicious martinis & margaritas Heirloom tomatoes & burata appetizer- top notch Wild salmon Niçoise salads- best in twin cities Roma tomatoe soup scarfed down with glee. Cilantro lime chicken tacos very yummy in the tummy. Sour dough warm buns and butter scrumptious and just the right portion. Thank you for a lovely time. Service spot on. We will be back !
Good. We are very much regulars at this restaurant. There is a fair amount of staff turnover going on. Our server was very new and so service was not great. Mostly little things, but they added up.

Wow, this is a cool looking restaurant. It's in Nordstroms with huge windows and a nice open floor plan. The service was fast and the servers seemed to help each other out which speaks to a positive atmosphere.The prices are somewhat high and maybe justified for the service, but not the food. My turkey sandwich hardly had any filling and the bread was more dry than toasted. My wife's salmon was good but was on a base of something tasteless. The pizza was very good and the least expensive thing on the menu. Come for the service and ambience, but order the pizza.

My guest enjoyed her Margherita Pizza & Chardonnay & I thought my Pasta Bolognese with Meatballs was very delicious. Our server was very efficient, promptly bringing warm rolls when requested. I didn't love the overview of the parking lot, but at least we could see outside.
They have a wide variety of dishes from salads to burgers (meat & veggie) to pasta entrees, pizza, and good soup. The service is excellent and the large windows provide a great view. The staff is very polite & helpful. Noise level is low and they have a TV for major sports events.

The waitress waiting on us was incredibly rude with a major attitude problem. So much sass in her voice. No warmth whatsoever. The food is mediocre, nothing special. The hostess was great. Don’t work in the service industry if you don’t like working with people. We didn’t ask for much and even tipped the lady 20% despite her lack of kindness.

Great food and service. We were there for Mothers Day and it was wonderful. Terrific food! Cant wait to go back.
Loved the blackened fish tacos!.... But more importantly, I was there and witnessed how Jerry, (that oaf of an entitled Karen) demanded to be seated in front of 8 other people and when Pam politely and professionally declined, he lost his temper and threatened her with a bad review. Pay attention Jerry, a reservation gives you a seat in the restaurant, not the right to go to the head of a line and bully the people who work so hard to be pleasant to twits like you. She didn't say a single bad or cross word in the face of all your crap. Do us all a favor and stay home Jerry, we will all be happier without you.

I had the blacked pollack special on potato chowder. Very good flavors and feast toppings like celery leaves and dill. The cheesy bread side was laying in the chowder and soak up a lot of the moisture, thus it was very soggy and not crisp.
Was a nice place, but closed early at 5pm.
