This cafe is located inside of Nordstrom department store. I always order the same meal - cheeseburger cooked medium, with everything except onions...delicious! It tastes as though it was cooked! on the grill my server was great!

Nestled within Nordstrom at the Streets at Southpoint in Durham, Nordstrom Cafe Bistro is a hidden gem for discerning food enthusiasts seeking an unparalleled culinary experience and quiet ambience. From the moment you step into the cafe, the aroma of the organic variety of dishes fills the air, promising a dining adventure unlike any other.At Nordstrom Cafe Bistro, a commitment to quality is evident in every aspect of their cuisine. From the crisp, fresh, locally sourced organic produce to the succulent wild Alaskan salmon, each ingredient is thoughtfully selected to deliver an unforgettable dining experience. As a connoisseur of fine dining, I have found my culinary sanctuary in their Wild Salmon Nicoise.The Wild Salmon Nicoise is a masterpiece of flavors and textures. The salmon, always cooked to absolute perfection, boasts a delicate yet robust taste that is truly unmatched. Paired with an array of fresh, vibrant ingredients, including locally sourced organic produce and savory accompaniments, every bite is a symphony of taste sensations that dance across the palate.But the indulgence doesn't end there. For dessert, I always find myself drawn to the warm embrace of the homemade Royal Cookie. Baked to perfection, each bite is a heavenly blend of rich, chocolatey goodness, with decadent subtle sweetness, and the crunch of macadamia and coconut. It's a dessert experience that leaves me yearning for just one more bite, long after the last crumb has disappeared.Beyond the exquisite cuisine, Nordstrom Cafe Bistro offers a dining atmosphere that is both inviting and elegant. The warm, welcoming ambiance sets the stage for an unforgettable meal, whether you're dining with friends, family, or by yourself.In conclusion, Nordstrom Cafe Bistro is a culinary haven where passion meets perfection. With their commitment to organic, locally sourced ingredients and dishes that tantalize the taste buds, it's no wonder why it has become my go-to destination for exceptional dining. Whether you're a seasoned food enthusiast or simply looking for a memorable meal, Nordstrom Cafe Bistro is sure to exceed your expectations time and time again.Among the exceptional waitstaff, I highly recommend Hai for an unparalleled dining experience. His genuine kindness shines through as he not only provides impeccable service but also offers insightful recommendations and goes above and beyond to ensure your satisfaction. Having Hai as your server is sure to elevate your dining experience to a whole new level of excellence.

I love the food it is excellent but it takes forever to get a seat because the service at the register is slow and getting your food out is even slower? If I chose to eat here it has be when I have about 3hours to spare. So going on my lunch break is not an option and that is disappointing.

I’ve been going to Nordstrom since I was 8, to eat at their bistro. I went back after a couple years and OMG, the food is so bad. They changed the bread because it wasn’t as healthy before! Now it’s cold and limp and ruins the sandwhich. The Niçoise salad, is even worse. The Salmon is super pink and hard. It used to fall apart in the salad. Really disappointed with the quality for the amount they charge. Plus a $15 for a 6oz of wine? C’mon! Lastly, the person who rings up customers, is sooooooo slow. Idk how she keeps a job. She consistently gets my order wrong, and claims she doesn’t know the system.

We have been to Cafe Bistro at Nordstrom many times and every experience has been great. The food is wonderful and the service has been excellent. My daughter is obsessed with the chicken tacos. I have had several salads and pasta and all were delicious.

Not the service I thought it was. Dined here on 12/30/2023 and my partner and I had food poisoning the following morning aka NEW YEARS EVE. With intense stomach aches, vomiting and diarrhea I was SICK and I lost out on all my new years plans. I reached out to the restaurant first to notify them and request a simple refund. No response. Reached out to corporate, still no response. I always thought Nordstrom had outstanding customer service, not anymore. I just hope this review gets read and all food/cross contamination guidelines are being followed going forward. Very disappointed in this location and how it's being managed.

“Where am I right now? This is what I said as I was approaching exhaustion and famine whilst shopping with my better half. We must have walked 1000 miles, second-hand whiffed 200 perfumes, statically charged 2-dozen puffy jackets and my unintended fast was at last consuming me and there it was…Bistro.The food and atmosphere were fantastic, the staff were attentive and responsive and the location of this place; off to the side of Nordstrom is genius. Quality clothing in proximity with high quality good food is a great match. So I did not succumb to my condition, I ate, I drank and I was merry. Check it out.

My family goes here every year before Christmas, and I look forward to it all year. Get the portabello ravioli and the bread pudding — they are delicious!We love that it is quiet — no loud music or huge crowds. It’s calm, and the food is delicious, and everyone who works there is very attentive and friendly. I cannot recommend it enough.
