discontinued the bread đ„
I ordered the Chicken and goat cheese panini and found it delicious! The balsamic vinegar was a touch overwhelming but overall a delicious meal. Little more expensive than I would've liked but worth it!
Fries and dip

Always loved this place. 19 for just a turkey sandwich. I didn't want fries. Got charged anyway and didn't know charge to sub soup. Disappointed now and won't be back.
Ordered a French dip at 5:30pm CT and Alfredo pasta to go. No au jus with the French dip and the pasta was hard and looked like it had been sitting out since 11am. My craving for a French dip was not satisfied when I am dipping it into warm milk.

I hate when places donât have available whatâs on their menu after going to all the trouble to come there
I havenât been here in a while and it was nice to go back. The food was phenomenal. Itâs not cheap, but youâre not going to the bistro in Nordstrom for a âgood dealâ anyway, right?I got a cup of their legendary bisque and it was so delicious while not being overly creamy and rich (in my opinion.) I also got the lump crab, avocado and mango salad and every single ingredient was fresh and tasty and the dressing was just a perfect accompaniment- not overbearing. Their hot tea selection was also great- had a jasmine green that was lovely.Hereâs the unexpected part: I sad at the bar so in full view of the kitchen and the back and forth between the manager/expeditor, servers and chef/cooks. I spent several years working in restaurants and I was just floored with how incredible this crew was! Everyone was calm and respectful to each other (tough to do during a rush) while also communicating and moving everything through with a sense of urgency. The clear focus on providing a great experience was evident. Super impressive!This gets me to my next point and frankly my only âcomplaintâ about my visit: the setup where you pay (and presumably tip) in advance is clunky and Iâm certain leads to fewer tips than this crew clearly deserves. Asking customers (not at the bar) to tip in advance of any service received is a recipe for receiving no tip or a very small one. So few people have cash on hand to tip after the meal so, at the very least, there should be a second opportunity to tip on a card. The pay up front model fits with a cafeteria or buffet- not a high end bistro with excellent service- just my two cents.
