Fast & friendly service and some very nice pasta for lunch... Nicer than I expected from the decor which was a bit old & tired - I probably wouldn't have tried the place, if it weren't for seeing other good reviews! Could stand to turn the AC down a bit

I love this place, the food is extremely safe and tasty, everything is very clean, truly wonderful. The safety and quality of the food is actually much better than most of the "high end" restaurants. I love all the servers, but Dris is exceptional! I go very often, and would recommend to everyone.

I stopped here for an impromptu lunch after some shopping. I’m always wary eating out because I have celiac disease and many restaurants are not conscientious of my allergy. I decided to order the green goddess salad (without the gluten containing ingredients) and they were able to accommodate me. They even double checked to see if the dressing had any gluten containing ingredients. The salad was great, and the service was very friendly! Highly recommended for those with and without dietary restrictions.

Carmen waited on us like a five star restaurant. Great food, very fresh salad. Amazing salmon cooked exactly as requested. Merlot was tasty. Easy location on top floor of the store.

I can’t think of the gentleman’s name (tall and of Arab descent, I believe), at Cafe Nordstrom (Pent C.), but he provided exceptional service. I was a bit taken aback by the menu prices, as I simply wanted a small sandwich. He noticed my reaction to the prices and instead of pushing me away, his service actually became better. I’m BIG on service, so after I ate a small soup, I decided the only right thing to do was provide the gentleman with a handsome tip - 4x the amount of meal. I say this because, good customer service is HARD to find. And he went over and beyond not to judge me based on my reaction to menu prices. Never judge - you don’t know what people have.

10/10My intuition brought me to this place today. I was expecting the best from this small, unpretentious cafe. I was pleasantly surprised of the space, music and overall feel. I took one look at the menu and new that I was in for a real treat. I was in line and sparked up a conversation with "Beth" in for her favorite lemon cookie, She was gracious enough to buy me one too! I "dined in". Every "staff member" wore a smile and offered the specials. Driss was a dream! It's literally service you dream of, you must go just to meet Driss. He is awesome. The FOOD, The FOOD some of the best quality food is I've eaten. I am also chef and if your a foodie like me this is WHERE YOU NEED TO BE. I love food that make go Mmmm.

Life affirming ginger sesame salad with expertly grilled shrimp! I went in expecting Panera-bread level quality and the food and the service blew me away! I will be back! So glad to have a solid option for healthy and fresh food in the mall because you won't find it in the noisy food court.

This is the Nordstrom Cafe and it is a hidden gem! Forget the food court! Definitely come here any time you are at the mall! Top notch service (server Driss) plus great food in a relaxing environment--the perfect antidote to any hectic trip to the mall! Food came out quickly as well. We had the Cilantro Lime Shrimp Salad, the Chicken Tomatillo Soup, and the Penne Bolognese with Meatballs. Thank you!
Bit pricey but exceptional quality.
