This should always be the "go-to" for casual dining in Downtown Seattle. Consistently great.. service, food, environment. For this occasion, I had a cup of split pea soup and a salad with chicken. Wine was fantastic too.

Excellent service from Jennifer, great menu with options for customization, and just plain civilized.

Needs a refresh... Bad.

We arrived at 10:50a and was greeted by a less than warm/friendly hostess who curtly said: we don't open until 11. Our server, Max, also seemed bothered once we were seated (at 11am) but warmed up a bit through our meal. There was a lovely young lady - sad I missed her name - who seemed truly happy to see us and kindly offered to take photos of me and my niece. The original hostess also warmed up a bit — but if it wasn't for the lovely woman who was genuinely happy and inviting, The soup was delicious ... the sandwich tasty ... the salad a bit overdressed, but overall a good food experience. If it wasn't for that one ray of sunshine (again, so disappointed that I missed her name) my rating on service/hospitality would have been a 1 star. I would return if just for that one lovely lady.

Had a great salmon Cobb salad there - salad was delicious, a bit too sweet for me but I liked it in general. Great atmosphere. A great place for a recharging between your holiday shoppings.

I was with one other person and there was no line. The hostess looked at us like we were interrupting her day or we were stupid and there was a moment of tense silence. Very weird. I usually would expect a friendly greeting, but I felt a “what do you want” kind of behavior. Food was awesome, and service at the bar great. Obvious with holiday season it will be busy in here, so service might lack slightly. Totally understandable though. Just a very poor first impression at the front.

I took my three kids to the Nordstrom Grill downtown for lunch after visiting Santa (so sad compared to the old days of Nordstrom Santa) and was disappointed. First off, they need to figure out a way to clean the tile floors better, they are very slippery and we were seated at two tables pushed together which kept sliding apart the entire meal. Even with my kids getting frustrated and hardly moving, it was annoying for all of us! I asked to move, but the only available single table was reserved for the manager I was told. I chose the Grill over the Café expecting a better experience, but in hindsight the Café would have been the better option. Being in the basement gives the Grill an old-school, somewhat dingy bar-and-grill feel that I wouldn't expect at Nordstrom headquarters. The food was fine, but the ambience and seating made the experience a miss.

Food was so fresh and tasty. Sevrice was wonderful...looking forward to going back and try the other menu items ;-)

Great service. Crab bisque was satisfying. Nordstrom burger was also satisfying. I wish I knew about this place before I went.
This place is in the basement of Nordstrom which is an odd place to have a restaurant. Service was great however and the atmosphere was nice. The food was not great. I had the chicken tacos which were way too salty. I got 4 very small hard shell tacos for $20 not including tax and tip.

The food at the grill needs a refresh. Also it's very heavy with oil and grease. Even the salads are greasy. Also, I was between meetings and only wanted an appetizer - having food at my desk in the office - and I felt the server was judging me for not getting more food. So overall not great. The biggest help would be menu refresh. Normally I have really liked my servers.
Shelby
I wish I knew our server's name, he has assisted us before and he is fantastic. I'll be sure to get it next time so we can request him on each visit.

Never thought of having dinner here before a show or a movie but what a great choice! Lots of options on the menu, quiet and relaxed, and so close to theaters, Paramount and Benaroya Hall. We will definitely eat here again!

I am a regular at this point but with great food and consistently great service, how can you not come back again and again!
