Nordstrom Bistro is typically very good but I had the French Dip and the meat was dried out, the bun was burnt and the au jus had an odd flavor. My friend had their “Chicken Noodle Soup” which was a very thick bowl of goo. It was so unappetizing and I wonder how much cornstarch was used. So disappointing.

A little off, out of pizza dough@4;30, crab bisque showed no sign of crab other than a fishy tomato soup and out of tomato soup. First 2 picks of my wife were out, had to ask what they were out of before asking for anything else (there were 2 more). I visited one of these in Seattle and much better.

I got a free swag bag of pasta related stuff because I ordered a pasta dish. They gave me a good amount of after dinner mints. The service was very good. I've dined at this bistro for years and it's very good. I recommend their creme brulee for dessert and their kalamata olive aioli dip with fries it's addictive! I usally get the chicken and herb goat cheese sandwich. Very good by the way but, I got this gnocchi dish and because it was pasta month I got a free swag bag sponsored by Barilla since I ordered a pasta dish. If you are hungry while shopping at Nordstrom's it's a great place to check out.
Love this place! Great tomato basil soup. Fresh salad.

This hidden gem is a must-visit. The food - though a bit pricey - has always been on point. I love the pay-before-you-eat style and the service has always been fantastic. Tucked away on the second floor of Nordstrom's, the atmosphere is quite relaxing and usually quite calm. We will continue to visit this location.Parking: Parking is free at the mall.Wheelchair accessibility: Nordstrom has an elevator so this would definitely be accessible.

This is on the second floor of Nordstrom at the Tacoma mall. Love to come here with my bougie friends and get the crab mango salad with a light vinaigrette. That is the only thing I have tried thus far but other things look good on the menu. You order at the front and the waiter brings you the meal and drink that you ordered. The vibe of the restaurant is calm and classy. It is a nice place to have lunch as there isn't music blaring or anything. You can sit and chat with your gal pals. I want to go back and try the crab bisque. Unfortunately we're out lat time I went.

I like that in the break between shopping, you can have a quick snack and it is of sufficient quality

Horrible service here today from1 pm -2pm the old lady with black hair is seriously lacking customer service skills. Very rude and disrespectful rushed us did not check on us once didn’t bring us refills except only to bring boxes we didn’t ask for over all services 0 out of 10 I’ve been here plenty of times and never experienced the kind of service I received today . All the waitresses we’re just standing around by the kitchen just talking not tending to customers so we received no help with the service . This restaurant has really gone down hill
The cashier is very unpleasant and has poor customer service skills. I'm very disappointed with her, this was on two occasions in the same week.Vegetarian options: several optionsWheelchair accessibility: The have an elevator to the 2nd floor.

In the midst of Tacoma Mall madness, there's is a Nordstrom's Cafe Bistro and honestly if your shopping and are hungry for good food and more so hungry for a break from the mall chaos, go to Cafe Bistro. It is a bit small in size and so seating is limited. I love that they change up the Chef's specials.

Lunch today with friend. Really nothing spectacular French dip was slightly warm. Crab bisque same. Service ok. Not anything I would expect from a Cafe in Nordstrom's. Just so so.. have much better elsewhere. But then again I am not a Nordstrom shopper. Disappointed .
