Cafe Nordstrom

Good place to eat and I highly recommended there sweet potato fries. I could eat a bowl all to myself.

I used to avoid the food court and come here when I went shopping at RF back in high school. My favorite item was the chicken/​red pepper/​pesto panini with an iced coffee. I’m not even sure if they still do that sandwich, but it warranted a review for being so good (albeit pricy).
Update: I think I’m thinking of the (recently?) renamed eBar at Nordstrom.

Fresh food, outstanding manager (woman w/​glasses), good wait staff… Try the Chicken & Wild Mushroom Gnocchi, creamy and delicious. Their Cherry Glazed Short Ribs also good, just be warned of the dash of pepper flakes. The sandwich, salad, n soup quality stand out of the rest of the food-​court fair.

This café is a nice alternative to the traditional mall food. The food was fresh and the service was good.

Would actually take off ½* but the service was so wonderful and bend over backward friendly that 4 stars are warranted :)
About 2 weeks ago was the first time I’ve ever dined there. Some of my mother’s friends recommended the place, so we went. I didn’t know you paid for the food before you received it-​sort of a switch for a restaurant or café. The décor was very nice, complimentary to the store. Nothing chintzy at all. The manager was extremely polite and approachable and the service staff performed great considering it was on a crowded Saturday afternoon
I ordered the crab sandwich and chips and that’s where I frown a little. For the most part ‘chips’ are usually fried potatoes-​and definitely something I’d expect with a crab cake sandwich but to my dismay next to the juicy goodness of the sandwich was about a 25 cent bag worth of potato chips. Cheapened the meal a bit. My mom and I shared a cup of tomato basil soup-​and although I’m not a soup person I enjoyed the creamy texture.
The price is good, not too much but about what you’d expect. Most items linger around $ 10-​$ 12 and it’s mostly salads and sandwiches. Overall I enjoyed the outing and would consider going back.
