Really nice restaurant inside Nordstrom Jax. They have a small menu, which is always encouraging to me, because it means that they are truly attentive to what they are serving. I had the Crab Mac and Cheese, which was amazing! With a very good, gooey, cheesy sauce and big, I mean BIG chunks of crab. My server was amazing (sorry I forgot your name): friendly, knowledgeable about the menu and specials and brought me a delicious chocolate stick with my bill! Will definitely go back! read more

All the cocktails are very well made and the presentation is beautiful!! The ambience is super relaxing. During the night is very easy to find a parking. Also, if you want a drink and is not in the menu, just ask for it! They are very nice and they would make it for you! My favorite spot for cocktails! read more

As I entered, I was stunned by the decorum. It's stunning in all of it's contemporary hipster glory. Then there was the service. The service is remarkable, primarily due to our waiter's attention to detail. My mom asked for a Lime, instead of a lemon and even though most restaurants with a full bar would give her a lemon, THEY ACTUALLY GAVE HER A LIME. (it was awesome). Then there was the bruschetta. The presentation was beautiful, and the pesto was spot-on. The bread also had a delightful crunch. Then the entree arrived. The entree I had was the Chicken with Angel hair and it was DELICIOUS. The chicken was remarkably cooked and seasoned, the pasta cooked to Al Dente perfection. My brother had the Chicken Pomme Frites, which I was told: " I have never had a chicken at a restaurant that wasn't abysmally dry, but this place took it a step further: it gave me the best chicken I've ever had at a restaurant". The Crimini Mushroom flatbread was beautifully crafted and delicious and all the ingredients were fresh. Dessert, (Creme brûlée) was magnificent and the Chocolate Paradise cake was heavenly (but shareable). Overall, Bazille is one of the best restaurants in the TC. The one issue is the wait times for food, but they are completely worth the wait. I would strongly recommend that you visit Bazille for lunch read more

I like Bazille. I finally gave it a try last week with hubby and sister. I was skeptical about going to a restaurant in a department store, but looking at reviews and their menu, we decided to give it a try. it's a really cool place, especially after a long day of shopping, it's really nice to just stop and get a drink and/or a bite to eat. I ordered the Amelia to drink. It was delicious. We also tried their soup and appetizer special, which was a corn clam chowder and pork belly. Both were pretty good. I ordered the Croque Madame, hubby ordered their prosciutto & arugula pizza, and sister had the grilled shrimp risotto. Overall everything tasted good. But what is keeping me from being a fan of Bazille is everything is a bit over salted. My sandwich and hubby's pizza were also a bit greasier than expected. The deserts were great, we tried their bread pudding and beignets (from specials menu). Both were delicious. I'd go back again to try their food. Their drinks and desserts are definitely terrific. read more

First of all, Covid19 has been a challenge for many restaurants. BUT, please, go to Nordstroms in The St.Johns town Center mall, go to the second floor and relax. Enjoy a most amazing meal, unique wines, and service that will go above and beyond. I have been a Nordstrom shopper for a very long time, and their store has helped me throughout my 50+ years of traveling all over the USA. Go have a great salad, some pasta, unique cocktails or wines. Talk with a chef, sit by the window. Relax, shop if you wish, but go to the Nordstrom Bistro named Bazille TODAY. You owe it to yourself, and your friends. read more

First time here and everything we had was delicious. Our server was very friendly and helpful as well. Quite place not very busy on a Friday night for dinner so easy to get seated and served right away. read more

I had heard good things about Bazille since it opened and when a friend wanted to go out for drinks on my birthday, it seemed like a great place to try. It was a Monday night and when we showed up the place was pretty empty. We went for drinks but ended up also trying a few food items. One friend ordered a beer but myself and Daisy S. ordered the Amelia (grey goose vodka, st. Germain cordial, fresh lemon juice, muddled blackberries). The drink was a super pretty color and very tasty. I would absolutely order it again. We also tried the calamari, margherita pizza, and tomato soup. The calamari was cooked perfectly, not chewy at all but very lightly breaded. The margherita pizza is a very good size. There were three of us and we each had a couple of pieces. I had a tiny taste of the tomato soup and it was super fresh. You honestly could have poured it over spaghetti, it was so tomato-y and tasty. The real star though, was our waitress. I wish I could remember her name but she was an older lady who was fantastic. She was so friendly, offered suggestions, and could not have been more helpful. After this experience, I'm really looking forward to visiting Bazille again. read more

Oh So Fancy! This is a beautiful small restaurant located on the second floor of Nordstroms, very modern and comfortable, it reminded me of a restaurant in NY, very cool..... Me and a friend wandered in and were seated at a high top table immediately, there was a wait for a regular table, they seemed pretty busy, on this sunday afternoon. Now the food......Oh My Gosh....the brushetta....the bruschetta....it was delicious!!! I have had some good Brushetta before (Biscottis, b.b.'s) but this has to be my favorite way having it.......it was different....a good hunk of bread was grilled then had a burreta(?) cheese ( described as mozzarella on outside ricotta on inside) on top, two thick slices of tomato, and oil/vinager drizzled on top, with micro greens and a pesto sauce(?) ........really, really, good!!! Like ill dream about this dish, that good...lol Next, the entree's: We got the crab mac and cheese served with small salad, and the french dip with french fries...... These were both good, they seem to have really good bread, the french dip was salty and chewy... The crab mac and cheese, was good, big pieces of crab in a real cheese sauce, even the salad was good. This is a welcomed addition to Jax., on a side note when you leave Nordstroms from the side connected to the rest of Town Center, they have it set up really nice like a chill out area with tables and chairs, lounge set up....they have a Coffee Bar also called Nordstroms EBar that looked great.....we were still stuffed but i would love to grab a coffee and pastry and hang out, the next time i make it out here. read more

I get together regularly with an old colleague for drinks and it was that time again. She put me to the task to find a hot new place on Yelp. Bazille fit the bill and was very convenient from the office for our Friday night gathering. I was a little early for our reservation so opted for a cocktail at the bar while I waited. I went for the Mai Tai Chi. It was quite tasty and a sweet sipper. When the rest of our party showed up we were seated in a booth next to the kitchen. We started with the Ricotta & Tomato Jam Jar. The crostini were hot out of the oven and buttered beautifully. The waiter was happy to bring us more crostini so none of our tasty app would be left behind. For my entree, I went with the Crab Macaroni & Cheese. It was bubbling hot out of the oven. Definitely would order again, but want to explore more of the menu. Hard decisions. read more

This place is a hidden gem! I would have never known there was a restaurant on the second floor of a department store. The seating is extremely cozy and the views are amazing. I would highly recommend the crab bisque and the skirt steak! They have an open kitchen , which is something I like, as well as an open dining area. Even though I was there when it was packed , it never seemed to be loud. Very elegant and romantic but also a good spot to grab a quick lunch. I highly recommend checking this place out read more

Brunch playin hooky with hubby,First time trying Bazille at Nordstrom though being here few yrs and menu always looked appetizing. Decor, Service, A ok Had Lobster Bisque looked like bisque/ Minus lobster, taste like tomato soup. Shrimp fettucine nice fresh basil, but with the same tomato tasting bisque sauce, So tangy couldn't enjoy or finish it. Cobb Salad with hamburger hubby had/ enjoyed, was good I tried it but I would have had chkn. Oh Sangria No good here ;( read more

Food is phenomenal!!! I have been here a handful of time and have tried something new each time. Everything has been great! Staff is super friendly and helpful. I also love that they have a window front on the kitchen so you are able to see in the kitchen while you dine. read more

I had a fabulous lunch with one of my girlfriends here! I enjoyed the crab bisque followed by the cilantro lime shrimp salad. Yessir, it was delicious!! The flavor was splendid and the service was as well. I'm so glad we came for lunch, because we had a great time! Can't wait to return! read more

First time here and it took speaking to a manager to even get service after 10 minutes as every waiter and staff looked directly at our table and walked passed. Then after we got our food we asked for silverware and waited another 6 minutes before speaking to a manger again to get silverware. You would think that after having to get a mangers attention twice for service the waiter would have actually payed attention to our table, but we still had to flag someone down to get drinks. Oh and how we love to come to a nice restaurant and see someone's underwear our whole meal.. I'm pretty sure they were Tommy Hilfiger but I could decided what was more distracting the sweat on them or that he actually had a belt on. Think they could use with a better manager Fun times and lasting impressions. I will say the warm Asian chicken salad is the best Asian salad I've ever had. read more

Bazille at Nordstrom - New American Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

Extremely slow service which negatively impacted our experience (it wasn't crowded or even near COVID capacity). Restaurant furnishings are starting to show wear. Food taste was decent/ average - not memorable. 2.5 would be my score, if Yelp allowed for half stars. Save your time and go to Tommy Bahama's or True Food Kitchen, both are around the corner. read more

Pretty great The decor and overall feel is very upscale feeling. It almost feels like a restaurant in a fancy city somewhere. The wait staff was attentive and polite despite the lunch rush that came shortly after we were seated. I had the crab bisque which was fantastic as well the chicken and goat cheese panini which was good but not great. The fries and olive aoili were on point however. The price was also relatively cheap. Overall pretty good, but could be better for the price. read more

Bazille have the best club sandwiches out there. Great atmosphere great service great people. Highly recommended.

Always have had a good experience here. Love the salads and appetizers. I've ordered the hummus, Asian salad, and French dip before and have enjoyed all of them. Although it is inside a store, you don't realize that when eating at the restaurant. Check it out after a day of shopping in the town center. read more

This place is always decent. We had one bad experience with a lazy server which was rectified by a free meal, including drinks and desert. Literally a two hour fiasco as she disappeared, started rolling silverware and messed up on almost each element of our order. Based on our other experiences, the food, desert and drinks are great. You can't go wrong here for lunch or early dinner. read more

Atmosphere is beautiful The decor is very trendy The staff is extremely hospitable ! I like how it's upstairs and there are big windows You can purchase their items in the front . Walking around Nordstrom we were welcomed with fresh pizza , to come in and try their restaurant ! A nice touch The best part about this place are the cocktails and the desserts ! They have a lot of fresh and innovative Cocktail ingredients like lavender syrup. The white chocolate raspberry bread pudding I hear is legendary ! The food is like cafe food, just for a light bite while your shopping but a bit price for the portion size. Nothing I tasted was worth the price or extraordinary . The service finished nicely with Nordstrom chocolate sticks :) read more

What keeps me coming back? The food is really good, and the service is top notch. I think it keeps with Nordstrom standards/expectations, and I like being able to take guests someplace different and know they will be impressed. Once you get over the fact you are eating in a high-end department store, order the following: - any of their hand-crafted cocktails (smoke & heat is neat!) - the jam jar EXCLUSIVE to this Jacksonville location; tomatoes, pesto and cheese have never made a more perfect union that this, smeared on top of crostinis - specials are worth your time and most recent honey chipotle wings were a hit - salads are good and any of them with shrimp, beets, goat cheese or avocado will not disappoint. I was just too busy eating to actually remember the names. I am not ashamed to admit I have made specific trips to Nordstrom specifically to eat here, and I will go again and hopefully remember my gift card so I can buy a sock. I need to save the rest of money for the food here because it's not for tight-budgeted times... read more

Before I go on this rant I want to say this place use to be very good. They are heavily short staffed in the kitchen, but i still do not think that excuses the food I was given today. I ordered 2 French dip sandwiches that came out partially raw, it looked like ground beef straight out of the package. It was my boyfriends first time here and even he said "is it supposed to look like that?" (No) I talked to the manager he tried to convince me that they were MR (without even seeing them, he assumed they were cooked properly) Medium rare is my favorite and only way to eat it! Hell- even rare! this was RAWWWW. The kitchen guy was in the back throwing a fit and the waitress who took my order didn't even care to stay and make sure I got my food properly the second time. After getting my refund and my properly cooked medium rare French Dip, we got home and were missing the fries for one if the french dips! How does that even happen, they didn't even care to properly check a RECOOK? I will not be coming back, but I hope you all have a better experience similar to my earlier days coming here. The bartender was sweet. read more

Love the Mediterranean salmon with couscous and ... Too bad they close sooooo early 4pm :(

Bazille. I like you- you're really cool. I even like that you're inside a shopping mall- it's like you're hidden in plain sight- like Waldo. Your atmosphere is awesome- I liked how the rain was cascading down your huge windows- making each panel look like one of those water fixtures you see in even fancier restaurants. I liked our server- how she enjoyed her job and let us sample wines before ordering. I liked my gin and tonic- how it was mainly gin. Yay gin. 1st course: Bruschetta- this was awesome- unbelievable mozzarella, that resembled a quivering poached egg atop the grilled bread. Great ricotta was smeared on the side, coupled with one of the freshest, most flavorful pestos I've encountered. I wish the tomatoes could have been heirloom- to add another depth of flavor. But hey. 2nd course: Ahi tuna appetizer- ok not great. Ample cubes of fresh tuna, decent asian dressing- but your wonton crisps were over fried. They made the entire dish taste a bit burnt- not a good combo when you're dealing with raw fish. 3rd: The steak. This was recommended. Highly. Unfortunately it was one of the worst steaks I've had in a while. No real sear- one side completely grey- and a center that was medium at best. Whoever is working your grill or flat top needs to be shown the light. Brussel sprouts were bland- why not throw them in your amazing blast furnace pizza oven? We sent this whole dish back. Wah-wah. 4th: Risotto with shrimp. Ok. Nothing special. I had heard the risotto was bomb here. This risotto was not cooked properly. Risotto is supposed to spread out on the plate- not clump together in a rigid sort of ball. It's a creamy delicate dish- not here. Shrimp were decent- slightly over cooked and honestly not the freshest either. A squirt of lemon and some requested parmesan helped- but really? This should be a homerun. Fix your risotto recipe. 5th: Salmon nicoise. Great salad- honestly- no complaints here. Flavors, depth, execution- all solid. If this is your kinda thing- it's a good bet. 6th (replacement for steak): Parma ham/pesto Pizza: They fly the dough in from New York and you can tell. It's fantastic. The problem however was there was waaay too much oil from both the pesto and the finishing drizzle- which made the whole thing a bit soppy. Additionally- the ham is capital S salty- so the whole thing was a bit over the edge in that department. Great crust though. Overall- it's got great ambience but the food misses marks in more than a few places. read more

Bazille was one of my favorite restaurants in Jacksonville. The service the last few times has been terrible. In January, I thought it was a fluke that it took 45 minutes for even our appetizer to appear at lunch. I started exploring other restaurants around the town center after that unexpectedly very long lunch. Today, I was desperately hungry inside Nordstrom and decided to give it another chance for old times sake. After waiting awhile to have a waiter come take our order, she took our order on a paper napkin. We waited for 30 minutes without being checked up on so we decided that our salads were never coming. We asked the waiter if we could just pay for our drinks and go because we didn't have this much time for lunch. The waiter got the manager over as we are up and leaving . He said he could box up our salads since they were now ready. If they were ready, why not get them out to the diners!? Something is very wrong currently at Bazille. If I'm hungry at Nordstrom I will go to Ebar and eat a hard boiled egg and have a delicious lavender Chai tea! read more

Now I don't usually do this, but Bazille deserves a 5 star rating even if it was my first visit. I have previously been invited to this restaurant, but have often declined. Either something else would be on the agenda or I did not want to deal with the TownCenter traffic. I went last night with a couple of friends, and am sorry I missed out before. Since I did have a hard day at work, a cocktail was definitely needed. I began with the Billionaire. That name alone had me from the start. This cocktail included Marker's Mark and this woman loves her whiskey! It was so good, I had to order another. My meal was the Cilantro Lime Shrimp Salad and it was extremely tasty. This salad was a combination of red peppers, tomatoes, a bed of greens, plump shrimp and crispy wontons with a dressing that was out of this world yummo! To end the meal, we ordered dessert. They were the Chocolate Paradise, an apple cobbler and creme brûlée. Because I was full to the rim, I only had a taste of the Chocolate Paradise and apple cobbler. Both were fabulous! I may leave room for a little dessert nex time. Oh yeah, there will be a next time. Definitely worth treating yourself to Bazille! You can thank me later. LOL! read more

Horrible experience tonight! I walked in at 8:35pm, manager (Takesha or something like this) was VERY RUDE! She told me that their kitchen is closed at 8:30pm and the burners are off even though my friend and I looked up their hours online which clearly state 9pm is CLOSING TIME. My friend mentioned to the manager so hypothetically speaking if we would arrive at 8:29 you would seat us correct? She said yes. THIS DOESN'T MAKE SENSE! So basically their kitchen would still be closed since she said they close at 8:30pm and so how exactly would we get our food?? I've been a loyal customer for years here! I have NEVER come across such BAD SERVICE. In the past there was an amazing manager named Dan Munteanu who would've NEVER spoken to me this way especially with my loyalty to Nordstrom and Bazille. I am beyond pissed off and I look forward to a formal apology letter sent to my email: giftstarproductions@gmail.com This restaurant will definitely NOT have my support any longer as long as that manager is there. -Daniel read more

The food here is excellent as well as the customer service. I've been here quite a few times and I always have a great experience. I've had the pleasure to try most of the menu items and they do not disappoint. I get the mushroom risotto with every dish I get in place of the fries because it is just that damn good. I'm normally not into bread pudding but the one they offer here is absolutely delicious. I wish that they would add a few more permanent entrees however because the menu is kinda small. Love that they always have a soup of the day. Every one I've tried has been top notch. The French onion soup here is also the best I've ever had. Great spot to meet up with friends for a good meal. I'll be back quite often. read more

Ok.....This place is on the second floor of Norstrom...odd, but holy delicious! From start to finish, every thing was top notch and so flavorful! The drink called Smoke and Heat taste like a margarita infused with jalapenos and had a rim with salt that was smoked giving it a bbq kind of flavor. It was different but great! Our bruschetta and calamari appetizers were delicious and we shared the flat iron steak and grilled shrimp and asparagus with risotto, which were both cooked to perfection. We decided to tackle dessert and THANK goodness because we were rewarded with the BEST bread pudding I've ever had and the reason I will be going back for more. We had a chocolate cake with salted caramel sauce but although good, it was in no comparison to that bread pudding. I'm SO glad if found this place! read more

Tried this place for an early dinner date with a girlfriend. I had the "Rent Check" tequila based cocktail, and it was absolutely delightful. I love the oversized iced cubes, kept my drink nice and cold without watering it down. I decided to skip appetizers and went straight for the entrees. I had the half chicken w frites, it was plated beautifully but most if my fries were soggy because the chicken was placed directly on top of them. Overall, everything was delicious. I will definitely return again. read more
