    Roma Tomato Basil Soup
    Sandy T.

    I really like the soups here, especially the tomato soup. This was my first time trying the crab soup; it was pretty good! I've been eating at Nordstrom cafes since I was young, but this was my first experience at this location. The menu has a lot of options. However, I wasn't that hungry so I got some cups of different soups. The service was decently fast and my server was kind. However, they were not too attentive when it came to refilling water. I like the environment - located inside one of my favorite shops, Nordstrom!

    Lavender Mimosa

    The Nordstrom Cafe Bistro is such a great, hidden gem within the Nordstrom store at Fashion Place mall. I am unsure if this is how it always functions, but we ordered our food first then were presented with our receipt and could sit anywhere within the restaurant. Of course, we chose one of the tables by the window because it has such a beautiful view of the Wasatch mountains! Upon sitting down, you will be met by a server who will take your receipt from you, then bring you any drinks you ordered up at the counter. The menu is fairly small, but I can tell you that every option is worth the price! We were asked if we wanted to start with the rolls and butter, and of course, I would never say no to that! The butter it was paired with almost reminded me of Boursin cheese; it had some chives mixed in and it had some type of cheese mixed in that made it so delicious! We also indulged in some early afternoon mimosas; I got the Lavender mimosa and my husband got a regular mimosa with orange juice. Always fun to have nice pre-shopping beverage! As far as food goes, my husband ordered the French Dip with the regular Bistro fries and the Kalamata Olive aioli on the side, and I ordered the Roasted Chicken & Goat Cheese Panini with the Truffle Fries and Garlic Aioli on the side. My husband really enjoyed his French Dip, and especially if you are a fun of Kalamata olives, he would highly suggest trying that aioli! As someone who is hit or miss with enjoying Goat Cheese, I can't recommend enough that you try this Roasted Chicken & Goat Cheese Panini. The sandwich had a balsamic glaze on it that paired so well and really brought the flavors all together with the goat cheese and the crisp bite of the arugula. Additionally, the truffle fries were not too overpowering with the truffle and the garlic aioli was perfect seasoned! We all know that Nordstrom is wonderful for its shopping, but if you haven't had the chance to try out the Cafe Bistro, stop in on your next shopping trip!

    Grilled Cheese & Tomato Soup
    Tess M.

    Wanted a quick bite before shopping. Picked grilled cheese & tomato soup combo thinking it would be quicker but I was wrong. It took 20+ minutes to arrive. The place was not that busy. Soup was alright. Sourdough bread was the highlight of this visit!

    Formerly the Bistro Club, now the turkey avocado but ask for the green beans!
    Rebecca N.

    I have loved Nordstrom Cafe for many years and this Cafe Bistro version is not even close to the same. Not sure why they downgraded the restaurant while still having the same basic menu. I ordered my favorite bistro club, now called the turkey avocado club and was disappointed that they omitted the green beans - arguably the best part of the bistro club. Luckily the fries are the same and the purple aioli they serve with them was still available in all its salty glory. The service was on point! Quickly refilled drinks and anything else we needed. So while you order and pay when you walk in, a fast casual vibe, the servers were on top of it the entire time we were there. Dear Nordstrom, please bring back the Nordstrom Cafe and save us from the stressors of Christmas shopping with those fresh and crisp green beans paired with crispy bacon and perfectly toasted bread. Thanks.

    Lobster mac and cheese
    Brianne C.

    This is the cutest little bistro with an elegant ambience. You honestly would never know it's inside a department store. The setup is a little different here. You order and pay at the counter, then wait while a server brings you your drinks and food. It has all the lovely bits of fine dining without having to wait a long time for your check. Since you've already paid, you can simply leave whenever (unless you need a box for your leftovers). The menu here is quite nice, with lots of options that sound delicious. While my husband didn't love the pizza he ordered, my lobster mac and cheese was pretty much perfect.

    French dip
    Lisa H.

    Love the Nordstrom Café and this location is great! They have a great menu and great service. The French dip is one of the best, I always recommend it to people coming to this cafe. They have good starters, the tomato and burrata is a must try! The cauliflower is also delicious. They have tasty deserts that you can also just purchase at the front. I always have a great dining experience at this cafe whether it's just for a quick bite between shopping or a full meal.

    Quaint Bistro in Nordstrom's. Loved the view of the mountains. You can enjoy a beverage of choice ( I had a Chardonnay) the salad has a bit of a kick in the dressing and full of tomatoes and yummy stuff! Loved the cauliflower appetizer! The sauce was fabulous!

    Fries + kalmata olive aioli
    Blythe S.

    I came here for the first time for lunch on a Friday. I'd been to Nordstrom ebar before for coffee, but had no idea there are dining options. We arrived shortly after opening and there was a small line that moved pretty quickly. You order before being seated, but it still felt like a more upscale dining experience ambiance. I went with the green goddess salad and added chicken. It includes farro, quinoa, hard cooked egg, organic baby spinach, avocado, pickled red onion, cucumber, turmeric daikon, and herb salad. I loved everything about it, especially the turmeric daikon. The fries were perfect. Very crisp and fresh, well-seasoned and maybe had some lemon on them? The aioli was unique because I'd never had an aioli with kalmata olive in it. It was really great. Service was also friendly. I look forward to having lunch here again.

    Holy smokes. So, I knew that there was a restaurant upstairs at Nordstrom, but I always thought it was too expensive to dine at. A friend of mine who worked at Nordstrom asked if I wanted to try it and I said yes! So glad I did because this place is so classy, yet casual. You order your food at the register. Their menu is super small, and can change every once in awhile. After you order, you choose your seat and a waitress/waiter comes to check in on you. It feels fancy and there's such a great view of the mountains. My go-to is the KID'S menu salmon. Yes, I said it, KID'S MENU! It's filling, and it comes with a drink and side of fruit. Their kid's menu portion is filling and large enough to share around the table. They also give you cute little chocolate sticks at the end of your meal with your check. I would absolutely recommend and come here again!

    Cauliflower risotto
    John C.

    It has been a long time since I ate her last. There was an event a couple years back. Food is still delicious, their special was the cauliflower risotto and was divine. The other mentions are the deviled eggs, heirloom tomato burrata, and the buffalo cauliflower had a serious kick. Service is still awesome as before, and love those after dinner mints. Will be back when I can remember that it is on the 2nd floor inside Nordstrom on the East end.

    This place is cute, nice and delicious. The service was excellent. Atmosphere was beautiful. Our waitress was so sweet. Food is good. First time having bread pudding ,it was delicious.

    Jessicah J.

    I have always wanted to try this place! Such a hidden gem in Nordstrom. I absolutely LOVED my gnocchi and want to go back to try more things! I had a delicious Diet Coke and wonderful service. No kid menu but we made it work and enjoyed our lunch break from shopping :)

    Burrata
    Tina H.

    Dined in this cute cafe yesterday for lunch and we had excellent service by our waitress! She was very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. The only issue we encountered was that most of the menu was unavailable unfortunately. Many of the appetizers we tried to order were out as well as the chefs pizza and decadent chocolate chip cookies. The food we did order was excellent though! The burrata and cauliflower appetizers were phenomenal. The beyond burger was pretty good and the fries with rosemary were amazing! For dessert you have to try the bread pudding and put your order in when your meals come as it takes 10-15 minutes to come out! I hope they get their menu figured out so I can try the rest!

Only reason I haven't been back is because eating out is a whole-family decision. What you get at Bumblebees is, in my opinion, a rare and odd fusion of foods that loosely fall into the realm of Bulgogi and Primanti Brothers (think fries plus bulgogi). The interior is appropriately dive-y. The service isn't surprising or especially fast (I recall it being respectable), but...that unique combination is only akin to having chili Mac (chili over spaghetti) from Hard times in DC. So...it's in that vein of highly flavored meat over a base starch that is cooked in such a way as to carry the flavor and not hamper it...every time I drive by, I wish my family liked spicy things more - it's totally worth it!!

The real star of the menu was dessert! The peanut butter and chocolate ganache was delicious; the shortbread caramel tart was better. It tasted like a very fancy Twix! Service was a little slow, which was perhaps surprising for a Wednesday in mid-October. But one server brought small toys for our toddler to play with, and another gave her a free strawberry sorbet. Hoof and Vine has a little more urban and less rustic feel than Tiburon, so the atmosphere felt a little less special to me. But overall, it's a great spot for a nice dinner. We will almost certainly be back.

I didn't try the gyro burger because it was very raw on the inside. It was lamb and wagyu but I prefer my burger meats to be cooked all the way through. My friends said it was sweet and it's probably because they glazed the bun. The fat bastard oysters were too big for my liking. There's also gelato on top which was weird because it made the oyster taste like it was partially frozen. I don't recommend this. The rolls tasted like biscuits. It was crumbly and it wasn't expected for a nice restaurant. The heirloom tomato pastry was my favorite dish of the night. The half sashimi trout was more like a stew in sweet sauce. The baby yellow potatoes were just added without any seasonings. Assuming it should soak in the sweet juices? I didn't care for it. Trout was good, but preferred that the skin was crispy, which was extremely soggy, drowned in the sauce. Server asked if I wanted bread to drink the sauce and sure. Why not. It may taste better with regular bread and it wasn't. You can also skip valet parking if you just walk an extra minute down the parking lot. I forgot what one of the desserts name but it was the one with butter cake. This was extremely sweet too with the gooey caramel sauce. The donut was ridiculously expensive at $16 with a little honeycomb decoration. Nothing special with the desserts. Overall, everything is sweet here. Their menu is a lot and I feel like the burger menu can be a little too much and trying too hard to be fancy.
