Who would have ever thought you can get a great meal right in the middle of a department store? That is exactly what you find at the Bistro @ Nordstrom's. The deserts are always fantastic, but my all time favorite is the strawberry shortcake read more

5 STARS! Seriously the best spot in town for lunch. I always know the I will have an delicious, high quality meals at the Bistro. If you are a turbo shopper like me, then you know the importance of a good lunch to provide a moment of serenity and get extra energy. The Cafe Bistro is hands down the best dining option at Fashion Place. (I know that is hard to believe, but it really is better than Panda Express.) My go to meal is a cup of Lobster Bisque and the Lime Cilantro Shrimp Salad. Everything here is freshly prepared. The food is prepared quickly and the prices are sensible. I love the Cafe so much, I sometime make up an excuse to go to Murray just so I can eat here! read more

Love shopping at Nordstrom and finally ate at the Bistro. Don't know why I've never had lunch here before! It was perfect! Got a light salad and a glass of white wine read more

Cafe Bistro at Nordstrom - My lovely lunch salad - New American Near Me - Murray, Utah

I love Nordstrom and I love this cafe. Every time I'm in this Nordstrom, I wander in to the cafe, even just for a peek to see what their soup of the day is. Every menu item is great, some more stellar than others; definitely would recommend any seasonal salad, the cafe club and any soups! But, I really live for their fries and olive aioli for dipping. It's not served at every Nordstrom Cafe Bistro in the country so even if it doesn't come with your meal, order a side of these babies, you won't be sorry you did. The service lives up to the Nordstrom way. Friendly, attentive and assertive. They welcome you before you step up to order and when you reach your table you feel taken care of, but not smothered. Next time your in a Nordstrom that has a cafe bistro, wander over and checkout the menu, you may be pleasantly surprised. p.s. They serve breakfast all day, every day! read more

Are you kidding me? I'm eating in a department store restaurant located in a mall? Was I going to choose the "msg" food court or that hideous Cheesecake Factory? Forget it! Super friendly staff greets, explains menu and that you order at cashier with a server to bring you your meal. I must say it's the best lunch I ever had in Utah. I like the menu, quite a nice selection. The ingredients are fresh and my chicken was super moist and cooked to order. Nothing worse than precooked cold chicken on a salad. Homemade cesar dressing and warm flatbread crouton, yumm! If you like food and live in Utah, you're missing out if you haven't tried it yet. read more

Like everything Nordstrom does, this place is appropriate, beautiful, and always a good idea. This is more of a take out style restaurant with waiter service. Weird, right? You put in your order and pay up front and then go to the table and are served. The pros about this is that you can view the entire menu before even committing to eating there. Trust me, you'll want to eat there, because there is something for everyone. Here's what I love to order: -Citrus Shrimp salad...it has corn, cilantro, and all sorts of tasty goodness. It's light, yet totally satisfying. - French fries with kalamata olive oil...seriously, do not pass this up. You'll beg them for another side of the aioli and then you'll beg for the recipe. Believe me. - Totally tasty soups. It's the perfect place to meet someone for lunch or get some energy while shopping. P.S. They serve breakfast all day! read more

4 stars because I wish we can just order seated on our table. I don't like that we have to go to a cashier to order. Since it is called bistro would be nice to do ordering like normal sit-down restaurants. I really enjoyed my french dip steak sandwich. Very good and large portion. White chocolate bread pudding is a must! Rich and amazing. Warm and the white chocolate melting on top. read more

Cafe Bistro at Nordstrom - New American Near Me - Murray, Utah

Absolutely delicious! I'm so glad I discovered this place. We had the angel hair pasta and the rustic vegetable and cheese pizza. The chicken breast in the pasta was moist, and the tomato sauce was so good, there was almost none left on the plate. The ingredients on the pizza were fresh and tasty. The shrimp risotto is also very good. Tasty and delicious. I can't say anything about the shrimp as I am allergic and substituted it for salmon. I am usually very cautious with ordering salmon anywhere that isn't on the coast, but this was moist, and did not have any fishy smell. I was happily surprised! Lastly, the service was great but it took awhile for our order to arrive despite it being almost empty. However, that will not stop it from being our new favorite lunch spot! read more

Service: beyond amazing. Friendly staff, open kitchen. Lisa in particular at register felt like my own mother. After my food was delivered she noticed that I didn't get a bowl of soup but a cup instead. She came up to me and got me a bowl to go. She is a complete asset. Amazing. Food: memorable. Crab ship and chicken & goat cheese panini are fantastic. Location: Best for you could eat at fashion place mall. Price: cheap! 12.00 for a bowl of soup and full sandwich. Management: present, kind, invited me to the restaurant. read more

I love Cafe Bistro, the atmosphere is very quaint and the service is great. I generally like to order the French Onion Soup with lots of French bread and melted cheese on top. I use a fork and knife to cut into the bread and cheese and then transfer the bite to my soup spoon. My husband prefers the crab bisque, rich and creamy and comes with a small loaf of French bread on the side. read more

This is an absolute Jem of a restaurant. I didn't think something in the mall would be hidden. We had a Margarita pizza and a French dip. Both were amazing but the French dip was AMAZING! read more

After I got over the sticker shock of the $30 bill for lunch--for two people without drinks--I have to admit I was pleasantly surprised by the food at the Murray Nordstrom Café. Years ago, before Sister Holland entered my life and when the credit card was king my friends and I would visit the Café at the old downtown Nordstrom whenever we made the trek down to the city from Happy Valley. There was never any question as to what you were having; you just order the blue plate special with half a sandwich and a bowl of soup or a salad. For $9.99, it was high on the hog dining at a reasonable price. You'd order your meal at the counter, take your number and drink to your table where a matronly server would bring your tasty food right to your table. Gone are the credit cards, the matrons and the bargain meals at Nordstrom these days; they were replaced by a well-dressed service staff and a full-scale kitchen. You still order lunch at the counter as you enter, but hold your breath as your host offers to add dessert to your already pricy meal. Today, I was not dining with Sister Holland. Instead I was out with one of our many brood celebrating her experience of practicing using her driver's permit. While I ordered the Salad Niçoise this one has an appetite like a trucker and ordered herself a French dip. She's been told that any boy she brings home has to have a penchant for people living alternative lifestyles and an IQ above the summer temperature in Salt Lake, so of course, I'm referring to her roast beef sandwich here. She swims and plays water polo so her caloric intake doubles that of even Sister Holland who can pack away a full size burger and then head onto dessert without missing a beat. As we sat there lamenting the price of the meal I reminisced about the good old days when we'd come to buy a new smoking jacket and silk pajama pants downstairs and then head for a miserly meal at the old café. I was dreading the thought of paying $15 for a bowl of lettuce and a slab of dry salmon. For our money we didn't even get a plate of bread to chew on while we waited. After a surprisingly short wait our meals arrived. The French dip plate was piled high with herbed fries, au jus, and a ramekin of olive aioli for the fries. My salad was the perfect Niçoise with the usual tuna replaced by a 5 ounce portion of salmon. I dug in heartily and was floored. The dressing had just the right tang, the olives, sliced, were delicious mated with a grape tomato, and the eggs were heavenly eaten with the roasted potatoes. Maybe this salad was worth the price after all. A stab at the perfectly grilled salmon filet finished the deal. The salmon was tender and sweet on the inside without even a hint of any aging aroma, and with a crispy crust to create a very nice mouth feel. I had a bite of the number one daughter's sandwich and devoured some of her fries before she bit my head off for stealing her food. The aioli was delicious with the herbed fries. The beef was tender with just the right amount of bun to make it perfect for dipping. I sort of wished we'd ordered dessert. I can't say that we'll be back any time soon because Sister Holland has me on a short leash when it comes to splurging on a good meal, but when I can grab one of the offspring and scan the card at Nordstrom Café before being caught, I might have to come back and pay the extra $10 for dessert. read more

Although it might seem weird that there is a restaurant in Nordstrom's, it really isn't that weird at all. In fact, we really enjoy place. They have quality food, and the restaurant is really classy. It usually isn't super busy so you don't have to wait to get a seat. The menu doesn't have a million and one options but I like that cause it's easier to decide what I want. The options they do have are really good options too. We really like their fries which come with a special garlic aioli sauce. Definitely worth getting! read more

The food is always fresh and the staff is friendly! Been here plenty of times and have only had great experiences. Pablo is a wonderful server who always goes above and beyond for his guests. He never fails to put a smile on my face whenever I go in! read more

Patrick is the most amazing person and always so sweet. Best employee that works there (I don't know too many of the other ones) but I'm always so excited when Patrick is working!! Oh and the food is absolutely amazing! Great atmosphere too! I always get my food to go because I work in the mall but I have sat down and ate before, it's lovely! read more

You simply cannot go wrong eating here while shopping @ Fashion Place. In my opinion it is a far better option than any of restaurants found at this mall when it comes to the quality of food and convenience of the location. My go to is the bistro club while my husband always gets the Steak w/ Frittes. They have some of the best seasoned fries that come with an olive tapenade/aoli sauce- a must try. read more

I had lunch here again to day. It was just amazing. I think that if you are in this area there really isn't a better place to grab something to eat no matter if it's for lunch or dinner. I have noticed that they have really stepped the customer service. Was very impressed today! Wen with my usual bistro club and it was great! read more

I was surprised how tasty the salmon salad was. It was odd that the server sent me to the cashier to order and there wasn't an option to add a tip. So I left the tip in cash on the table. Service was fast and kind. read more

Cliantro Lime Shrimp salad and french onion soup = satisfied customer

Cilantro lime shrimp salad and lobster bisque are to die for! Sometimes the service can be less than stellar but the food is always on point. Who knew you could get such great food in a mall :) read more

The dark chocolate mocha coffee drink is totally addicting! I've gone to the Bistro just for one! It's a great place to stop while shopping to sit down, have a coffee and a treat. read more

I've been coming here for years and I think I'm done. They have increased their prices and cut the portion size of the protein on their salads. It was hard to justify spending $18 on a salad before, but now it's totally not worth it. They are increasing prices while trying to cut cost and its reflecting poorly in their food. read more

Fantastic restaurant! From the friendly and welcoming greeting from Cameron to the great service by Jake! The sandwich I got was the best sandwich I've had in a long time and it came out quick. The fries and olive dip it comes with was amazing as well. Bonus was the manager Chris even stopped by my table to see how my meal was! Will definitely be back. A+ food and service. read more

Whenever my "foodie" friend, Amy, asks me where I want to go for lunch, I always suggest the Nordstrom Cafe in Murray (and she unsuccessfully tries to make me branch out). This is my favorite restaurant in all of Utah. I have never had a bad meal there. My "go to" is the Caesar Salad (vegetarian) with a cup of their delicious Crab Bisque. Never has it been fishy or rubbery. It's always perfect. The Caesar Salad is always crisp, and the juicy lemons they provide give it a fabulous kick. They also include a huge parmesan crisp, which is fun. I especially love the dining style. You order right up front, and then take a seat wherever you please. Besides what I listed above, I would recommend the Mojo Pork Sandwich or the French Onion Soup. read more

The bistro is always amazing! The service is awesome, but the food is even better! I eat here often and no matter what I get I am satisfied!

The sandwiches and salads are all fine and dandy, but those thin cut fries and the kalamata olive aioli is something you CANNOT pass up when going here. Beware, this cafe is not the same in all nordstrom locations so make sure you confirm you are indeed at the bistro cafe! I also LOVE the lobster bisque, and the kids grilled cheese! read more

Cafe Bistro at Nordstrom - Lobster bisque on point! - New American Near Me - Murray, Utah

I agree with another reviewer, best dining option at Fashion Place! Our whole family loves this place! Kid friendly and great food! My hubby and I have had almost everything on the menu and we have never been disappointed. We are tough critics too! The Nicoise Salmon salad, grilled shrimp and risotto, Croque Madame with the cherry preserves, & chicken and pomme Frites are some of our favorites. The chicken is crispy, succulent and flavorful. Love the kalamata olive tapenade. Their breakfasts are great too! You can never go wrong here. And the service is what you'd expect from Nordstrom: awesome! read more

My favorite place to go for lunch. Great food and great service: the management and staff are top notch, and the food is delicious.

Friendly open environment. Delicious deviled eggs, and paninis. Service is great. Perfect spot for lunch at Fashion Place.

This shit is delicious! Shopping while drinking awesome coffee? Yes please! All of the drinks that I have tried have been amazing, but my favorite has to be the Mexican hot chocolate. read more

Very classy. What a surprise to find this! So excited. Definitely a great option to stop into if you are around.

Good variety on the menu. Service was fast and friendly. The Asian chicken salad was delicious. I really love the desserts here! Crème brûlée is delicious and my friend loved the chocolate paradise cake! read more

I've noticed this Cafe a few times while at Nordstrom's and my wife and I decided to try it out! Sooo glad We did! The Manager Chris was extremely kind, informed us of different options and had us in our seats quickly! Our server Jake was on top of things! Had our beverages immediately and our food came extremely fast! Funny thing is, my wife and I planned on eating dinner elsewhere in the mall that day but I am glad we didn't. I had the Bistro Club and it was perfect. The seasoned fries with their olive dip was new to me and delightful! Will definitely be dining there again! read more

Yes this is the cafe inside Nordstrom, and it is very very good! I'm not sure why others complain about ordering at the counter on the way in because the service and atmosphere are otherwise very comfortable and include a beautiful mountain view to the East. I ordered the kale salad which was truly something special. The kale was crispy and must have been flash fried at the perfect temp, then tossed with organic baby greens, which were perfect and fresh. Add almonds, blue cheese and thin slices of crisp apple (even though the menu said pear) and voila: the perfect lunch salad. A lovely pair of crostini accompanied my salad and by the time I finished I felt both satisfied and virtuous, maybe a bit too virtuous because I went on to order the Creme brûlée, which was one of the best I've ever had! Everything came out with gorgeous presentation. I had the iced tea and a coffee with dessert, both perfectly brewed. Maybe next time I will have a glass of wine, just because I can. This is the place to lunch when you want to indulge yourself after a little retail therapy. C'mon-you're worth it! read more
