    Goat Cheese & Chicken Panini $16
    Jen K.

    This restaurant and Nordstrom really disappointed me today. It has always been a treat and something my mom and I would try to go to once a year. The food was still good. My disappointment comes in the price for lunch was almost $70 for 2 people and I don't mind paying high dollar if the food is good and the service is great. Unfortunately, the service was terrible today. I get that the entire industry is hurting, however if I'm going to have less than service then I feel that the food prices should be reduced...$70 for 2 soup and sandwich is high (with terrible service!) IMO. My sandwich had VERY little meat. Won't be returning for a long, long time...if they're even still around.

    A true hidden gem. You wouldn't expect such good food hidden away on Nordstrom's second floor. I was mildly disappointed that the restaurant was out of their French dip, but the knowledgeable staff recommended one of the chef's specials. It was a cherry braised brisket sandwich and it was absolutely delicious. The server was very friendly and the restaurant was clean and welcoming.

    Why are there not more people coming here!? I have lived in Columbus over three years and just recently found out about this little gem. And I have been inside Nordstrom more times than I can count. The food is spot on and for the price, you really can't find this anywhere near by. Everything that grazed our table was 100% fabulous. Myself and our party was absolutely amazed that we had been here before. The only downside was the view. It might not be the newest fanciest restaurant in Easton but you will not be left dissatisfied with anything off the menu. For a fantastic lunch or quick bite during your shopping while at Easton. This place is a must. The service and food is 100% top notch.

    Crispy cauliflower
    Tammy A.

    This cafe is very nice, it's located on the second floor of Nordstrom. In the back area. You can either order up front or if you have a big party like I did, get a table and find a waiter or waitress to take a big order. I started off with the crispy cauliflower and I thought it was good. It had hummus, cauliflower, olives and feta cheese. Most of my family ordered it as well. Then I went with the french dip sub for the main entree and boy it was better than the stuff they serve at Arby's! This is the real deal, meat piled high with a toasty bun and sauce to dip. Paired with either a salad or fries and you got yourself a great meal. My mom ordered the quiche and liked it as well. My sister got the turkey club sandwich and thoroughly enjoyed it. Both my dad and brother got the salads and were pretty pleased with them. The kids got the margherita pizza and seemed to enjoy it. Even though my niece still said she needed a hamburger after completing her pizza. For the price, I think everything was pretty good here. You can't go wrong ordering anything off the menu.

    LOVE this place, perfect for a light girly lunch, sophisticated without being stuffy, a real feel good place that leaves you feeling great! I had found it awhile ago and waited for a chance to grab some food when the guys weren't around since they could not see paying almost $20 for a sandwich/pizza or any of the small snacks they offer. I have been dying to have a real nicoise salad and Nordstrom's Cafe Bistro has one. FInally last night after dropping my car off at Cadillac this was so convieniently located next door. Service is fabulous, after reading you can sub/add anything you want I made the salad my own. No tomatos or capers, therefor roasted corn, roasted peppers, avocado and extra cilantro on my nicoise. Also the dijon vinagrette on the side as well as the cilantro lime and ginger sesame. (I am a huge sucker for made in house dressings using my favorite ingredients, in this case cilantro/ginger) Now this was one hell of a salad, the chef was so nice with all my extra wishes, he arranged it beautifully and every bite was sheer bliss. The dijon was my least favorite, the ginger sesame perfect for the salmon and green beans, the cilantro lime was like a pesto and the best thing ever! Seriously I buy this by the gallon and put it on any and everything! It was pretty pricey at $14 but considering all the ingredients I had and how damn good it was I don't care what it costed. I could have happily eaten 5 more bowls of this but considering that would run me about $100 I better learn how to make this at home....

    Open kitchen concept!
    Gwen W.

    Upscale fast-casual. The dishes I saw coming from the open kitchen were full of color and looked really well-prepared and scrumptious. The space is clean and orderly. I'm not a regular to Nordstrom's, so I was glad this spot is easy to find. The Cafe isn't huge, but has plenty of tables to fill the space. I did relax and eat inside the Bistro. However, I knew I wasn't going to be a clean-plater, so I ordered it to-go. Servers were very nice and brought the food out to the table. Got the Turkey Bacon Club sandwich. Good meat. Love that the fresh, crisp green beans are mixed in with the fresh ripe smashed avocado. Their fries were fantastic. Hot, seasoned perfectly, soft centers, crisp edges. I'm not sure how much I agree with the $15 (and change) cost for the turkey, bacon, and avocado sandwich. The food was good, but not Northstar good. I guess, since their clientele tends to be upper-class, they can afford to ask for a higher price-point. At any rate, I can now mark this restaurant off my bookmarks.

    New booties!
    Kaya G.

    I have kissed and made out with over 30 Nordstrom's nationally this year... I cannot gush enough, love enought and be happier... I happened to visit this Nordstrom while their annual sale was still on, and I ended up getting some stuff and lo and behold, nothing less than outstanding - it was awaiting for my arrival in Miami Beach.... I am in love. And you will get the same review from me everywhere... .This was the only one that was a tad noisy and not a super clean shoe deparmentl, so not makes it a four, but who cares, I got the most precious booties, like EVA!!! And as always, the cafe was divine... Love my EBar.

    Shrimp cilantro salad
    Ana B.

    A really easy place to grab a quick and yummy lunch. I ordered a shrimp cilantro salad but wasn't expecting much and found I was very wrong. That salad was fresh, tasty, and delicious! The prices are very reasonable and there's a place to sit and have a good meal or a place to chill if you're waiting for take out. Highly recommended!

    Chocolate cake and white chocolate bread pudding
    Carolyn E.

    Bringing to mind the old days of elegant department stores with their little lunch counters and staff in heels and skirts, Cafe Bistro is a lovely little eating space on the second floor of Nordstroms, with dark toned decor, dim but pleasant lighting, and lots of modern elegance. I admit I'm not a big fan of the system by which ordering is done - grab a menu by the door, stand around a bit, then go to the counter. It keeps costs down, though, so that's fine by me. However, don't forget dessert - the menu is up by the cashier. And it was for dessert that my friend and I came based on her past experience. Now, I am sure the main courses are fine - they certainly sound delicious. But if you stop for nothing else, stop for the sweets. You can probably share one between two people, and doing over that might have been a better idea for us. However, it was hard enough to decide on just one for each of us, let alone one for both. We eventually decided on a piece of the white chocolate bread pudding and slice of chocolate cake with toffee and caramel. ...Yes, they're as good as they sound. The bread pudding was unfortunately a bit overcooked on the bottom on this trip, but still tasted amazing. As I've said before elsewhere, I'm not normally a fan of bread pudding, but I could be a fan of this. Thick, dense, and more like a pudding cake than the typical slimy stuff that makes me wary of this dessert, it is definitely worth the calories. The cake, meanwhile, is huge in size and consists of moist chocolate cake with layers of crunchy toffee and a semi-sweet not-too-thick icing dusted with toffee and cocoa, served on a bed of gooey smokey caramel sauce. I loved the combination of smooth cake with the crunchy toffee, and the caramel and chocolate blended very nicely together. Both were about $5.95 which is about average for this sort of dessert, and the quality was such I would say they were worth it. Cafe Bisto also has decent coffee - not super exceptional but definitely better than most restaurants. Overall, definitely worth stopping in upstairs for an upscale sweet treat when visiting Easton. I hope to get back at some point and give the actual food a go too. :)

    Caesar salad
    Q-Tay S.

    This hidden gem... every friend I've suggested this too had no idea there was cage on the 2nd floor of Nordstrom. I absolutely love the caesar salad here. It's my go-to dish. It's delightful. So fresh and served w/ a warm grilled chicken breast. The lemon on the side when squeezed adds a tart but refreshing taste to the dressing and overall salad. Price seems just a tad high. $11 salad? The chocolate mints they leave after your meal are divine too. I go to this spot all the time during solo mall trips or solo lunch dates.

    Wild Salmon & Herbed Mushroom Risotto
    John M.

    First time here and I ordered the wild salmon, hands down my favorite dish here! I was in heaven. I didn't care for the flat iron steak, I'm more of a ribeye kinda guy anyways. The spicy shrimp pasta was a little to spicy for Italian pasta dish at Nordstroms Cafe, but it was full of flavor. Chocolate cake was kinda rich and I thought it was a little dry. The short cake is really good. Asian salad is really good. Love the Bruschetta but ask for a second piece of bread with it. I have no clue why they don't give you two? I really want to try the French onion soup & crab bisque...

    Itty bitty crab, mango and avocado salad that was more like a tasting than a true meal. Unfortunately the cost was $$$

We visited yesterday around 3 PM after seeing the new Mario movie. We didn't have a reservation, but seating wasn't an issue at that time. As always, the restaurant was clean, lively, and welcoming. The staff was very kind, and our waitress was attentive throughout our visit. We ordered many of our usual favorites, but my entrée--the braised short rib--was not quite up to the standard I've come to expect. While the meat itself was still tender, moist, and flavorful, the risotto was disappointing. It lacked its usual creamy texture and was noticeably too thick. Additionally, the dish was served with only carrots as the root vegetable, whereas in the past it has included a variety of vegetables that really elevated the overall flavor and presentation. I was especially disappointed because this was actually the first time I remembered to take a photo of my meal before digging in. I came in fully intending to finally leave a glowing five-star review based on all of our previous great experiences--but unfortunately, this visit didn't live up to that expectation. This was surprising, especially given how consistently great this dish--and the restaurant overall--has been during our previous visits. We've dined here at least five times this year and even celebrated our son's third birthday here, so this experience felt out of character. One difference worth noting is that we typically visit for dinner, and this was our first time coming during the afternoon. It's possible there may be differences in the kitchen or service during that time. We do plan to return, as we're hoping this was just an off day. This place has earned a lot of goodwill from us over time, but we wanted to share this experience in case it's helpful for others.

This one didn't offer one, which was a general disappointment (and offering to be might benefit them-- the place was dead for most of the two hours we were there). The space is beautiful and luxurious: a lovely fountain is in the center and signature chandeliers fill the dining area. I was a little disappointed that the choices of seating were were given -- though the place was empty-- was either a very small table (so small our servers apologized for having to awkwardly stack things as dishes came out) or a table attached to the only other large party dining there. Felt like a very strange choice. Also, while the place is very upscale and very expensive, that vibe was somewhat at odds with other diners who did arrive in what literally looked like old pajama pants and workout gear. The food was all good, but portions are very small for the big prices: entrees are all in the $50 range, sandwiches in the $30 range. A "petite" baked potato (which is petite indeed) was $14; burrata was $26. It was fine, but you can have a true consistently upscale experience elsewhere for those kinds of prices. I'd come back -- if there was a happy hour!
