    Burrata and polenta fries
    Kasey G.

    Great happy hour in Nordstrom mall! It's nice to shop and be able to get a quick bite and a drink. I truly enjoyed the burrata bruschetta and the polenta fries, and my wine was only $6. Cheap quick meal and hit the spot. Great people watching as well.

    "Burrata" (except not actually burrata it's just fresh mozzarella) and tuna.
    Marcie S.

    I love that there is a bar in Nordstrom! Let's be honest - cocktails and shopping? Hardly anything beats it. The location and vibe is spot on, and the servers are always super friendly. My three star review is a result of the price (most cocktails are ~$20) and the food (which is lackluster). My friend and I ordered the Burrata. And I'm not sure what we got - but it was definitely not Burrata. Burrata is a yummy ball of mozzarella cheese with yummy gooey cheesiness on the inside. We did not get this. We got 3 *very small* pieces of fresh mozzarella (size of a quarter), 6 pieces of bread, and a boatload of tomatoes. It was definitely more of a Caprese salad. I asked the server if we received the right thing, as typically burrata would imply a mostly cheese based dish (not a few slices of regular mozzarella), and he informed me this is how their burrata is. Then he looked closer and agreed it was definitely lacking cheese. He brought us a side plate with more fresh mozzarella which was nice, but it really wasn't what we were expecting. I'll be back again because you can't beat a bar inside Nordstrom, but next time I'll skip the food.

    Delicious Drinks and wonderful service ! I really enjoyed walking around Nordstrom and bumping into this bar in the middle of the store. The server was wearing a mask and ensured customers were seated far part. The bar seating is temporarily closed. However, there is plenty of seating surrounding the bar. Upon our arrival our server greeted us, walked us to a clean table top by the TV, and handed us the cocktail menu. My boyfriend and I ordered couple of hand crafted cocktails: a mimosa, Amelia, and Smoke and Heat. We both agreed they were yummy and all the cocktail choices look amazing. We felt safe,comfortable, and relaxed ! We truly had an amazing time.

    Currently sitting here on a crowded, short-staffed day so thought I'd bring some positivity- I love this place! If you order only one thing, get the Vine Street (vodka, rosé, lime, mint, grape, and prosecco). I've never had something with three different alcohols be so smooth and refreshing! The service is wonderful, bartenders are always so great; they are friendly and welcoming without being pushy or fake. I've visited several times across the tears and they always provide consistent service! The setting...a bar in a Nordstrom. I have said it all. They are dark, twisted, brilliant, and kind for putting this place in however many years ago they did. I have only tried the deviled eggs (cage free, with maple/bacon) but they were great! A great snack when you need some shopping fuel. The prices are also perfectly fair, something that honestly surprised me at first. A Vine Street is currently $14 and the eggs are $8. I love having this spot around and hope it stays 5ever!

    Very unexpected little bar in the middle of Nordstrom. If you need a mid-shopping trip pick-me-up, this is a great spot. Nice happy hour drink options. We got the Vine Street and Billionaire cocktails. I LOVED the Vine Street drink- very light and fresh but still strong. We did not get any food, but they had some small bites that sounded good.

    This concept is brilliant, a bar in the middle of one of America's largest retail store. I would go here if I'm shopping at Nordstrom and need a place to sit down. Or if I work at the mall & need a break from dealing with customer service. It's small & intimate here, better than going to a restaurant to me if you're looking for a quick place to hang out at. Full bar & snacks/appetizers which does get you full if you order enough small plates. Surprisingly the food was decent enough to have me come back. I thought it was just a convenient type of deal, but their cilantro lime chicken tacos were a hit. 4 small hard shell tacos with great flavors. Great service as expected being located inside Nordstrom! Tell me about your experience if you've been here or is going to after reading this review:)

    Happy Hour menu

    On the second floor, located at the middle section of Nordstrom by the escalators, (Bellevue location) there is a wonderful oasis to quench your thirst and satisfy your snack hankerings named Habitant. It's a place to loosen up before shopping your heart out. Have a martini or a nice glass of red blend. Shopping can be so much more fun after relaxing for a moment. A word of caution: I only recommend starting here if you are very aware of your spending limits otherwise this is a danger zone - um which is what a little bird told me. Gene is usually the bartender. He is friendly, can make a solid old fashioned, and can recommend a cocktail if nothing on the menu sings to your whim of the moment. The happy hour is decent. A glass of Chardonnay is $5. The pour is generous. I took a picture for your viewing pleasure. I enjoy a quick drink while eyeballing the Madewell merchandise just a few steps away.

    This bar was the best idea Nordstrom ever had. There's nothing like a quick bite to eat and drink to get you in the mood to shop. I like that there are table snacks if you just want something to pad your drink, and also items like polenta fries if you are looking for something a little more substantial without being completely unhealthy. The servers here are really nice and are always racing around - I believe they make the drinks for the Grill restaurant inside the Nordstrom, too. Most recently I brought my best friend's mom here to pamper her before our pre-sale shopping experience. She had a wonderful time and we three ladies found lots of great products to purchase after having proseccos here with the polenta fries. This is how every shopping experience should go.

    Polenta and Hummus
    Sin-Yaw W.

    This is a bar inside of Bellevue Nordstrom. At the other corner, there is a restaurant, also inside of Nordstrom. Eat there, but have a drink and a snack here. My "Billionaire" cocktail was Maker's Mark based. My companion had a "craft Vodka" based cocktail. Both were excellently made and delicious. We had a hummus and fried Polenta. Both had excellent presentation and taste delicious. Soon, we were smiling and chattery and felt happy. The waiter/bartender had the right balance of attentiveness at a distance. Several people were watching football games. Shoppers bumped into friends and had a spontaneous conversation. This is what made Nordstrom. Nice.

    Grilled watermelon salad
    Wennie H.

    Incredible service. My sister is pregnant and due any minute, so I'm in town to help. Help means walk around the mall. We stopped in with sort of low expectations only because it's a bar in the middle of Nordstrom. We love Nordstrom's though, so I think we knew it wouldn't be terrible. My sister asked if they could do something with pineapple and they made her a pineapple soda with fresh pineapple juice and brought her a refill too. We ordered: 1. grilled watermelon salad- different but amazing. The watermelon came with char marks and was still warm, it was perfectly sweet and the prosciutto was the perfect about of salty, the mozzarella and balsamic made the perfect bite. 2. chicken lime and cilantro tacos- really good! The chicken was flavorful and the diced tomatoes and peppers were great additions. I don't like crunchy taco shells and I liked this dish a lot. 3. smoked salmon and creme fraiche crostini's- not bad, I wasn't a huge fan but they weren't bad. I'm not a fan of pickled onion or capers but I will admit they worked well in this. 4. frites- we had been expecting fries since frites typically translate to fries everywhere else we've been. It wasn't a huge deal, the frites were good. Warm, a little too salty but still good. Service was impeccable. Prompt, friendly, helpful. Everything you would want and then some. In true Nordstrom fashion, we got our end of the meal sticks of chocolate too.

From the moment we sat down, we were greeted by one of the friendliest bartenders I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. He asked about our evening, whether we were celebrating anything special, and genuinely made us feel valued. His service and cocktails were top-notch. He took the time to understand what we liked, offered thoughtful recommendations, and every drink was excellent. On top of that, two different servers stopped by to check on us and let us know they were available if we needed anything while the bartender was busy. That level of teamwork and attentiveness really stood out. What started as a quick nightcap turned into a much longer stay because of how welcoming and enjoyable the atmosphere was. The staff truly made the experience. Highly recommend -- and I'm very much looking forward to coming back.

The menu shows off many colorful fruit flavored carbonated beverages all of which sound delicious. Sometimes its really good and addicting. Other times ive been, ive gotten a few drinks that were flat and very bland flavor as if they skipped adding some of the listed flavors. I dont fully understand why. The concept is simple, they use soda and add a scoop of fruit pulp, a pump or so of syrup, and a sprinkle of dried fruit bits. I could be wrong, but I feel like i noticed they use large bottle of the carbonated drink to pour many drinks, but they go flat over time. Which means some people will get flat drinks. On my last visit i ordered several drinks. One was bland and flat.I tried to get them to remake my flat drink, but they warned me it would still be flat. I insisted as my other drinks we had taste better having more carbonated spark and sweet juicy flavors. They remade it using the same bottle of soda and it was just as flat and bland the second time so I just tossed the drink and sipped on my families drinks that tasted amazing. Idk if i would recommend this location as it seems to be so hit or miss. Maybe just make sure they use fresh soda and also that they give you all the mentioned flavors. Hey, maybe on my last visit they just ran out of flavor and fresh soda and didnt want to tell me. When they make it right, its absolutely worth a try.

Their…read morerefreshments are flavored with real fruit and don't include any added sugar, making them a healthy alternative to sodas, with much more pizazz than just a can of sparkling water. Nine enticing creations make up their menu, all of them being fruity and vibrant in color. Ordering is very simple on the kiosk as you just select your drink and also choose an Adaptogen, which is their version of a health "boost". A few of the Adaptogens are free of cost (I selected the immunity one), but other more premium options will cost a dollar or two extra. According to the staff member, most of the Adaptogens are flavorless. All drinks are $7 each and only come in one size. I've visited on two different occasions and both times, my seltzer was ready in just a couple minutes. + PINEAPPLE BREEZE: A refreshing combination of pineapple purée, passion fruit purée, freeze-dried passion fruit and a thin slice of dried pineapple. Both fruity flavors were balanced; I could taste the bright pineapple and the juicy tropical passion fruit. The seltzer was crisp and perfect to enjoy in the Seattle sun. The freeze-dried passion fruit dissolved over time, strengthening the intensity of its flavor with each sip. + RUBY REFRESHER: This drink included cherry purée in addition to lychee. The menu stated that it also includes coconut, but the employee who helped us said that they have never added coconut to the drink, so I'd suggest that they update the description. Additionally, she said that they were out of the actual lychee fruit which would have otherwise been placed on top, so she substituted with some freeze-dried strawberries. This said, the drink strayed from what was displayed on the menu, but it was still good. The cherry flavor tasted very natural and the lychee flavoring brought a juicy sweetness. With this being located within the Lincoln Food Hall, these seltzers are somewhat of a splurge, but are the perfect addition to round out any meal.

Sat at the bar and tried out some happy hour specials. Got the Korean sauce wings ($12) and cheese truffle fries ($8). Decent amount of fries, definitely has cheese flavor but not that much truffle oil aroma. I liked the wings which you get 6 per order. They weren't fried, but rather tender and juicy. Sauce was agreeable. Definitely enough food for my dinner. As for the drinks, I got the rosemary mule which is Moscow mule with some rosemary herb. The copper mug they use is good sized. Tasted refreshing although could feel the alcohol afterwards. Also tried a corpse reviver no. 2, which was a little sweet but has a punch. Cocktail prices are not cheap outside of happy hour, in the upper teens. Overall, was glad I tried the place out. Will drop by for happy hour once in a while.
