    Kung Pao Brussels Sprouts
    JoNate L.

    the ambiance is very casual yet a bit of chic and the service is top notch. We had the crab bisque, brussels sprouts, miso salmon and gem salmon ceasar.

    Another view of my delicious salad.

    I think I have found my new favorite lunch spot at Westfield Montgomery Mall. Ruscello is decorated in warm muted tones and comfortable seating. Thank you, Allison for your exceptional service. You were so kind and helpful. I got a fabulous salad. It had egg, bacon bits, avocado, heirloom tomatoes, and the best avocado lime dressing I have eaten in a long time. The salad comes with two warm tasty rolls that are pillowy soft and delicious. My salad was huge and I have plenty for leftovers. The prices were reasonable. So, great service, excellent food, and good prices. I will definitely be back.

    Lobster bisque
    Starr D.

    Had a great lunch at the cafe. Tasty food, nicely portioned, good service. The atmosphere of this cafe is more like a diner. Nothing fancy but comfortable. We had the steak barley soup, lobster bisque, calamari, heriloom tomatoes burrata salad, ravioli, turkey avocado sandwich, and penne bolognese pasta with chicken meatball. And we all enjoyed everything we ordered. Our server was attentive and courteous & price came out pretty reasonable. Definitely recommended by @WineDinenVacay

    Chicken tacos
    Annie A.

    This large cafe is inside Nordstrom, right past the womens section on the first floor. It is a sit down restaurant. It is a little more expensive than I expected, especially for lunch. It has a small but diverse menu; and I like that it lists the caloric amounts next to each item. The service was good, even though it was pretty busy in the afternoon. I came with a group of 4 and we got several appetizers- the cauliflower, burrata caprese and the chicken tacos. All of them were amazing but the portion sizes were on the smaller side. The tomatoes and Burrata were super fresh over top of pesto sauce and little crostinis. The cauliflower was nice and crispy but it did have a strong Tahini flavor. For the main meal, I ordered the cilantro salad with Atlantic salmon. There was a good amount of the cheese, pumpkin seeds and corn but I felt like it was missing something, tomatoes might have been good.

    A quite good French dip sandwich!

    Marketplace is a sit down restaurant inside Nordstrom's. And it's the only one in the area that does not serve beer or wine. Thanks MoCo laws. That shouldn't deter you in dining here. The menu hasn't really changed much. The French dip and pizzas are quite good here, same with their salads. They offer specials too, but it seems to be the same menu months ago. For one of their specials,don't get their korean beef tacos though, as it tastes nothing like marinated korean beef. We really enjoy their desserts! Their smith island cakes are fantastic, Same with their gelato too. The service here is pretty consistent, although finding them to pay the check can be trying and what's up with no utensils or napkins? Always consistent about refilling your drinks though.

    Nestled between the woman's shoes and undergarment section in Nordstrom at Montgomery Mall is a small alcoved restaurant, that attracts exactly sort of the clientele you are thinking a restaurant would, that is nestled in between the woman's shoes and undergarment section in Nordstrom at Montgomery Mall. And man, is this place the shiz. Now, it works like this: -You go up in line to the front counter and order your food with the cashiers. -The cashier will have you pay there and then go to sit at a table in the cafe with your billfold and receipt inside -A waiter will promptly come up and open the billfold to ensure that you get your food and drinks in a timely manner. (BRING CASH FOR TIP: truly the waiters earn it, and then some) The service here should earn another 5 stars. Each time I've been the waiters are so on point that its remarkable. Maybe because their dealing with my grandmother all day, and believe me Nan is bit particular. Or maybe, because the training is such that Nordstrom could sell their server education course and make quite a bit o bank. Either way, the service is bar none fantastic each time. The food ranges from salads, pizzas, sandwiches and pastas. Each meal is fairly priced, made with fantastically fresh ingredients, and the portion size is generous to say the least. Today I got the salad nicoise. The salmon was cooked perfectly and seasoned beautifully. The amount of potatoes, tomatoes, green beans, egg, and capers was spot on. The salad dressing was surely made in house. I would buy it if it came in a bottle. The tomato jam jar was freakin' delicious as well. An inch thick layer of ricotta cheese fills a small mason jar, layered on top with a basil pesto, and then a tomato jam. Freshly toasted crostini are served, and the combination of flavors works flawlessly. The server gets us more crostini as the jar is bountifully filled and never let's our drinks completely go out. Extra points go to Terrence! He was awesome ! Polite, just enough touches, friendly, just everything you want in a server. I've gotten the Chinese chicken salad which is güüd! The large turkey sandwich with avocado and bacon is on point ( albeit a little difficult to eat), and their clam chowder is a simple and tasty interpretation of a classic. Soup Du Jour today was a mushroom bisque, but I was trying to stay on the lighter side of life. If you're scratching your head thinking... "There's a restaurant inside of the Nordstrom at Montgomery Mall?!" You need to give your grandmother a call. First, tell you that you love her, and second invite her out to lunch. This one's on you though, Grandma pays for you enough! I love this little hideaway. A quieter and more refined take on eating at the mall is very much appreciated.

    Grilled Chicken & Spinach Alfredo
    Lina T.

    Nordstrom does it all, even food! Do not underestimate this restaurant, every item I have ordered has been delicious! You would be surprised to know that there can be a wait on weekends during brunch/lunch. The staff are great, their customer service is on par with what Nordstrom is known for :) On my last visit with a friend, we ordered two different dishes to split. My favorite dish on the menu, Cilantro Lime Chicken Salad and Grilled Chicken & Spinach Alfredo. The Cilantro Lime Chicken is very filling, despite being a salad. The salad has baby greens, lettuce, cheese, tomatoes, grilled corn, pumpkin seeds, lotssss of chicken and cilantro lime vinaigrette. I love the cilantro lime vinaigrette, very flavorful, but not overwhelming. I do not want to hype up the salad, but this is seriously my favorite salad! You have to try for yourself, I ended up making my friend fall in love with it too ;) The Grilled Chicken & Spinach Alfredo has pappardelle, baby spinach, roasted tomato, cheese and lotssss of chicken as well. My only gripe with the dish was that there was not enough pappardelle and too much chicken. I prefer my carb to meat ratio higher, but that is my personal preference. If you have not tried Marketplace Cafe, give it a try and you will not be disappointed! It is located on the first level of Nordstrom at Montgomery Mall right by women's athletic gear and shoes.

    Food is good, but service is decidedly lackluster. Expect a wait, even when there's no crowd.

    Black olives, tahini sauce, roasted cauliflower & feta
    Hana A.

    Nordstrom Café it's been a while! I've had wonderful experiences and will never forget their amazing goat cheese - arugula - apple salad (rip). Anywho- my family and I were greeted and seated quickly upon entering. It was nice to see some updates to the menu and our server suggested the berry lemonade which I ordered right away. My mom and sister ordered a cup of tomato soup (classic) and I ordered the tahini/olive/cauliflower to start with. It went a little downhill from here. We all know the soup is already made you just have to pour it in it's respective bowl/cup. My lemonade came & then my app made an appearance soon after. But where's the soup? Our server was nowhere to be found and we had to flag down someone else to get the soup for us. When the gentleman brought it over he confirmed that our server forgot about it. We were off to a slow start- everything up until this point tasted great and we kept trucking along. My sister and I shared the Korean beef tacos (entree) as well as the chicken tacos (appetizer). My mom ordered the salmon (her go-to). The plates started rolling in but pretty delayed with the salmon coming last. Appetizers Tomato soup is always a hit! Chicken tacos - so good ! Two small crispy shell tacos but packed with chicken and toppings, great to start with. Tahini cauliflower olive "dip"- meh it was OK I probably wouldn't order it again. Entrees Korean beef tacos -YUMMMM soo good wish the tacos were BIGGER. It comes with sliced avocado and a bunch of lettuce that they could probably do without. Salmon on cous cous, sadly the salmon was over cooked. The berry lemonade was REALLY GOOD, I also ate all the fruit that was floating around my drink =) I believe that the food and service will vary by location . Over all our server was lovely but was very delayed in bringing our dishes, I would probably visit a different location in the future.

    I came to the mall during the week day to do some shopping. I didn't feel like eating at the food court so I stopped by this cafe inside of Nordstrom. Every time I come shopping during the weekend, this restaurant always look busy. I decided to be seated because it wasn't busy. It's a restaurant that you can be seated or to order and go by the front register. I was surprised by their menu, it had all American gourmet dishes at a reasonable price. I ended up ordering the Asian chicken salad and tomato soup. The salad was good with a light vinaigrette and the chicken was tender. The mandarin oranges gave it a hint of sweetness. The tomato soup was amazing. It was creamy and flavorful. I ended up buying a jar they were selling to take home to make later. The service was a bit slow. The restaurant wasn't busy maybe only 2-3 tables were occupied. When the food came, there was no utensils and I had to wait for the server to help another customer. It also took her a long time to close out the check. Overall, I had a positive experience beside the slow service.

    I'm obviously not a child but they let me order the kids chicken tenders. It's three chicken tenders and its very very delicious. The meal comes with a drink I opted for milk too bad they didn't have skim had to take whole milk. Also came with awesome chips, and a small cup for fruit for under $6. I'm not sure how this works but you pay first even if you want to sit at a table and someone delivers the food to you. The kids meal was so good I'm definitely coming back to try a real entree from here, a few things looked good like the Chinese Chicken Salad, steak chimichurri, and the cilantro lime chicken salad. P.S Pretty sure they have free WIFI here I saw a lot of people at tables with their laptops out so maybe this is a good quiet spot to study, do work or even yelp from!

    French Dip Sandwich well done. The "dip" tasted like they mixed it with balsamic vinegar. (Won't be ordering it again)

Glenwood delivered that excellent dinner this week and it deserves all the stars I can muster up. I had the Ahi Tuna Salad. Delicious, fresh, crispy, and with some of the best sushi-grade tuna I have ever put in my mouth. It was a great entree salad and this is the 2nd time I have had it. You know what, there will definitely be a 3rd time too. But, the diva of this meal was definitely what my spouse got. The incredible, edible rotisserie chicken pot pie!!! OMG this dish was crazy good, so good that I wish I had made it. The crust was the best crust I have ever had in my entire life bar none. It was crisp, flavorful and a little bit doughy. Its taste was great all by itself. But let there be no doubt - the filling was top notch too. Creamy, luxurious with crisp, fresh vegetables and big hunks of rotisserie chicken. It was the BEST! Thank God my spouse shared some with me because it was life changing (ok maybe that's a bit dramatic but you get my drift). The service matched the food. Erika was our server. She was so bubbly, friendly, helpful, smart and hard working. Glenwood is not a haute cuisine restaurant but the service we got from Erika matched the best restaurant service anywhere. That woman can do anything anywhere. I would hire her in a minute. Glenwood is one of those places that has hit its stride and I'm damn glad that I stumbled upon it. I highly recommend - NO - I demand that you go to Glenwood immediately. You will not be disappointed.

    Went here on a whim today, and had a great time!!…read more The interior was really clean, the burger I ordered was tasty, and the service was wonderful. One of the hosts was kind enough to open the front door for my grandfather who needs a cane to walk, and our server Tyler was very attentive. Will definitely be back!!

    Consistent. Great Music. Great Food. Great Customer Service.Distinctive Cocktails…read more The Lamb Bolognese is the best pasta dish that I've had this year at a restaurant and it's only $16 at lunch time. House-made noodles and topped with Sourdough garlic toast. Two lunch entrees and a cocktail ran me $52 dinero! I took the seafood gumbo to go for lunch the next day. It was pretty good; although I don't care for mussels in my gumbo (It's a me problem) I had this blueberry spritzer that was semi-sweet and very potent. The next thing I want to try for the Fall weather is The Spiced Pear Sour cocktail. And I learned about an amazing Brazilian artist by the name of Marcia Maria.
