The food is good, usually reliable. On this occasion, the kitchen didn't provide the tasty cracker that usually accompanies the $23 salad. The beef atop the salad was flavorful and cooked to our liking. Server was detached, though they did check on us once before bringing the bill. Nordstrom usually provides a small chocolate with the bill, but we didn't get tat, either. I don't know if they've stopped altogether with the crackers-with-salad and chocolate-with-check, but we miss the little things. Not sure I'll return.

The music is WAAAY TOO LOUD and it caters to a single (early twenty-something) generation... It reminds me of a disco. This is NOT a relaxing experience like it would be at the Nordstrom Cafe in Tukwila, South Center. Ugh..

Worst service ever! Happened to stop on a Friday during the holidays and stood in a very long line because they only had 1 cashier taking orders. She was completely incompetent and did not know how to operate the pos. Restaurant management at its worst.

Awesome Brunch!!! We enjoyed the Frittata with vegestables, seared fingerling potatoes and fresh side salad. Was surprised at how fresh and well prepared it was and savored every bite! Also tried the monkey bread pastry which was delicious. Hot drip coffee was really really good. Was busy, well staffed with great service!
Delicious salads, beverages, desserts. We were celebrating a birthday, and it was the perfect environment for catching up with long-time friends. Our server was very knowledgeable and patient with us. I've never had a dish at Nordstrom Grill that wasn't spectacular.

My family has eaten in this 3rd floor cafe for years. On this recent visit the restaurant has had some updating, more tables added and more cozy booths. You no longer have to order and cary your drinks and silverware to a table. Now you order and everything is brought to your table by waitstaff. After our food was served we were not checked on again. No water refills. Our food was delicious. We cleaned our plates.

Wow! Had a green goddess salad with roasted cauliflower at the Marketplace Cafe and was blown away. Delicious, hearty, healthy. Atmosphere is nothing special, but I do like how the service works. Order and pay then sit and the food comes when ready. Just walk away when you are done.

It looks more like a glorified cafeteria and the food to matchThe soup was room, temperature, and the pasta under season and flavor less. The meatballs, what the definition of BLAND.Which is so sad because this used to be a convenient and consistently above average place

The Grill used to be a special place to dine. It has become transactional. The serving staff couldn't care less, the host's greeting was lukewarm, and we hadn't finished eating before the bill was placed on the table. The food was ok. The service was disappointing.
TOO NOISY!! It's usually "energetic" but last night was too much. The kitchen was backed up and our server gave us 20% off just in sheer disorganization. Been a customer a REALLY long time but not sure it's worth it anymore.

I'd rather not write this but after two less than great meals in a row, I'm going to say something has really changed. Food quality has deteriorated. In the course of a week, I've had a chewy terrible steak and the mushy weirdly textured shrimp. Service was as always, excellent.

The Tomato and fresh burrata/pesto salad was delicious. It had a wonderful, rich, balsamic vinegar, dressing, My companion ordered the crispy chicken sandwich and it was absolutely delicious. The food is outstanding. I would dine here again and will.
