Marketplace Café

Food never fails to please my taste buds. Service is great. In the summer time it’s nice to sit outside and have lunch with a view. The desserts are yum!!! And I like how I can have a glass of wine or beer to pair with my lunch or dinner.

I personally love eating here. When someone asks me where to meet up for lunch and I say here … yes exactly I get silence. They say really? YES! REALLY! They have some of the best seasonal salads and their pasta dishes are as or not better than any Italian restaurants, i’ve been to. They also have unique and amazing sandwiches.
Also did i mention that they serve wine & beer?
Today hubby had the Swordfish with Spanish chorizo & white beans. He enjoyed the dish so much that I seriously thought he was going to lick the plate! Haha
I chose the penne Bolognese with spicy sausage in a creamy red sauce. It was amazing ! I wished I had ordered another portion for dinner… that’s how yummy it was.
We chose to share the white cake with raspberry filling rolled in coconut shavings. Omg! Delicious!
Took home the pear bar & seasonal tort. From what my «Adult «children tells me is the fruit on the tort was excellent but the cream portion lacked real flavor and just seemed to be missing something. The Pear bar was a hit. They all agreed it was yummy.
Next time you’re walking around the Tyler Galeria Mall, and become hungry seriously try out the Nordstrom Café. It’s located in their store on the 3^rd floor next to the Brass Plum department.

Great place, good service, sometime slow but they are busy,
What will you expect for when busy, right?
I love their omelet.
Free wifi. Nice and quite.
chocolate cake is super super rich but love it.

I’m really disappointed in Nordstorms Café quality lately… I’ve been coming here for 12 years and in the last 3 years it went from them changing the crostini almost every few months. To recently changing their breads entirely. The reason why I would always bring people here is because of the quality of the food. I was really bummed out that now the quality the Chicken Club is now poor. It just looks and taste cheap… I wish they would go back to the old ways of spending high quality money for their products. I notice the only thing that changed for the better was when they went from the kids Kraft Mac n cheese to better Mac n cheese but even their chicken strips for kids taste like frozen food and it was also soggy when my friends kid had it. Bring back the quality in your food and I’ll come back but I was embarrassed for ranting about how good you guys are and cuz I’ve been going for years than to go and it was disappointing.

Went here for lunch for the first time!
Ordered Tuscan salmon with veggies and it was awesome!!! Everything was cooked perfection and seasoned well! Salmon was great and i love how they made the salmon skin so perfectly crispy!!!
Only complain… a little bit pricey. $ 16 for a decent size of salmon, one carrot, one zucchini, half red bell pepper, 3 pieces of potatoes, and half corn cob.

Best food in town. Santa Fe chicken sandwich is the best sandwich around. I always come here when I get dragged to the mall.

I was totally disappointed this past Sunday with this place. I ordered a special chicken peach salad. when it was served, it was missing the chicken! the person who recommended it to me, had to go check their menu when I said something. finally I was brought a few pieces of cold thin chicken. their menu sounded fabulous. the price 12.95! NOT a good deal!
not going back!

Excellent food!!! I love the daily specials, and they have breakfast available all day too.

My daughters like having lunch here… soooo much better than dreadful food court dining. Tasty sandwiches, delicious soups, friendly service… but it always takes a really long time for food to arrive, even when we get there before the lunch rush. And, it could be a LOT cleaner. Tables, floors, silverware and glasses *all* could be a lot more clean. Did I mention it could be cleaner? I really would be so willing to pay a few dollars more for a more elevated experience-​I like to be pampered when shopping, and chasing after the server to get a clean fork is not my idea of pampering.

I hate how small the portions are, I am a big salad eater and they don’t have one good salad.
The food is good but I feel like it’s over priced.
Not bad for a quick lunch but don’t be super hungry or you will need to order a lot.

I would give this a 5 star if the service was better. I love the cilantro lime dressing and could drink it if they gave me enough !!

Nordstrom never fails me with their customer service and the Café is not exception!
I had the most delicious salad in a long time, Maytag Blue Cheese and Pear with caramel pecans and a cherry balsamic dressing. The drink I ordered wad a Pinot Grigio, splash of soda with cherry cucumber and mint. Very refreshing!
Service was good; fast and friendly helpful waitress/​waiters/​counter host.
Great quiet, relaxing place for lunch at the weekend when shopping at the mall.

I LOVE having lunch at the café.
This was my second time dining at this particular location and their service is horrible. I waited for a server for 30 min meanwhile people who continued to arrive were being helped.
Finally someone came to my rescue and my lunch was served. Cold pasta isn’t my cup of tea. Needless to say I won’t be returning but will continue to dine at my regular locations (Main Place & South Coast).

Ok. I love Nordie’s café. Something’s have changed but all good. This time it was ok. My salad had dressing on it. Got returned. Started eating it and found a hair in it. All good. It happens to me literally all the time. The chief came out. Travis. Told me just tell the cashier what happened to me and they will comp my food. Really?!! I need no proof?.. So I asked for a card. He gave me the general managers card. I asked him if I need a signature. Travis said no. A few moments later. Another manager heavier set Hispanic fellow. Nice. Just told me he was gonna give back my money. Coo. That actual made it better cause I did leave a little hungry but was happy that the other manager acknowledged me and helped me out. I love Nordie’s. And that’s why I will come back. Thanks for being nice.

I called in and ordered the Chicken Tomato Alfredo on September 19^th 2014.
I asked to pack all the ingredients on the side because of driving time to get to home to serve the food. I checked my order to make sure that nothing was missing.
For my surprise, they packed my food as they received from their supplier. The chicken and the pasta were in it’s original plastic packing, not warmed, pretty cold. The spinach was uncooked.
That was big surprise for me that I have been ordering pre cooked food and they only warm it out to serve to their customers. I felt that there was no difference between Ralph’s the grocery chain and Nordstrom. Oh~~the only difference was the price. Since then, I stopped going to Nordstrom café. What about their cook book? As far as I know they have couple different edition of their cook book. I even have one. Can I trust?

My Spicy Thai Shrimp salad was tongue twisting mouth watering fabulous. Crunchy nuts and crisp carrot sweetened the deal. I washed it all down with a hot steamy cup of Green Tea Tropical. It was a spiritual food journey worthy of another trip. The catch of the day was our server Tanya! Now for the finishing touch, the Chocolate Mousse Cake that sent me to the moon. If I am not back in an hour my power nap went into overdrive.

I’ve had my fair share of dining at Nordstrom Café. I know food is good and I know service is excellent.
This was my first time ever at this café. I ordered my chicken club sandwich at the counter, sat at a table and waited for my food. Good was excellent as always. My chicken club was packed with bacon, avocado and tomatoes along with spring mix lettuce. It was accompanied with kettle cooked chips. I ate the whole thing and I was stuffed. The cookie I ordered with my meal was also delicious. Moist and full of chocolate chips, macadamia nuts and coconut.
My waiter was pleasant but he did the bare minimum. Brought my water, brought my food and took my plate. Nothing out of the ordinary. I’m used to my waiter striking up a convo or making jokes. That’s just me. Prices are a little high but that’s what you get for a quality meal. This won’t deter me from eating here in the future. I’ll be back:)

EXCELLENT SERVICE as always and exceptional meals that I never hesitate to try. Yet, I confess I am a creature of habit. Their Chinese Chicken Salad is my favorite of any restaurant. I love getting to sample my friends’ plates though. They always have perfect desserts to accompany our meals. I am so sorry that I can’t recall our server’s name but he was superb!!! We dined in near the patio window around 2 today. Nordstrom is so consistently exceptional and always a wonderful shopping AND dining experience my friends and I love!

I’m not sure when their menu changed, but it’s definitely changed for the better. They have a pretty large menu now, a bunch of sandwiches, plenty of desserts for every taste, a few substantial salads, some pastas, some entrees. I love this place now haha. My family came here so much and lately I’ve been voting against having dinners here since their menu never changed, but they have some amazing sounding things that I want to try now :-) I had the mushroom ravioli and it was soooo good. I love mushrooms and it was mushroom-​y enough, I’m also crazy about sun dried tomatoes, I put them in everything and they had some in the sauce, so yummy. And as usual, still one of the best tomato bisque around, glad they didn’t change that. This place is definitely worth checking out if you’ve never been.

It may not be the cheapest of lunches, but it certainly is up there with the best and most satisfying. We keep coming back for more.
I love the salads. I have had the Chinese Chicken Salad, and also a Cilantro Lime Chicken Salad. Filled with goodies and finished with excellent dressings, I cannot find anything wrong with them. Superb.
And Mr. B cannot get enough of the Angel Hair Pasta with Salmon and Asparagus. To me, fish entrees can be either good or really bad. This one is excellent. The salmon is cooked to perfection. And while the serving size looked on the small side, it turns out it was quite filling. He even brought home leftovers.
They will also bring slices of the freshest, warm sourdough bread and pats of salty sweet butter. Mouth wateringly addictive.
The menu is limited to one page of creative dishes that offer hot entrees, two soup choices, sandwiches and salads. And they have specials.
Dare I also say, the dessert case looks really tempting too.
Nice choices of high end beverages, if you cannot live on water alone.
The final piece de resistance? The cute little minty chocolate stick to tickle your taste buds after eating their wonderful food. Free.
And the service and venue? Classy yet relaxed.
I would have never imagined a department store could do food so well. Was I ever wrong!
