Located on the Nordstrom's 3rd floor this might be an alternate to the spots nearby which do get slammed on peak hours. The space is clean and has an open inviting feel. The menu is geared towards a break from shopping for a lighter meal and drink or two.
The crab bisque caught my eye (the one served at the Nordstrom's cafe in the bay area having nostalgic value) and ordered the burger as well.
The service is OK but does have gaps even though the place was mostly empty. I went through the wine list in case I revisit and found it to be decent.
The bisque bowl was a decent sized serving with nice little chunks of crab meat. Creamy finish and I brought up the spice with black pepper.
The burger itself was ho hum and little above what one would get at a fast food chain. I didn't like kalmata aioli and had to ask for ketchup. The fries are done well here and worth a try for sure.
If you want to get away from the other mundane offerings in the mall or don't want to wait for eons this place is a decent alternate and from the looks of it well hidden secret.
