So good! I come here just for lunch sometimes without even shopping, its that good. Im not sure I've ever eaten "department store food" but it doesn't sound appealing to me. Nordstroms cafe is great, tons of healthy fare like salads and soup (umm tomato basil, hello my fave!) but great sandwiches, pasta and pastries. and i love that they have every meal on display for you to see. (nothing like something coming out that you envisioned totally wrong) And the prices are very good in my opinion, usually 10-14 a plate, especially considering you're eating on the strip.
PS theres beer and wine too!
