Do not even think about eating at the food court...come here instead! The cafe is on the 3rd floor of Nordstrom at FSM. A little out of the way, but totally worth it.
You are presented with sample dishes in a classic refrigerator case. Orders are placed with the staff behind the counter and they give you any pre-prepared items (like soup, or dessert) for you to carry to your table. A server brings your meal and drinks when ready.
Because of previous reviews I got the tomato soup. There's a reason they sell it in to-go bottles people...its creamy and smooth and well seasoned. In short, deelish.
I also ordered a beef dip sandwich. All the things that can go wrong with that sandwich went really really right! Bread was crunchy without being hard to bite into, dipping au jus in a proper bowl (I hate when the bowl is too small to dip). Kettle chips on the side.
Couldn't pass up the brownie for dessert. Huge square of chewy chocolatey goodness.
Way to go Nordstrom. I'll be back for all my shopping fuel needs.
