Cafe Bistro

"We found this place while looking for my wife’s birthday gift. Sort of out of the way in a corner on the second floor of Nordstroms. We had hamburgers and fries. We really liked the ambience and quiet. The burgers where grilled to perfection and the fries are seasoned with rosemary and a unique dipping sauce was included. Fresh and high quality ingredients, good service made for an enjoyable experience."

"Despite the appetizer being rather tasty, it took a while before we received our food even though we were one of the only customers in the cafe. The prices reminded me of airport dining. The portion sizes, the service, and the wait time did not match the cost. This being in a mall, I'd go elsewhere. 3/10"

"I love having lunch here when I visit the mall. The atmosphere is quiet so you can have a conversation. The decor is tasteful and the food is always good. It reminds me of when I was a kid and big department stores always had a restaurant inside. I remember when the now just a memory Jordan Marsh had a restaurant in the same building on an upper level with windows looking out of the parking lot and Route 128. I always felt that made a day of shopping at the mall seem more special. The crab bisque is delicious and on my recent visit there was a special on the menu....batter fried cauliflowerettes with General Gao (?) dipping sauce. It was amazing. I hope they will have this often. What is a little different here is that you choose what you want at the reception desk before you go sit down. You pay for it right then. But then you do have a server so don't forget to tip!"

"I've been here for two occasions and both experiences were great. They hosted a special wine dinner one night with a 5 course meal paired with appropriate wines. Items included a crab avocado salad, deviled eggs, and pears poached in port wine. My wife and I came here another time for lunch, she ordered a sandwich and I had a salad. The salad was fresh and very flavorful. Their french fries are seasoned with rosemary and often served with a kalamata aioli dipping sauce. Service was good and the atmosphere is very comfortable. When we visited for lunch we placed our order first, then got seated. Food was fantastic and would definitely go again."
