    We’ve eaten at Bazille many times and never had such a terrible experience. We ate outside and sat near a table with 5 or 6 uncontrolled kids whose behavior was terrible! Yelling, moving furniture etc. We should’ve left!! The parents did nothing about any of it. The restaurant was much busier than usual with many kids inside and outside. The fish and chips was cold and the entire experience was memorably awful!

    There were only one or two other tables in use while we were there around 6 on a Thursday. Despite the eerily quiet and empty dining room, the food was acceptably priced and pretty good overall. Staff was friendly and accommodating.

    Food was "good " but a bit overpriced Service was the WORST--no-one came to our table for 15 minutes--waiters walked by but not one looked at us. When I told the front desk, a waiter finally came to take our orders. They did not refill our Tea /water and one waiter asked if "everything ok" as he was Walking By!!!--did not even take a moment to stand and give us a moment to answer. I also told the front desk it was my Daughter's 16th birthday and the waiter was not made aware. So disappointed--love Nordstrom sit down restaurant but will continue to go to Fashion Valley location--this was terrible experience--so sad.

    The brussel sprouts were amazing! The waitresses and hostess were very nice, engaging, friendly, and efficient. We also had the portabello mushroom house special, the salmon house special, and the fish and chips. The food was very good.

    We especially love the cooking at this location: chicken tacos, French Dip, cheeseburger, Caesar salad, and ricotta lemon cookie are faves, and this patio and dining room is roomy & perfect -- but it's the staff and service that bring us in when we're down from LA. You can't go wrong with any of them: Courtney, Chris, Kat, Sophia, Eddie (even if he's at the Fashion Valley Nordstrom's now) -- everyone there makes your meal easy, yummy, and addictive. Keep up the good work, gang!

    I love Bazille. This was the first time that I had dinner there and it was very nice but an unusual evening because of the storm. It was probably quieter than usual. The food is always excellent but last night topped all meals. I had the French dip/prime rib and my husband had the Halibut fish and chips (pretty pricey) but turned out it was excellent. The fries are always my favorite. Service was good. Although they close early and were stacking chairs around us. This was very annoying so I recommend not going later than 5:30 p.m.

    So disappointed in the new kung pow Brussels sprouts. So hot and spicy 🌶 it ruined the rest of our meal. Had great soups then got our entrees , had a few bites of Brussels and my granddaughter was crying and we were all 🥵 burning up. I yelled for milk and we couldn’t even eat our food. Couldn’t talk just paid and left . Nothing like that should be served without a strong warning and certainly not to a child. Awful. Wasted our entire evening. We felt so bad for our 12 year old. Us too! Miserable heat made us literally ill. We normally are big fans of this restaurant. Loved the food but this was a nightmare.
