    Unfortunately they were short on servers. We had to ask for napkins & silverware twice AFTER we got our soup! Soup & salad was yummy.

    Great lunch while shopping at Ruscello. The daily flatbread was pepperoni and mushroom and my friend and I shared that for lunch along with a salad. A welcome respite from the busy store.

    The restaurant closed early at 5 pm on my reservation date and reservation time for 5:15 pm. I was sent a text the prior day to confirm the reservation. HOWEVER, I was not contacted regarding the cancellation. WASTED MY TIME FOR THIS RESERVATION! WILL NEVER BE A PATRON IN THE FUTURE!!!!!!

    We went about an hour after they opened. The tomato soup came out just like-warm which means they both aren’t making it fresh; and they aren’t heating it up properly. I ordered a chicken salad which was advertised as a roasted chicken, it was not, it was grilled. On bowl of soup, an appetizer, one salad, and a sandwich was $75 very very unimpressed. Would not recommend.

    We were seated promptly but without serving utensils or menus. Getting service, menus, utensils, giving an order, paying... well actually every aspect of dining here was a hardship in the guest. I haven't worked that hard to be served food in awhile. Good luck Nordstrom on fixing that mess.

    Had no idea this place existed inside Nordstrom Perimeter Mall. A wonderful ladies who lunch place with absolutely fantastic food! The little Gem Caesar was outstanding, with actual real grilled chicken on top. My friend had the Margarita pizza which was also Fantastic. We were both blown away. Cannot wait to go back. Shopping at "a Mall" just got brighter. Our server was lovely. Only negative...the hostess stand needs work. He did not speak, was dismissive and had an attitude. First impressions are EVERYTHING. To the restaurant....don't let the "wrong" people negatively impact your business.

    I took my mom here for an early Mother’s Day celebration. I had the cilantro lime chicken salad which was outstanding and the service was excellent and very attentive. It was pretty pricy for a lunch salad $15.95. It was a good place for a quiet lunch and we will probably return for another mother daughter get together.

    I absolutely love this place. The waiters are all nice, friendly and down to earth. The atmosphere is warming, calm and Earthy. The food is by far the best I've had in a while. Literally everything is amazing. My faves are the tomatoe basil soup, chicken baguette, shrimp cilantro lime salad, and the white chocolate bread pudding! 10 out of 10 would recommend.

    The service was good. Our waitress took good care of us. My husband's food was good. My pasta with chicken and artichokes was bland, had little flavor and was sitting in warm milk since this was not sauce. I asked for salt and parmesan cheese to fix it. The waitress offered to bring me something else instead but I decided against this since my husband would be done with his meal by the time I started.
