"Don’t underestimate the power of an ice-cold caesar at Nordstrom Grill after shopping for designer jeans whose sizing chart makes no goddamn sense. Yes, this is a department store restaurant, but we’ll be damned, they serve a mean salad. The caesar has tasty, soft-in-the-middle alderwood-smoked salmon, and a hunk of parmesan frico that shatters to ensure crisped-up cheese in every bite. Get this and a fountain drink, and you’ll be ready to tackle the clearance rack next. (If salads aren't in the cards, the menu has plenty of soups, sandwiches, and larger entrees, too.)" - Aimee Rizzo
