"Following an afternoon of shopping at Fashion Show Mall, head upstairs to the cafe. Jeannie’s has classic lunchtime fare like sandwiches and salad, plus pizza and a full bar. A holdover from the Nordstrom Cafe is a stellar tomato bisque. It’s indulgently creamy, textured with small pops of tomato seeds, and seasoned with a crack of fresh pepper. It’s just right for dunking a grilled cheese or the crisp crostini that comes with a cup." - Janna Karel
"All 12 gelatos at Jeannie’s inside Nordstrom at Fashion Show mall are gluten-free. Flavors include strawberry cheesecake and Nutella, starting at $4." - Agnes Poliquin, Janna Karel
"At Jeannie's, Tom Douglas will run a casual pizza-focused venue centered on pizza, pasta, and salad meant to serve as a quick break for hungry shoppers; I note it’s the same concept he operates inside the Las Vegas Nordstrom and will be located on the store’s lower level. Douglas, a three-time James Beard Award winner who has opened restaurants with Nordstrom before, brings his established pizza-and-pasta formula to the new flagship." - Carla Vianna
"Confirmed to be up and running by the end of fall, this first Las Vegas expansion from James Beard Outstanding Restaurateur Tom Douglas is the chef's second collaboration with the Nordstrom retail empire and will replace the 15-year-old Marketplace Café at the Fashion Show mall. Described to OpenTable as hosting a “casual yet sophisticated dining room,” I expect a welcoming environment for shoppers, families, or anyone looking to relax and enjoy a delicious meal. The Jeannie's specialty will be pizza made with hand-crafted dough, blistered to perfection and topped with fresh produce, artisan cheese and charcuterie; the menu will also include seasonally influenced appetizers, salads, pastas, and warm sandwiches called “toasties,” plus a full bar and gelato for dessert. Planned opening hours are 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily, closing at 7 p.m. on Sundays." - Bradley Martin
"Restaurateur Tom Douglas, a highly respected fixture in the Seattle dining scene, has joined forces with the Nordstrom department store to debut Jeannie’s at the Fashion Show mall this fall. Revealed back in June, the restaurant will replace the now shuttered, 15-year-old Marketplace Café and has been allocated an estimated construction budget of $2 million for the speedy overhaul. Douglas was named James Beard Outstanding Restaurateur in 2012 and recipient of the 1994 James Beard Award for Best Northwest Chef." - Susan Stapleton
