Nordstrom Grill

Great place with surprisingly reasonable prices. We walked over from the paramount theater after watching Hamilton. We were “young scrappy and HUNGRY. Daughter had a bacon burger and loved it, Halibut and chips were great. Service was legendary

Outstanding experience having dinner before a meeting. High Fashion drink was perfect and had the Cobb salad with Steak. Service was attentive and helpful. Will definitely be back in the future.

The mushroom ravioli is a must-try. It's very creamy with rich favor. Bread is soft and fresh, it's free to refill. I used the bread the wipey plate clean. Restaurant is cozy, and waiter is attentive. The only minor thing is their soda water is not bubbly at all.

The service was great and the food was good. It's a little overpriced for the amount of food you get, but at least it comes with free bread! The price is a given when eating out in the city though.

First time here , but very great food and service. I got their salmon and it was perfectly cooked. Crab bisque wasn’t too salty and wine list is very good if you’re someone like me who likes to keep it simple. 10/10 would recommended

The second time I visited, the same great service and the same great food. I look forward to trying it again next time I come to Seattle.

Very small portions, service was “ok” but forgot to bring our beer/refills. We ordered the filet mignon. Was $45 for a plate and left hungry. We liked that they have a kids menu though. The kids portions were bigger than ours though! Would have preferred the kids menu for us adults too! Overall, satisfied, but could have been better for the price.

I had the crab Mac & cheese, there was NO cheese and it was so dry, it felt like pasta, not Mac & cheese. I don't know if they intended for it to be like that but it was just so dry and the portion size was a little small but I'm not too upset about that. However the cilantro lime salad with cauliflower was way way too dry. I had it before and it wasn't this dry. I hope this is a one-time occurrence. Overall, OK experience.

Stopped in here to eat during a busy day of shopping on Valentine's Day with my mother and my daughter. We were promptly seated at a spacious table. Our server was very polite and tentative. We ordered a couple of glasses of wine and French onion soups, and a children's macaroni and cheese - special heart shaped. Our food arrived hot and delicious. The soup was perfect on a cold day. And although we devoured the soups, the true winner was the macaroni and cheese - the noodles were cooked perfectly and it was immaculate. I wish I had ordered it for myself. Once we finished, we didn't feel rushed at all. We took our time and the staff was very patient. It was a delightful experience for a Valentine's Day date, and far surpasses any of the times I've dined at the Bellevue location.

First, the food for the Mother's Day brunch was phenomenal. We will return every year we can. The add on fun of a Photo Booth and friendly staff handing out samples and bouquets was like icing on the cake. The meal was a three course extravaganza with a croissant, main course, and a dessert which was a dipped macaroon. Also a gift of chocolates was handed out to take home. Being in Nordstrom is already fun, but a delightful meal like this really sets it over the top.

Here before a concert and the food is amazing! I had a braised beef and cheese tortellini and it was perfection. A generous glass of red and a French press coffee and I'm now ready for anything!

The food is what I expected. This is a good spot for the function they serve. It's not fine dining, but it is much better than a food court. The service is quick and the ambiance is good for an in-store food establishment.

I like to come to the Nordstrom Grill at DT Seattle. A very relaxed atmosphere and good service. I came for lunch with a colleague and ordered the salmon from the kids menu. We have a good amount of kids menu and drinks are included. Weekend lunch hours can get busy, so a reservation might be a good idea. The taste of salmon is just right and it comes with warm vegetables and fresh fruit. We were satisfied with the delicious food and service.

Very convenient to be able to eat and shop. Despite being in a department store, food quality was excellent and frankly surprised me. Drinks also a plus. Friendly servers. Bonus points for getting Nordstrom points on food!

I came for lunch. Staff welcoming and friendly without being intrusive. I had the French Dip and fries with a side salad. Salad was fresh and perfectly dressed. French Dip was a good portion of beef on a nice French role. The dip was a beef bone broth with wonderful flavour without being overly salty. Fries hot and nice crisp. Good seasoning full of flavour. The Aioli was not my favourite it each is own. Thank you Nordstrom for a nice dining experience!

How have I never been here?? This is a little gem! Tucked in the bottom floor of the flagship Nordstrom store is a cozy restaurant. It was quiet and low key. Great spot for a nice meal. We tried the Heirloom tomato and burrata appetizer. Very tasty! I opted for the Ginger Sesame Salad with Salmon. It was delicious! Nice crispy wonton, lots of mandarin oranges. Delicious ginger dressing. Hubs ordered the green goddess salad with chicken. Both salads were very filling. I loved the low key atmosphere. I'll definitely come back to try other menu options.

Small dining space, great service, and decent wine / cocktail selection. Alaskan haddock with rostro was fresh and not salty. Crab bisque is cream based. They offer a menu with local food and women owned vineyard selection.

Ambience was great! Fun music in the background. Tracy provided great service and tended to my table so well!!! The tacos were amazing, recommend. The veggies were also amazing, can't go wrong. The steak was made exactly to my liking. Kudos! My only feedback would be that it was a bit too salty for my taste but I'd be willing to try it again when I come next week. :)

Nice place inside Nordstrom. The burgers and the fish and chips are great. The fries is always fresh. Service is good and friendly. I always eat here when I am in the mood for a good burger.

I seriously have to say, Nordstrom grill has recently become one of my fav spots to eat at in downtown seattle. No joke when I say this - EVERYTHING is made so well it's art. I can't say I have tried everything on the menu but I intend to in the next few months. Their happy hour is amazing. Last time I went with two ladies and we just ordered all snacks on the HH menu. I highly recommend their: fish and chips (you can do half order), burger (so good), lamb sliders (delicious), simple salad (my go to everytime), crispy chicken sandwich, crab bisque, chicken tacos, etc. see how I am almost listing out everything...? Please stop by and give it a try. They have amazing mix drinks too. It is a legit restaurant. Not just a spot to grab a bite only cuz you are shopping.

This is a fantastic place to pop in to for a bite especially while shopping! They have many options available and adult beverages as well. The ginger petite was absolutely fantastic and they will even split the portion for you. It was a perfect portion for me and my spouse. Also, don't forget to get an Aperol Spritz.

The food was good. Service was decent. The ambiance felt like a clothing store turned into a restaurant.

A bit over-priced, but ordered tomato soup and spinach dip from them. My husband got a salad. The brownie bar I got was out of stock.

I love their salads!! My favorite! But the chicken is always dry! Literally always. Stop overcooking it please.

I just love this place. It's a cafe with cafe food and vibe which we don't have a lot of in Seattle (in comparison with California for example). The food is consistently delicious and the the dining area is no fuss and quick but still nice. I have so many good memories of going shopping with my mom or friends and grabbing a quick and delicious bite at the Nordstrom cafe. Even took my newborn years ago - Nordstrom makes everything easy with their amazing customer service and clean facilities (A+ Mothers rooms) and the restaurant is no exception. Have never had a bad meal or drink here but specifically adore the salads! Anddd they give you some yummy chocolates with the bill. Leave it to Nordstrom for always doing something just a little bit extra.

The tomato soup is pretty bad The tacos aren't great The avocado sandwich is okay But the filet steak was amazing ! And our server was super chill and nice :)

Pleasantly surprised that in 2023, Nordstrom Grill had the best burger in the city. Do try the pasta and salads too, but the burger is absolutely delicious. It's a must-visit for a delightful meal.

I had never given much thought to eating at the cafe/bistro at a Nordstrom's before. I mean sure, a coffee or pastry but we happened to be spending all afternoon walking downtown and well, hungry strikes where hunger wants to strike and since we were mid window shopping spree we decided to try it. We ordered the lobster bisque and the shrimp pomodoro. While the bisque was just ok....perhaps a bit watery to my liking the pomodoro was actually plentiful with big succulent shrimp. A pleasant surprise for sure. Not a bad place to grab a bite if you're nearby.

Food was definitely delicious!!! We ordered, crab bisque, halibut and chips, crab spaghetti and oscar salmon..... AMAZING!!!! Service was great!! A must try when you're in downtown Seattle!

The best Salmon, burgers, Salads, soups EVER!! This is always my 1st recommendation for eating in Seattle.

As someone who's been spending time in Nordstrom locations since I could walk, I've always had a special love for The Grill. Their food never disappoints, and they still offer my favorite French Dip of all time. As everyone already knows, their crab bisque is out of this world as well. Creamy and decadent without being overly rich, it's absolutely delicious; each and every bite nostalgically bringing me back to my childhood. Every time I feel like I need to take a quick trip down memory lane, it's off to The Grill I go.

Stopped by here after having sushi because we were still hungry and I liked this place better when we used to order as we walked in and then sat down. They changed things now so it's an actual sit down and order from a waiter restaurant. The food is good but service always lacks as far as getting our drinks filled. I've had a few dishes here but my absolute favorite is the crab Mac and Cheese. You can never go wrong ordering that here. Also a side note, this restaurant is located inside up on the second floor of Nordstrom.

Nordstrom downtown has made a comeback from last year's crazy looting. There are so many restaurants in this one department that are uniquely different. The grill is located in the basement of the store and reservations can be made through open table. On a Sunday this place was not busy. The wait staff and hostess are so very nice and friendly. I think they made the experience of eating there enhance the likability of the restaurant. We ordered crispy calamari, hamburger/fries, kids chicken and fries, fried fish and chips and summer strawberry salad. The kids fried chicken dish was definitely not prefrozen but prepared with fresh chicken. The strawberries, creamy goat cheese and organic tasting lettuce was refreshing and a yummy combination. The hamburger meat was thick on a brioche bun and definitely filling where we could only finish half. The calamari though was a little on the greasy side. The fries were definitely addicting. However, the only drawback on this place are the sticky floors..think they may need to do a little better job with the floors. We will go back for the food and libations!

The brussel sprouts and the Salmon Salad were excellent. The salmon was perfectly prepared, just the right amount of pink inside. Service was cordial and accommodating. Why not 5 stars? Everything was s l o w. Really s l o w. Further, I think the young host likes to seat people by age. My octogenarian peers were nice enough company, but we all felt sort of sloved in the back corner.

The food is always good here. The prices are reasonable. The service could be faster. The menu options will have something for everyone. Today I got one of my favorites, the fried chicken sandwich. It's lightly fried, with apple slaw. No cheese, which I thought I could not do without, but did not miss. The sandwich is great. The fries come with herbs that make them seem extra delicious.

Yummy! This was my first time to a Nordstrom grill. We had Seattle Kracken tickets for a date night and I wanted to have a dinner before. Didn't want anything too long on time or overly fancy however did want good food. He had the French dip and I had the chicken sandwich. Both were quite tasty. Honestly we probably could have split it! I had a glass of Columbia valley red wine and he had an arnold Palmer. Both delish! This place is conveniently located in the downtown area close to the waterfront and the Westlake station! Monorail is across the street. Recommend if you are shopping too and want to pop in for a beverage and snacks.

I've dined here countless times without disappointment. 85% of the time I get the crab and shrimp Louie and add avocado. The other 15% of the time I get the halibut and chips. This place is the best kept secret in Seattle. Lunch time it helps to call in for a reservation to secure a table since lunch is their bread and butter. Dinner time is our go to spot if we have a show at the paramount or 5th ave to attend. You can always get in with great, fast, reliable service. They serve bread with your meal and it's a great addition to any entree.

My friend and I were in today for lunch, and our server was completely distracted and talked to us in passing. She barely stopped for a second at our table when asking how things were. We love the food l, but today's service was sub-par.

If you come in with others, it's fine. But every single time I come in by myself, as a woman in her 60s, I get some dinky little table jammed against the wall, a few feet from the kitchen. Regardless of how full the place is. But, men don't get that kind of service. They are either given a booth, even though they are alone, or a nice table. I went in on Veteran's Day, Saturday around 3:30 p.m. Once again the worst table in the whole cafe was mine. (One other woman my age was also seated crammed against the outer wall. )A tiny table, barely big enough to hold your meal. But when I looked around, I saw only a handful of other diners! The cafe wasn't full at all. The men had either a booth, or a comfortable table, with plenty of room around them. It doesn't matter if the men are alone or not. And the seating wasn't deliberate to make the server's work easier -- there was only one. He was waiting on everyone in the cafe. He only stopped by my table once, but he had other, more important diners to take care of. And worst of all: The food was mediocre -- a bland chicken salad with very dry chicken for 18.00. Meh.

My favorite place now!!! Love their bisque and french dip sandwich! Waitress was super nice and split our portion on 2 plates. Plus they have my favorite cocktails Amelia. I used to go to Habitant and Nordstrom cafe but I like this one better.

Aside from the obvious, this is a true Seattle destination for quick fine dining. It isn't for the fast paced meeting but it works in a pinch when the men's department lacks any choices worth splurging on! We must admit that today we went a little wild with our food choices here but I am pleased to admit this is one of the most delicious little places in downtown Seattle for great food. One star is missing because the interior could use an update! Definitely suggest a good dusting in the interior because it seems a little mothy! The 1944 mai tai is so delicious, subtract some of the excessive crushed ice and it may be strong enough. I ordered a double margarita and the additional shot was $9.00 so definitely tasted the alcohol! The desert really was the defining moment this afternoon! The pizza is baked fresh in house and the vanilla bean gelato is OUTSTANDING! I won't sing praise on the strawberry rhubarb creation because it is seasonal... but holy hell, absolutely delicious. Aside from the classic favorites (calamari) for an appetizer, the bread and butter make it worth eating in such dimly lit atmosphere! Thank you downtown Nordstrom for truly maintaining such a classic!

They advertise take out, so I tried a to go salad and they forgot to add my chicken. The most expensive lettuce I've ever had.

I've been going to Nordstrom for decades and this the first time I've visited the grill. I have to say I expected more - from the menu, the ambience and the service. Nothing was bad at all I just expected for more wow factor for being the flagship store restaurant. The menu was eh. I ordered the crab bisque that was super delicious. I ordered the salmon salad that was cool. The service was also eh. You could tell server was frantic. One party was told the cook lost their order. I do like how they tried to make amends to everything. I'll be back but overall.....eh

We were hungry after we got off the Link Light Rail at the Westlake station, conveniently located we found the Nordstrom Grill and decided to grab a bite for lunch. We were seated right away just before this place started filling up. Ambiance of this place is cozy but noise level was rather high. We felt we were at a dim sum house instead. Since I was hungry, I ordered a cup of Split Pea soup and the Salmon Spinach Salad vs my better half ordered a hamburger with arugula salad. Followed by bread & butter, my soup came very fast, with just the right consistency. The flavor was very rich but a bit peppery which I liked. The hamburger was moist and juicy and so was my grilled salmon on my spinach salad, and the champagne vinaigrette was lovely which triggered me to ask for some more. Philip, our server was very friendly and efficient. As we were enjoying our food, we noticed he made good use of his trips on his way back to the kitchen by picking up the soiled dishes, this indicates he is a pro and a good worker. Our lunch at the Nordstrom Grill was delightful and enjoyable. A good place to visit in downtown Seattle for our future trip, and we will recommend this restaurant highly.

Glad the grill is still open. You can taste the fresh and quality of all of there food my go to is the burger ALWAYS cooked to perfection waiters are always great.

These 3 stars I reluctantly give are solely for the back of the house. Whoever is responsible for cooking my food deserves these stars - and to that I am thankful! I ordered the Roasted Chicken Pommes Frites (which is a fancy way of saying bomb chicken smothered in butter on top of garlic fries). The chicken was cooked to perfection - deliciously moist with a crunch, topped with a lemon-herb butter full of flavor but not overpowering. The frites were pretty standard; thin cut and seasoned with garlic. My only complaint would be the spicy ketchup it listed came along with it - there was ZERO heat to this ketchup. Really, just some plain ol' Heinz 57 ketchup; nothing special. But overall, the meal was delicious. I'm taking the other 2 stars off because of the wait staff. Not engaging in the least, and the slowest service imaginable. Halfway through waiting for my food, I stood up and asked my server if I could sit closer to the bar to watch the game on the TV. He told me he would need to check with the host first (seems a bit weird, but ok) so he comes back and tells me that's fine. After I sit, he tells me he's going on a break and that another server, Jen, would be taking over for him. From my experience with the industry, it's a little unprofessional to leave a table you're serving unless there is an emergency. Jen never came and introduced herself to me...and I had been eating for about 15 minutes. I still have no idea who Jen even is or if she even works there!? I had to grab a random server helping other guests to print off my check for me and box my food up. Very strange and unprofessional. The food at Nordstrom Grill will rarely disappoint, but I've multiple wait staff/service issues. Definitely not a good spot if you're on a time constraint, but otherwise delicious food!

I have yet to have a bad meal or bad service at Nordstrom Grill. I love there southwest chicken sandwich and also chicken tacos are delicious!

I had the crab and shrimp salad. It was great. They upsold me on the avocado, $1.50 for a 1/4 of avocado. Had a blackberry lemonade and they charge for a refill. The bread and butter was a nice touch. Service was a little uneven.

Submitting this review to not deter people from eating here but to ask Nordstrom to fix the wrong. This is one of my go to restaurants for me and my family. We go to Nordstrom often to only eat here and not shop. I am a regular, the wait staff know me, the hostess knows me, I get reserved booth seating. BUT today the menu changed, the bread has been replaced with dry rolls that aren't worth the carbs and calories. I had the Pan Seared Chicken and Brussels Sprouts Frite which replaced the Chicken Paillard and normal sprouts. It was so bland and frankly gross that I only ate half out of pure hunger. I left hungry....no good bread and no good entree. At least you kept the chocolate mint sticks with the bill as I needed something in the belly. PLEASE PLEASE fix this otherwise another Seattle restaurant will bite the dust by ruining what made them special.

I got the clam chowder for $6 and it has absolutely no flavor!!!!!! The waitress is rude and you have to dump a pound of salt in in. I give this place -2,000 stars for how shitty it is. Not to mention you have to pay and tip before getting your food. Overall it's just so sad and disappointing. I don't under stand how it's a 4.7 star restaurant. It shows how insecure they are about their food. I wouldn't recommend this place to the homeless man downstairs

When I was planning our recent trip to seattle, I asked all my friends and family where to eat, i was wondering why Nordstrom grill kept being brought up. I was told the halibut was a must try. So hubs and I stopped for lunch, and got both the halibut risotto and halibut fish and chips. Fresh from the harbor, and we couldn't ask for more. Both dishes were cooked perfectly and we rolled out super satisfied and very full from their generous portions

We had a great dining experience here. We thought it was going to be like a typical Nordstrom dining experience, but much better. Was like dining in an external restaurant, and the service was great. Would definitely recommend if you are in Seattle.

The food was good & tasty but the service was far from Nordstrom's caliber. I realize my group of 20 came an hour before closing but we wanted daily specials items. The host seemed scared of such a big party. Our group split in half & then we were seated. You would think there would've been some communication with the wait & kitchen staff to get started on the food items we inquired about but there wasn't as evidenced that there was only 1 server! And let me note that approximately 6 other folks came in after us---some were served before us too I'd only recommend this grill if you're already out shopping and want to rest your bones.

Very good food, excellent service, and reasonable prices all in a sophisticated setting... and just an escalator away from ladies shoes? Yes, please! The often overlooked Nordstrom Grill serves up a mean salad, great burgers and sandwiches, and some pretty fantastic entrees at comparable prices... and you won't get better service elsewhere. It's like eating in their Women's shoe department. The service is fantastic! I always get the same thing when I come here: the Grilled Vegetable Salad. it comes with roasted corn, asparagus, yellow squash, onions, avocados, baby greens and all in a delicious creamy balsamic dressing. The complimentary bread is always piping hot and we're pretty sure that the reason why our waiter hesitates just slightly when I ordered an Americano is because they don't have an espresso machine. Not 4-5 minutes later, he came back through the main door, piping hot Americano in hand, smiling and asking if we were okay, if he could get us anything else. Now, the Nordstrom Cafe is on the 4th floor and the Grill is on the first floor, so we presume he took the elevator up 4 floors for me. There is no other way he could have made this happen. He rocks. They rock. If you're shopping or hanging downtown and don't want overpriced lunch or dinner fare, but are looking for a more sophisticated environment, this is the place for you!

Located on the Metro (bottom) level of the Nordstroms, the Grill is tucked away in the men's section, and offers an upscale yet laid back, relaxed atmosphere. The PERFECT place for a hungry gal exhausted from all that shopping. Ordered the Coriander Crusted Ahi Tuna Salad off their chef's menu, a side of grilled french fries, and lemonade. *Coriander Crusted Ahi Tuna Salad http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/1v-vVncnYb1d9uKTsOtCpg?userid=QRXi8kYBxHWZxcYXLx0MLw: was an explosion of flavor! Simply amazing. The tuna itself was grilled on the outside while still raw at the center. A bit too cooked for my preferences, but still very good. And everything else in the salad was a perfect blending of flavors: from the slightly sweet and sour glaze, to the sour grapefruit and sweet oranges, the fried onion sticks, and arugula. It was really a combo of perfection. And the portion was just right too. Really, I can just go on and on and on about this. The grilled french fries http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/1v-vVncnYb1d9uKTsOtCpg?select=wCFtjebI46psBorun7rLug: shoe string cut, with some skin still left on the fries, and TONS of garlic - my fave. And the aioli sauce was delish - Had a kick of horseradish too! Too bad I couldn't finish it. Even the lemonade was good. It's been a while since I had a decent glass of lemonade. It doesn't seem that hard to balance the flavors but many places don't really get it right. This place hits the mark. Service was good for the most part. I was offered bread to start, and was only able to have two slices before my salad came. I would have liked a glass of water when my lemonade ran low, but it was hard to attract my server's attention from the way I was seated. And as icing on the cake, they offer little mint fudge sticks when you get your bill. Lovely! For all you ladies shopping alone, in addition to my own table of one, I spied several other tables of lone ladies enjoying a break from their shopping as well. When I return to Seattle for some more retail therapy, I will definitely return to sample other items on their menu. I'm sure I won't be disappointed.

Really 3.5 stars I visited basically because of the reviews of the Crab Bisque. The crab Bisque was just OK. I was disappointed there was'nt really any actual chunks of crab in the soup. The warm bread served with the soup was really good. I happened to go when it was empty so I was seated right away. The service was good.

As a place often overlooked, I feel this is a downtown gem... and I never thought a big box retailer could have 2 restaurants in the same building. That was a whodathunk that moment for me. The chicken burger with lime tangy sauce(?) was quite tasty and presented nicely with the fries. I enjoyed the space and service from the waitress/bartender, Michael. I guess "Michael" joins the ranks of the select few unisex names (Sam, Kelly, etc). I didn't chat about that since I'm sure she's heard crap for her name forever. May hit up the bar next time and chat it up with her and watch TV (those screens are smaller than all else, though). Close to Westlake Station, as well, so perfect for those meals before the train ride to work/home.
