Cafe Bistro - Tacoma

Excellent accommodation for food allergies! Kind service, wonderful food!

Nordstrom Bistro is typically very good but I had the French Dip and the meat was dried out, the bun was burnt and the au jus had an odd flavor. My friend had their “Chicken Noodle Soup” which was a very thick bowl of goo. It was so unappetizing and I wonder how much cornstarch was used. So disappointing.

Nice place for lunch. Good salad, presented nicely.

A little off, out of pizza dough@4;30, crab bisque showed no sign of crab other than a fishy tomato soup and out of tomato soup. First 2 picks of my wife were out, had to ask what they were out of before asking for anything else (there were 2 more). I visited one of these in Seattle and much better.

I got a free swag bag of pasta related stuff because I ordered a pasta dish. They gave me a good amount of after dinner mints. The service was very good. I've dined at this bistro for years and it's very good. I recommend their creme brulee for dessert and their kalamata olive aioli dip with fries it's addictive! I usally get the chicken and herb goat cheese sandwich. Very good by the way but, I got this gnocchi dish and because it was pasta month I got a free swag bag sponsored by Barilla since I ordered a pasta dish. If you are hungry while shopping at Nordstrom's it's a great place to check out.
