Service was extremely slow and subpar. Had to retrieve my own straws from bar. A waiter was literally running around the restaurant as if he was a fairy. The wait was so long for a cup of soup, I cancelled the order. Just expected more I guess from a restaurant located within Nordstrom.

Check your receipts and save them. They added an $10 extra in tip, but I threw away the receipt so I can't dispute with my credit card.

I'm Canadian and have never been able to have a cocktail in a department store before. I certainly didn't expect to have one of the best espresso martinis I've ever had. Leslie was a spectacular server, I love Georgia !

Visited here last week and had the worst experience. We sat down & requested a Shirley temple the server (my receipt says her name was Frances) gave every excuse as to why she couldnt make it because the bar is closed & I would have to look around for the ingredients. You mean to tell me, it would be difficult to find some grenadine??? I requested lemonade, which was terrible. My friend requested ginger ale, which was all seltzer. When I told the server the lemonade was very tart, she giggled. Our food came out and was VERY subpar. The waitress finally came back around and I told her that I really couldnt stomach the lemonade. She abruptly cut me off, stating that shell remove it and walked away without letting me request a different drink. She never even brought water to the table, nor offered any. 0 out of 10, do not recommend. I hate paying money when treated poorly. Well never eat here again!
