2.5 stars (old/dingy vibes) for ambience, 4 (solid) for the food.We had the turkey avocado panini + side salad, tomato basil soup, and salmon with couscous.The star was the tomato soup - great flavor but not overpowering, the perfect amount for 2, and great for dipping sandwiches into!A little underwhelmed by the turkey cold cut slices but the combination of flavors was solid. Side salad was really well seasoned and a great pairing.Salmon was good flavor, but a tad dry; paired well with the couscous though which was great!The service was excellent, but the interiors took me straight back to a weathered Fresh Choice / Sweet Tomato time. I'm not sure it's the weekend lunch experience I want.

1st time here and the sandwich I ordered was delicious. Side salad was perfect. I highly recommend eating here and I will be back for more!

A favour place for many years ... Yesterday I had the sesame ginger salad which was delicious ... Service and food was awesome !!

The food is soooo good.

I enjoy eating here because It's generally quiet, not a long wait and the food is tasty. The menu is limited but there is something for everyone.

It’s a quiet place located on the third floor of Nordstrom. Good for a quick bite.

The location is great and their service is fast. Great menu and the portion was good. Prices were reasonable and their staffs were attentive.

Love the salads

Smells stale and offputting. The owner photos are really old here. You no longer see the food.They serve a big glass of ice water without asking. The staff is friendly. I only ordered a cup of their tomato basil soup because i wasnt super hungry.. it came with a large cheesy toast-like crouton. Both were. very tasty. There is absolutely no ambiance. Very utilitarian.

Very good
