Bazille
While I miss the Nordstrom cafe that used to exist here, the replacement restaurant is just as good as its predecessor. The food here is always reliable, tastes excellent, and of great quality. A small complaint about the food woupd be that some of the dishes, like the salmon risotto and steak frites, are a bit salty.
My only qualm about this restaurant would be the service. It takes a long time to flag down your waiter, and when he or she does get to you, they'll often forget to get whatever you requested. There seems to be a good amount of dilly dallying by the entrance of the kitchen next to the bar where the waiters chat on their way in and out. I do understand though that its a big space with lots of customers during peak hours, but speed is always appreciated.
Food alone is a 4, but combined with the service is a 3.
Super impressed by this spot on the ground floor of Nordstrom in the Garden State Plaza.
Had the lobster bisque and shrimp nicoise. Lobster bisque was the first I've had with chunks of cucumber, tomato and red onion in it but it was one of the best it had. The shrimp were perfectly grilled and the salad was light and delicious. Friendly service. Would definitely come again.
Finally ready for a review!
Dean is the best waiter – he's been here since it was Nordstrom Cafe. He's adorable and sweet and always welcoming. Bazille has found its stride after a few tries I'm happy to report. The cocktails are CONSISTENTLY excellent and well made. We have sampled an array of different drinks and they're all excellent with lovely flavors. The flatbread is wonderful. The sliced steak sandwich is out of this world. Addicted to the kalamata aioli. The shrimp salad is similar to the one they served in the old cafe days but this one has a bit of an updated dressing with a smokey kick. Fresh, tasty and super flavorful salad. My picky son claims these to be the best chicken fingers in town (high praise, believe me). Everything we have sampled has been great. I hear the demand for the old tomato soup has been so high they bring it back as a soup of the day once a week. Well now why did they get rid of it in the first place? We shall be back. Especially on triple points days. Hooray for shopping + steak + salad + sangria all under one roof!
