If you ever miss those neighborhood diners...miss no more. Bazille is it (although not exactly diner prices and its way more elevated). But what you do get is: a nice repertoire of smiling cheery staff, managers who know your name and recognize you when you walk in, and a pleasant and attentive waiter...just like a neighborhood diner would be. So on this visit we had....yes...the delicious cheeseburger. I dunno what the chefs put in this burger that makes it so darn delicious and ADDICTIVE but it keeps us coming back for more! Maybe because it's cooked to perfection? Maybe because it has a giant tomato and some fresh crispy lettuce? Maybe it's the giant stack of delicious French fries and their signature KALAMATA OLIVE AIOLI? That could be it! However, the next runner up "Diner Dish"? The FISH-N-CHIPS! Wow! They're so good! The coleslaw is creamy crunchy and yummy, the fish is tender and crispy, and the tartar sauce? Wow, out of this world. I'm just gonna say it...it's the best fish-n-chips this side of the pond! Bye London! No need to run back to a local pub in jolly old England to get some delicious fish-n-chips...nope! Just go to Bazille like me! You're welcome! read more

On September 6, at approximately 1:10 p.m., I arrived at Bazille inside Nordstrom after attending a tennis tournament that morning with my wife and our two daughters. After the tournament, we decided to spend some time at the mall. While my wife and one of our daughters continued shopping, my other daughter and I went to Bazille to inquire about a table. My daughter has Down syndrome and is a very important part of my life. When we approached the hostess stand, it appeared that one of the hostesses, a blonde woman seated to the left of the stand, saw us but did not acknowledge our presence. We stood there for approximately one to two minutes without being greeted. The restaurant did not appear busy, and there were numerous open tables visible throughout the dining area. Eventually, another hostess approached the stand and informed me that the wait time would be over an hour. The information was conveyed in a manner that I perceived as unfriendly, and the interaction immediately felt unusual. I accepted the response and left with my daughter. Approximately 30 seconds later, while we were in the nearby children's shoe department, I observed two women approach the hostess stand and be seated immediately. This raised concerns, as it appeared inconsistent with the hour-plus wait time I had just been given. A short time later, my wife joined us. I explained what had occurred and asked her to see whether she could obtain a table. She approached the hostess stand with our other daughter and was seated immediately at a table for four. I then joined my family, bringing my daughter with Down syndrome to the table. As I walked past the hostess stand, I requested to speak with a manager. After we were seated, the hostess approached our table and asked what the issue was. I again stated that I would prefer to discuss my concerns with the manager. Several minutes later, a manager came to our table. I asked if we could speak privately away from my family, and I explained the events that had occurred. She listened and indicated that she would speak with the hostess and return. When the manager came back, she stated that she had received a different account of the situation from the hostess. She offered gift cards and other forms of compensation. I respectfully declined because my concern was not about receiving compensation or discounts. Rather, my concern was understanding why my daughter and I were told there was more than an hour wait, while other guests, including my own family moments later, were seated immediately. The manager indicated that she would discuss the matter further with the hostess. My family and I completed our meal, paid our bill, and left. What continues to trouble me is the significant discrepancy in how my daughter and I were treated compared to other guests. As the father of a daughter with Down syndrome, I am particularly sensitive to situations that create the appearance that individuals with disabilities are being treated differently. While I cannot know the hostess's intentions, the sequence of events left me deeply concerned and unsettled. My purpose in sharing this experience is to ensure that all guests, regardless of disability, are treated with dignity, respect, and equal consideration. I hope this matter is reviewed carefully so that similar concerns do not arise for other families in the future. read more

This place is in that 3.5 range. The cocktails are a weak point, the bar staff has been here for years and they will make a bad to okay drink. Wine menu is pedestrian. No big guns, but sone recognizable and consistent labels. Spirit offering could be better, but again it's much better than a lot of other places. Menu has enough to make most people happy and the kitchen is pretty consistent in quality and presentation. Service is good overall, the staff while on phones is quite attentive once you make eye contact. Can't really complain read more

The Spinach Artichoke Dip was rich and indulgent, served warm with crispy flatbread and crostini. It had a creamy, cheesy base with generous pieces of artichoke and just the right amount of spinach. It's a perfect starter to share, though it's hearty enough to stand alone as a lighter meal. read more

This restaurant is nice and located on the second floor of Nordstrom. The food was pretty great as per usual. I got a burger with fries and I asked for the burger to be cooked medium and it was well done. For dessert, I went with the blueberry bar and chocolate and vanilla ice cream. It was really good and I definitely recommend it for dessert. The service was great, and the server was really attentive. read more

Went there today with my daughter. Service was exceptional. Food was exceptional and surprising for a department store restaurant. I had the crab, mango & avocado salad. My daughter had the crispy chicken sandwich with Parmesan truffle fries....both were delicious. We had the Billionaire cocktail & French 75, both were very good and you could taste the alcohol which seems to be a rarity in many restaurants today. We will be going back again soon. read more

This restaurant is located within the Nordstrom's in the Woodlands Mall. I enjoyed the food here! I ordered the Bistro Crab Bisque (which I always get here). It was really good, but a little too salty. I'd give it a 7/10 I ordered the Blackberry Lemonade, which was really good, but I do wish they gave a bigger straw with it (like a boba straw). They put fresh crushed blackberries in it, so they kept getting stuck in the straw, but it was so tasty. 9/10 For the entrée, I ordered the Wild Salmon with Saffron Couscous, which was so tasty. The salmon was a little overdone, but I loved the flavor profile they put together for that plate. 8/10 read more

Good service, great food, and not noisy. My husband's French dip was probably the best ever. inside Nordstrom is a bonus.

Ribeye amazing. On a special menu they change quarterly. Cooked perfectly med rare. SOO good! Amazing cocktails also..

Always solid, consistently delicious food! At the convenience of being in a great department store, this restaurant is a great option for a more refined eating than the food court options inside the mall. My friend got the French onion soup with a caprese salad and the basil with mozzarella was so fresh and yummy! I got the crab bisque and fries and wow! Although the restaurant I feel is more on the pricey side for lunch, the portions of both were large! I had to take some back home with me. This place has great service and is a good option if you want to splurge a little on some food during your shop break at the mall! read more

Bazille at Nordstrom - Fries with Crab Bisque Soup - New American Near Me - The Woodlands, Texas

We were eager to try a new spot, seemed like a nice place to grab a quick meal. Long story short, great service but disappointing meal. Ordered a Nordstrom burger with fries and a three egg breakfast meal. It was all really bad, everything from taste to texture. Breakfast was served super bland and it was a chore to hunt down condiments for the meal. The burger had a super foul taste and the fries and breakfast potatoes lacked good flavor, very bad. We quickly found out this place is only good for a quick cocktail, skip on anything else - trust me. As for food, it was a zero and we will never go back to eat here. Great service and friendly staff tho. read more

I love the idea of this quiet little cafe upstairs at Nordstrom. I've been to several Nordstrom cafes and restaurants in other locations over the years and they've always been nice. We hadn't visited since way before the pandemic hit, so decided to go back. First, I saw the prices and remembered why it's not in our regular rotation. I'm sorry, but $22 for a salad and $18 for a cocktail is too steep for a cafe IN THE MALL. I had the salmon Niçoise salad. So incredibly bland. Way too many greens...not enough of the things that make Nicoise...the potato, the green beans, the eggs, the olives (there were 0 olives on my salad)...it was basically all UNDRESSED, dry greens and a dry piece of baked salmon. For $22 dollars. The drinks: there is a cocktail menu but they were unable to make several on the list with not suggestions on something similar. The chocolates at the end are a nice touch and the cafe is clean and pretty. Definitely crossing this off of my list. read more

Was served raw non sushi grade salmon twice. I finally called it quits on the last attempts and the waiter was no help at all suggesting another dish or anything. Awful service. It's the blind leading the blind there. read more

I was greeted and told the bar had open seating, which was perfect because I am shopping alone! I have been to this location previously and have always had a great experience! The bar tender today was great. She told me about the two wines she had on special today. I went with a glass of Chardonnay for only $10! Based on past experiences, I knew I had to get the crab bisque. It came out hot and looked delicious!!! I love the large crouton that comes on top!! It was just as amazing as I remembered!! Smooth and creamy with chunks of crab throughout! The crouton was crunchy and great to use to dip in the bisque! Overall, another great experience and I'm so glad I stopped in after a busy day of shopping!! If you get the chance to come, you will not be disappointed! And don't forget to try the crab bisque!! Keep up the good work guys!!! read more

4 stars because our server Jazmyn was perfection!!! The General Manager is awful. He looks homeless, I didn't even know he worked there. I would have thought he could stop by, he just kept leaving the restaurant for long periods of time. All I was trying to do was tell him how amazing our server was, and the salad I had was delicious, but no luck. read more

I hope my review posted about how absolutely inedible this food was. I can't imagine the brand can continue with the level of inconsistency in this restaurant. Worst and I mean worst meal I've ever had in my life. Oily, overcooked, old, under seasoned. I hate to sound rude, but honestly the meal was offensive. read more

Bazille is upstairs on the second floor in Nordstrom. If your looking for a relaxing atmosphere in the mall to eat, this is the place to go. The host let me pick my booth by the outdoor section. They have mostly a new American food style. I ordered the heirloom tomato soup which was layered with flavors (5 star). It came with a long yummy toasted artisan piece of bread. I ordered the Sweet Chili Chicken tagliatelle pasta (4.5 star). It was so delicious with a lighter cream sauce and layered flavors also. The food seems a lil bit gourmet/healthy. There were so many entrees on the menu that sounded great that I just went with the chefs special. I really enjoyed my R&R time There is also a decent sized bar area for the size of the restaurant. My waitress was MIA a lot. She could use more training. That's my only complaint. I'll be back for sure. Yelp Review #407 read more

I've seen a few clothing stores with restaurants in them and except for Harrods in London, I haven't had the privilege of experiencing one that does both well. So as I was looking for a great place for a late lunch my wife begged me to take her to Bazille. As you may know, Bazille is a restaurant within Nordstrom in the Woodlands, Texas. So I was more than skeptical but she is my wife and she did beg, so I felt obligated to acquiesce. The service was quick and efficient. And although I was a little surprised that the host wasn't wearing Nordstrom-type clothing she was very efficient. (Does efficient translate into courteous but curt? - Just checking. :) ) We were sat in a really drafty booth but our server saw how we were feeling uncomfortable and suggested a better booth in the corner. He was kind and although we were moving out of his section he never let on that we were hurting him financially. The second server was just as polite and courteous. I choose the Bazille Burger and an IPA beer he suggested to pair with the American Style Meal, and I wasn't disappointed. The burger was delicious and moist. I always ask for a medium rare burger and most of the kitchens I've been to, rarely send me what I ask. This one did. And I was surprised. The fries weren't too crisp nor too soggy and the suggested IPA "Voodoo Ranger" complimented the burger perfectly. My daughter had the sauteed chicken with angel hair pasta. I tried the chicken and it was moist all the way through. The rosemary beurre blanc sauce was a little over salted but the pasta balanced it out. I promised my wife that I would bring her back. read more

Love this place. Chefs are 5 star. My favorite dishes are the cilantro lime salad and the crab bisque. They have great cocktails and the French dip sandwich is not one to pass up up either. Nordstrom's is my favorite store so it's a double treat to be able to dine and looks around in my favorite department store. The restaurant is located on the second floor across from the kids section. I never have an issue with parking and the ambiance is great. My one nit is that during my last visit there were Nats in the restaurant swarming my food - quite annoying. The service is also great. read more

Arrived 35 minutes before closing but no one would greet us. We waited 5 minutes for someone to come seat us but the workers would just look over and roll their eyes. We love eating at Bazille at the Galleria but this location is a joke. read more

First off--it's located inside Nordstroms, however there's an entrance to it from the outside of the mall. It's not mall food by any means. Secondly-it was/is amazing!!! A couple of my friends and I went to try it out today and I must say that it won't be long until we go back. We had the Ahi Poke Appetizer, Chicken Caesar Salad, and the Croque Madame Sandwich and fries. Poke was excellent, salad was good and the sandwich was also pretty good too! We each got a cocktail and they were fairly priced and delicious. Service was great! I also enjoyed that the kitchen was open but was covered by a glass window, sometimes you don't need to hear what all goes on back of the house ;-) All in all we enjoyed our time and can't wait to go back! read more

Ok. Who would have thought of eating literally at the mall. But honestly they do a fantastic job. The service was excellent even with a incredibly busy lunch session. We sat near where all the food comes out so we got to see most everything on the menu. The pizza is very popular. Slightly over cooked on the Bottom. But overall a very good pizza. $11. I also had the crab bisque and I thought it was excellent. My wife had the mushroom flatbread and it was very good. I would say (from observation) that the salads and sandwiches are the shining stars on the menu. For desert we had the bread pudding and it was excellent. Congratulations to the chef and the entire staff for a wonderful time. read more

There's a couple of things about this place that are good and bad. Let's start with the good! Food was awesome! I had the fig salad with goat cheese and it was just amaaaaazing. Such good flavor! Although this was my first time, everyone else's food smelled and looked great too. They also give a pretty delicious bread as a starter, served warm with butter! Yum! The service was really awesome too. Very friendly waiters. The only cons about this place is that it's in the mall inside of Nordstrom, so of course it's loud and a little crowded. Especially during the holidays, expect about 30 minutes to find a parking (unless you do Nordstrom valet for $5). Another aspect is there were absolutely no vegetarian options, except for soup and salad. Every entree had meat, so just keep that in mind all you veg heads out there. I probably wouldn't come back for these reasons. I just wasn't wowed enough. But I would say this is the best option to eat at the mall for better food. P.s. You know it's a nice place when they serve chilled water without the ice. read more

I've been here before, but what a difference today was..sigh. Bazille Totally Missed the mark on this jaunt. Went to enjoy an easy & healthy late lunch while running a work errand n thought I'd kill 2 birds w/1 stone. Eyes rolled when I requested one of the available and open booths ...huh? Was sat and greeted nicely by Server and after that, I sat and sat and sat just waiting for water to arrive.I thought best to cut my loses early n split because if it took that long for just water, who knows how long it would take to order lunch let alone be served. Perhaps understaffed, bad day or ??? But to me, first impressions are important and i won't be running back to Bazille anytime soon for a weekday luncheroni. Best of luck and success cause I love your setting ! read more

As busy as it seemed to be, why aren't there more reviews?! This place is impressive! I came with a friend, who works at Nordstrom, around 12:45pm & it was jam packed. The wait was about 20 minutes, so we decided to walk around Nordstrom before they shot us a text - so convenient. Before being seated, I was introduced to the manager of customer service, Victoria. She's super super sweet & very attentive! Plus, she knows her food. - Ahi Tuna Poke (5/5): One of THE BEST I've ever had. The tuna was very well marinated, fresh & buttery. The Asian slaw was tangy & the seasoned wonton chips.. Oh my goodness. THE WONTON CHIPS. That could be sold in a bag by itself. Everything paired so perfectly together. I couldn't get enough! - Pepperoni & Mushroom Pizza (3/4): This is good if you're a fan of mushrooms with your pizza. I personally am not but this was great. The flavors were very good. It wasn't greasy at all. The crust was fluffy but I wish the dough was a bit crispier, considering that it was on the thinner side. The basil topping added a freshness to it, which I loved. - Flat Iron Steak Frites (4/5): It could have been a 5/5.. but my steak wasn't as medium rare as I'd hope. Nonetheless, amazing flavors! Regardless of it being perfectly seasoned, I always like eating my meat with sauce. The kalamata aioli wasn't very palatable to me for my fries.. So Victoria brought out Worcestershire sauce - "scrape off the herb butter on top of the steak & mix it," she said. DELICIOUS. I'm definitely not going to forget the baby arugula salad. That balsamic dressing on it was awesome. Combine the steak, frites, & arugula salad in one bite? HEAVEN :) read more

My friend was raving about this place, and today I finally got to try it. Despite being a Saturday afternoon, probably like 1-1:30pm, and they had a big birthday party area set aside, we were seated in probably 5 minutes as they cleaned off a particular table that we wanted by the windows. Our waitress was extremely nice and very familiar with all the items we asked about. The menu is small compared to most restaurants, but everything on there looked delicious! The food was reasonably priced, especially for how upscale it is. I had the french dip sandwich and it was great, the rosemary fries were yummy too. We will definitely be back, I think this is going to be one of our new top spots for lunch! As an added bonus, you're in the mall so you get to walk around and shop too since you're already there! read more
