    I was shopping at Nordstroms with my mom and we were getting our dresses tailored there for a wedding in August since I was a Bridesmaid. We booked a table at Bistro Verde. My mother and I both ordered steak Caesar salads and diet cokes. Our food came quickly and it was delicious. Our waitress was really kind, attentive, and answered all of our questions. They put a lot of steak on our salads and the salad was pretty big so the portions were beyond perfect. The steak was also cooked exactly the way I liked it. I love my steak bloody and they really cooked it with that in mind. I was also beyond impressed with how beautiful it was out on the terrace. I had many photo opportunities on the roof. Even though some of the other patrons were kind of unpleasant. (At no fault of the restaurant), we still had a great time. I would give my dining experience at Bistro Verde a 10 out of 10, but unfortunately I can only leave five stars.

    The Pappardelle Bolognese & Meatballs with Gluten Free Pasta
    Ashlea M.

    The food here is amazing. I've eaten here a few times while visiting the store to do some shopping or visiting a friend who works in the store. The staff is always super nice and accommodating. When we got there is was slightly crowded but we didn't have to wait long for a table. Once seated in a preferred booth, the server came to take our orders promptly. I particularly like that they can do their pasta dishes with gluten free noodles as an option. When I was there on my most recent visit for lunch with friends we split the Ginger Sesame Salad and I ordered the Pappardelle Bolognese & Meatballs with gluten free noodles. One friend had the Crab Mac & Cheese which was good and rich with nice chunks of crab. We also ordered drinks and a dessert since one friend wasn't able to drink. For cocktails we got the Amelia which was very tasty and festive. For dessert my friend ordered the brownie with ice cream. I tried it and almost cried lol. It was very rich and melted in your mouth and the ice cream was the best compliment. I look forward to my next visit and exploring more of the menu.

    Shrimp Pasta
    George A.

    Who would have thought there was good food, great service, and an amazing view inside of women's Nordstrom on the 5th floor? All the dishes were equally delicious. The most unique one for me is the roast French dip. Actually I tried the shrimp pasta. It was good by very greasy. And for $25 that's a bit much.

    First of all, the outdoor ambience on the rooftop was incredible. Our waiters were super friendly and accommodating, even switching my friend's drink when it wasn't what she anticipated which was wonderful. The drinks were strong and for happy hour the prices couldn't be beat for legit cocktails with a kick. The calamari and spinach artichoke dip were also delicious. I loved the aperol theme, they even gave us props to take pictures with! I can't wait to come back, I couldn't recommend it enough.

    Conveniently located on Level 5 of Nordstrom's flagship in NYC! We stopped by for their summer pop-up on their outdoor patio which has an Aperol inspired theme. It's so cute with all the orange accents and diff aperol and summer themed cocktails. We also had some small bites. Staff was so friendly and the food was delicious. Perfect spot to stop for lunch between shopping. Enjoy!

    French 75 and Amelia. I didn't take a pic of the food because the drinks were amazing. You have to find Jose!!!

    I go here at least once a month. The service is fantastic. The wait staff, the manager and especially my favorite bartender Jose make it worth the visit. It is a great atmosphere and it makes visiting the store worthwhile. I usually purchase online for pick up in store so that I could drop by. We discovered the Shoe Bar in 2020 and found out about Bistro Verde later. I get my usual, the Nordstrom burger with the Beyond patty, no cheese and French fries and a French 75 (2 ) on the side. I have brought my sister, mother, aunt and best friends here on various occasions. It is worth visiting and oh yeah Nordstrom is also worth the visit.

    Superb service and delicious food. Had no idea what I was walking into for a Wednesday dinner but it turned out to be perfect.

    Lobster bisque bowl
    Ames C.

    Surprisingly the food here is very tasteful. I came here with one of my friends for lunch after shopping (loved that there is a restaurant within Nordstrom, makes it very convenient). We ordered lobster bisque bowl, wild salmon oscar, crab mac & cheese and crisp calamari. Everything was so good and hearty. The one thing I regretted not ordering is a bowl of salad or vegetable to balance out our meal. The service was quick and pleasant. The time we went which was a weekday wasn't so crowded.

    I hate giving 3 stars, but there were 3 too many things wrong. Pros *Artichoke and Spinach dip: savory and flavorful. By far the highlight of the meal. Drizzle some olive oil over the break for a little more richness. *The blueberry almond with ice cream was slamming. Fantastic like a nice light crunch while maintaining moistness. *Nelson, our waiter, was FANTASTIC!!! We love him! Cons *The fry on the halibut was great, but the chips were just ok. What was truly disappointing on the plate were the pickles. They didn't know if they wanted to be sweet or sour. Essentially they were some soggy cucumber slices. *Seared Steak and Bleu Cheese It sounded so good on the menu, but this really misses the mark. Everything needed a smaller dice to match the size of the barley, especially the pears. The kale was too tough and could have benefitted from a smaller slice. The barley should have been cooked till softer. And when you say steak and blue cheese, your expect something richer, which is because could have been achieved with more bleu cheese. I would come back again for a quick bite/coffee while shopping but if you are looking for an exceptional dining experience, in my opinion, this ain't it.

    Was working a week long job at Nordstrom's and dined at Bistro Verde everyday for lunch out of convenience since it was located in the same building. To my surprise, the food is really great! The French dip, chicken tacos, burger, and fish and chips really hit the spot! It's a bit on the pricey side... but what made the experience the absolute best was the bartender Jose!!! HE IS THE MAN!!! BEST SERVICE EVER! THANKS SOO MUCH JOSE!

    An unsuspected surprise when a gem of a restaurant is nestled in a department store. Our waitress wasn't the most helpful or friendliest, but we may have caught her in a bad night. We headed here after my daughter finished running the NYC Marathon and it was the perfect selection for all of us being hungry after a long day. The burger had to be cut in half to eat it and although I ate to much, there were zero regrets. It was the burger (3 of 8 8 of us ordered and finished it) you seriously get a handful of times in a lifetime- serious golf clap to the chef! My daughter and three others went with the French Dip that was toasted and seasoned to perfection. And the fries matched both sandwiches perfectly. I'm not in the city often, but this is worth a second visit.

    Mushroom Campanelle (vegetarian version without chicken)
    Neha G.

    I stopped by and ordered takeout for dinner. Located on the top floor near the restrooms. The place was busy but still lots of seating open. It took awhile to get the meal (maybe 20ish) minutes so things are likely made fresh which is good. The seating area large with tables that can accommodate 2-4 at tables. There is also a bar with seating. Staff were friendly. My order was nicely packed to go in recyclable boxes. I was pleasantly surprised at how good the food was! I was worried since there wasn't much for vegetarians on the menu. However the cashier was helpful in suggesting the mushroom campanelle without chicken ($22.50). This was really good! Comes with a garlic bread slice. I got the roasted cauliflower with ginger sesame ($19). The portion size was huge! Definitely shareable. It's a salad with a bed of cauliflower and crispy wontons sprinkled on. Dressing on the side. Finally for dessert I got the signature lemon ricotta cookie ($4). The cookie is large and should be shared...600 calories! Ha! A little heavy on the icing but overall good.

    My wife and I took our kids (10 and 16 year old boys) to this place on our last evening in NYC. We…read morewere looking for a place that had a nice ambiance and good food. Ambiance: This place has a nice ambiance, definitely very "New York" -- dark (you can't see how dirty the floor is) and loud music (maybe too loud). We sat upstairs (we had a reservation) and of all the people on the top there was a party of 4 (us), a party of 8 (all dudes celebrating something) and the rest of the tables were on a DATE - which I thought was funny. Service: We were served by Ann-Marie who was so delightful. She was kind, super nice, and took the time to speak to us (which is basically how we figured out she wasn't a native New York City person). She gave us good food suggestions and we were very happy with our selection. Food: Here is what we ordered * Steak Frites: My two boys got the steak frites and I have to say the steak was awesome! I had a bite of each of theirs and they each ordered it differently (one Medium Rare/Medium and one Medium) and they both were prepared PERFECTLY. The fries were overflowing. * Caeser Salad with Salmon: My wife got the salad with Salmon (they only have a few salad options) and she enjoyed it. * Prawn and Crab Risotto: I got this and I have to say it was VERY bland. I wouldn't get this if you are looking for taste. I had to put salt and pepper on it to make it have any semblance of taste. Value/Price: I would say this is not over priced but it is not cheap either...bill is attached. I would recommend it to folks who are looking for a good place to either go out on a date or a family type meal.

Service was good. We had the fried chicken Benedict and the crab cake Benedict. I was a bit confused when I saw that each Benedict dish only had one poached egg - shouldn't it always be two? I guess that's shrinkflation (plus inflation) for you. That bent said, the crab cake was actually really big and filling. The side of potatoes were really delicious. Would I come back for brunch again? Very unlikely. But, it does seem like a pretty "safe choice" if you need a last minute reservation for a group.

    Monkey Bar became one of my favorite Midtown restaurants because its modern history ran almost…read moreperfectly alongside my years in New York. I arrived in 2008 with very little, and when Graydon Carter revived the restaurant in 2009, I was beginning a rise of my own, first at a large global bank and then, to my astonishment, at one of the city's most powerful investment firms. The suits were daily, the walls were gold, and the pressure was so consuming that even success could feel like a form of attrition. After a few years, I moved to a smaller firm with Southern roots, where the culture was more humane, the work gave me greater autonomy, and I produced some of the strongest results of my career, even within an industry still governed by fear, greed, and status. Inside, the red booths, low lighting, generous spacing, and hand-painted monkey murals made lunch feel ceremonial without becoming stiff. The room was timeless and handsome, with polished service, quality food, and the subtle assurance of a place where you could be proud to bring someone important. I especially remember sitting in one of those booths with two mentors, each only a few years older than I was and therefore close enough in vintage to feel relatable, trustworthy, and genuinely within reach. One had entered my life after I left the larger firm and helped me understand an earlier chapter that had also ended abruptly and, at the time, felt deeply unfair; the other had guided me through the smaller firm where I finally found a more sustainable way to work. Over that long lunch, I introduced them, we discussed several promising ideas, and for a moment my career seemed to have reached the point where relationships, experience, and opportunity were finally converging. One of those ideas consumed an extraordinary amount of my time and energy, and I believed it might become the foundation of my next chapter. Instead, the arrangement eventually turned on me, the role I thought I had earned never materialized, and the business itself sputtered. My professional life, financial footing, and pride all collapsed just as COVID was beginning. Then Monkey Bar closed in 2020, which made the ending feel almost unnervingly complete: the restaurant, the city, and the version of myself built around New York finance all went dark at once. For years, I experienced that ending as devastating and unfair; now I can see it as wisdom delivered through an unnecessarily rough process. The restaurant's later revival by a Chicago hospitality group feels fitting because it still honors tradition and ceremony while allowing the old forms to evolve into something healthier, looser, and more current. I have not been back since that lunch, but a return now would feel like visiting the museum of my past, not reclaiming a life that asked too much, gave too little, and finally lost its hold on me. Even now, I remember Monkey Bar as a great Midtown lunch in a memorable room, surrounded by the residue of old ambitions and the gratitude of having survived them. The cocktails were sharp, the service was impeccable, and the dining room carried that glamorous old New York energy without feeling trapped by it. I remain deeply fond of the place, partly for what it was and partly for what it witnessed. Some restaurants become attached to a chapter of your life, and Monkey Bar holds mine with unusual grace.

    The truffle monkey bread while a total carb and calorie bomb was delicious and left a lasting…read moreimpression. It featured a crispy, sugar-glazed exterior and a soft, chewy interior, topped with truffle cheese and served with a truffle butter dip; the pairing was superb, and it tasted great both on its own and with the dip. For the main course, I ordered the miso-glazed black cod. The flavor was flawless, and while the portion was small (which was acceptable), the pool of broth accompanying it was completely unnecessary; it was inedibly salty, so what was the point of serving it? After finishing the fish, I was left with a plate full of broth, rendering the plate unusable. Plus, it was overpriced; for this dish, you're better off going to Strip House Strip House remains the undisputed king of this dish in New York. A friend ordered the chicken parmesan. It was just average. Another friend ordered the short rib stroganoff. The flavor was decent, but it was far too rich and heavy. As someone whose palate is split 50/50 between Western and Chinese cuisine, I could manage only five bites at most. If you have a palate that prefers 100% Chinese food, proceed with caution on this dish. Friends ordered sides of mac & cheese and mashed potatoes. These are dishes originally meant for low-income Americans to fill up on cheaply; there's no limit to how good they can be, but also no floor to how bad they can get. Both were on par with the average quality found in upscale restaurants. Honestly, these are two dishes I would never order myself. To sum up: the atmosphere was great. It's also hard to get a reservation; the place was packed when we had lunch at 2 PM. Aside from that monkey bread, I didn't feel like anything else justified the price or offered something you couldn't find elsewhere. I don't quite get the hype. Perhaps I just didn't order the right dishes; maybe next time I'll try the burger and the steak.
