Had an errand at Ala Mo's after work so once that was done, it was time for dinner. Since we already were at Nordstrom and the Cafe didn't look too crowded, we dropped in for some small-kine grinds. I was about to order the Panko & Ginger Crusted Chicken Salad but realized they had a Roasted Duck Pizza... We split a Pear, Candied Nut and Bleu Cheese Salad on mixed greens.
I also had a glass of 2009 Estancia Pinot Noir with loads of red cherry and a touch of dried Asian spice. I then dove into my Roasted Duck Pizza which was CPK-like with just enough white cheese to hold the duck and a sweeter hoisin & five spice flavored sauce. After baking it was sprinkled with a Napa cabbage slaw and fried won-ton strips. Great with the Pinot!
The Mrs opted for the Capellini with Spicy Shrimp which thankfully didn't have too much heat (I hate copiously perspiring in restaurants).
We ended the meal with the Cinnamon Apple Bar which basically was a cinnamon laced shortbread cookie sandwich filled with apple jam. Ok but nothing to write home about.
What makes this cafe great is the excellent Nordstrom service! The same service you'll find in all of the other departments.
