"N Bistro, just in case you don't know, is the restaurant inside Nordstrom's at Northpark Mall. We'd eaten there previously, but long enough ago I'd forgotten how nice it was. Our return trip on May 11 found the service very attentive, the food was great, drinks were made well, and menu prices vary enough that most price points can be accommodated. I'd recommend reservations, although we went early enough that walk-in customers had no problem being seated. Live music began about halfway through our dinner, but was not overly loud. If you're looking for a location away from chain restaurants or food courts, I'd definitely recommend N Bistro."

"Delightful salads and luncheon fare. I will return, but on a different day than Saturday lunch. Crab Stack was the hit of the table.

"The pear and walnut salad and the crab Louis salad were both excellent. Service was attentive but not obtrusive. Waiter accommodated need for non-sugary dessert and provided a lovely selection of fresh berries.
We reserved a booth at the window and were out of the noisier parts of the restaurant.

"I have only had one thing when I come and that is the cilantro shrimp salad and I have probably been there at least six times. It is just so good I hate to order anything else. Don't ever take it off your menu."

"Food here is generally well-executed - not what you would expect in a midscale tied to a department store - especially in dallas. good flounder special friday night; on-menu shrimp with asparagus risotto was spot-on. generally good service, although neither server nor gm had an idea about their wine list, which is limited but adequate."
