Marketplace Cafe At Nordstrom - Skokie

Walked around the whole mall. I couldn’t find the location.

Staff are very friendly and always gets the job done. Food is excellent and never disappoints. I have to thank Alyssa Ward for always being very professional and patient with the customers as well as the rest of the staff

This place is great! Staff is amazing and love love love the food! I really loved the cashier, she was lively, friendly and helpful. Our waiter was quick with our order and was super polite. Will visit again soon!

What happened to the coffee? I have been visiting Marketplace Cafe for over 10 years and it's always been awesome. That is, until a couple of weekends ago when the served us coffee that hardly had any coffee in it! I wonder if this is a weak attempt to save money, but it's not a smart idea. Other than the coffee, the rest of the menu is consistent. They have a secret breakfast menu you can ask for and you can sit outside on the patio when the weather is nice.

Old school in-store dining survives in just a handful of department stores. The chow in this café, which has a combination of counter- and table-service, has been consistently fine through the years. But the décor is starting to look timeworn and, compared to stand-alone eateries of similar caliber, prices are a bit steep. The menu continues to feature both trendy dishes and comfort food standards. I ordered the wild salmon with roasted vegetables and saffron couscous $19.75). The salmon was a tad dry I prefer it grilled or poached), but the portion was more than ample and the fish was expertly seasoned. The generous couscous veggie side was as scrumptious as it was colorful. My Missus began with a cup of tomato basil soup, a longtime menu staple which we've enjoyed here in the past. Her entrée, the grilled skirt steak $22), used to be one of her faves here, but the chef has revamped this dish. The meat is now accompanied by a polenta corn cake and baby carrots, and anointed with salsa and queso. She was not pleased with the toppings or the sides I tasted the polenta and it was really very good). The naked steak, while still delectable, was smallish and not sufficient to satisfy her appetite.
