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...

Ignored this place practically my whole life that I have been going to old orchard but happy I stumbled across it. Perfect salads and even better atmosphere. Great place to eat while doing some weekend shopping. I always appreciate when salads are hearty and satiate you, in which their quality matches the hefty amounts that they are charging you. I've found this to be true of their other dishes as well, like their paninis and homemade chips. Definitely have been missing this place since the quarantine has continued to get extended, can't wait to go back.
I went here with my husband on a date afternoon for lunch. The menu looks good and there is something for everyone. The food is somewhat overpriced for what you get. I got a tuna sandwich which was on par of what I could get at Corner Bakery. The spiced chips were very heavy on the spice and not very good. Service was good but the restaurant needs to decide whether it is table service or quick service. This hybrid is kind of strange. As a mom, I noticed a lack of high chairs as well.
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. Book a table now
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!
Good service, conveniently located inside Nordstrom with a calorie conscious menu ... not as nice as the Oakbrook location but not bad either.
Walked around the whole mall. I couldn’t find the location. Book a table now
