Nordstrom Cafe

Good salad and clearly marked GF dishes.

Food is delicious, but they need to post more GF options, and staff need to exude more confidence and clarity about ingredients.

They have gluten free pastas and other gluten free options. I got the steak, it was very good.

Lovely place, but I was sick after my salad (I’m a very sensitive Celiac). They also advised me the gf pasta is boiled with the regular pasta

My friend and I were looking for a quiet place to have lunch near Columbus Circle and they did a great job. Several nice appetizers were labeled GF on the menu, and most of the pasta dishes could be made GF.

GF items are marked with a cross. GF pasta and flatbreads available. Ask to speak to the chef and they will help you out! They are very knowledgeable and cautious when seriousness is communicated. No dedicated fryer so watch out for crispy add ons.

I had the crab, mango, and arugula salad. It usually comes with a toasted baguette, but obviously that was left off. The kitchen is visible to the dining room, and I could hear the waiter report to the chef and the chef report to the rest of the crew that they needed to take celiac precautions. They all switched gloves and use clean utensils. Apparently their previous manager was celiac so they all seemed to be on the same page. The salad was extremely delicious!
