Nordstrom Grill

7/1/2018
Two Cheeses Confuse and Delight.
Place
Comfy in there.
Calming music was playing overhead.
Felt a bit fancy like you might expect inside of a Nordstrom.
Feels like a steakhouse but was quiet. Filled in later (I got there at 11:30 apparently before the lunch rush).
Bartender said that the French Dip is "their most popular item" and that people freak out and get really sad when they are sold out of it.
Beverages
Started with a nice Argentinian Malbec that was recommended by the bartender.
I also got a Hendricks gin martini with olives and the olives were great.
Side Salad
The salad was a little mushy.
Prime Rib French Dip
Sandwich
Not huge in size.
Sandwich was a 4.
Definitely tasted above average and left a parmesan taste in your mouth upon completion.
Pickle
Sweet
Sweet pickle was provided which was quite fancy and a unique, nice touch.
Bread
Hard but good bread.
Jus
Very good jus that I gave a 5 at first blush but downgraded to 4 over time. Could have been hotter. I think you want the jus to be molten lava hot, Jim Gaffigan.
Non-Meat Toppings
Parmesan nice and pretty rare as a topping on FDs.
Meat
The biggest strike against this sandwich is that it does not give an option to choose the done-ness of the prime rib. It would also be cool if you can choose cut thickness.
Very good French dip with Prime rib but still not a 5 like you'd get from a steakhouse.
My mom had always spoken about my need to go here for the French Dip. I eventually did. And it was a great experience. Special plate/place in my heart.
