Ruscello - OAK BROOK

Our waitress was an angel! I left my card on the table and she chased us through Norstrom to give it back! She also had great recommendations!

We have gone to the cafe in Nordstrom for probably the last 15 years since our children were quite young. It is a great place to bring kids and have really good quality food served in quick fashion. Now that the kids are grown, we still enjoy going becausewe're nowhere going to get delicious meal at reasonable prices served quickly. There is also rarely a wait for a table. Theservers are always friendly and professional. If you happen to go in October, the pumpkin cupcakes with cream cheese frostingare one of the best desserts we've ever enjoyed. A go to location anytime. We're hungry and want to be assured we can get seatedquickly.

I?ve eaten here a couple of times and I feel like this place is kind of a hidden gem at Oakbrook. The quality of the food (for the most part) is super impressive and always fresh. Their French fries are probably my favorite part of every meal there, so sogood. Not so good are the taco appetizers (they are tiny and come in a crunchy shell, don?t let the menu fool you). Also onestar off for the slow service we had today, it took us about 30 min after we were done with our food to close our bill.Otherwise great place and great food if you can catch it at a less busy time!

Came here midday on a Saturday and was sat right away. Our server didn?t greet us for at least 6-7 minutes but was helping out the table right next to us the entire time ? could?ve at least told us she?d be right over. Our coffee was cold and had to beremade. Monkey bread appetizer was good, except for about 1/3 of the bread pieces being burnt and hard. Waited 20 more minutesfor our food after the appetizer came, even though the restaurant was not busy at all. Eggs benedict came out lukewarm,borderline cold and the egg was hard boiled rather than poached. Not very much hollandaise sauce on it either. Overall a prettybad experience, food was not good and very overpriced and the service was very slow.

I always joked that I wanted to have a drink at the bar by the men?s section in Nordstrom, so I finally went for it. HOLY WOW. I tried the blueberry vodka cocktail as well as the billionaire and I was blown away. These are the types of drinks I expect indowntown Chicago or some other metropolis where thought and procedure into drinks are emphasized. Ryan was the bartender and inwatching him, I was blown away with his attention to detail from his double straining down to the zesting of the glass. Pureart. I will 100% come here again as the drinks are on par with seasons 52, Blanco and others. A true hidden gem.
