YesterdayI took a drive down the 405 to the Irvine Spectrum and met my friend Courtney at Toni and Guy for a hair makeover. After all the pulling, coloring and head abuse I looked fabulous but my stomach was feeling a bit neglected. We hopped on over to the Cafe Bistro inside Nordstrom.
Courtney ordered the Cilantro Lime Shrimp Salad that looked amazing! The shrimp were huge and the tortilla crisps on top were the perfect touch. I went with the Bistro Club Sandwich and a glass of Pinot Grigio. The sandwich was stuffed with sliced chicken breast, greens, bacon, tomato, avacado, french green beans(kinda different but yummy), and the bread was spread wtih a garlic aoli. The french fries were crispy and seasoned to perfection. So tasty and so satisfying!
I expected an overpriced pretentious cafe and it turned out to be pretty casual and reasonably priced. I’m glad I gave it a try and I will most likely go back next time I’m down there for a new do.
