Consistent reliable place to bring like your parents or someone with a stroller. I've never had a bad experience here, just some visits are better than others

We had such a great meal at Marketplace Café! After the long shopping the arugula and prosciutto pizza was amazing—the crust was perfectly baked, very interesting combination of flavors. For the kids we ordered the mac and cheese, and it came out creamy, cheesy (they loved it!). We finished with the strawberry shortcake, and honestly it’s the best I’ve ever had— fresh strawberries and a buttery biscuit that was just perfect. Great food, friendly service, and a cozy spot inside Nordstrom

Well we have been loyal and go to all the Nordy’s food places nationwide and the San Mateo Hillsdale Nordy is the closest to our home and to date still go and dine every chance we get multiple times weekly and this review hopefully reaches the person that can make the change for the better.
The servers are fantastic and 100% in our experiences and we all love them. Nonissues at the front of the house :)
In the years past and we saw all the differences that is happening and there has been changes on this location and we the customer feel it because the food is not consistent and management changing seems to go with this pattern.
From burnt pizza to sloppy soup when served on the dish spilled on the plate and sides to rusty salads, soggy under cooked French dip (cold center)and cold centered chicken tenders for the kids and we can name them all etc. but these are all avoidable if the kitchen really cares.
We are sharing info to management because we care and hope it improves and this is not a rant. We have been going to this location for so many years.
Reaching out to the new management to please save out favorite Nordy Market Place so we can all enjoy it for more years to come. Thank you for reading this long review and yes we still care and will still visit multiple times a week. :) see you soon.
