Marketplace Café at Nordstrom — Restaurant in Columbia

Tucked in the back of the second floor in Nordstroms inside the Columbia Mall. What a treasure of a cafe, I'm so happy to have stumbled across it. It's very casual, you order at the counter when you walk in and then you seat yourself anywhere. They have so many healthy options at a pretty decent price point. My waitress came by and scanned my receipt and brought out my food. The soup of the day was so good! Hominy, chicken, veggies, sliced raw radish on top and served with a giant cheese crouton.

Its so out of touch and rude to ask for something that should be at the end at the meal when we are satisfied with the service. And when I do take out, if no one its serving me food it’s not appropriate to ask for a tip. Funny thing is the other day when a gentleman was in the register he didn’t ask anything, so I am wondering what is happening. The food is good but they need to improve in...
