Great people watching! You can also bring your well mannered dog to the outdoor dining.

ULTRA DELICIOUS LUNCH ! My wife and I are always on the lookout for a good feed someplace new. THIS IS IT ! We made a pretty big purchase at Bloomingdale's very recently...our first ever and it was a very enjoyable experience. So we thought their in-store restaurant might be worth trying. I looked up the lunch menu online and was pleasantly surprised with the selection...and the prices. On Saturday we arrived at Fashion Island around 1pm. After parking our wheels in the multi level parking garage we walked over here. It was a rainy day so their covered outdoor patio was shut down. We headed inside Bloomingdale's and asked a female sales associate where was the 59th & Lex Cafe ? The lady pointed to our right and there it was. We walked inside at 1.11pm and a friendly server named Hunter said those 2 tables against the wall are in a nice warm location. NOT MUCH GOING ON ! We may have been a bit early for the regular lunch time crowd...there were maybe 2 other diners in sight. Hunter brought us menus.....we wanted all the menus incl the very important dessert menu. We asked for iced waters and very soon 2 huge glasses of iced water arrived. THE MENU ! My wife spotted THE ULTIMATE GRILLED CHEESE ( mozzarella, cheddar, bacon, grilled tomato, sourdough ) includes your choice of Skinny Cut Fries, Steakhouse Fries, Potato Salad, House Salad, Caesar Salad. WHAT A LIST ! We asked Hunter if one was big enough to share...he suggested not. We ordered 2 x Ultimate Grilled Cheese Sandwiches.....mine with Steakhouse Fries while my wife took up an option for Asparagus Soup. Oh and Hunter gave us the option to add Caramelized Onions to our grilled sandwiches. YES PLEASE ! We also asked about Lattes and Cappuccinos..we could see a pretty decent espresso machine behind the cashier counter. Mmmm those 15 oz cups looked a lot bigger than what we wanted. FAST SERVICE ! Our beautifully presented lunch hit the table at 1.30pm. Everything looked very fabulous. The grilled cheese sandwiches were fully loaded and quite large....we could have shared. But gee they were delicious...the caramelized onions took it to the stratosphere. My huge potatoey Steakhouse Fries hit the spot and my wife really enjoyed her well made Asparagus Soup. TOO BAD ! We got though about half of our sandwiches. DESSERT ! They had a very nice selection. We chose the TRIPLE CHOCOLATE MOUSSE ( dark chocolate cake, milk chocolate mousse, white chocolate mousse ). We asked Hunter if he could knock out a couple of cappuccinos for us in smaller cups with 2% milk and Monin Hazelnut Syrup. NO PROB ! Before we knew it Hunter brought out 2 small cappuccinos which he made...they tasted very rich & creamy. Our nicely presented Triple Chocolate Mousse arrived soon after....and tasted totally delectable ! Towards the end of our lunch we had a lovely chat with 2 regulars...female vendors from Neiman Marcus. Martha and Robin were a couple of real life characters....aka Thelma & Louise. Lunch was great and our friendly server Hunter is in the top tier of servers !
