Besides fashionable clothes and shoes, the Nordstrom store in the soon-to-open City Creek Center also will feature a contemporary diner called Sixth and Pine.

The restaurant will serve breakfast all day, as well as soups, salads, hot and cold sandwiches and diner fare such as roasted chicken, fish and chips and meatloaf. There will be daily specials and, of course, Nordstrom’s signature homemade desserts. Entrée prices will range from $9 to $17.

It will be located on the second floor of the new store in downtown Salt Lake City and will have north-facing windows, said John Clem, Nordstrom’s vice president of restaurants, during an interview from company headquarters in Seattle on Tuesday. It will seat about 130 people, including bar seating at an open kitchen that extends the length of the restaurant.

Nordstrom introduced its Sixth and Pine’s contemporary diner concept about a year ago in Wilmington, Del., Clem said. Since then, the chain has added diners to stores in Nashville, Cleveland and Los Angeles. Besides Salt Lake City, two more are planned in 2012.

"Salt Lake City is a great candidate for the theme," said Clem, who started his career 22 years ago as the manager of the Nordstrom Cafe in Crossroads Mall.

Unlike its sister restaurants, the Salt Lake City Sixth and Pine will be closed on Sundays and won’t serve beer or alcohol.
