I noticed recent activity at the in-store restaurant on the third floor of Santa Monica Place’s outpost of Nordstrom. It appears that what was formerly Blue Stove is transforming into a “casually sophisticated” bistro, Bazille. It looks like they’re not too far from opening, but until then, you can compare menus here.

Mateo’s Ice Cream and Fruit Bars just opened a new location at Santa Monica Blvd/Colby in West LA.
Thanks for that! I’ll check it out…
