Can you tell me what nonrestrictive means? I know in general it's obviously something without restrictions. Little to no rules, possibly

Hey, sorry. My phone died lol I was thinking it's the mall too :/ It's probably because it's an ambiguous choice of pronoun. "My" could refer to Jim or the speaker. Bummer. I would've picked the mall too, if it's any consolation lol
