50 NorthEarly Mothers Day Celebrationwe had calamari and crab cakes for start, elegant presentation, quite delicious, only portions were small. for main course I had fish tacos which were perfectly prepared, (similar sauce to the crab cakes - an aioli), mom had the ribs which were good (but not "baby-back") and my wife had the seared sea scallops which were "ok" (too small a portion). For dessert we had the chocalate souffle cake, which was a "B" and apple pie ala mode which had great flavor (apple pieces a little hard). The live music was nice but it made some of our conversation a bit difficult. I love the design and decor and really comfortable booth. Prices were reasonable - about $30 a person.5/10/2013 12:00:00 AM50 North is a great neighborhood50 North is a great neighborhood restaurant? The food is excellent, the service is good and it is a good spot for a grown-up night out or for families. They have awesome live music on Friday nights! I highly recommend this restaurant. And, just to add, that they are very community oriented- check out their guest bartender program and other community giving- makes you really want to support them.5/1/2013 12:00:00 AMWedge and ribs are killer goodThe "Wedge" salad (iceberg with tomatoes, blue cheese & bacon) is to die for. Baby back ribs -- tasty, tender meat that falls off the bones. Drinks are always special. Feel like I've really treated myself after a trip to this restaurant. Hip, efficient, friendly (UW students?) wait staff. Like the bustle of the place.4/30/2013 12:00:00 AMNew to us and we will go back.This was our first time trying open table and I'd never heard of 50 North. The menu looked pretty good and they had a table available so we figured we'd give it a try. We met some friends there and they had arrived early and we seated at our reserved table early, which was great for them! They already had a few drinks by the time we got there. They were pretty happy and well taken care of. My husband ordered the ribs and they were awesome! I had the pork belly wrapped top sirloin which was really good and I loved the truffle oil infused mashed potatoes. The ambiance was very nice. We were kind of surprised to see so many children there, but it wasn't a problem. Overall we are really happy we found the place and we'll be back4/20/2013 12:00:00 AMFantastic gluten-free food.Fantastic gluten-free food.
