    Three of us went for brunch and we loved the juevos rancheros. The overall experience was just fine, with an attentive waitress, appropriate noise level, appealing menu and tasty food. The only complaint we had was that it was cold in the restaurant - to the point where I put my coat back on because cold air was noticeably coming out of the air handling system and chilling me, even though I was in long sleeves. The ceilings are pretty high in the restaurant, and we were halfway through eating, so doing something wouldn't have done any good for us at that point, so I didn't bother mentioning it to the staff, but it was uncomfortable after awhile.

    Great for a low key, yet romantic date. Lovely atmosphere. Good ambiance. Loved the veggie burger.

    North Light Lounge is a restaurant that my friends and I go to about once a month for brunch. The food is awesome and the wait staff is very courteous, accommodating, and just really do their job well. I do wish that they would bring back their breakfast sliders.

    I picked North Point because I had a limited window of time for brunch, and it's one of few places that allow reservations. Not only did we not have to wait in a ridiculous line, the food was fantastic! I had Huevos Rancheros - and the food was generously portioned and well prepared. Our server was friendly and attentive, and the ambiance was relaxed without being diner-y. I'd definitely return to North Point for another meal- even if I did have the time to wait in one of those crazy brunch lines!

    We were pleasantly surprised by this place. We were looking for a reasonably priced blend of comfort food and great drinks and that is exactly what we got. Not fussy, but right in the pocket. We liked it a lot and will go back again.

    The wedge salad was non traditional but delicious; prepared with fresh, garden leaf lettuce, subtly and perfectly dressed with bacon and blue cheese crumbles. Similarly, the General Tso's chicken was not served in the typical style, yet it was a happy surprise! All four of us enjoyed our meals, and the friendly, appropriately attentive, unpretentious staff and ambiance. We'll be back!
