    I have been to North a handful of times and have been impressed each time. The food is fantastic and portions are large. Cocktails are probably in my top 3 favorite restaurant drinks! Service is always great.

    We are frequent North patrons but have found, in the last couple of years, that EVERY SINGLE TIME we arrive for our reservation we are never seated. We are ALWAYS asked to wait. 1) There is no place to wait. People are crowded around your hostess stand, right in front of the doors, people are coming and going, people are crowded around the bar (also right next to the hostess stand), to go orders are being picked up or being brought to the “to go” area…it is impossible. 2) There are many unoccupied, empty tables available. 3) You are the ONLY restaurant in town that seems to operate this way. We eat out A LOT and go to many higher end restaurants in town. We always make reservations and we always arrive before our reservation time. North is the only place that refuses to seat us when we arrive. I would get it if you were super busy and no tables were available yet when we arrived. I would get it if, maybe, you had a comfortable, designated waiting area. And I would get it if we arrived with no reservations in place. But none of those things are the case when we arrive at North. I spoke to the “manager” last night, when they once again made us wait to be seated. Her explanation was “we want you to have the best possible experience so do not want to seat you until we have all the servers we need”. First of all, do you think we are having the “best possible experience” when we are pushed, crowded and in the way while we wait to be seated? No, we are not. Why not seat your guests when they arrive, if they have reservations, and if you are waiting for a server to arrive, just tell your guest that. We would much rather get away from the chaos by the front doors and wait at our table. Your current process is not a good one.

    We had never been to North Italia in Leawood and were pleasantly surprised! The service was great, and the drinks recommended by our server were spot on. I had the Sicilian Margarita, and it was delicious. We also had the Zucca Chips as an appetizer, and we loved them! Dinner was the Margharita Pizza and it was delicious as well. It was a great evening! Highly recommend!!
