    Happy Hour at North is always a good time - especially on Wednesday night when they offer 1/2 price bottles of wine. Our food and drinks were delicious as always. Unfortunately tonight, our server was pretty bad. The only time he came to our table with out us having to flag him down was when we first arrived and he brought us water. Other than that every time we needed anything - to place our order, a another drink, our check..... we had to stop him as he walked by. By the end of our time we were laughing about it. I would expect more from this type of place.

    The good: Both of our dishes were excellent (SPICY RIGATONI VODKA and TUSCAN HALF CHICKEN). The sweet corn & polenta was sooooo good. The bad: The earliest dinner reservation we could get was for 4:30, so you really have to plan ahead at this place. It’s also not cheap. Our tab was > $100 for two people. (Two cheaper menu items, 3 drinks.) But worth it!

    Meh. First experience and likely not a return trip. The way it’s set up you cannot have a quiet conversation, and instead hear everything other tables are talking about. Service was on the slower side. Food was good but not worth a 30min drive for!

    Sunday is apparently new cook training day. The food was not on the usual level of excellence. Pasta was woefully undercooked and under-seasoned. Portions were inconsistent as well. Service and ambiance were great, as always. We’ll go back, we’ll just skip doing it on a Sunday.

    North offered a nice selection of pastas and other offerings. The Cesar salad was large and easily shareable. The pesto chicken pasta was delicious. The bolognese was very good but not as thick and meaty as one might expect. The prices for the size entrees were reasonable. The noise level is high. We were very disappointed that the open kitchen area directly behind the seating area seemed to be continually dropping dish tubs or throwing serving ware into tubs. It was very loud and distracting. It made for an unpleasant atmosphere and difficulty in having a conversation.

    This was my third time coming here. First time was this location and I was blown away by the strozapreti. Second time was the location in Austin,Texas and no matter the location I still experienced a local yet elegant feel. The food was just as amazing there as it is here. I will be coming back again and again. Thank you for the absolutely delicious food and experience.

    Our meatball appetizer was stone cold and our roasted bread was drowned in olive oil. In addition, our server didn’t come to check on us for 20 minutes after we were seated. Very disappointing.

    There were a lot of flies swarming around, assuming since they had the door propped open. They were all around us. Our server didn’t seem busy, but couldn’t seem to refill any drinks unless we asked him each time we could grab him. Then he filled them 1/2 way. Thank goodness we had another server nice enough to stop by to ask if we needed anything.

    We were celebrating my Son's 25th birthday. They graciously moved our table away from the patio exit so we were extremely comfortable even though in the middle of the room. Our server was so attentive and let us take our time delivering food & exceptional service all evening. Great Work!!

    Have dined here multiple times and food is consistently good. Was disappointed in our service this time as we had to continually ask for additional drinks and main entrees took along time. Our reservation was for 5 pm so wasn’t overly busy and when you spend +$250 for 4 people for dinner and drinks your experience should be better!

    Very good Italian food. I know Northern Italian food (due to marrying into Northern Italian family) and the food is good. They had a twist to polenta (a favorite) which was really good.

    Dined on a Sunday afternoon. Food delivery was very slow, and two of the entrees were just warm, not hot. We waited 15 minutes for our dessert. We usually have great food and service here, so we were disappointed. Maybe it was just a bad day.

    Food was good as usual. Service was off this time. Waiter seemed annoyed when we asked for some basic things like straws, to split entrees, bread service (no plates provided), refills on tea and water. Not sure if he was overly busy but definately not the pleasant norm of North service.

    I go to North all the time. This time I took a client to lunch. I had the side salad with salmon. Their salmon is always so tasty!! Get the dressing on the side as they put it on heavy!! One of my favorite meals though!! Also love the Zucca Chips! I have one complaint... I wish they did not put the calories on the menu!!! Then I wouldn't feel guilty about ordering the other amazing things on the menu!!! What I don't know won't hurt me:)

    The food is delicious. We’ve eaten here 20+ times and never been displeased. It’s very popular and open floor concept, just know if you are adverse to noise or hearing impaired. Also, the service is slower than comparable dining establishments so be prepared to relax and enjoy good conversation ☺️
