   This is one of our favorite spots in Raleigh for a great meal. I’ve dined here at least 6 times now and the service, drinks, and food have all been consistently excellent. The staff is genuinely enthusiastic about the food and the chef/owner and it’s clear that the culture is one of quality. My favorite entrees are the gnocchi and filet and the hashtag tuna (you will not believe that the broccoli can taste THAT good) but I tried the Beef Wellington last night and was really impressed. Also loved the duck wings and artichoke app. We live near sone pretty awesome restaurants and yet I will make a special trip to go to Northside because it is such a great experience overall. You will not be disappointed!

   We had a wonderful family dinner at Northside Bistro. It was our first trip and the food and service was excellent. With appetizers, deserts, and drinks to go with 4 entrees it's not an inexpensive meal, but delivered a quality that you don't get at the average restaurant. I imagine we will go again sometime in the not too distant future. Definitely worth a try if you haven't been.

    We lunched here 6 months ago and loved the food. Now the food quality has been poor, especially the rice and shrimp dish: overcooked and dried out. The seafood crepe was not on the menu so I substituted another seafood in a pastry shell. The caesar salad was not good and used old romaine. There was a nice crowd at lunch but the noise of the rock music was too much for us. I don't think we will return.

    We had excellent service from our waiter. He arrived at our table within a minute of being seated to take our drink orders and was very attentive throughout our meal. When asked, he made some recommendations that were excellent. The food itself was also excellent - we had a duck appetizer, a gnocchi and beef entree along with a salmon and stuffed crab entree.

    The food here is amazing! We started off with the Brie and Brussels and the Octopus. Both were SO amazing. I had the It’s About Thyme cocktail and it was top notch. For our main courses, I had the gnocchi and beef tenderloin and my husband had the hashtag tuna. Both of which were divine. We finished off with the Nutella Crunch dessert which was, again, amazing!!! Highly recommend this place!

    I thought the ambiance was beautiful and our server was great. She was very attentive and accommodating. The appetizers were fantastic! I highly recommend the mushroom caps. The main courses took a bit of a downturn, though. They were good, but not great…especially considering the price. The gnocchi and tenderloin was amazing, as was the duck. However, I can’t say we overly enjoyed the lobster risotto or the Wellington.

    We have been to Northside quite a few times and enjoyed this visit. Food and service was good as always. Menu, while varied, has changed. A lot of heavy/rich entrees (Beef Wellington, Crabmeat/Salmon) but, oddly, no chicken entrees. Finally, we were seated near entrance and temp was in 40s. They need to do something about the draft. Still good but not as good as past visits.

    4.5/5 Overall we throughly enjoyed our meal and will most definitely be back! Our top favorites of the night — duck wings, ahi tuna, bolognese, beef Wellington. We also had the ceaser which was delicious but dressing was a little watery. Other entrees ordered which were really good but not great, crab stuffed salmon and the short rib. Desserts — million dollar pie is incredible!!! Crème brûlée was just ok. Great ambience, chef checked on table, service is great!

    Our meals were really good. The service was ok. Server would come by every :20.. we had to flag him down to get refills, etc. prices are on the higher side but guests in shorts/jeans. Seems like restaurant can’t decide if it wants to be upscale or very casual.

    The ambiance was inviting and sexy. The March Madness game was on and it still was an amazing experience not like a sports bar but enjoyable game gazing and reactions. Everyone was dressed nicely also. The wait was a bit longer than expected, since we had reservations. That was because previous guests were lingering longer than the hostesses anticipated. The food was great. We had the beef wellington (cooked to perfection). And my gnocchi was pillow soft. If you you're looking for a great place for a night out, this is a wonderful choice. Enjoy!!
