    This place is a hidden gem - well, maybe not to locals but it was an unexpectedly great find for me. Casual ambience and excellent food. The menu was diverse and interesting. Drinks well made and an interesting wine list. Service hit that sweet spot of attentive but not annoying. As someone who often dines alone, I've experienced the subtle cues from servers who want to turn the table when I am by myself. None of that here. If I am back in Raleigh, I will come back here. Highly recommend.

    Another great meal at the Northside Bistro. Everything from appetizers, through entrees to dessert was creatively prepared and uniformly delicious.
