    Our service was great! Food was pretty good. No mushrooms on our truffle burger. New York strip was quite overcooked. Wine was not good. Love the atmosphere and service, will try again even though part of our food was not great.

    Overall our experience was ok, but not great. We waited 80 minutes for our food and when our food finally arrived, one of the dishes was cold to lukewarm. If the service was more prompt, we’d likely eat at Smuggler’s at North again.

    Lucky to have a restaurant of this caliber in Newagyo! They checked all the boxes - amazing food, gorgeous dining room, and spectacular outdoor dining patio. Menu has enough options for everyone to find something they like, but isn't a gigantic menu like some restaurants offer. The food presentation is always great and you can tell most everything is prepared in-house by a talented kitchen team The dinnerware is modern and in great shape - even the kids meals are served on nice plates. I'd rate the taste food as 95%, but there's some room to perfection if you ask me to be a critic. For example, the bun on the po'boy was somewhat stale and could have been steamed or toasted to improve the texture. I've found some of the meats to be overly salty and would prefer to add salt myself, after the first bite. Service has typically been great. The host has been attentive, waitstaff has been friendly, and food comes out quick. Again, I'd rate this overall a 95%, but still some room for improvement such as watching drinks more frequently and bringing the check sooner. This would be especially needed for the lunch crowd, where some customers may want a faster dining experience. For a weekday lunch, I'd be delighted to pay the check immediately after the food comes, since often times we're wanting a quick lunch, then get back to work promptly.

    We had a server that said she was new. I never would have known that! She did such a great job. I tipped her 30% which I've never done before. She was incredible and the food was amazing.

    The service was terribly slow and not many customers for it to be that slow. We waited at least 20 minutes to get menus, then another long wait for ordering. Least 40 minutes to get meal, the meal took 2 1/2 hours which should have been an hour! 3 out of 4 meals was very good but the 4th one was awful, the chicken strips hardly had any meat mostly breading. The meat had freezer burn taste.

    We had the frog legs and they were amazing I wish they were a regular on your menu so good. The food took close to an hour to receive they were pretty busy so that was a little longer than hoping.
