I ordered scallops, they were cold when brought out. The appetizer wasn’t even finished when they came out with the entrees. There was almost nobody there, staff had nothing to do and the service was still subpar. Clearly people aren’t eating here anymore. Very expensive and disappointing.

Dear Kayla, I'm truly sorry to hear about your recent experience. Cold scallops and poorly timed service are not acceptable, and I understand how disappointing it must have been to feel rushed through your meal—especially when the restaurant was quiet. It's clear we missed the mark in both food quality and attentiveness. I’ve shared your feedback with our team to ensure we learn from it and improve moving forward. Your experience does not reflect the standards I expect for our guests. If you’re open to it, I’d appreciate the chance to personally welcome you back and provide the experience you deserved. Please contact me at directly. Sincerely, Norman Bailey Director of Restaurants 41 North

This was one of my worst experiences I’ve had at a dinner. First off, my server was unfriendly from the start. I informed her that I had a cashew allergy and she proceeded to serve me a dish with pistachio nuts. When I informed her I felt anaphylactic symptoms, she proceeded to tell me the dish was nut free. I then asked her to go back to check and upon her return she informed me the dish had nuts. She was incredibly unapologetic, which is bizarre because if I fed someone their allergen I would act accordingly. Due to the cross contamination of nuts, which I was not informed were in my dish, I experienced anaphylactic symptoms. Second, the price of this restaurant is absolutely absurd. To add shrimp to a salad, 41 north thinks that $34 ON TOP OF the cost of the salad is appropriate. I would imagine the shrimp were freshly pulled from the ocean onto my plate for that profound price amount. I ordered mussels which were rubbery, white, and tasted very fishy and salty. As a returning customer, I WILL NEVER return to 41 north grill or recommend to anyone.

Dear Caroline, Thank you for sharing your experience with us. I am deeply sorry to hear about the serious issue regarding your allergy and how it was handled by your server. Your safety is our highest priority, and I regret that we failed to communicate clearly about allergens and provide the care and concern you deserved. Please know that I am addressing this matter personally with our staff to ensure proper allergy protocols and empathy in every interaction moving forward. I truly regret losing your trust as a returning customer. If you’d be willing, please contact me directly so I can better understand and discuss how we might make this right and personally welcome you back and provide the experience you deserved. Sincerely, Norman Bailey Director of Restaurants 41 North

Tonight, I returned to the restaurant and I left with a great experience. The weather made it felt evening better, sitting on the deck enjoying the views. I had calamari for an appetizer, it was very fresh and not overly battered. My entree was the tomahawk steak(first time having one) it was prepared well & flavorful. No sauce was needed. If your in the area swing an dine in. Its an overall experience you must see.

Pasta was overcooked mush. Caviar accoutrements were awful & everything sss served all at once. Mixed bottled water with sparking water. I can have a $500 lunch with better service & food elsewhere.

Your comments are being shared with our team to help improve both our kitchen and service. I truly regret that your visit was disappointing and appreciate your honesty. If you’re open to discussing this further, please feel free to reach out to me directly. Sincerely, Norman Bailey Director of Restaurants 41 North
