    This was an excellent experience and wonderful time. The food was spectacular but the service really stood out and was stellar. Our server was fantastic. I believe her name was Jonah.

    We were deeply concerned with the fact that we never received a gift card that was issued 6/11/25 for $150. after several calls and messages to the restraunt issue was still not resolved finally after a 45 minute wait we were told we were all set. Honestly if it had not been for Johnna our waitress we would have left, not ONE word from the manger extremely POOR customer service on his part. Food was delicious, view was lovely but wish our issue had at the very least been acknowledged by the general manager. We are grateful we had such a fabulous waitress who helped make our 38th wedding anniversary special! Kudos to her and honestly NOT the person in charge who walked by us several times!
    The Grill at Forty 1 NorthResponded on June 27, 2025
    Dear Betsey, Thank you for sharing your experience with us. I want to sincerely apologize for the frustration and inconvenience you experienced with the gift card issue and the lack of communication from our management team. This is certainly not the standard of service we aim to provide, and I deeply regret that we let you down. It’s wonderful to hear that Johnna was able to help make your 38th wedding anniversary special. She truly embodies the level of care and dedication we strive for in all of our staff. I will be sure to personally pass along your kind words to her! Thank you again for your feedback. We would love the opportunity to make things right and provide you with a more positive experience. Norman Bailey Director of Restaurants 41 North

    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.
    The Grill at Forty 1 NorthResponded on June 17, 2025
    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
