    Everyone’s food was good except the Whitefish. It was mediocre at best. The desserts were amazing.

    Northside Social is always a solid choice. They have a great menu, bar, fun seasonal cocktails and great wines by the glass. Our server was busy but super attentive, can't wait to go back!

    It was 1/2 price wine Wednesday which is always a fun night and busy. I had the Steak Frites and while NY strips aren't my favorite cut of meat, it was excellent and cooked perfectly. My friend had the Shrimp Scampi which she loved. Fun evening.

    Karen was our server and she was very professional and friendly. Our friends went to the wrong restaurant so we were there longer than expected. She never made us feel rushed to turn over her table.

    Thank you so much for the great review! Karen is a house favorite and we are so lucky to have her. :) We look forward to serving you again soon!
