The food was delicious. The service was outstanding. Our family truly appreciated the care that they took in serving food that worked around my niece’s gluten allergy.

Appetizers and steaks were absolutely delicious, cooked to perfection with a beautiful sear, so tender they practically melted in our mouths - a true highlight of the meal! Esteban was knowledgeable and went above and beyond to ensure that our needs were met. He took the time to explain options clearly and offer thoughtful recommendations. Will be back!

Maybe the best steak dinner ever! The crab cake appetizer was excellent as were the sides of potatoes Vesuvio and broccolini. Extremely generous portions and excellent service. The only item that can be more complete is the wine list which was lacking in any Malbec wines and anything below $100. Overall, excellent!

An incredible experience from beginning to end. The food was innovative yet familiar, and each dish was incredible. Our server was outstanding and her enthusiasm when describing the courses and our wine pairings elevated the entire experience. Service overall was comparable to 3+ Michelin starred restaurants. We didn’t expect it to be *this* great, but they’re definitely overachieving at North Pond. Can’t wait for a return visit!
