    It was a very busy Saturday night so slower service was expected but we had to wait 20 minutes after our reservation time before receiving a table. It also took a long time after we were seated at the table before the server came by to take our drink order. We ordered mussels as an appetizer and they came out raw and so we had to send them back. It seems like our waiter assumed we wanted to space out our meal so each small plate we ordered came out separately. After we finished one, another one came out. Not sure if this was intentional or because it was a busy night. Because we had to wait so long for our table and to receive service, we were absolutely starving when the mains finally arrived. The food was very good (except for the raw mussels). Recommend if you want everything to come at once to tell the server when ordering and expect it to be slow if you are there during a peak night like Saturday.

    We go to North every few weeks and have an enjoyable time. We typically go mid-week and this time was a Saturday. They seemed ill-prepared for a full restaurant, although they are always full most nights and particularly on Saturdays. We waited 20 minutes before being seated (had reservation), waited 20 minutes for wine after ordering it, the 8 oz pour came in a full glass (vs a mini carafe). When the wine glasses were placed, the empty wine glasses brought earlier were left on the table. We each order a salad with piece of salmon. Seems odd that a $30 salad doesn't come with a piece of bread, but I'm used to that at North. But we did a lot of waiting with nothing but water, and ended up with a simple dinner that tallied to over $115 for two people. Just makes one question why they're going here so often...

    The service and food were excellent. We all had different things and everything tasted great. The manager even came by to apologize how long it was taking for our food (it didn't seem like it was taking long at all) and offered us some free appetizers. The meatballs were amazing and so were the zuccha chips ! The only thing that I'm not a fan of is the noise level. We were there at a peak time so the place was packed but it was difficult to hear the conversation at our table. Regardless, I'm looking forward to going back.

    Food was not as good as it used to be. I asked for extra greens, and it looked way to sparse. The Calamari plate had more "other" things on it and less calamari. Service was great, ambience good, noise level reasonable. Not as happy about the place as i used to be.

    Made a 10:00am reservation which is the time they open. First ones in the door and seated right at 10:00, perfect. Maybe 1 or two other tables trickled in behind us but for the most part the restaurant was empty. Ordered food about 10:05. Nothing came out until after 10:30. The kitchen looks like they are cooking for an army and it takes 30 min to get food. What were they doing for 30 min? There was nobody in the restaurant. I ordered steak and eggs. Medium temp on steak. After 30 min of waiting, I get a chewy, damn near still bloody(far from medium) steak. $100 for 3 of us to have breakfast. Terrible value, terrible service. The manager(or someone who acted and appeared as someone in charge) never says a word to us. He is too preoccupied with having meetings with his staff. A disappointing experience from start to finish
