First time here…was the Thanksgiving Day meal. So, not a conventional situation. But every thing was great. Felt a little bit like we were rushed but, it was Thanksgiving—got to turn over those tables! Would definitely return to try their usual menu.

This was our third time going to North the day before Thanksgiving. We have enjoyed the food so much that we’ve made it our tradition. From the pasta to the sauces to the seafood everything is cooked just perfectly. The desserts were also delicious!

Really good Italian food. Wait staff was excellent for our visit. I was impressed with the non-alcoholic drink choices. The entree portions are not massive but certainly enough. Our group loved all of our appetizers and entrees. Appetizers were in the $20 range and entrees $35-40 for the most part.
