   Our appetizers were good . We were encouraged, fried duck legs were very good and the octopus tostado was equally as good . Our meal was not . When the menu says lobster tail with risotto and crab stuffed shrimp I was excited . Only they gave me rice and called it risotto , big diff, and , zero lobster. The duck dish was not eatable , the sliced duck was gray and tough like the carrots on the plate . They were uncooked and dry . The reason the noise level was ok was we were put in a terrible table in the back after making a reservation WAY in advance as it was a special occasion , we were a party of 2 . Our server was very friendly. Will not be returning.

   Our table of 6 was available at our reservation time of 6:30pm on a Saturday evening. Drinks and appetizers were delivered very timely. The kitchen was "backed up" a bit due to the large number of patrons, so the entrees arrived later than desired, but all is good with drinks and good company. The entrees were delicious!!! and well worth the wait. Everyone in the group is looking forward to our next visit.

   The food was great but very pricy for the amount I received. The service was less than adequate. It took our waiter over an hour to take our order after I flagged him down and I never knew is name. When we did order, the nightly dinner specials were unavailable. After our food was delivered by a nice food runner, but I didn't see our waiter again until I flagged him down again for a dessert menu for our birthday guest which was noted in our reservations. The place was packed which seemed fine until you needed to use the bathroom which were out of order. No bathrooms and towels lined the area where the bathrooms/kitchen were located. Owners were around, but nobody asked how our evening was going. I will think again about coming here.

   Average age 65 @ 5:45 Friday evening, the music was too loud. Beef Wellington was $52.00, very fatty and lukewarm. The blue cheese grits were delish. The tyme cocktail recommended by the server, $14 & small. IF the meal is delish & cocktails, great, we don’t care about the price. We asked for bread. Later in the meal we asked a different server for more bread & he never brought it. Finally we got bread, no butter. Too much money for just ok food. Cafe Tiramisu, across the street, is so much better, cheaper and bigger cocktails. Care Tiramisu servers are “on it” too! We’ve been twice to Northside and we won’t go a third time.

    The food was excellent and full-flavoured (especially compared to other US restaurants), as expected for the premium prices charged. The ambience was good - lively conversations around us helped lift the vibe. That said, the space we were in was quite cold and very noisy, with goldfish-bowl acoustics. Service was brisk and satisfactory, but not that friendly - they were very busy though. A popular venue.

    This chef and his team always do an amazing job with training the staff but most importantly, the food and cocktails are consistently AMAZING. My hubby is very particular about what he eats (great chef himself) and we both love this place. It also helps that the owner/chef loves to swing by the tables to say hi to all of the customers. A great neighborhood restaurant! Thank you!

    The noise level is high. The food is thoughtfully and deliciously prepared. It's a well-lit long room with set up almost like a deli in New York. There are booths as well as tables. There are excellent drinks and quite unusual appetizers. Most of the entrees contain meat.

    The food at the Northside Bistro is consistently interesting, well prepared and delicious. It is one of those restaurants that hits on all cylinders- great appetizers, terrific entrees and spectacular deserts. We go back often because there are many things on the menu we still haven’t tried. The service is also top notch.
