Each dish was full of flavor and delicious. Service, from Bre, was likewise terrific; professional but very friendly. But value-for-money is lacking. For the price-point, portions are mostly on the small size for the price. No bread service, somewhat surprising given ownership (Cheesecake Factory, not exactly known for tapas-like dishes). A left hat on the chair had not been bussed, luckily for me upon returning 6-7 minutes later but not a good sign of how tables are cleaned between guests. Related, the male at the front desk didn't care when I asked if they had it. Seeing the table open, I went up to where I knew I had left it and while the table was reset, it was sitting on the chair still. That kind of thing, against these price-points, is somewhat telling along with the portions. Good to have tried but we have lots of Italian restaurants, including many locally-owned ones, around that check more boxes for us.

Celebrated my birthday with my family here. We had a great time and enjoyed the atmosphere. Loved our appetizers and main entrees. The bombolini was delicious, the tiramisu tasted okay did not taste much if espresso.

We are big fans of North but today was not North’s best day. We sat down at 12:15. Service was extremely slow and piecemeal. Our pizza finally made it to our table at 1:15. It was delivered by the Manager (good sign) but he told us that the pizza had a “hole” in it but they put it back together (not a good sign). They ultimately brought us another one and we weren’t charged for any pizza. Not much of a face-saving effort. North is too good of a restaurant to bring a pizza with a hole in it to a table one hour after we sat down. Would love to hear your feedback.

Went for dinner on Christmas Eve and it was wonderful. Very good food and service. It would have been nice to hear Christmas music instead of every day music. Overall excellent
