As always, excellent dinner at Northstar! Filet Mignon cooked perfectly with peppercorn sauce; Chilean Sea Bass superb. Always attentive service. Dining at 6:45 was a plus as the place started to fill after 7 and was getting somewhat noisy by the time we left.

Have eaten here over 100 times because it’s our “regular spot” but, more importantly, because it’s always reliably great.
