    The food is delicious and worth the price. The service was warm, inviting, and on point in attending to the table. We plan to make Thanksgiving Dinner at Whiskey Red's a regular event and will try to come on off-season events. You get your money's worth during the Thanksgiving event.

    Food was great. I love their pasta and we really enjoyed all of our appetizers as well. Service was meh. We had to wait in the cold until our whole party had arrived - not even got offered to sit at the bar in a completely empty place. Also at a $400 tab, I expect not getting the check handed in a machine like ordering a $5 latte...

    We sat at the bar for happy hour - excellent menu selection with awesome prices! I did find the bar area louder than sitting in the restaurant (only a few feet away but it was manageable. Food, service, and drinks were on-point. Bar seats seem to be hard to get and I think we got lucky.

    We celebrated my mom’s birthday here at North, and had such a blast. We keep coming back because the food is fresh, delicious, and you get the most bang for your buck. We ordered the Lasagna Bianca Al Forno, Squid Ink Tonnarelli & Tuscan Half Chicken. There was plenty to share, with leftovers. Our server was nothing short of lovely - she took care of us with a smile on her face. We sat on the patio with our pup - it had started raining, so the patio area was covered and the heaters were on. Such a warm and toasty ambience. The dining room is so gorgeous, but got a little too loud - there was an echo that made conversation a little hard (even from the patio), but we all loved people watching. Thank you, North Italia! We’ll keep coming back for consistent, amazing, authentic Italian food. We have a blast with y’all.
