Sublime! Service spectacular! Our waitress Miranda made us feel very special. Her energy positive and uplifting contagious. Courtney, the manager, checked on us and made sure we were happy. I appreciated the personal attention and professionalism. The food was yummy. No complaints. My only quibble would be with myself that next time I don’t order too many fried dishes, and remember to ask first if it’s fried to be sure.

We had a large party with a rambunctious kid, and our server helped us with such grace and humor ….and patience!! I didn’t catch her name, but initials are TD. A restaurant might have great food, but if service is great too, then you’ve got loyal and returning patrons. Thank you North Italia for providing both!
