    Our server was a delight, and the drink pours are generous. The food is okay. I would stay away from the fried artichoke hearts though. The breading is heavy and flavorless.

    Our time at Northside Bistro exceeded our expectations. First of all the blueberry mule is probably the best cocktail I’ve ever had. Pasta and salmon were both delicious. Dessert was also a tasty treat of apple cake and cinnamon ice cream. The service was really fabulous. We will definitely be back.

    Ordered grouper dish (which must have been plugged in to replace the scallops). The grouper was served raw. I returned the plate and it was given back to me having been microwaved.

    Food and service was excellent, outstanding. Some items were unavailable on the menu but my party arrived later in the evening, but this did not hinder the experience. The ambient music was a bit loud forcing others to raise their voice, so maybe they can turn it down a bit in the future. We had a great time and would recommend to anyone!

    It was my first time but I’ll definitely be back. The food and service were fantastic. We asked to split an entree and they split it in the kitchen which is always appreciated. Loved it!
