We loved the food and service. It was a slow night but our server was amazing. Kudos to the cook for an amazing meal. We will definitely be back. More advertising is needed as we almost forgot about this place.

Really good. Food was delicious, a bit pricy, but oh well. I had a chili chicken sandwich and the chicken was high quality, crispy, but juicy. Their calamari is great, and the fries are pretty damn good. The deserts are spectacular! Definitely made my night, I had the cheesecake brownie, which was perfectly sweet and salty, and super rich. Staff are nice, the place is clean and very good-looking to add on to that. 10/10, definitely would recommend.

Myself and partner had such a great experience! Our service was excellent, the food was DELICIOUS, and the drinks were perfect. The atmosphere was relaxed and private. Big fan of the Cajun chicken Mac and cheese- super tasty and the portion size is enough to feed a hungry adult and have a take away with you! Highly recommend all around!!

I recently had dinner at North 48, and while the restaurant's beautiful layout and modern design left a great first impression, the service I received was disappointing. The atmosphere was sleek and stylish, creating an inviting space that made me eager to try the menu. I ordered the Tuscan chicken, which was absolutely amazing—perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection. The quality of the food certainly lived up to the restaurant’s reputation. Unfortunately, the service did not. Although the restaurant closes at 10 PM (referring to the kitchen, not the building), my experience took a downturn around 9:30 PM. My server, Emily, who I was later informed was the manager that night, approached me to let me know that the bar was doing a last call. I was fine with that and ordered another drink. However, just two minutes later, she returned with the bill and insisted that I pay because she wanted to close out on cash or something similar. This made me feel rushed, despite having about 30 minutes left before closing time. To make matters worse, she never asked if I needed anything else, nor did she offer a dessert menu. As someone who works in the industry, I understand the need to wrap up for the night, but chasing out customers who still have unfinished food or drink is simply unacceptable. Overall, while the food and ambiance at North 48 are top-notch, the service I received from Emily was far from it. For someone who was managing that night, her approach was unprofessional and left a sour taste in an otherwise delicious meal.

The good: the service was too notch! Our server was very attentive and friendly and got our orders spot on. The okay: the place feels a bit dated as it looks exactly like a former restaurant that occupied the same place; the music was nice though. The not so good: two of the four dishes we had were great! They were both chicken parmigiana. The appetizers were pretty good though the Brie dish was rather sparse for the price....but.....my dish ( the cod fish tacos) wasn't what I expected for the price. I got two very small pieces of battered cod in two partially crunchy flour tortillas. The cod wasn't the freshest and felt a bit overcooked. My daughter had the honey chilli glazed chicken sandwich. The flavor of the chicken was rather bland and the honey seemed like it was an afterthought as there was none on the chicken and the bottom bun was soaking in it! At $227.00 for four people (before gratuity), I did expect better. Great service, mediocre food. I'm giving a rating of 3.5 stars. Maybe worth a visit; judge for yourself. Unsure if I will be visiting again.

Went there for lunch. Background music was at a good level and not at all crowded. Each of us had the hot fish soup & chicken Caesar salad with a Merlot & IPA. Service was good. Soup was good, salad passable. Total including tip was $115. It all seemed a little overpriced, starting with $19 for a glass of Woodbridge Merlot.

I'll start by saying our waiter Gavin was absolutely Fantastic !!! One of the best waiters I've had and I haven't got a simple bad thing to say about him... the food on the other hand was atrocious, it started with my fiancé having her drink served with the bottom of an orange floating in it. A little funny but more so gross. We started with the guacamole and chips which wasn't bad just very very bland. Our mains came out and the young girl who brought them to us spilled my fiancée sweet potatoe fries and dip all over the table. She went to get a new dip but left the one she spilled on the table for me to clean up. My main was a $54 ribeye that was supposed to be cooked medium. As you can see by the pictures god only knows what I was served. It looked and tasted like a cheap steak you'd find frozen in the back of a convenience store. And anyone with a set of eyes can see that it's in no way similar to any ribeye that's being served anywhere... both the chef and the owners should reevaluate their menu if this is whats being served. All in all horrible experience and I feel bad for our amazing waiter to have to see his customers being served this horrendous food

We had the butternut squash taquitos, strawberry pecan salad, fish n chips, and the most amazing carrot cake and equally amazing blueberry bread pudding! We were told the components for the taquitos are all made in house - omgsh, so yummy! Everything came fresh, the right temperature, and tasted delicious. The carrot cake was made with chunky-cut ingredients and had an amazing flavour and texture, it also had a super thick, not too sweet, creme cheese icing. Super delicious!! Danny and Alex were amazing servers! We ll be recommending this place often!

Real talk, this place is amazing! First of all I have to give huge shout out to our server Michele, who was simply incredible. She was friendly, thoughtful, curteous and knowledgeable. The other staff I interacted with were kind and helpful as well. The food was delicious, beautifully presented, great portions and reasonably priced. The atmosphere was calm, the music wasnt too loud that you couldnt have a conversation and the booth was comfortable. The bathroom was clean and I appreciated the thick hand drying towels. Overall my partner and I had an outstanding experience. I would recommend North 48 to anyone! Vegetarian options: The mushroom fettuccine is a wonderful vegetarian option and so delishious Dietary restrictions: Very clear on the menu what was gluten free, the power bowl was fantastic

I have eaten here a few times and its ok. One recent experience I had left me surprised however. I asked for coleslaw on the side, and when the plate came out it was on the plate. Told the server, I asked for it in the side and his response it IS on the side, of your plate! A bit flippant??Unfortunately its the runniest coleslaw Ive ever seen and pretty much soaked half my fries and fish, which I paid for but couldnt est. I was on a lunch break so no time to send it back.

Our party of four dined at your restaurant on May 6 for a birthday celebration and it was fabulous. Excellent service and outstanding food. Tuscan chicken, pork chop dinner, French onion soup and blueberry pudding dessert topped the experience. Thanks for the great evening, we will return. Lots of free parking as well. Thanks to our server John for a lovely evening. Parking: Lots of it.

So went for the prime rib and it was well done. Waited 2 hours almost for them to tell me they dont have the stuff that comes with it. Would never go there for prime rib again. Seems like they have not enough staff on to run the place. The burger my fiance had was not good and the pork nachos were cold. Wont be going back not with this experience

Good, but inconsistent. A month ago I was so in love with the pork Marsala I was licking the plate. Last night it was like someone was trying to make it for the first time and it was awful. The service is always good though, and the atmosphere is nice, so chance it if you dare. Prices are not moderate so be prepared for rapture or disaster.

Amazing atmosphere. The food was delicious and our server was outstanding as well! If I can recommend anything on the menu it would be the French dip sandwich or the Birria tacos, both are delicious. My girlfriend is celiac and there are lots of gluten free options available, there s even a separate fryer so no cross contamination to worry about. Also the Butter Pecan Tart was hands down the best dessert I ve eaten in my entire life! Will definitely be back and will recommend this place to our friends.

Crazy expensive for a roadhouse type restaurant. $60 bucks for a steak? Its by no means fine dining but has fine dining prices. $22 for a mediocre cheeseburger - saving some money and go over to Harveys for the same thing

The place looks very nice, but unfortunately the food just isnt worth it yet. Hopefully they can improve since theyre still so new. Most things were under seasoned. The fries were good though. Husband says his steak was weird. Wasnt busy but everything took a long time to come out, the salad somehow took the longest. Son didnt like his burger.

Ate here a few weeks back and the food was decent. The bruschetta was awesome. Some of the dishes were pretty small, portion wise. The Jambalaya rice had no meat, which was odd and the gravy/poutine sauce tasted like canned Heinz gravy. The sweet potato fries were not crispy at all but tasted good. We were one of maybe 2-3 tables and still waited over an hour for food. 3/4 meals came out at the same time, the 4th came about 15 minutes later when everyone else was almost done eating- the chicken was cold but the rice was hot as that s what they were waiting on.

My server was super sweet dunno his name but like black long ish hair should definitely get a raise for being so kind me and my bf both between us tipped him 20$ the food was good from my bf perspective unfortunately they where out of what he actually wanted but his experience was over all great mine was good to the pasta was good and the wings but the stirfry squid had no taste of squid and kinda reminded me of beef mr noodles I could tell it was a sundry tomato that they used so it could be that too but I couldn t taste the squid at all so was pretty disappointed in that

We tried this place after hearing ads on the local radio station, our experience was disappointing. We ordered bacon wrapped scallops for the appetizer and my wife ordered a Pepsi, neither of which arrived. The ribeye steaks were supposed to be medium rare, they were not. Mine had a a lot of fat and gristle, I m not certain what cut they actually were. I understand they are a new restaurant and there are going to be some growing pains. Other than our server taking our orders and the meals being brought to our table, no one came by to check on things. When asked how our meals were, our server apologized and mentioned that the kitchen was having some issues. The missing items were taken off our bill, as requested, no mention was made to have a manager come over for us to speak with. We paid our bill, left a 10% gratuity and left. Should a manager/customer service representative wish to contact me, our information is in the reservation list for 9/30/23 @ 6:15 pm.

First time eating here and the last. I had the Steak PoBoy. Not really a PoBoy. Chunks of underseasoned, tough steak, not sliced, with very little onion and nothing else. No tomato, lettuce or cheese or other toppings. The house made baguette was a basic bun and overbaked. The secret sauce was flavorless. Sweet potato fries were soggy. To top it all off, it was overpriced. No bueno.

The food was bland. I ordered the carbonara and it had no flavour, only heat from the chilis. I didnt eat more than two forkfuls of my meal. And I was still charged the full value of the meal. The server asked if I wanted to take the rest home and I said no. Overall, for what you get (quality and quantity) this place is over priced.
