Looking for a casual spot to have a great glass of wine and a terrific meal? Then look no further than Bar North.
Oh sure- you can go to the fancier North restaurant next door, but why? The menus are the same, you have the same great choices of wine and the stellar service abounds. So with our group the other night- we took over the bar side of this restaurant in Kierland Commons and they took great care of us!
Chris, our server, was outstanding! My glass was never empty- he took the time to make us feel so welcome and he was quick with a quip (which I love!) And imagine my surprise when I found out he had only been with Bar North for about two months . . .I would have thought, given his comfort with his role, that he had been there much longer! But who cares?: He really took our night from just another night out to a great night out and for that he deserves a shout out!
We started with some chacuterie and bread along with some type of stacked sandwiches. For our entrees we had a couple of their thin crust pizzas as well as two of their signature pasta dishes. All were quite good. And for dessert? Tiramasu which almost had us licking the jar it came in.
Bar North is located in the Kierland Commons mall so parking is plentiful. I also liked that it opens onto to a common patio which would be great for people watching on a warmer day (it was cold when we were there). And the decor is contemporary and understated with candles twinkling in the windows only to be matched by the crystals dangling from the exposed bulbs in the center of the room.
All in all a really great choice for a fun dinner out!
