I went to NoRTH this past weekend for lunch and overall it was a great experience. The first thing I noticed when I walked in was how bright it was from natural light (tons of windows) and how modern the decor looked. I also thought it was cool that I could watch the employees make fresh pasta by hand while I waited for my food.
I had the Zucca Chips and Fall Salad (added chicken to it) and both were awesome. The chips were nicely browned and had a good crunch and weren't overly oily or dry. The Fall Salad was amazing. It was topped with literally some of the best grilled chicken I've ever had--cooked and seasoned to perfection, and juicy. The salad was incredibly fresh and the mix of ingredients sounded a bit odd at first, but tasted wonderful together. Perfect amount of dressing, too. The portion sizes were definitely adequate and I left feeling full.
I think the best part of the whole dining experience was the service from my waitress and another waiter. My waitress was very attentive and super friendly. A different waiter ran some of my food and refilled my drink a few times, and he was also very pleasant and smiling all the time. Some of the other employees (namely servers and hostesses) seemed a bit bored, snobbish, or unhappy at times, but all of the people I interacted with were friendly.
While the food was a bit pricey for what I normally spend, I would definitely come back to NoRTH if I was looking for higher quality food in a restaurant with good ambiance and great service.
