I never like strolling into a restaurant near their closing time but we arrived maybe 915p they close at 10p and we didn't feel rushed or like it was an inconvenience for the staff. I've been here when it's busy but it was quiet, maybe a few people at the bar and another table then us (it's a Monday). I can appreciate it both ways, the food is excellent regardless. Our server, Mitchell, was very attentive, proactive, down to earth and friendly - got our orders perfect. Mussels were great, the Caesar salad a bit spicy but good and fig and prosciutto pizza I loved. Warm goat cheese, there's nothing better. On top of the food I just like North for the ambience with the cool lighting, the open kitchen and high ceiling. It's almost like you are dining at someone's farm house:) we will be back.
