I had my first North 44 experience for a romantic NYE dinner. It's a favourite of my boyfriends but I had never been, so he took me there for a quiet romantic dinner to start off the new year.
I truly enjoyed every bite. We started with some excellent champagne to celebrate the season while we perused the menu. We had the tuna 3 ways and the gnocchi appetizers, which were both incredible, and the best part of the meal. We shared both and both loved them. I then had the Ahi tuna, which was delicious, although by that time I was starting to get full. We shared several sides- the onion rings were literally the best onion rings I have ever had and I would go back just for those. Whatever vegetable we had was forgettable and the fries were so-so. The sauvignon blanc the server suggested to go with my fish was perfect.
For desert we had creme brulee and cucumber sorbet. Delicious again although by that point i was really too full to fully appreciate it, and I probably didn't need the desert.
Overall the ambience was wonderful, the server was attentive and pleasant, and it was a great experience. I will definitely be back.
The only downside- when we asked about beer on the menu, the server criticized the options they had saying she wouldn't recommend any of them, and saying that they are all bad. I thought this was pretty bad form.
