I came to North South on a Friday evening with a friend for dinner. I really was excited about the idea of both seafood and smokehouse items in one place. I'd never heard of such a concept in a restaurant. There was about a 45 minute wait at prime time on a Friday night, which is not bad. I noticed one of my favorite things in restaurants immediately: a high ceiling. I like restaurants with high ceilings. There is a nice bar along one wall where you can get a cocktail while waiting, or eat eat at the bar elbow to elbow with some strangers.
The menu has a wonderful selection of seafood and smoked goodies, along with appetizers and soups and sandwiches. Something for everyone. I started with a favorite of mine, Clam chowder. It was rich and velvety delicious. Great seafood flavor. I ordered a smoked filet of salmon with sides (you get two with entrees) and my dinner companion chose the non-smoked salmon filet. Both were fresh and done to perfection.
Service could not have been better, quicker or more congenial. Our server, a very tall gent, was enthusiastic about the menu and talked me into some key lime pie for dessert. My friend and I never felt rushed, and we lingered a bit with coffee after our meal. I could easily become a regular here, as everything came together for a great casual dining experience, and the menu has lots of things I would like to come back and try. $5.00 martinis Thursdays!
