Hell of the North

Perfect dinner, excellent service, always a pleasure eating there ! Mark is a knowledgeable host, thoughtful wine list, last night we had Steak Tartare, Cured Salmon, Moules Mariniere and Pommes Frites followed by perfectly cooked Pork Cutlets, Heirloom Tomatoes ! Grilled Figs with Goat Curd ice cream ! what more could you want !

Nice menu and friendly and helpful staff. You are able to just take the "feed me" option and there are 4 courses brought out to share - you can choose what they are. We just shared some common items and had four individual main courses. Food overall was excellent. The portions are not huge but more than enough to satisfy. It wasn't what you would term cheap but the food was worth it.

Overall the experience was ok. I probably have dined at many restaurants that exceeded my expectations. We ordered the “feed me” menu but I dont think what we received was worth talking highly about. For 75 a person and a total of $150 each, you would assume the restaurant would provide you with more options. We have 2 entrees, 2 mains, 2 sides and 1 dessert to share. I added it all up and it the total was less than $150. (I didnt find out the MP of the Fish of the Day and the price of the tomato entree special) This felt like a rip off and felt we were better off ordering ala carte and getting what we want to get. Throughout the evening there was also a table by the door with 3 women who were obnoxiously laughing like they were at a pub which didnt add to the ambiance. And to think we were seated next to a big table with a toddler who didnt make a sound the whole time! All in all I would recommend if you are in the area and want to try. The amaretto sour was perfect as well as the creme brulee.

Always a good experience when dining here. Service was great and food was delicious. It never disappoints. It got busy around 8pm but was not rowdy at all.
