    Dined here for a second time and as before BN didn't disappoint. They added Cauliflower to the menu which we were excited to try and it tuned out to be delicious. Gnocchi had a upgrade too and the presentation + taste was top notch. The server made some amazing wine pairing suggestions. Overall, it was great.

    We tried 5 of 7 small plates, 3 of 4 large plates, and 3 of 4 wines by the glass. All were excellent excepting the disappointingly dull gnocchi which is reportedly new on the menu. Both desserts were good. Service struggled at times but the restaurant was busy for a Tuesday night.

    Tldr; Amazing Food and Service and highly recommend Visited Berkeley North after finally being able to get a booking during weekends. Really wanted to experience the food after the reviews I had read. We started out with Teriyaki Eggplant, one of their signature dishes, and I absolutely enjoyed the flavours it had. For mains, we had the steak frites and I really liked that the server told us while we were ordering that the steak is medium rare. The server was attentive and was fast. The owner checked on us as well. Loved the place. Will be visiting again 😄

    The restaurant just got better compared to my last visit here:) Food and Menu- My partner and I ordered the tasting menu, along a few of the house cocktails and some snacks. I really like the option of a set menu, as a normal menu often confuses me with too many good options. The delicacies were too good, and I have never had expectations from food like mushroom dumplings or teriyaki eggplant but damn were they goood!!! Ambience- The ambiance of the place was set with soft lighting and pleasant music. It’s a great spot for a romantic date night or a productive day meeting. Staff- The staff was great, our server Suzy seemed like a delight and went above and beyond to make our experience rather memorable. Price- They were priced just as I expected it to be. Fine dining at its peak. Overall, I would visit again if I ever found myself in town. It was worth the trip to see how they managed to achieve the Michelin Award and glad to say that they lived up to the expectations.

    Cocktails, both alcoholic and non-, were super tasty. Loved both the mushroom dumplings and Chana rolls for starters, and had a delicious, healthy meal with the "build-a-bowl". Great vibes, nice staff!

    I wrote a more detailed review on Goggle reviews. The main issue was two of the three of us found a hair in each of our main dishes, which ruined whatever potential for a good experience that there was.
