    Just a lovely lunch. My pal has a pepper allergy. They were so accommodating. She loved her salad. Nice vibe and our server I think it was William was fantastic. We were treated like special family members! I’ll be back. Big fan of Northside.

    We really love Northside Bistro so we had high hopes for Encore but the best thing we had was the wine. The shrimp appetizer we had was ok, but it was more bread than anything else. My partner ordered a steak and I ordered vodka rigatoni with chicken and both were bland and flavorless. The sauce for the pasta was thin and the chicken was rubbery. Dessert was also bad-some sort of ring full of cream and a tiramisu that were both poorly put together flavor-wise and heavy. Really disappointed and honestly surprised given the extremely high quality of the food at Northside. Service was great and the staff is incredibly kind but the food was not worth the drive out there.

    Went here on a date night with my husband for the first time. Got the Grandma’s Sunday Gravy, Chicken Parmesan, Cesar salad to share. Sunday gravy was delicious. Chicken parmesan was disappointing. Very small piece of chicken, though it all tasted good, wish there was more chicken. Not worth $29 for it. The s’mores chocolate bread pudding dessert was amazing, and tiramisu good too. Good atmosphere, quiet. Our server was great and very attentive. Would eat there again.
