    The food was amazing, our server was great, not pushy but yet was there when we had a question or when ready to order.

    Went with girlfriends to celebrate birthday. Excellent burgers and million dollar pie. It was quiet because it was the day after Christmas. We sat there for three hours and were not rushed out. Service was outstanding.

    **Restaurant Review: Northside Bistro** Northside Bistro is a fantastic addition to the North Raleigh dining scene, offering an upscale yet welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. Whether it’s a special occasion or a casual evening out, the ambiance strikes the perfect balance between refined and relaxed. When we visited, the restaurant was bustling with activity—a clear sign of its popularity. Despite being busy, the food arrived promptly without any delays, which was impressive. It’s evident that the kitchen and staff work seamlessly to maintain a high standard of service even during peak hours. The food itself was exceptional. From the warm, freshly baked bread to the decadent desserts, everything was a delight. The Caesar salad was a surprising highlight, with a dressing that stood out as one of the best I’ve ever tasted. The Beef Wellington was another standout, perfectly prepared with tender, flavorful meat encased in a flaky, golden crust. Every dish was well-crafted and full of flavor, making it clear that quality and attention to detail are top priorities. The service was another high point. Friendly and attentive without being overbearing, the staff ensured we had everything we needed and checked in at just the right moments. Even with a full house, the team delivered a smooth and enjoyable dining experience. While the prices lean toward the higher side, the value is undeniable. My family and I left feeling not just satisfied but genuinely happy. Northside Bistro goes beyond serving great food—it creates a memorable experience that makes you want to return. If you’re looking for a place with delicious food, excellent service, and a welcoming vibe, Northside Bistro is a top choice in North Raleigh. It’s well worth a visit.

    Wonderful dinner. Everything was perfectly done. Wait staff, food timing, never rushed, and awesome atmosphere. The bar is the place to be. Couldn’t snag 2 at the bar so we were at a table, which was still great. Looking forward to a lot of dinners here.

    Booth of 4 for Christmas season dinner. Been here quite a few times before; we had 3 appetizers and 4 different entrees, all quite good. Gnocchi and Beef Wellington are particularly good hear. Waiter and hostesses were great.

    The Northside Bistro is an exceptional restaurant that I recommend highly. As a real "foodie", I can enthusiastically tell you that their menu is fantastic and the plates are out-of-this-world delicious. But really sets the Northside Bistro apart is the loving staff, from the hostess at the door, to the waiters and waitresses, to the chef. Everyone is lovingly attentive and going the extra mile to make sure everyone of their guests has a wonderful dining experience.

    Enthusiastic service and a great meal. Serving sizes were larger than expected with both the appetizer and entree. Very nice, small space that didn’t feel crowded.
