I completely forgot I needed to write review. Probably because we went the week before Thanksgiving and my appetite soon shifted to Mom's turkey and all the fixins. The atmosphere at North Start is pleasant and warm. None of that awful, ultra-modern, exposed ceiling garbage that is both ugly and allows for far too much noise to travel freely. I like the varied dining areas as well versus a single large room. Service was excellent. Great timing between courses. Very friendly and helpful server. As I said it's been a few weeks so even if I DID remember to GET her name, it no longer resides within my brain. She was just lovely though. The food was just delicious. I don't remember what everyone else ordered, but I still drool over the pictures of mine. I started with a cup of Creamy Mushroom Soup and then had the Beef Short Rib for my entree. It was all so tasty with a beautiful presentation. The soup came with a crostini which dipped real nice. The bread was like a rosemary ciabatta. Very hearty, very tasty, and paired well with the beef and mashed potatoes. I took an order home it's so good. I enjoyed my dinner so much that I would go back and have the exact same thing.

Made reservations for my wife and our 7th year anniversary of being together. We love seafood so we decided to give this place a go. Food was great, service was pretty good as there's nothing bad or super extraordinarily great to tell about, and the atmosphere was simple and cozy around 7-8pm on a Friday evening. We ordered the scallop risotto special, fettucini shrimp alfredo, crab cakes, fried mushrooms, 2 purple haze drinks w/ gin, and 1 apple cobbler w/ ice cream as desert. All were very delicious and would love to try their fish fry on Fridays.

We held a wedding shower in their private space and I have to say it was a great experience. The staff was more than helpful and did a great job of keeping the event flowing. They worked with us on the menu and setup of the room and were very accommodating. The food was fabulous and everyone was satisfied. The restaurant was willing to make accommodations for food allergies and handled that beautifully. We couldn't recommend this venue enough for your private party. Thanks, Carol.

I've been here a couple of times now for dinner. I've been very pleased with the service, and the menu offers a sophisticated selection of food in a relaxed unpretentious elegant environment. It's a great place to have a dinner date or a place where you want to have some conversation. It's all around a nice place to have on my list when I'm trying to think of somewhere for a very good meal and not have the stereo or loud conversation ruining the atmosphere.

Friday night in Wisconsin, which means Fish Fry! Took my wife and I had the fried cod, she had the pan seared cod. Both come with coleslaw and potato pancakes. The fried fish was lightly breaded and fried to perfection, light and flaky. The homemade tartar sauce was the best tartar sauce I think I’ve ever tasted. My wife’s pan seared Cod was also cooked to perfection, nice crust on the outside, lite, flaky, and tender on the inside. We both agree we loved the potato pancakes and would come back for them alone! We didn’t have reservations so we sat in the bar area and had very good service and nice atmosphere. We also liked the zucchini and eggplant appetizers. Great place to stop for date or anytime. Maybe make a reservation on busy nights.

Wouldn't expect to find a nice bistro in a suburban strip mall space, but it was a pleasant surprise. Everything was great!
