    A friend of mine lives in New Richmond, Ohio and has been urging me to try this restaurant. So we finally did it! I am glad that we did. Parking was easy in a lot right next to the restaurant. We were greeted as we walked in and they told us to sit at any table that did not have a reserved sign on it. You have a nice view of the Ohio River from your seat in the restaurant. Our waiter came to the table to take our drink order and we knew exactly what we wanted. We each ordered a different Mimosa flight. Such fun and tasty. We also ordered the Brie and fig appetizer. My friend ordered the Winter Mimosa Flight and I ordered the Who Dey Mimosa flight in honor of the Bengals being in the NFL playoff round. The appetizer had nice crusty bread along side fig jam and warm Brie. For our meal I ordered the special of the night which was a filet mignon with asparagus and smashed potatoes. My friend ordered the Pasta Lafayette which was composed of andouille sausage, shrimp, red bell peppers, and onions in a spicy Cajun cream sauce and penne pasta and a side salad. My steak was perfectly cooked. My friend loves their signature pasta dish. Of course we could not go without ordering dessert so I had the vanilla crème brûlée and my friend had the vanilla cheese cake with a chocolate sauce. The flavor of my crème brûlée was good but it did not have enough crusty sugar in my opinion as it was a bit soft. We had a lovely leisurely dinner and as we were getting close to leaving a person was setting up in the corner to sing with his guitar. Highly recommend getting a mimosa flight as it is fun and tasty.

    Front Street Cafe is the best restaurant in town if not the city. I love how every visit feels like catching up with an old friend. The food is amazing, each dish tastes like it was made with lots of love, whether it's the juiciest burger on Thursdays or one of their weekly specials that never fails to surprise me. But what really makes it special is the people. The staff remember your name and your favorite drink, and they always make you feel like you truly belong. It's never just a meal. the people are truly great. Also a bonus is constant live music. I'm so thankful to have Front Street Cafe around. If you haven't been yet, you're in for a treat that feels like coming home.

    What a great little cafe! My husband and I stopped in for lunch while in the area on Sunday. It sits right across the street from the Ohio River - in the stretch of shops along Front Street. My husband had the Rueben and I ordered the Chicken Salad. On a whim I decided to have a Bloody Mary. The Bloody Mary is fantastic! I ordered their special one that comes with a house-made mix, Tito's vodka and topped with bacon. Oh my, it's good! The chicken salad sandwich is probably the best chicken salad sandwich I've had in awhile. So flavorful! My husband thought his reuben was awesome also. And he enjoyed the beers he ordered. The service was great! Very welcoming and friendly. We'd definitely stop back in.

    Out and about and stopped in for lunch. The atmosphere was very inviting, and it's across from the Ohio river. I had the Mahi Mahi tacos, daughter had the Cafe quesadilla husband had the reuben. Everything was excellent!

She made us feel completely comfortable and truly made an already wonderful meal even better. Exceptional service from beginning to end! The restaurant itself is adorable, modern, beautifully decorated, and has a lovely patio. But the service and food completely stole the show. We ordered several appetizers, including the bruschetta, fried green tomatoes, corn and ricotta dip, and pimento croquettes. I'm VERY picky, and I genuinely wouldn't change a single thing. Every dish was flavorful, perfectly balanced, beautifully presented, and cooked exactly right. The bruschetta was so good that we ordered a second round! The fried green tomatoes were perfectly crisp with a delicious sauce, and the pimento croquettes were crispy on the outside, creamy inside, and paired perfectly with the sauce and pickles. The corn and ricotta dip was delicious as well. Nothing was too salty, under-seasoned, overcooked, or missing anything. The flavors were spot-on across the board. For dessert, we had the peach butter cake with everything on the side. The cake was delicious on its own and even better with the ice cream. It's rare to try so many dishes and not want to change a single thing, but that was the case here. The food was top-notch, and Olivia truly made the experience. We will definitely be back and will absolutely recommend this place to others. Amazing food, amazing service, and an overall experience that went above and beyond.

I first became aware of this place…read morewhen I started getting ads for the chef's sourdough book on social media--got the book for Christmas, and apparently talked about that enough that he decided I needed to experience the restaurant! What's striking about the restaurant itself is how quiet and calm it feels. With limited nightly seatings and every dinner table doing the tasting menu there's a sort of orchestrated flow that permeates the space. Not to say energy is low or it's so quiet you feel self-conscious talking; it's just that nothing about the experience feels rushed or accidental. As expected, the bread course was phenomenal as was all the food we enjoyed! We opted for the wine pairing along with dinner, which results in about 1.5 or 2 full glasses over the course of the meal. The sommelier did an excellent job introducing and explaining each wine, as well as why it was selected to pair with each course. All told, a lovely experience and one worth repeating--and not just because the menu changes every season.

    Northstar Cafe never disappoints. Seriously, this place is stamped in our book…read more The service is almost always A1, and even when the food takes a little longer than usual, they usually make up for it somehow or throw us a comp card, which we definitely appreciate. I also LOVE the setup here. You pay first, get your food second, and everything just seems to run smoothly. No unnecessary waiting around trying to figure out what's going on. My wife and I usually rotate between the pancakes, the hash, the Northstar Burger, or the potato hash. Honestly, you really can't go wrong with any of them. The food is always fresh, portions are good, and everything comes out looking like somebody actually cared about what they put on the plate. We probably go once or twice a week, especially for brunch. At this point, Northstar is basically family. And if you're like us and pretty picky about where you eat, this is definitely one that gets the stamp of approval. Great food, good atmosphere, and consistently solid service. One more thing: I believe they play jazz after 6 PM Monday through Friday, which is always a nice little bonus. Overall, definitely recommend if you're looking for good food with a nice ambiance. Northstar has a permanent spot in our rotation!

The menu in general is small but full of classic American food with a bit of a modern twist. We also really enjoyed the fountain soda machine. It's great that they use a local company instead of just using Coke-a-Cola! The ordering system is different than at most restaurants (you order at the counter before getting served at your seat), but the line moves quickly. What was especially awesome about our experience at Northstar was the service. There was a very slight mistake on our order (a burger that we asked for no cheese came with cheese), and, although we didn't mind at all, Northstar went above and beyond to make it right.

Loved seeing some menu throwbacks to the previous restaurant. The rigatoni, beets, bread service, squash & fish were all delicious. We only had two sour notes all night - celebrating a birthday (directly told our server when she asked), and no birthday dessert was offered. Normally wouldn't expect that, but TWO tables next to us got a cake slice with a candle. It felt a bit rude to have our special night missed when others were acknowledged. Our table ended up ordering the chocolate cremeux which had the worst, over-smoked ice cream flavor any of us ever experienced -- mother of god. Not sure why that exists.

Walking in a bit awkward. One door is locked and the other is open. One has to guess correctly. The entrance is a little cramped. Goto the left for the bar or the right for the dining room. I've always enjoyed the open kitchen; the focus, hustle, and discipline is admirable and fun to watch. Decor is modern. Feels upscale. One can make this a casual date or dress it up for a bigger night out. All of our wait staff have been polite and are good at timing visits. The food offered here and all of Salazar's restaurants is excellent. Most recently, we enjoyed the lobster rolls, fried oysters sandwich, fries, steak, and scallops. Two desserts were taken to go. Each dish, no matter how advanced or simple, presented with elegance, perfect spice and texture, and spot on internal temps. Certainly it's the excellent cooking that justifies the $300 check that chased this outstanding experience. Everything I've mentioned is positive. Where do the two stars come from? Well in our last visit, we took dessert to go. We utilized valet that Salazars/Mitas contracts. It took forty minutes for our car to get to us. Forty. Minutes. We got ice cream as a part of a dessert to go. While one could argue we are taking a risk, and I agree, we actually had a cooler in the back of the car that was ice cold from earlier in the day. Thusly we felt we were taking a calculated risk. We get our car, see the ice cream is melted, and I go back. I explain the situation to the hostesses. The GM shows up and I provide a gentle explanation. Following this I say I'd like to the replace the included ice cream but end up ordering a couple other flavors. I get cashed out - no apology for the under performing valet, no offer to cover the melted scoop, just take my money and move forward. I understand that nothing is owed to me. I understand that restaurants aren't successful by giving out hand outs. My frustration comes with the lack of recognition of arguably restaurant error, the fact that loyalty means nothing, and that spending nearly $300 (or how much four visits cost in less than a year), including a kitchen tip, wasnt enough.
