Tiramisu
John M.

Northern Spy gets good marks for the inside and outside vibes, a dark interior or industrial exterior. The food was creative in idea but the execution seemed to not be in line with the vision. Perhaps, with time, the experience will drift up to the inventive menu but, as is, was missing the mark for most dishes (like a solid B-/B grade, fine but not in line with the elevated dining experience they are going for). The service was friendly, but we found some lack of attention to detail. For example, we were with another couple and looking to order separately, repeated this back to the waitress with a verbal confirmation, but was not done with the check.

Chicken bacon ranch sandwich
John H.

Great higher end dining option in a historical building with lots of character. Enjoyed a lovely lunch at Northern Spy with my kid. Sitting inside this historical building was a treat - beautiful brick walls and decor. Even the plates have this beautiful print on them. The chicken bacon ranch sandwich was quite tasty and the fries were so good. The lunch menu had a nice variety of options and the service was top notch. The restaurant is kid friendly with kid menus and coloring. They also have large private rooms for groups.

Food is always soooo good here. Nice atmosphere. Joyful servers . A nice little hidden eatery .

Beef tenderloin

The history of this property is absolutely fascinating.. Paul Revere use this building to make copper siding during the revolutionary time period. About the restaurant... the interior is beautiful and well appointed. It has a very cozy vibe with a historical twist. The food was absolutely delicious from the appetizers through dessert. For the appetizer, I had a bowl of perfectly sweet and spicy chicken wings. For dinner, I had the beef tenderloin with asparagus and it was perfectly cooked and well seasoned. The dessert that I had was so delicious and different... I couldn't put my spoon down. I will be back here for sure and I am so happy that my neighbor told me about this place.

I would have never found this place without a lot of help from friends. It was a great choice the ambiance was nice For conversation but still had music in background. The food was top notch. Fish was fresh and flakey paired with couscous and broccoli great combination. Tried the stout braised beef with mash potatoes and eggplant and peppers, beef melts in your mouth. The drink special was awesome Senior bulldog and $4 dollars for each drink went to canton high school fun raiser. Staff was friendly and answered are questions. Will be returning, recommend you check it out!

Maple sticky pudding
Jackie S.

I have driven by this place for so long but never knew there was a restaurant there until the other day. Unsure what to expect when my friends recommended that we went that, and I was pleasantly surprised. We payed the $2 for the bottomless sourdough bread basket and it was yummy! The drinks were also tasty and strong. I ordered the gnocchi and initially thought that they brought out scallops but I was mistaken and really enjoyed the gnocchi. Quickly became a member of the clean plate club. With a bug sweet tooth, I had to try dessert and ordered the sticky maple pudding. It was delicious and I highly recommend. No issues finding parking and the staff was incredibly friendly

Day Boast Sea Scallops! Yes that is the scallops.
Mike K.

Cool looking building and a nice cozy interior. We had 7:30 reservations on Saturday and were seated right away. Our server came over quickly and took a drink order and then was gone for a while. After returning we ordered a chicken wing appetizer and a couple entrees Steak Tips & Sea Scallops. The chicken wings came out and were fantastic. Very messy and HOT, but exactly what we wanted. Portion size was about 10-12 wingettes and was perfect. We waited a looooong time for our entrees to come out. When they finally arrived we were beyond disappointed. I thought they brought the wrong plate when they dropped off the scallops. It was a giant heaping pile of corn with 5 quarter size scallops on a bed of something. I'm not sure what it was grits or something? It didn't mention it in the menu. The menu did say it would have smoked tomatoes and there wasn't a tomato on the plate. The steak tips were medium vs the requested medium rare, but we never saw our server (as someone from the kitchen dropped off the food) again until she just showed up with a bill before even asking if we wanted dessert. The fries were all cold and just not good and the pickled peppers???? Let me just say they do not belong on a plate in a restaurant. They were lip numbing hot. $32 & $34 for those entrees? No thanks! To many amazing restaurants out there to ever go back here again. We did order two cookies and I cream for dessert. Again someone from the kitchen brought them to us and our waitress never came back. We saw here going up and down the stairs near the entrance and eventually the person from the kitchen offered to take our bill and run it for us.

Double Cheeseburger
Steven W.

We had a table of 8 and were seated in a private room, which felt nice. Decor is fantastic with great lighting and windows. Menu had a lot of items that I would try. I had the duck breast and Northern Spy is the only restaurant that I know that serves that much duck breast for the price which was really worth it. The burger was delicious and flavorful. We also ordered the grilled oysters which weren't what we expected and didn't have much flavor. Service was good and enjoyed the overall ambiance.

Five Guys has been a reliable go-to for a hearty, delicious burger. The food remained consistently…read moregood, with juicy, freshly made burgers and generous portions of crispy fries, regardless on the size you order, that never disappointed. I went to a few Five Guys before, back in 2015 when you used to get a full meal for about $10, but now it's non-existent, still its advertised in the articles around the whole restaurant as having the best value for a meal, I really don't think that's the case anymore. I've found myself visiting again this past weekend, inflation has driven up prices. People just order through the app so there's barely any interaction at the counter, people show their screen and walk out. Everything is take out, so seating is pretty empty. While the food is still good, there is no added value with the rising costs have made it a more infrequent choice compared to others. I got a bacon cheeseburger, and regular cheese burger, and regular fries (no drink) that totaled $32.71. I can go to Chili's to dine-in, get a Big Smasher Burger, Fries, salad as an appetizer, and drink for $10.99 ($22 + tax for two) and have money to tip our waiter/waitress. Applebee's has the same without an appetizer, burger, fries, drink for $10.

Friendly staff, delicious burgers and good Cajun fries. Pretty spacious inside, every thing is…read moreexpected and never had any issues here.

Definitely disappointing. App was slow, so tried to order in the restaurant... not fast as the poor…read morestaffer had to do a bunch of shakes, so the orders at the front piled up. Stopped here for dinner, and it was a 20min wait - I said ok, no problem, good food I can wait for. Ordered, and they didn't mention a few things had changed, including some of the recipes. The truffle mushroom swiss burger... when you ask for the truffle mayo on the side, they said... there's no truffle in the mayo. Huh? Very bland without the mayo, so where's the truffle? Double burger version was overcooked. The smashchicken they used to have? Gone - in it's place is a terrible ground chicken burger. Not great. Smashfries were solid, so that's the good. The bad - the sweet potato fries they used to have were cut like Smashfries, but now they're cut with a waffle style and makes it a lot less crispy and tasty. Service was slow, too. I stood around the curtained off pickup area, and no one handed me the order that was done. Went back into the line and was almost at the counter again, and only then one of the gents noticed and grabbed my bag for me. Overall disappointing.

This place was amazing. We got our order in right away and the food also came out in about 5-8…read moreminutes. I got a regular double burger and French fries and they were amazing. There was plenty of seating and there were tvs playing college basketball it was really nice inside.
