Parking can be a bit tricky though but worth it! The ambience facing the lake was really nice. The waitress Victoria W. was very attentive and I met the owner Bob who was very personable. The pesto chicken sandwich was fresh and delicious and same with the curly french fries (that other people raved about). Highly recommended! I was told the fish tacos were very good too. However, I do not recommend the red sangria as the way it was made tasted more like a wine cooler. The Stiegl grapefruit radler beer was light and refreshing though. I will definitely be back to try other items on the menu and other cocktails. I give this place 4.5 stars.

Cute spot by the lake. Small parking lot, might have to park on side streets…read more Nice staff, service was quick. Food could've been better, I ordered fish tacos and sweet potato fries. There was more cabbage slaw than fish in the tacos. See pic below. I also paid the extra for the perch but I'm not even sure I received that. Another friend also ordered tacos and had healthy pieces, not sure if it got mixed up or the kitchen just gave me small chopped fish.

There were a few quirks with the soft opening, like limited menu flexibility which was a bummer when it was due to dietary restrictions. However, our waitress was super friendly and accommodating in searching for answers of what was possible from the kitchen. Overall folks seemed happy with food. Husband loved his fried chicken that had nice, thick bacon on top. Fries were hot and salted nicely. Truffle fries weren't much different than regular fries in flavor with just a subtle seasoning on top. Salad was a miss with only 3-4 small pieces of chicken on top. For $19, the execution and portion size could be improved greatly.

This was the first time ever been to North Point Kitchen and I will definitely be back!…read more Parking is across the street but don't let that deter you from coming to this fantastic restaurant. From the time I walked in, I was greeted by the hostess, who was very nice and same with the bartender Cary. The restaurant is very nicely decorated and is a great date place! There is some great views of the water too and this would be a great place in the summertime! The wedge salad was very good with their homemade dressing and same with the short rib pasta which was more than ample for two people. They only serve gelato, but the salted caramel gelato was hands down the best I've ever had! Cary made a fantastic French martini too! What also impressed me was the locals that were very friendly and made the evening even more enjoyable. If you are in the area, I would definitely stop by and have a fantastic meal, cocktail gelato like I did. This restaurant definitely earned their five stars!

A delightful lakeside restaurant!…read more Our greatest desire was to sit on the back patio, enjoy the view and eat some great food. North Point Kitchen & Bar hit all of those marks! Our food was outstanding. We shared an assortment of appetizers (snacks). The Frutti Di Mare was excellent. We wished that the cannellini hummus came with more vegetables and less bread. It was hard to pick from the selection of craft cocktails, they all sounded exceptional. I went with the Moon Flower and it was delicious! Tito's, elderflower, violette, and lemon. A must stop location.

The atmosphere is always relaxed and fun, and the view of the lake is incredible. They offer a great selection of beers, seltzers, and some wine options-- I just tried their canned Hugo spritz and it was delicious. Their platters and flatbreads are perfect for sharing, and the chef's board is my personal favorite. The cheeses they choose are always so unique and make the board feel special. The service here is consistently wonderful. Everyone seems to have a smile on, and it makes the whole experience feel effortless and enjoyable.

On an early May weekend it loses a bit of the summer vibe charm. The food was not great, the breaded chicken sandwich had a frozen patty feel to it. The bierra tacos were small, and the chicken schwarma was dry but flavorful. The kids plain smash burger was actually the best meal served. The craft beer menu was sufficient. Not sure Hamm's qualifies as craft but it's always fun to see it pop up at a beer pub. It got the job done for late lunch. Not sure we would hurry back.

This has to be an Italian restaurant disguised as a sports bar! The food here is fantastic and…read morenothing you'd expect especially when ordering a 4 course italian dinner next to the guy eating hot wings and pizza. Great selection drinks and well priced on top of that. The pizza here is incredible too. Service is awesome too. When they gave me square cut instead of pie cut like I asked, they offered to remake the whole pizza. Next time I said! Gave them a slide this time and didn't regret it. I recommend the minestrone soup, calamari, and any shrimp and/or pasta dish on the menu if you're going for straight italian cuisine. However, if you're going for pizza and live on the wild side. Their Sweet Chili Pizza with extra sweet chili sauce is phenomenal. They give you a whole bowl to dunk in! JL's is a must try if you haven't already.
