For brunch, my go to is the biscuits and gravy. The gravy has a good heat to it and the biscuits are flaky and buttery. For lunch, the buddha bowl and chicken & avocado sandwich are both elevated classics. My husband raves about the fish sandwich - and the salad that comes as a side is anything but simple. When you enter, you'll order with the cashier and then find a seat with your number. Typical counter service - but what makes Northstar special is that the interior feels more like fine dining and the food is much much better than your standard fare. Worth a trip for its own merits, the fact that it's located in a nice shopping area is also a draw, especially for a weekend when you want to have a leisurely stroll.

The sweet Thai chicken had the perfect balance of flavor, the wings were on point, and the steak tacos were packed with flavor. The Spresso Pizza was a standout and something we'd definitely order again. But what truly made the experience exceptional was the service. Our server, Kristen was bubbly, attentive, and brought such great energy to the table. She checked on us consistently without being overbearing and made the whole experience feel personal with great conversation. Food was good, service was even better. We'll absolutely be back.

I ordered the Banh Mi Bird which has brined crispy chicken, pickled vegetables, cilantro, Japanese mayo, sriracha agave, all on a baguette. It also came with fries. My friend ordered the vegan banh mi. Everything was good- but the only thing I would adjust was the sriracha agave. It was way too sweet and it was very sticky. I wish I had known because I would have ordered it on the side instead of on my sandwich. My friend felt the same way. Other than that, we had a good overall experience here. Would definitely come back again.

We put in a large lunch order a day before but had to wait another 20-25min to pick it up. It was for a work luncheon event so having delayed food does not make you popular. The workers seemed rushed and brusque. Customers in front kept coming back to the counter to say that a wrap was missing or that they were given the wrong order. Maybe I just caught them on a busy day--although it was just a Monday or Tuesday for lunch, no holiday. Everything was packaged securely and the food really was good though. The meats were cooked perfectly and the veggies were fresh and the sauces were flavorful. It's considered fast casual Middle eastern/Mediterranean food and I thought it was a little better than that. I would come here for lunch myself sometime but not to place a big order again.

The food was phenomenal. Kate O'Rourke was so wonderful to work with. We chose appetizers for a cocktail hour, then a salad course and 3 different entrees that were served family style, followed by desserts. Our guests were greeted with champagne to sip while waiting for the ceremony to start; and we also chose 4 different wines and beer for the evening. The serving staff were outstanding! They were professional and attentive. Lastly, Kate O'Rourke was a joy to work with from start to finish, both in planning our wedding with her and for the actual day itself. Our guests are still raving about how awesome the evening was.

We were fortunate enough to sit by the front window and had a clear view of the restaurant and the street. The staff was very friendly and very helpful and they did a great job.

For entrees, we had the signature lasagna that was fantastic and a special from what I remember was short rib and couscous. Everything was very delicious.

I got excited, ready to enjoy myself. Security searched my Fanny pack THOROUGHLY. Took my rat tail comb, very much understandable. Felt very secure by that tiny gesture. Even asked if I had and tobacco products or vapes. Great way to secure and understand everything coming into your establishment. When I walked in, you could feel the vibrations within your skin. Nothing but smiles & dancers on the dance floor. Once at the bar I was greeted with a very welcoming and warm smile from the bartender Krissy. I ordered a Chakla (Hennessy, Sangria & Honey). S/O to Krissy for her great customer service and mixology skills. My drink was AMAZING!!! I'm not even a Cognac drinker but this drink *chefs kiss*. I then ordered Lamb Chops w/ Jollof Rice & Asparagus. Krissy let me know it would be a 40 minute wait but my food definitely came out in less than 30 minutes. Food was HOT, STEAMING!

I got The Dimmer, which is a green smoothie, and the Spicy Griego which is a veggie wrap. The smoothie was pretty decent; the flavors were subtle and the most overpowering flavor was that of slightly unripe banana. However, it got the job done and it was pretty good value as far as green smoothies go ($7 for 20oz). I don't know if I would order this one again, but I am down to try another one. The wrap was delicious!! Though it was advertised to be spicy, I did not find it spicy at all, but the ingredients were fresh and tasty. They were generous with the spinach and feta. I will say the wrap is a little small for being $10 and the pictures online made it look a lot bigger than it actually is, so keep that in mind. I would definitely recommend making an account online and/or getting the app, since you get a free smoothie for signing up. That being said, I will definitely be back!
