Everything was decent. No complaints really. It wasn't something we are in a hurry to go back to though. Just decent bar food!

The Cherry tomato salad was such a different/ unique approach. Petite, but mighty with flavor, and I especially loved the spicy kick finish left on my taste buds. As a mushroom lover, I was thankfully steered toward the chestnut anolini and I absolutely loved it. Hubby loved his snap peas-carrots-beets salad, and the bite I had (despite not loving a couple of those items) had me thinking I made a mistake. The almond cake dessert with almond rosettes was next level amazing. It's restaurants like this that make me less apt to throw around 5 star reviews elsewhere, because most places don't deserve it, but this one does. I'll be back here every time I'm in Cincy!

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.

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.

The yams and the green beens were the star of the show. Perfect. The greens were tasty as well. My Mac and cheese had a lot of cheese but surprising the flavor didn't hit for me. It was just cheesy. But it looked top tier. The fish was fried to perfection but it was extremely salty. Look I love flavor but this was a little extreme. The salmon bites were tad bit overcooked. They tasted good but were a little dry. Overall the experience was good. I waited like 30 minutes for my food but it was around lunch time and they were super busy. I would go back but try some other times. The cashier was super nice she gave me a free crack lemonade since I waited so long. It was very good. Being from down south (Memphis) we know good food and I will say this was close.

The lamb chops were my favorite but everything was 10/10 good! The chicken Alfredo was full of flavor, the Philly egg rolls were crispy and so delicious, the shrimp was a little too salty but the salmon bites were perfect. The Mac and cheese and yams are a must try!! We also tried the honey bbq wings and if you like them saucy, Chef nem has you covered! My only complaint was the wait time. We were told 45 minutes but they hadn't started our food until we came back 45 minutes later. I will say they made up for it and took great care of us! I highly recommend calling ahead versus placing orders in person to reduce the time waiting around.

McDonald's, Wendy's and BK only wish they had something like this on their menu. Their Philly Cheesesteak Sandwich is excellent, a flavorful combo of beef, mushrooms, peppers and onions with mayo. It's on a round roll so I don't know if folks from Philly would think it's a proper cheesesteak, but here in Cincinnati it's very good. Their 1/2 Pound Burger is nice and thick, still pink in the middle, not overcooked like so many places do. Their Onion Rings and Fried Mushrooms are legit, maybe not ground-breaking or life-changing, but good solid fare.
