Came here for the first time and had the chicken sandwich... it was crazy good. The flavor was…read moreabsolutely incredible and it tasted so fresh. 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.

I have nothing but amazing things to say about NorthStar! Such amazing food, friendly staff and an…read moreoverall great ambiance. I stopped by to get a salad for lunch and it was made wrong twice but they handled it so promptly and very kindly. I felt bad but they reassured me it wasn't my fault. I recently had an issue with a local restaurant where the owner berated me for a mistake they made so this was such a breath of fresh air. I'm a faithful customer and I'll continue to come back. Excellent place for my family. P.S. the Kenwood salad, enchiladas, fish sandwich, and margherita pizza add prosciutto are some of my favorites! Honestly everything on the menu is good, you won't be disappointed.

This review is based solely off ordering from door dash which I will NOT do again!…read more I ordered the lunch portion of the parmesan crusted chicken - I received a burnt chicken breast - the wrong potatoes that didn't initially come with the entree when I was looking forward to the cheesy casserole like potatoes and barely any green beans. It was extremely disappointing and ice cold. I know I know, I ordered from doordash but I am 10 minutes away so no reason to be cold plus you should offer good food no matter what with the price point their food is at. I can't rate the ambiance or service as I do not know.

Wow! If the long line is an indication of the best local hot brunch spot ,this place is surely it!…read more From the outside it doesn't boast of anything exciting, dull paint envelopes the facade, no signage much even the sign looked like the light burned out. Big boy when you open the door you're greeted by a waft of great smelling brunch food like maple syrup and pancakes. There's no one to greet you, no signage to seat yourself or wait to be seated but if you want to get out of line (don't!) to ask the barista who, even clearly busy, was accommodating to let you know to just get in line and order! There's plenty of seating though! Now on to the food; I got ham and cheese croissant (to go), Yaki omelet sando. I asked if it is good and the cashier said it's the most popular menu item! The omelet sando is delicious: crunchy, salty savory, just perfect with the perfectly toasted sesame sprinkled white toast sandwich! Highly recommended brunch place in Cincinnati for sure, definitely worth the hype and the long wait line!

My friend started with calamari, served on a bed of Asian slaw. The rings were tender and tasty, and nicely complemented by the slaw. The soup du jour was shrimp bisque, which I eagerly ordered. I wish it hadn't been completely pureed, because I like bits of shrimp in it, but it was still excellent, tasting of shrimp, cream, and delicate seasonings. Moving on, he had the meatloaf, and we both liked it. I had the day's special of my favorite fish - halibut. It was perfectly seared, sitting in a pool of browned butter sauce and garnished with pine nuts, all accompanied by tasty spinach and garlic mashed potatoes. We each enjoyed a slice of carrot cake for dessert. I definitely don't intend to let 7 years slip by before I return, especially since the specials of the day kept me from trying the Kenwood salad and red wined braised short rib. I almost forgot to say that Wendy gave us flawless service, and showed us an alternative exit that didn't make me return across the rough stone floor with my walker.

Ordered a flatbread, chicken salad, and the lobster bisque. The best thing i had of the three was…read morethe lobster bisque. The flatbread was sauceless, the toppings themselves were good so it would have been great if they just added more sauce to it. The ceasar salad was decent. The chicken had this weird tasting char to it that just made it kind of offputting. It tasted burnt but also kind of had a weird chemical taste in The lobster bisque was good in flavor, but i wish there was actual lobster meat in it. All in all, it was a decent spot

It also felt noticeably warm inside, and the AC could have been a little cooler. The tables also felt pretty crowded and close together. A little more space between tables would definitely make the dining experience more comfortable. That said, Irena absolutely knocked it out of the park with her service. She stepped in to help the server covering our section, and she was fantastic. She was engaging, friendly, knowledgeable, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. Her service really made a difference in our overall experience. Honestly, without Irena, this probably would have been a 2 star experience. She deserves a lot of credit for turning things around and making our evening enjoyable. Irena was the highlight of our visit and a true asset to the restaurant!

Well above average soup and salad bar and the meats I chose needed no additional seasoning from me. The money we saved by not buying drinks , we added to the waiter Mike's tip. They are also good at explaining how things work there. My wife (who is a cheese cake snob) says that it was the best cheesecake ever for her I tried a bite and it was really good. My one regret was saving myself for the meats served table side by not getting so much from the salad bar. I wished I would have hit that salad bar another time or two which I WILL next time. You will enjoy yourself at this place. Bring your appetite!

Cincinnati Burger Week brought us in for dinner!…read more I have to admit, I was a little confused by the vibe of the place. I couldn't tell if it wanted to be a restaurant, a bar, or just a neighborhood hangout... it felt like a little bit of everything. It wasn't dirty, but it definitely looked like it could use a good deep cleaning. Also, the light directly above our table flickered on and off during our entire meal. It was incredibly distracting. Someone please call an electrician! Our server, Gabby, was pleasant enough, but the service didn't really stand out. We were there for almost two hours and never received a single water refill. Maybe it's because we only ordered one beer, but I still expected a little more attentiveness. Now for the food... I ordered the All American Burger. The highlight was definitely the beef and you could tell it was fresh and good quality. Unfortunately, the rest of the burger didn't come together for me. The toppings and flavors just didn't mesh the way I expected. The fries, however, were delicious! Overall, the meal was just... okay. I wouldn't say it was bad by any means, but it also wasn't memorable enough to have me rushing back.

I would return to try other Mac bowls, seems to be their specialty. I would love to see a seafood option offered for the Mac bowls (lobster etc). I would also like to see maybe some hand cut fresh fries for the loaded fries to justify the high pricing. Happy Hour pricing is great!!!!
