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 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.

The service is really good. Seated promptly, waters come out promptly, minor order modifications handled easily. We have really enjoyed the variety of food. My husband loves the salads and the bowls and pizzas are also good. Probably the favorite entree we have had is the fish and chips. We find the drinks particularly reasonably priced and the cocktails are good. We really like the blueberry one. The space is sunny and open. We have been with our kids and see lots of friendly groups dining there. Free parking in the garage is another plus.

I forget our servers name, but the manager also came by to check on us and even got my food boxed. We got a burger and the chicken katsu and of course the famous biscuits to start. The biscuits were very good but also a bit buttery greasy for our taste. One was enough (we split it). I did take the rest home and add some eggs to it for breakfast which was good! The burger was pretty good. Nice and salty. Not dripping with grease. Soft bun! The fries were decent but not my preferred style. I like fresh cut and these were kind of a shoestring fry. The chicken was decent but a pretty small portion that left my fiancé hungry. He said the side with it was just ok. We got cocktails that I can't recall but they were pretty good. We would go back and try some other things. Probably on a less busy day earlier in the week.

We sat in the little covered outdoor area, so I cannot speak to the ambiance inside, but the lovely weather made it a great spot to catch up! I will say it gets VERY sunny for a bit if you're facing the sunlight. Our server was so friendly.

It was extremely disappointing and ice cold.

I can't rate the ambiance or service as I do not know.

Unfortunately, a nasty pandemic ended the brunch buffet, but didn't hurt the quality of the…read morerestaurant at all. I finally made my return to Trio Bistro today for an amazing meal. 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.

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

SO so good…read more We started with the lavender lemonade mocktail -- which I absolutely added tequila to -- and it was smooth, refreshing, and dangerously delicious. 10/10 would order again exactly the same way. For appetizers, we got the whipped feta. Delicious, creamy, and perfect for sharing -- but fair warning: avoid the peppers if you're not into a little kick. They sneak up on you! My friend and I split the house salad and WOW. A complete showstopper. So fresh, the vinaigrette was bright and delightful, and those fresh bacon bits? Chef's kiss. It's rare that a house salad stands out like that, but this one absolutely did. Now let's talk about the prime rib. I typically do not like steak or prime rib... but our waitress recommended it as the best thing on the menu, and honestly the Yelp photos had already convinced me. When I tell you it was BOMB -- I mean it. So tender. So flavorful. Perfectly cooked. Paired with broccolini and mashed potatoes, it was a whole experience. To end the night, we shared the apple tart with cinnamon ice cream -- warm, sweet, comforting, and the perfect finish to an already amazing meal. Overall, this was a fantastic dining experience from start to finish. Great service, incredible food, and such a vibe. I cannot wait to come back.

I got the lavender lemonade mocktail which was delicious and refreshing without being too floral or soapy. For dinner I got the braised short rib which was so tender you could cut it with a fork. The bone marrow demi glaze I could have a bowl of that stuff is phenomenal. The broccolini was roasted perfectly but I felt the potatoes could've used more seasoning. My mother got the lemon chicken pasta, which was good at the time, but when she got home it did not sit well with her. All in all, I would come back for the short rib, and I hope Alara finds a new location soon. The inside is nice and romantic seating, but it is cold ... like bring a jacket and it seems it doesn't matter the season it is colder inside because I saw a google review that also mentioned the temperature of the dining room.

I got the Fajita Bowl with chicken, hubby got Alfredo Bowl with chicken and two little garlic breads. Another got Fried Fish and fries. So hubby said his Alfredo had good flavor, chicken was cooked nicely, but the garlic bread was hard as a rock. He said the sauce was thick and wished it was a little creamier. Mine tasted good, had a nice blend of corn, black beans, red peppers and chicken was perfect. The only thing I would add would be some salsa. Our friends enjoyed their food as well.

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.
