The young lady who took our order was so friendly and made ordering easy by answering all of our questions and helping us choose. We ordered the catfish and shrimp pasta along with the Big Back Combo, and everything was amazing! The food was fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The sauce was absolutely delicious and tied everything together. Between the outstanding food, excellent customer service, and warm atmosphere, this place exceeded our expectations.

As we waited for our food, we saw many people coming in to pick up their carry out orders. Ours was for dine in, and we waited quite a while, but I think these orders were being completed before ours began. There was definitely more foot traffic for carry out than to dine in on this chilly Sunday afternoon in Legacy Village. I wouldn't consider this a fast food restaurant as we waited over 25 minutes to receive our food and we were in there for almost an hour. The food quality and ingredients were worth the time and money though! They did not appear to have fountain drinks. There was a cooler with bottled beverages, including bottled water, so I don't think they even do cups of free water (but I didn't ask so I'm not totally sure.) The service was friendly and the employees were approachable and knowledgeable.

He rushed us through ordering, was impatient when we asked for extra items (napkins, sauces, etc.) and rushed us to pay the bill. My cousin is a regular and was also shocked by the service. It was like we were bothering him at his job. The food was good. I had the Heck's burger and added onion rings. The burger was cooked to my liking and juicy. The food was the saving grace. I wanted to try desert but the service was a turnoff.

Our server was great, suggesting items since it was our first time here. We started with the Gem lettuce salad to share. The dressing was delicious and it was a good portion to share as a starter for 3 people. I had the Petite Filet for dinner which was cooked perfectly. The asparagus on the side was very charred. The plating of the dish was also lacking. The lobster roll sandwich plate was very empty. The sweet potato was great and the crème Fraiche was so good. My friends enjoyed their sandwiches. Overall nice restaurant and atmosphere but pricey.

My wife and daughter took me to the RH Rooftop Restaurant for a Father's Day Brunch. I was little…read moreskeptical initially entering a furniture store with NO price tags on the furniture and shown to the elevator for the 3rd floor Rooftop. To my surprise there was a Restaurant in a glass atrium and gave me vibes of being back in Orange County, CA or LA. We had reservations at 11:30 am. and arrived at 11:15 am. We were asked to wait. There seemed to be a lot of employees walking around and many tables were open but seemingly still had to wait. So 15 minutes later we were taken to our table. The air conditioning was definitely on point so bring a jacket. Our server warmly welcomed us and wished me well for Father's Day. Shockingly the restaurant didn't do anything special for fathers as a complimentary gesture. The server took our drink orders and waters came within minutes and after that everything went into "SLOW MODE". My daughter's Cesar salad came in about 20 minutes from the order. Our main entrees came out (1) Hour after the salad and my lamb chops and potatoes were warm at best. The flavor for the lamb-chops were wonderful but the potatoes were very salty. I would skip on the green beans as they had no flavor and only topped with kosher salt. My wife enjoyed her breakfast plate and the sausages were HUGE. The pancakes seemed to be the big hit. They were sharply thin and had amazing vanilla flavor on their own and were wonderful without maple syrup. They didn't last long as my daughter devoured my wife's portion. My daughter liked her truffle fries but had some challenges with the Steak Sandwich as her jaws were hurting after eating the first half. The type of roll used is very chewy and unfamiliar as we are originally from Philadelphia. (I know, bad decision) but she had her choice. No sweet treats for us. The ambiance is amazing but I would say that we would return. The food was fine except for my temperature but our issue was predominantly the wait time. Happy Father's Day

Luckily there are plenty of areas outside you can sit and hangout at while you wait. Service is always friendly! I go here so often, but my go-to faves are the two salmon dishes on the menu. The salmon is always cooked perfectly and never dry. The garnish that comes with the dishes pairs perfectly. I always leave feeling satisfied. This last trip, I also did try their lemonade, and it's to die for!

Since we were hungry, we followed another yelper's advice of getting an appetizer since we were warned the mains can take 30-40 minutes. Ordered the cracklin wings--got the ghost pepper dry rub which was recommended by the staff who also reassured me that it wasn't too spicy given that it was also sweet and came with ranch. Tasted great, super crispy on the outside, chicken not the most juicy but still tender. 4/5. Also ordered the truffle orcchiette, pork chop, and heirloom carrots. The truffle orcchiette had a great al dente texture but surprisingly compared to the other yelper reviews, was saltier than expected. 4/5 Favorites were definitely the pork chop and heirloom carrots. The pork chop came without the bone, already chopped up, and was the he most tender pork chop I've had. 5/5 The carrots were so well seasoned, with a great charred taste and came with an addicting puree. 5/5 Service was fantastic, with great recommendations. While the birthday guest was away from the table, I did sneakily ask if they do anything for birthdays, and the staff said that they do a scoop of ice cream. Since the sticky toffee pudding already came with a scoop of ice cream, they were considerate to do 2 cookies instead--the cookies weren't too sweet and reminded me of brownie batter. Sticky toffee pudding was good. 4/5 Restaurant is located in Pinecrest so parking available as free parking in a garage about a block away or as pay by mobile street parking. Ambience is great, perfect for a nice meal for a date or hangout. Overall a great place to celebrate a special occasion due to all the good food choices and staff who know how to treat birthday guests well.

I called Sunday at 12:40p to make reservations for 2 to enjoy brunch. I was told by the male that…read moreanswered the phone that reservations would not be needed. I told him I would arrive within 40 mins and he said to just walk-in. The website says this is fine dining so for someone to answer the phone and discourage reservations was skeptical. When we arrived we were told since we didn't have reservations we had to sit outdoors. Now the forecast said rain in 10mins. So we told the lady at the desk that I spoke to the man that also at the door about reservations. She said no problem we waited about 10 minutes and we were seated. Our waitress Abby was amazing! I wanted a wellness drink and they were all out but she suggested other mocktail options. She then asked if we wanted tap water or sparkling bottle water. I was confused that they don't have filtered water. We got the tap and it smelled like sewer. We then asked for a bottle of sparkling water. And realized the glass cups smelled bad. If you want a wellness drink arrive early when they open around 11am. It was 1pm when I ordered my food. I ordered the Farmer's breakfast, it came with Two eggs any style, choice of crispy bacon or chicken sausage, grilled sourdough, potatoes. The potatoes were crumbs and left overs, a scoop of potatoes. For a $19 meal I couldn't believe what I was being served. The chicken sausage was amazing! The sourdough bread was grilled with no oil or butter. I asked for jelly thinking they would have compote. Instead they have mini jars of jelly. The main difference is that jam is a shelf-stable, fruit-puree preserve made with high amounts of sugar and added pectin. Compote is a chunkier, less sugary fruit sauce cooked quickly without pectin and meant to be eaten fresh. My husband had the Last Chicken Sandwich, which he said was good but the sandwich didn't come with a side just a $18 chicken sandwich that tasted wonderful.

Wanted to like this place more but it just fell flat. Came…read morehere after a hike nearby with a girlfriend. She was hesitant to choose this place at first because she wanted more options than just burgers/sandwiches. Thankfully we found some Google images of the menu that had rice bowls. Friend ordered a salmon rice bowl and I ordered their famous donut burger. I thought the donut was a little too small and skinny for the price at $14. Also, this is a big kicker--no fries or sides! Within the burger, just a square of Kraft cheese, some bacon, smash burger type patty (2) but no onions, tomatoes or even cucumbers (or pickles). The value is just not it for this. Did it taste good? It did but I needed more of a crunch. Just 1 or 2 slices of raw onion would've been good. Oooooh or like crispy haystack onion straws would be perfect. Server said fries were an additional $5. Okay, no thanks! The place was really loud. It echoed slightly and just the clientele were extremely rowdy on a non-holiday Wednesday evening. It took a while to get seated, for server to even come over to take our order and to request our check. Not very impressed with the experience.

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.
