    Our wait person was wonderful and added to the enjoyment of the food . I must express one bus person was too eager to clear our table . It seemed like she just wanted us to leave so she could go home or something. I sake for more crisps for our tar tar and you would think it was a mystery! All jn all it was a great dinner . Far from our first time there and we love love love this restaurant! WE WILL BE BACK!

    I went to North Shore Bistro with family members, including my 99 year old father. We all loved the food and thought it was outstanding. Several of us ordered the Chilean Sea Bass over couscous and roasted vegetables. The fish absolutely melted in the mouth and was fresh and flavorful. The couscous/ vegetable melange was tasty and provided a slightly crunchy texture and robust taste which complemented the fish perfectly. My husband had veal meatballs with pasta and it was excellent. We ordered a chocolate banana cake for dessert and devoured it. The cake was moist and flavorful. We all thought it was truly a fine dining experience and can't wait to go back and try more delicious offerings on the menu. It's a bit loud, but even with our senior citizen ears, we were able to hear each other at a table of five.
