Appetizers and steaks were absolutely delicious, cooked to perfection with a beautiful sear, so tender they practically melted in our mouths - a true highlight of the meal! Esteban was knowledgeable and went above and beyond to ensure that our needs were met. He took the time to explain options clearly and offer thoughtful recommendations. Will be back!

First time trying the Aba Happy hour food! The spreads sampler gave us a chance to try them all and the Crispy chicken had the perfect crispy skin and heat from the different peppers! Falafels and shrimp were really good. Carrot cake was overly spiced and a bit dry so going to skip that next time!

An incredible experience from beginning to end. The food was innovative yet familiar, and each dish was incredible. Our server was outstanding and her enthusiasm when describing the courses and our wine pairings elevated the entire experience. Service overall was comparable to 3+ Michelin starred restaurants. We didn’t expect it to be *this* great, but they’re definitely overachieving at North Pond. Can’t wait for a return visit!
