Northside Bistro Raleigh

I’ve been looking forward to dining here for months! And the one night I decide to dine they’re closed! I was joined in frustration by other customers who said they had reservations for this evening.

No sign on the door! Very unprofessional. I hope they’re not closed for good as I’ve heard great things about their food. I hope to change this review but I feel the need to alert others this restaurant may be done for.

Edit: thank you to the owner for the quick response, I look forward to trying your restaurant soon.

The food is consistently excellent. The only complaint I had with my meal was the rice pilaf was just kinda there. I had the grouper and shrimp special. The fish and especially the shrimp were outstanding. My wife had the scallops and shrimp which she enjoyed very much. We shared the apple fritter bread pudding with house made ice cream and a bourbon caramel sauce that was to die for.

I really enjoy this North Raleigh restaurant and come often for lunch salads and delicious dinner with friends and always a mango martini! We love Chef John!

Had a wonderful anniversary celebration at Northside Bistro! We were a bit worried when we first walked in because of the casual atmosphere, but the FOOD was amazing! My husband got the Beef Wellington and I got the Miso salmon - both were exceptional! Our waitress also did a fantastic job. Highly recommend!

Exceptional! Northside has such a talented staff - great service, delicious food and a uniquely inviting atmosphere. Try the beef wellington or the stuffed shrimp- the entire menu is incredible!

Beef Wellington was exceptional. Apps and sides were also delicious. Drink selection was very good.

One of the best restaurants in North Raleigh. Food is great. Atmosphere is perfect. We usually sit in Cole's section, and he is phenomenal. They have a diverse menu, unique seasonal options, and great drink menu. The beef wellington is incredible.

Fantastic! Ambience was fun & upbeat. Menu was so creative & tasty - as were the drinks. Also - the service must be mentioned. Outstanding! Whether authentic or not, the hostess, wait staff& servers seemed genuinely happy to make the experience top notch. Highly recommend!

This place is a hidden gem - well, maybe not to locals but it was an unexpectedly great find for me. Casual ambience and excellent food. The menu was diverse and interesting. Drinks well made and an interesting wine list. Service hit that sweet spot of attentive but not annoying. As someone who often dines alone, I've experienced the subtle cues from servers who want to turn the table when I am by myself. None of that here. If I am back in Raleigh, I will come back here. Highly recommend.

I had the rib steak tacos. They were so so good. Are every bite. Comes with chips and salsa. Even had room for bread pudding. That was yummy too. With a Stella, my total was 37 bucks, but like I said super good, and I'm so picky about steak. It was juicy and melted in my mouth.

Stopped in for lunch and had a great meal! Surprisingly not very busy but our food was awesome and came out super fast. The duck wings were our favorite!

My husband and I absolutely loved everything. We started with 2 appetizers. Both the duck wings and cheese dip which were so delicious. The wings were crispy and the sauce took the taste over the top. The Italian cheese dip was simply incredible with the perfectly toasted garlic bread. Our lunch entrees were the salmon and the shrimp with scallops which were seasoned and cooked beautifully. Both entrees came with crisp broccoli and Jasmine rice which were simply delicious. Then, we decided to share the caramel apple cake dessert. It was soooo good and worth every calorie. The cake was not too sweet and well balanced with the cinnamon ice cream. This was our first visit; but, it certainly will not be our last. Wonderful service also from our server, Bri. She was very attentive and kind.

A hidden gem worth visiting.

We had a wonderful dinner to celebrate my birthday. The beef Wellington defies description. It's so delicious.. We've never had a bad meal here! Our server was attentive and engaging. A beautiful day and a lovely dinner.!

Nice ambience; food was delicious and worth every penny. Hostess was very accommodating and attentive
