Short Review: Absolutely fantastic and incredible! Delicious food, incredible staff, exquisite place! Worth every single penny!
Long Review: My partner and I wanted an easy, low-key dinner for 9 to celebrate our wedding. Everyone at Northridge exceeded our expectations!
We placed our reservation a week in advance and had requests regarding dietary restrictions for some guests and removing prices from the menu for our celebration, which they not only fulfilled but proposed making special menus with my partner and my first name initials!
On the day, it was an incredible experience because we could actually have a delicious, RELAXED dinner! The staff was incredibly attentive, unobtrusive and professional (no unnecessary clearing of plates or asking "Are you still working on that?") We were all at ease and time passed by leisurely (we were there for 4 hours! I had no idea!). I'm extremely appreciative of their patience and respect for our dinner party.
Now, for the food. Wow o wow!! Incredible presentation, portion sizes and preparation! Just let yourself be guided on a foodie journey by their chef and incredible staff! I believe among everyone in our party we had everything on the menu. Everyone enthusiastically agreed it was an incredible meal.
Lastly, but not least, the atmosphere. Woolverton spent 4 years renovating and rebuilding the barn that is now Northridge and the work that went into that building is thoughtful, tasteful and incredible. Makes the place a truly unique, cozy and comfortable space. The best part, we could all have a conversation that you could hear across the table! Definitely a challenge in many other places.
I can not recommend Northridge enough. Totally worth it and we WILL be back! Best celebration to pair with our...
Read moreOur family of four have been anxiously awaiting the opening of Northridge and it did not disappoint! The setting is absolutely gorgeous. The restaurant is laid out very well; tables are not too close and it is decorated beautifully. The fire place adds a very nice touch. The outdoor area looks wonderful and they plan to have outdoor seating in the warmer weather. The staff is so friendly and helpful. We were treated so well from the moment we walked in. The food was perfection! Each course was cooked perfectly and tasted amazing. For appetizers we had the Caesar salad, butternut squash tart and the potato and lobster soup. Each dish was presented beautifully and tasted incredible. For our entree's 2 of us had salmon and 2 of us had steak. Again, cooked to perfection and absolutely delicious. We did not have dessert, though I am sure it was incredible. The meal was priced in line with most of the restaurants in the area but one of the big differences I have to highlight is that the quality matched the price! So many restaurants in this area have high prices and medium quality. This meal was worth every penny. We definitely plan on recommending the Northridge to everyone we know and going again in the near future. They also allowed us to see the event space and it is stunning! So happy to have this gem...
Read moreThe Northridge restaurant at Woolverton Inn offers a beautiful dining setting, both indoors and on the surrounding grounds. The décor and atmosphere create a special occasion feel right from the start.
The food itself was truly delicious and well-prepared, but the pacing of the meal left room for improvement. Our experience stretched close to three hours, with about a 45-minute wait before our order was even taken. This may have been due to staffing challenges, but it did affect the overall flow of the evening.
While the flavors shone, the portion sizes were surprisingly modest for the cost—even by modern diet-conscious standards. For example, the salmon entrée appeared to be under four ounces, which felt unexpectedly small for a main course at this level of dining.
It’s worth noting that the restaurant is BYOB, though they do offer a small selection of wine bottles for purchase if you prefer not to bring your own.
In summary, Northridge delivers on taste and ambiance but could improve by refining portion sizes and service pacing to match the otherwise high quality of...
