The writer from 435-South (name escapes me) was talking about this on Walt Bodine last week. If you care to know more, I'm sure it's archived but I imagine she was quoting from the press release, not that I think of it. Someone made a joke about North being so far south and snapped me out of my trance and I realized I didn't know if she said she had eaten there, or???

It's opened. Has anyone been?

Jeremy went a few weeks ago. He said the atmosphere was ultra trendy and really really loud. They play techno music. He said the food was kinda average, same thing you find at all of these kinda small transplant chains. I mistakenly tried to send my dad there last weekend (he’s a strouds guy) and there was a line out the door. I don't think they’re taking reso’s

I think if he would have eaten there he would have shot me…..

It's funny what works in JoCo and what doesn't .....

I don't think he would have shot you. Maimed, perhaps.

Some friends of my family ate there, I think this weekend. Their description was "if Macaroni Grill served way better food". From the way they talked about it, the similarities to Macaroni Grill were the "git 'em in, git 'em out" vibe from the staff, compounded by the abrasive weekend throngs. The food sounds decent enough, just nothing you couldn't get at other local spots minus the joy of getting elbowed to death by people acting like they are competing for a spot on a lifeboat.

You may be right. My in-laws tried to make one a few weeks back, and they wouldn't take it. They ended up at the Leawood Room 39 (to mixed reviews) and noticed a lot of empty tables in North when they walked by.

There's also NoRTH tucson, which was the second one built.

I actually like it a lot, but there are uaualy some service issues.

Never go to as restaurant the first month it is open, you won't get the true feel.

Give it awhile to settle in and I think you'll find it to your liking.'They have a pretty clever wine program if the guys down here are doing it for the place in Kansas as well.
