On Sunday we found ourselves in the neighborhood looking for a place to eat. It was 4 pm and Canoe and Grill 25 were not yet open. So we decided to try The North End. There were four of us - all hungry. We started with the knots and an order of curly fries. As we placed our order, we decided we would need another order of curly fries - they were good! We were just trying to decide if we needed more knots when our food arrived. The gentlemen both had pasta with sides of meatballs and sausage, there was a warm Italian sub, and a chicken parm dinner. Two in the group have cooked professionally and were anxious to try the sauce which was deemed a tad salty but better than most.
Our waiter was very pleasant, available but not hovering. We saw Scott chatting with other diners.
We talked about all the reviews we've read on the forum - yes the knots are different but we enjoyed them and we did note on the menu that bread is available, the wine glasses are different but the wine tasted the same and upon reflection we could recall being served in similar glasses at grandparents houses, paper menus - not a big deal, etc. All-in-all we were pleased with the food and the service. We will be back.
