"Northbound seems to be hit or miss and the other night it was definitely a miss. The cocktails were good, the tuna poke was great and we enjoyed eating on the patio. That was the extent of positives. I was there with a friend and we are foodies, we both decided to try the Sirloin Coulotte based on the description and photo. As soon as it came out we could smell the overwhelming amount of garlic and tasted other odd flavors, we both just looked at each other, but decided we should at least try the sirloin…I’ve only said this a handful of times in my life, but it was so tough it was actually inedible. I explained it to our waitress who was very nice and told us their head chef was on vacation. We were still hungry, so ordered the House Made Ricotta, which was was bland and came with cold soggy sourdough and stale crackers.The manager was kind enough not to charge us for the Sirloin, but Northbound needs to upgrade and add to their menu. They have a salmon dish and a smoked salmon fettuccine, which is a bit redundant. It would be great if they added their crab cakes as a standard menu item instead of an occasional special.We will probably go back, but stick with their small bites, wings, salads and maybe try a pizza."
