I love the genius who wrote ""You'd be better off eating at the Mayflower (where is that?) or Captain D's (?) and for a lot less."" Okay, #1, if you have even heard of or eaten at a fast-food seafood restaurant (I am assuming that is what genius was referring to), you do not belong at a seafood restaurant where REAL, FRESH SEAFOOD is served. And B: If your palate is familiar with the likes of Red Lobster and Captain Hook, then I can tell you right now that you don't have a clue what real seafood is supposed to taste like.\r
So, please don't listen to people who complain about close seating and price. It is a NEW RESTAURANT, and if you know anything at all about business, most restaurants fail in the first 12 months and 80% fail within 5 years. Close seating is not only necessary for financial viability, but also provides a nice ""neighborhood"" atmosphere. That is what North IS. It is neighborhood. And as for price, if you want good seafood then you should be prepared to bring your wallet anyway, Chief. It isn't pork and beans. This isn't Smithfield--it's North Raleigh. Most importantly, the crab legs are TWICE the size of those at Shuckers OR 42nd and they (what?) COST LESS!!! Amazing. I probably sound like an employee or manager/owner or something, but I'm not. I just live in Falls River and eat at this restaurant a lot. I would hate for someone to read a review from Buckminster Fuller and decide to go somewhere less worthy. So, if you have half a brain in this ridiculous, fast-paced, morally bankrupt, upside-down, microwave world we Americans live in, go have a nice meal at North. It'll do you good.
Pros: Friendly service, great seafood
Cons: parking, but that is because it is popular
