text: A huge fan of Fox restaurants, I was beyond disappointed with my experience at NoRTH. My friends and I love dining out and Fox restaurants are always at the top of our list of places to go. During our recent visit to NoRTH, we started with the bruschetta (with asparagus and prosciutto) and the calamari salad. The bruschetta was tasty, but I simply could not stomach the salad. The arugula was limp and the calamari was 75 percent batter, 20 percent oil and a dash of seafood. It was clear the cooking oil had not been hot enough as the ringlets were soaked with grease. The dressing (which I, thankfully, ordered on the side) was both heavy and bland. Additional acidity (preferably fresh lemon juice) would have brightened the dressing and the salad (which should have been replaced with fresh greens), and the correct temp for the oil would have resulted in crisp, tender morsels of goodness. My friend ordered and enjoyed the pork tenderloin. But my scallops and risotto were undercooked, the former cold in the center, the latter crunchy and chewy, about 3-4 minutes ahead of al dente.\n\nWe wanted to enjoy a casual but fabulous dinner and we were looking forward to a lovely meal. I will always love the Fox brand and his amazing concepts, but to sum up this particular experience: #FAIL
