We tried this restaurant tonight & I could not be more impressed! Every item is, or is available, gluten-free. The only things not gluten-free is the pasta & rolls, but gluten-free is available. The fryer is gluten-free only so fries are safe for even Celiacs! I personally had the fish & chips, which is fried gluten free cod, & was incredible! Other menu items (curry & fried rice special with GF fried tofu pictured) also looked amazing! There is no doubt that will be back again soon!!!! Need to try the mac & cheese and so many other menu options!!!!

Visiting from San Antonio and wanted a local spot away from The Commons. Found Northstar after our visit to Ithaca Falls and wow, did we strike gold. Great vibe, stocked bar (that's also a pop culture scavenger hunt), great service and the best meal we had the whole trip. Fried green tomatoes that are Gluten Free, yes please! My wife had the salmon & grits and I crushed the Tamari glazed chicken. Flower Power IPA & the Gentle Violet for the drinks. Thanks Jed & team for a great experience, we'll be back.

Great Red Curry dish over rice with chicken. It will be hard to opt for something different on my next visit. Although while gazing at dishes as servers delivered them to nearby tables it appears I will have to try everything eventually. Interesting cocktail list, spirits and spirit free. Great atmosphere, wonderful service. Will return. No doubt!

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Ace Green · Mar 2026

For a ‘farm to table’ spot it’s VERY selective on what they choose. We arrived at 5:45 and they were out of steak and chicken. The wings were really good! But the fried chicken sandwich was the equivalent of a mcChicken… frozen from a big box distributor. We would have shared this with the server but no one came back until we asked for the bills

This vegetarian leaning restaurant serves up some delicious dishes, including some with animal protein. I selected the pork and mushroom special. The pork was slowly roasted with spices and herbs. There were several types of herbs flavoring the mushrooms. Blood orange margarita was a great accompaniment. Appetizer was squash fritters with a delicious sauce. We also tried the squash curry and yum, definitely worth trying. This is a must try restaurant.
