Hemisphere North Restaurant

What a beautiful day to be at @deckatpgh! Sunshine and happy hour, couldn't ask for more! We were glad it wasn't very busy on Monday, so it was nice and quiet. First we got the mussels (HH $15), deliciously mage and perfectly cooked, only one questionable mussel out of the batch, the rest were very fresh. Oysters are $2 each for happy hour, very fresh and clean. Got the 2 piece fish and chips ($22), fries were crispy and fluffy, amazing! Fish is fresh, not over-battered and cooked well. There was good balance in flavor for the spicy wok fried squid (HH $14). I saw someone with wings ($15) and wanted some myself, these were pretty good, a little overcooked but still juicy and a good size. Overall enjoyed our meal, service is friendly, could improve on attention to detail such as clearing our tiny table of clutter (had to flag our waiter down and ask him to clear the table). Beautiful location and decor!

They’ve done a good job with renovating this place from what it used to be. Has a beautiful view. The food is good. Prices are ok but it’s a nice spacious place. Staff are friendly. Free parking up to 2 hours (get a free ticket by entrance doors). Seems like it could get busy but line seems to move fast. I like the ambience - it’s very chill. Mixed crowd of locals and tourists.

Service was slow. Waited for over 20 minutes for lunch service. Then after they served the server would not come back for 40 minutes. Food was below average and very expensive. The fish and chips was bland. The raw oysters were small and not very good. Most people I was with went to McDonald’s afterwards!

We love this place and it’s just like the neighbourhood gem in Richmond, foods great and service excellent, special thanks for our server Jessica and the Manager Danny and the receptionist Josphine, they all did a good job ... thanks once ! And we also found they had singers on Saturday .. so great and we enjoyed it ~ such a beautiful weekend ! And don’t forget book a table before go !!

I love how pretty the restaurant is and parking is free for two hours but the service we got here really didnt make it worth our time or money. For starters, our server took ages to acknowledge she had a table. Once she did, she only punched in appetizers and completely forgot about our entrees. Which was probably a good thing, considering the cheese on our nachos seemed to have some sort of barcode of them? I guess the kitchen staff didn’t take a close enough look while they were cooking. I wouldn’t recommend dining here, i’d only hit the bar for a couple drinks.
