on Citysearch Jul 15, 2009Tucked away in a little corner of Goochland County, in the Big City of Crozier, is an outstanding eating establishment called The North Pole. Its atmosphere is unequalled for its quaintness and eclectic... (more)

on Citysearch Jun 01, 2009We moved to Crozier about 8 years ago in a snow storm, we tried the North Pole and have been devoted fans ever since. The steaks are by far the best I have ever had, far beyond the Ruth Chris and other over priced chains. The... (more)

on Citysearch Apr 07, 2009Great relaxed but still somewhat formal atmosphere. Food is unbeatable for the price. The rooms are hardwood walls, and well lit. The wait staff is attentive and on the ball with service. I have never left this place... (more)

on Citysearch Feb 18, 2009Visited the North Pole about a month ago with a few old friends. I had heard it was a great place and had wanted to dine there for a while. Very dissappointed. The service was great but the food was way overpriced for what... (more)

on Citysearch Feb 12, 2009Kim, they do take reservations at least they took mine. I guess I will find out out if they honor them. I have eaten there numerous times and have always been pleased with the food & service.... (more)

on Citysearch Feb 12, 2009A small,dingy linoleum- enshrouded dining area. In truth, the steaks are quite nice, but the service is plain awful. Maybe it's a Richmond thing, I have seen it before - when the decor is sub par, and the service is not... (more)

on Citysearch Aug 21, 2008We go to the North Pole all the time, we have never been disappointed. The food is great, no matter what we have ordered and the service has been great. The steaks are wonderful and aren't heavily covered with a sauce or... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 16, 2008Obviously s2m8 wasn't at the North Pole, because everyone knows the North Pole doesn't take reservations!! Whatever... it's a great 'joint' for a fabulous steak or a wonderful pile of snow crab legs, nice bottle of... (more)

on Citysearch Apr 23, 2008We've been there quite a few times and the food and service was always good until last night. They did not honor reservation requests made 2 months in advance. When questioned, the staff told us that it was the... (more)

on Citysearch Sep 14, 2007For the review that review that is titled "How do they win", I can tell you. The owner gets one of his staff members to vote for an entire night, over and over during the contest. That is all she comes in to do. The food and... (more)

on Citysearch Nov 02, 2006Possibly the worst dining experience of my life. When the person who greets you at the door is rude, you should just leave. But, I didn't. I decided to give it a try. The waitstaff was rude and unhelpful. They actually... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 30, 2006Over the years, I've made the long drive to go here. The food was always great and usually the atmosphere as well. It was one of my favorites. Now, it's just pretty good food with a lot of hassle. If you want a "well,... (more)

on Citysearch Jan 10, 2006I invited friends to gather for a good meal and music for one's birthday. My steak was tender and tasty. My friend's steak was average with lots of gristle. The scallops were good. The dining room is small. The... (more)

on Citysearch Dec 27, 2005The food was excellent and the service was even better. I was a little skeptical at first since I found this restaurant off of city search, but I was delightfully surprised about about how wrong I was. The service was... (more)

on Citysearch Jun 12, 2005I've been eating steaks at the North Pole for many years. Dick Rossi serves a steak cooked exactly to order. That is, for people who appreciate a properly cooked steak. All steaks are individually inspected by chef... (more)

on Citysearch Oct 12, 2003The yuppie/country squire influx into Goochland County might well result in the spate of pans for TNP, but TNP was here before them and will be there after they've moved on to suburbanize Louisa. The food is... (more)

on Citysearch Sep 05, 2003Just to get the facts straight, it is over 30 miles from Shockoe Slip, though heading down Route 6 is a very pleasant country drive. Service has varied over the past several times I've been, but is usually quite... (more)

on Citysearch Aug 13, 2003<b>The Scene</b><br>Like everywhere that specializes in steak, burnished wood paneling dominates the feel. The large fireplace lends that special cozy ambiance in the winter. The romance factor is high for a... (more)

on Citysearch Jan 28, 2003My wife and both thought the steaks not tender, the service poor and side dishes not fresh. Just expected more after hearing so much about it. (more)

on Citysearch Oct 30, 2002Why I hate the North Pole: the best steaks anywhere, a great atmosphere with memorabilia of it's history, cozy and intimate setting. Oh yes, did I mention the steaks! Or the butterfly shimp! Or the tangy homemade... (more)

on Citysearch Aug 24, 2002North Pole was recommended by business colleagues. It is a little out of the way, but well worth the trip. Steak was cooked to perfection and the onion rings were the best I have had in a long while.... (more)

on Citysearch Aug 18, 2002The North Pole is a wonderful place to eat. It is a friendly and welcoming atmasphere to take my 9 year old son. Not a whole lot of places can fix a great steak for me to eat and like it. I am a person whom feels a great steak is a... (more)

on Citysearch Aug 12, 2002This place is still largely a secret in Richmond. About a 30 minute drive from the West End. Fantastic food and very worth the drive. Great steaks and seafood. Never had a bad meal. Wine is cheap and good. $25 for a decent... (more)
