	John and I attended our friend's Christmas Party on Friday night where you catered the food. It was fantastic!! So many terrific comments. The beef was to die for and the chowder a huge hit. Of course this lead to many of the guests sharing stories of their favourite menu items or meals that they have enjoyed at North.

	Just finished the outstanding "steak lunch" that was ordered by Netjets catering departure for my arrival at the Muskoka Airport. The food was excellent and very well presented!! I commend your restaurant and chef for the best catering I have had here at Netjets in 10 years. All of the food we have catered for us is very good but yours is the best! You "ROCK"!!!!!!

	Thanks to all of you, and your team, the reception I hosted at Grace & Speed on Friday night was a great success. The birthday girl, and all of our guests, thoroughly enjoyed themselves, and I received consistent unsolicited comments throughout the evening about the wonderful food. I absolutely share that sentiment. The execution of the menu was superb, and I can be very picky on that subject. Robbie and Alain, we haven’t met, but I am very impressed by the quality and caliber of your of your creations.

	Fodor's Travel Guide
	Since opening in 2007, North, located in the centre of Gravenhurst, has been praised as one of the best restaurants in Muskoka serving hearty Canadian fare making good use of local game and produce. The menu changes seasonally, but has featured pan-roasted wild boar chop with blueberry-port wine reduction and poached sable fish in a pickled ginger and champagne cream sauce. The small dining room, with high backed dark leather chairs and white table clothes paired with rustic-looking pine stained floors has a metropolitan-edged, farm-to-table chic. Despite its being one of the classiest establishments in town, the atmosphere is relaxed and the service friendly and approachable.

	After opening up their successful North Restaurant in Gravenhurst in 2007, neither Alain or Robbie Irvine could have dreamt that within just a few short years their business would have more than an IPod. Today North has expanded to include a high-end fish and chip shop (The Back Door Fish with Chips), serves the town's best breakfast, provides catering services to the nearby Marriott Residence Inn, prepares lunches and dinners for the steamship RMS Segwun and her sister ship the Wenonah II and offers in-cottage cooking, catering and menu consultation services, including theatre style cooking events. One of the family's favourite spin-offs is to provide food to the numerous private jets using the busy Muskoka Airport. After dining at North it's not hard to see why the Irvines have done so well. Their evening menu is a mix of the downright delicious (roasted fresh Quebec chicken supreme), the classy (braised lamb shanks) and the unexpected (pan seared ostrich in a Canadian port reduction). Topping it all are feature Market Menus that showcase local farmer's market produce including such delights as Grenville Farms' fresh pea soup with mint foam and parmesan chips, followed by pan sauteed Milford Bay trout, carrot sauce with lime and basil and rounded off with Muskoka rhubarb and strawberry flan with Tahitian vanilla ice cream.

	My only complaint is that the crab salad should have been served as a main course - it was delicious! We have cruised all over the world and never had food that good!

	Internet review
	Yes, absolutely North is the best restaurant in town. The food is eclectic, creative, with an emphasis on local sourcing. The wine list is a bit limited, but some decent bottles there. Be warned though, you will be paying Toronto prices, this is superb dining and you have to expect to pay for that.

	We visited Taboo at the end of July and heard about your restaurant from one of the staff members. Although it was lunch, the Chef prepared us the lamb dinner dish. It was remarkable. The Chef even came to our table. A special thanks to our server Katarina from Germany.

	Just wanted to send a quick note before we left for Greece to let you know how much we appreciated absolutely everything you did for us. I know there must have been tons of work behind the scenes, but you never waivered and never let the stress show. You helped make our dream wedding come true and for that we are eternally grateful. I also wanted to let you know that we received a lot of praise for your servers. All of our guests were blown away by their professionalism and poise.

	My admiration for your abilities has soared and the pleasure I feel in thanking you for your exceptional dedication should exceed by far any pleasure you derived from giving it. You are a credit to your profession. It was a pleasure working with you and your crew, and I look forward to the next opportunity.
