  “Lovely spot, the steak is the best I have had in a very long time, and the creamed spinach. Staff are great and attentive. I would highly recommend this place”

  “Really enjoyed our Sunday roast! Everything tasted so fresh and full of flavour. The chicken was cooked perfectly, and the beef was lovely and tender, not dry at all. And the gravy was honestly some of the best I’ve ever had. You can tell they use quality ingredients and take pride in their food. Would definitely recommend!”

  “It was a nice restaurant in Cambridge. I’d have given 5 stars for the food if not for a slight strange taste with the steak (however, with the price, this could be forgiven). The steak was however cooked perfectly to medium rare as requested. Fries were amazing. Broccolini was cooked to my liking. Prawns were yum. Service was a bit meh, but I was famished so that could be forgiven as well.”

  “Review North star Restaurant Dining Club Meal Friday 11 September 2026 The Father and Daughter were the hosts this time, as my sister and myself arrived first at the restaurant just before our hosts did, when we all arrived, a waiter showed us to our table, and we all sat down, and a little time later our waitress for the evening Ha, gave us our drinks menus, and put down two jugs of tap water for us to drink, before we ordered our drinks. After a short while we ordered our drinks, my sister and I two pints of IPA lager, and the Father and Daughter ordered, a pint of IPA, and a Diet Coke, and a glass of wine. For our Starters, my sister ordered Steamed Fresh Mussels, in a Cream and White Wine Sauce, I had Crispy Chilli Prawns, the Daughter had Salt and Pepper Squid with Lemon and Garlic Aioli, and the Father had Father had Jumbo Seared Scallops and Parsley Butter and Fries. For our Mains, my sister and Myself had Fish and Chips which was Haddock in Batter, with Mushy Peas and Tartar Sauce, the Father had Fillet Steak with Chips Pancetta Lardons and Petit Pois, and the Daughter had Sirloin Steak with Sweet Potato Fries. For the Dessert, my sister, myself and the Father, had Sticky Toffee Pudding, and the Daughter decided to pass on Dessert.”

  “Lobster scam! The lobster won't have the claw! I asked the waitress and she said that claw meat was taken out and put in the half - lie, the was no claw meat at all! It's the best part of the lobster and I paid £30 for it and didn't get it. Even fries weren't good - soft and cold. The waitress (long fake nails) had way too much attitude and wasn't nice. We weren't given drinks menu at all. When I said I would like tea she didn't tell what tea they have. There was no paper in the loo. All these little details ruin the atmosphere. I had lobster in this place when it was Loch Fine and it was great - not a shadow of that greatness is left in the North Star. Huge birthday disappointment!”

  “Absolutely incredible from start to finish! The food was outstanding – every dish was beautifully presented, full of flavour, and cooked to perfection. You can really tell that high-quality ingredients are used, and every bite exceeded expectations. The service was just as impressive. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made us feel genuinely welcome without being overbearing. Deniz especially was extremely attentive and helpful! The atmosphere was warm, relaxed, and perfect for a special occasion or even just a lovely evening out. If you’re looking for one of the best oysters and seafood restaurants in Cambridge, this is definitely the place to go. I honestly couldn’t fault a single thing and will 100% be returning. Highly recommend!”

  “We ate at North Star a year ago and had the best meal of our trip to the UK. So when we were in Cambridge again a year later, we had to look it up and try again. I was a bit nervous since sometimes things change at restaurants and food quality and experience can go down. But we are happy to report that it has not. They continue to have excellent food and service. We had the loaf af bread ( hot and delicious) and buratta salad (perfectly seasoned with tasty sliced tomatoes on the side - super fresh and delicious) for starters and the dinner was off to a delicious start. I had a 10 oz ribeye with Potatoes Dauphinoise and my wife a 1/2 lobster. Steak was perfectly cooked (mid rare), flavorful and juicy and the potatoes were excellent. I had a bit of my wife's lobster and it was sweet and amazing. We shared a creme brulee for dessert - small but perfect since we were quite full. All this was paired with excellent and friendly service. The waitress even allowed us to be seated in the same table as last year - just for memories sake. Truly an amazing experience and I highly recommend! I can't wait till we return!”

  “The food was great! I had mussels for starter (pictured) and the seafood linguine for main. My mum has the scallops which were amazing (pictured). The service was excellent with very friendly staff and accommodating to us bringing our dog. They even brought me a surprise for my birthday!”

  “We’ve been to the northstar twice now, and wow what a little find. We’ve recently celebrated our anniversary here. They treat you so special and they put our desserts on the house! The steaks are to die for, drinks are made so well and the desserts are 🤤 definitely be coming back here for many years to come! It is a bit pricey, but I always say you get what you pay for.”

  “From beginning to end, the service was fantastic. The host was extremely welcoming and immediately made you feel at home and ready for a great evening. I forgot to get the name of our server (she had blonde, curly hair), but she was absolutely amazing, very attentive, made us laugh, and made sure our glasses were filled at all times. Now, the food. It’s definitely on the more affordable side for steaks in Cambridge, and I tried some of my friends’ steaks, cooked perfectly and truly succulent. The oysters were so fresh, and the mussels were to die for. We all loved the fries; you could tell the oil they use is high quality and changed regularly. The Caesar salad had the option of adding chicken or salmon, which was a wonderful touch and whilst I didn’t try it my friend was very pleased with the salmon option. The chilli broccoli was extremely well seasoned. Overall, not a single one of us had anything we’d change about the meals, it was delicious, did not take very long especially for a Saturday night and even though the restaurant was busy we felt like a priority. We all got cocktails and they were very well made. The mojito was perfectly minted, and the Old Fashioned was beautiful to drink and to look at. The wine menu was extensive, and we also ordered some prosecco that I can’t remember the name of that was delicious. Highly recommend. We’ll definitely be visiting again, and if you’re a steak or seafood lover, I can’t see why you wouldn’t go!”
