Polenta. Unfortunately, it was dried out like it had sat under a heat lamp for too long.
Mike K.

I went with a small group and had high hopes because they said it was good. Things started out well with the service and the first drink I had, the Gulf of Mexico, was very tasty. Overall, it was a good ambience with the used books for sale on the wall and casual vibe. Appetizers were good, but really went downhill with the meal. I along with several others, ordered the polenta. It came out dry and overcooked like it had sat under the heat lamp for too long. It wasn't just mine, others had the same experience. Since it was one of their signature dishes, I expected a lot more in the quality of the preparation. Had it not been overcooked and dried out, it would've probably been pretty good. I ordered a second Gulf of Mexico, and it came in the wrong kind of glass, did not taste nearly as good as the first one. It actually tasted a bit mediciney as they had gotten the measurements completely wrong. The server was polite and did a nice job with our group. While I may give it a second try if someone suggested it, I probably would not pick it as a place to go back to.

Outstanding breakfast every time we visit :) It's the perfect spot - staff are always kind, food is absolutely delicious, and it feels like you're in the comfort of your own home. I can't say enough about this place. It's a must try if you're in Duluth area!

Maple brown sugar latte
Jennifer B.

We loved Sarah's table! The atmosphere is cozy and eclectic, and you can wait by their giant wood burning stove for your table. There is a parking lot on the side, so parking was easy. We had delicious giant breakfasts- everything from your typical sweeter fare to omelets to unique savory dishes. I had the Okonomiyaki off of the all day menu because I wanted something on the healthier side, and it was absolutely delicious. Our server told us that they tried to take it off the menu at one point, and there was basically a revolt, so they had to put it back. I see why. Our croissant was also a hit, and we loved the special Maple Brown Sugar Latte. It can get busy, especially for brunch on the weekends, so I suggest making a reservation if you can. They have an online wait list, so you can "get on line" before you even arrive to cut down your wait time if you are a walk-in. This is probably our favorite brunch spot in Duluth.

Hippie Farm Breakfast

This place was so delicious!!! Oh my god like do I move to Duluth so I can come here every weekend (or day)??? The food is delicious, and from what I understood, majority of it was also organic or locally sourced!! The inside feels like a cozy cabin. And the staff were all so so so friendly and amazing. Truly couldn't have had a better experience. Oh their drip coffee is also lovely (and bottomless duh).

Absolutely love the food here. We browsed the bakery case as we waited for a table. Every pastry and bread looked so good. I had to step away from the case. Haha I enjoy a hot chocolate that came with lots of whip and my hubby had a real cappuccino. Attentive waitress and relaxed atmosphere made for the a great breakfast. The corned beef hash was so hearty and so much flavor in my mouth. The Biscuit in a chorizo gravy was different but so creamy delicious with a spicy kick. The homemade biscuits was soft and soaked up all the sauce. Too full for dessert. When we walked out we watched employees go to their garden with baskets and they picked all kids of fresh herbs & veggies I assume. So cool.

Yam Fries
Deanie H.

Fantastic food in Duluth with plenty of vegan and vegetarian options! We ordered the tofu curry, quesabirria, and yam fries. The curry has been a staple on their menu for 20+ years according to our server. The best IMHO were the yam fries and their ranch is deeeelicious--tasted homemade! They also have a bakery counter with lots of GF and Vegan options. We got the blueberry & orange crumble tart and an affogato to-go. The affogato was perfect. Service was friendly and fast. We were even seated in the "bar area" which was just a quaint little add on to the main restaurant area. They're open late too!

Delicious food, genuine service, and comfortable atmosphere. We were there for lunch on a Saturday, about a 25 minute wait, but it went fast. Lots of seating, they were very busy. Can be a bit pricey, but the quality of the ingredients is high. Try them out! We had the Brisket Hash and GBLT.

Dinner salad with raspberry vinaigrette
Mike B.

We were passing through Duluth and needed to get something for dinner. When we asked about Sarah's Table at the front desk of our hotel the response from a distant voice that overheard us was an enthusiastic "Oh hell yes! That place is fantastic"! And it was! It was a warm, almost tropical summer night in Duluth (kind of a rare thing) so we sat out on the deck. Good choice. It was getting late and we didn't need a lot of food so my wife and I both ordered dinner salads and split the Okonomiyaki described on the menu as a "savory Japanese pancake". To me it was more like fancy hash browns. However you want to describe them they were delish. The dinner salads were fresh, generously portioned and gorgeous with the water melon radishes. All in all, a great meal at a great restaurant. Can't wait to stop again next time we're in the area.

This is my all-time favorite neighborhood restaurant. I love to stop by there for coffee in the morning and especially love to go there for dinner dinners and brunches. Lots of locals eat here as well as tourists. Make sure you get there with at least an hour to wait if you're going on a Saturday or Sunday morning.

At Sara's Table has been my absolute favorite spot in Duluth for years. As a proud UMD alum, I spent countless mornings here during college, making it a place that holds a special spot in my heart. Now, even though I only visit Duluth a couple of times a year with family or friends, one thing remains constant--At Sara's Table is a must for breakfast. While their lunch and dinner offerings are fantastic, there's just something extra special about breakfast here. The cozy, eclectic vibe makes it the perfect place to start the day, and no matter what you order, you truly can't go wrong. I typically lean toward sweet breakfasts, but on my most recent visit, I opted for the breakfast burrito--and let's just say, it did not disappoint. No matter what I get though, I always have to get their wild rice cranberry toast with jam. That jam is next-level! I wish they sold it to go. I did get their granola to go. :) Beyond the incredible food, the atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and effortlessly inviting. The staff is always friendly, making each visit feel worth it! I know I'll be back many, many, many more times!

Chorizo
KJ O.

We visit Sara's Table every time we visit Duluth. My husband gets the same thing every time, the chorizo biscuits and gravy. I on the other hand am more adventurous and have ordered anything from the smoked salmon platter to the French toast with stout syrup to the eggs Benedict. I'm convinced they can't make a bad meal which is what keeps us coming back. They have a great outdoor patio with plenty of seating with a view of Lake Superior. The inside is a classic, cozy diner, with vegan and gluten free options.

First and foremost, I'd like to say what an amazing establishment. There is nothing like this that…read moreI know of in the Duluth area. Moreover, I hope the denizens of the Duluth area support this establishment because, as much as I enjoy OMC, Grandma's Canal Park Brewing, this kind of restaurant is needed here. The impetus for the above statement revolves around the absence of chef-driven and curated menus that capitalize on locality, creativity, and seasonality. This restaurant is located just on the other side of I-35. Smack-dab on Superior Street, next to North Shore Tattoo. Entering the establishment, you will see a simple and modestly adorned restaurant that is warm, inviting, and adequately lit. The menu is seasonal and robust with wonderful creations. Think of this as a Mediterranean tapas restaurant with a couple of larger entree-sized sharables. Everything we had was an incredible experience of contrasting flavours and textures. Here is what we had 1. Trio of Dips: You should get this so you don't miss out on the experience of each of these. It is hard to pick a favorite, but the Red Pepper Walnut was incredible. The citrus compote livened up this. The Labneh was quite lovely. More moisture should have been removed, but the selection of herbs atop of the labneh made this pop. The hummus was enjoyable, and had a thicker consistency than I usually have, but it was pretty good. 2. Seared Halloumi - Who doesn't like fried cheese?? The ouzo onions were a terrific addition. Get this one for sure. The hummus was enjoyable, and had a thicker consistency than I usually have, but it was pretty good. 3. Pickled and Stuffed Chard - This was a fun twist on dolmades, and I enjoyed this one. I considered this my salad/vegetable intake for the day :) 4. Braised Rabbit - This was the only disappointment of the whole evening. The leg was flavorful, but it was sooo dry, and I regret not getting the pork. The table next to us got the port, and I was jealous. 5. (Desert )Olive Oil Cake - I was full at this point, but ordered it anyway. It was awesome. You've come this far, order it and thank me later. I really hope the folks of Duluth appreciate this gem in your city, and please support this restaurant.

The mojito was good as well, but as you can see in the pic, could have used a little more coconut cream.. Started with the stuffed tater tots, which were ok, but made me wish I got the Ahi tuna crisps.. She ordered the Hellapeno burger medium rare, which was medium and again... was ok. I ordered the Short Rib burger which is supposed to be rib meat, brisket, and burger - also at medium rare. Mine was cooked perfect, but had zero rib/brisket flavor and was quite thin for that kind of burger. Pretty disappointing considering the description. There are enough things on the menu that would make me stop in again and try something else, was just hoping it would be better.
