Such a lovely view. Excellent food. Attentive service. What more could one want? We were out hiking all day chasing spring waterfalls and quite frankly there is not a lot open for dinner this time of year. We were a little worried we were underdressed for this restaurant but no one batted an eye. The wait staff was super helpful picking out a beverage. the food choice was easy- after a long day hiking I just needed veggies and protein, and that delivered! The curried chickpeas with vegetables over rice was exactly what I needed. Fresh, flavorful. I could not have asked for more. love this place!

What a gem on the North Shore! I've been a few times now during my stays in Tofte, and this is such a great close and delicious spot near Tofte and Lutsen. The views, no matter the season, from inside or outside are stunning. You're instantly put at ease. I've had everything from fancy walleye to a simple burger, and I love that they can be whatever you're feeling. Near the bar downstairs is very casual, but in the dining area and upstairs feels elevated. We've had great service here! This is one of the few nicer options in the area - great for a fish-forward dinner though they have much more on the menu!

Had reservations for 3 and got seated right away. All staff were friendly. Fine dining with a local flare and familiarity. Perfectly lit with candescent lighting. Sadly, the duck special was sold out! All the reason for reservation too! We started with the walleye cakes that were so moist but enough crunch on the outside. Asked for hot sauce and they had the real Sriracha! I had the grilled chicken & pomegranate cranberry spinach salad. It was yummy but I wish they added feta and it would have been PERFECT. My daughter had grilled chicken Alfredo which was yummy creamy. My husband had the wagyu steak PERFECTLY cooked. Finished with a turtle sundae that just topped our night.

Overall, all of the food we had was delicious. Entree are really big and hearty which was unexpected. From the size of the meat to the portions of sides, you won't leave hungry. Our favorite of the night was the Walleye Cakes - a must order! Took off a star for two reasons 1) the vegetables on the entree were cold. 2) We had arguably the worst seat in the restaurant, which altered the experience a bit. It was in the back corner about as close to the kitchen as possible. With a different table this might be 5 stars, was just my experience but something to note!

Ok my expectations were high for this place judging by the website etc I thought I would be under dressed for this place I was wrong about that The mix was locals and tourists it seemed like everyone knows the bartender sort of thing He was really attentive and first but became busy when he started taking orders from the bar area tables Now about the food .....I ordered the blackened walleye sandwich adding onions and American cheese The walleye was NOT blackened but deep fried It was ok but to be honest lacked flavor I also had the famous in house bbq chips didn't taste any bbq flavor I wouldn't have made any comments until I looked at my check and saw that I paid $1.00 for a piece of cheese The duck soup was pretty good One beer walleye sandwich with chips and soup $40 including a tip

The view of Lake Superior

The food was superb, the view was stunning and Casey was one of the best servers we have ever had anywhere. We work in the travel industry and own a tour company and she is a true asset to this restaurant. Wonderful, accurate, prompt and friendly. 10/10

My daughter's mocktail was much too tart for her but beautiful. My maple glazed salmon, paired wine, and flourless cake was excellent. Our service was also excellent. My daughter loved her burger and turtle sundae were excellent but the chips were homemade with a lot of flavoring. Would be 5 stars if they could offer bland kids drinks and bland chips. Five stars from an adult perspective.

The view from my table!

This place was a fun place! Bartenders and overall service was great and friendly. Food portions…read morewere good and on point. Great place to hit after a day out on the slopes.

Moguls Tap Room is a great option post-ski, post-hike, or just during your resort stay. The food is…read morerather good compared to the competition (and exceeded by expectations given it's a "resort restaurant"). The service is friendly and efficient. I recommend this above the other options in the area for sure and I commend the owners for keeping quality and experience high while effectively having guests be "captive". FOOD: I've had the burger and their salad. The burger was simple yet very much met my desires. It had a well chosen bun, good tasting patty, and perfectly crispy bacon. Truly simple yet perfect. The salad was beyond the normal level of restaurant salads. The protein on it (chicken) was flavorful and not a skimpy portion. This was an enjoyable salad (not a status earned lightly). I really do appreciate the ownership here for their food choice and the chefs for their execution of it. SERVICE: friendly, efficient. Nothing too much to say here. AMBIANCE: casual yet not too informal. Perfect for anything (friends, vacation vibes, or a nice date night)! I do highly recommend this option and will be back when I'm next in the area.

We were touring the North Shore before my son's wedding and stopped in to Gun Flint Tavern in Grand…read moreMarais.The experience overall was a really enjoyable one. Our entire party of 7 ordered the Tavern Burger with garlic aioli and a side of their homemade kettle chips, and it did not disappoint. The burger was juicy and flavorful, and the garlic aioli added just the right kick without overpowering everything. Despite some medium wells,well done or still mooing ,the cooks got it right.The kettle chips were crisp, well-seasoned, and tasted fresh.It was definitely a step above your typical side.The waitress boasted about them not having fryers.It thought this was cool. They did lose a star for a filthy high chair and not having a table big enough for a party of 8. One of the highlights was the setting. From our table, we had a clear view of Lake Superior, which made the whole meal feel a little more special. It's hard to beat good food paired with that kind of scenery. The service here was great. Our waitress was kind, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed without being overbearing. It was a relaxed, satisfying meal in a beautiful spot. Definitely worth a stop if you're in Grand Marais.We all agreed this is one of the best burgers we have eaten in a while.

This is THE place to go and hang out in Grand Marais. I think they call the top level the 'Raven's…read moreNest.' Music every night, a friendly staff, and great beer and cocktails.
