    The New Scenic Café is one of those places you could easily drive right past without realizing what…read moreyou're missing. From the road, it looks like a small North Shore cabin tucked alongside the highway, with a few trailers outside. Step inside, though, and you'll find what I genuinely think is one of the best restaurants in Minnesota. The food is phenomenal -- creative, beautifully presented, and easily approaching Michelin-level quality, but without any of the pretension or pricing you might expect. The menu is constantly changing, the ingredients and execution are outstanding, and somehow the whole experience still feels wonderfully humble and relaxed. Prices are also incredibly reasonable considering the quality of what comes out of the kitchen. I make a point of stopping here whenever I'm on the North Shore. It's only about 10 minutes north of Duluth, and if you're visiting the area and only have time for one really memorable meal, make it this one. An absolute North Shore gem.

The restaurant overlooks the lake, making for such a beautiful and relaxing setting. The ambiance is absolutely charming, and I loved the serveware, it gave the whole meal a lovely high tea feel. The food was on the pricey side, but every single thing we ordered was absolutely delicious. They also had a display of freshly baked goods at the front, so we picked up a few treats to take on the road. Those were just as amazing as our meal! The staff was incredibly welcoming and sweet, and I loved all the thoughtful little touches throughout the restaurant. One of my favorites was the guestbook they invite visitors to sign before leaving. It's details like that that make a place feel extra special. I would absolutely recommend stopping here if you're driving the North Shore. Beautiful views, delicious food, and such a warm, memorable experience.

    You want a romantic meal with delicious food in Duluth? Look no further, but plan ahead! The food…read moreis amazing and the service is fantastic, but you've got to get a reservation (even last minute ones pop up!) My favorite in Duluth, hands down.

    This was one of the few places we made a reservation for on our trip to Duluth. It's a small place…read moreand it's very popular, so that's why. We had to wait a little for our reservation but it's fine. You can't make people get up and leave. We enjoyed watching the two guys in the kitchen work and I perused the gelato case. They brought us to a nice two top on the covered part of the outside of the restaurant. Spectacular views of the lake. Service was prompt. I had wine and Jeff had a cocktail. The cocktail menu did not appeal to me; my wine was fantastic. Of course I had to start with the meatballs. They were so good. For dinner I had the salmon fresca- a pasta dish, which is not my typical dish (i usually get beef!) but it sounded so good. I was very pleased with it and my husband loves fish so he was thrilled and shared with me. He also ordered the mahi mahi which comes over risotto and loved it. We were grateful for the complimentary bread and dipping sauce. Yum! They told us their desserts were homemade so we shared the cheesecake. It was better than I expected! I'm not a cheesecake fan, but I had a couple bites! What a wonderful date night for us. Thank you! We took our leftovers to go. I want more of those meatballs! Be sure to order them.

    Visited Deepwater Grill at about 7:30 on a Friday evening. We waited about 5 minutes to be seated,…read morebut then waited a good 15 minutes before our server arrived to take drink orders. We came specifically for the Friday night Fish Fry, which comes with one side, and they were out of two of them (our first and second choices, unfortunately). I ended up ordering Beer Battered Fish with Rice Pilaf, and the other two at the table ordered Deep Fried Fish with Waffle Fries. It was 8:17 before our order came out - a full 45 minutes after we arrived. The Rice Pilaf was barely warm and flavorless. I only ate one bite of it (1/10) but the fish was excellent (9/10). The fish portion was large - I could only eat half, and took the other half of the fish to go. I left the rice. I asked about dessert to go, and neither of the cheesecakes on the menu were available, but the server said they had some chocolate peanut butter cheesecake, which wasn't listed anywhere. I got that and had a few bites before putting it in the fridge - it was ok, but nothing special (5/10). I'm not sure I'll even finish it, and that's saying something because cheesecake is my favorite dessert. Ambiance was dark and kind of dingy. Things needed to be dusted and wiped down. It felt like there was a sticky layer of grease on them (chairs, columns, table edges, etc.). Would probably go back and give them another shot, but would likely try a weekday when it's not so busy and all menu items are available. Overall 6/10

    Second visit to Deep Water Grill. Actually last time we went to The Alley…read more We both had the whitefish sandwich one breaded and one Cajun grilled. Both were really well done. I could have used a bit more spice on my Cajun grilled. Very good portions. Had a side salad that was also well done. Generous amount of waffle fries. Nice wine for a house Chardonnay. They had Yeungling on tap. Sat in the bar area. Service from the bar and it really good. No problems! Nice stop when in Ashland

    Loved this unique German supper club with views of the lake. We had the dinner special meatballs,…read moreschnitzel with homemade gravy. The rolls homemade starved hot on a beautiful pewter plate. Bar had great selection of beers and wine. Robust dessert menu. Great place for an anniversary or special occasion.

    This is our third trip to Garmish USA resort and by far the worst experience we've ever had. We…read morehad a 5:15 reservation and we were seated promptly but then sat for at least 15 minutes before any waiter or waitress came to acknowledge us. We watched two other tables be seated after us and order and get their drinks before anyone had even stopped by or acknowledged us. While we were waiting my wife went to the restroom and while washing her hands she noticed that there were too large containers of hand soap, both were completely empty. This was a bit alarming considering every server seemed to be female, but one. This made us feel like maybe they weren't properly washing their hands but we don't know that for sure so I'll go on. The waitress finally came to our table after 15 minutes or so and took our drink order along with our food order as we had plenty of time to decide. I ordered Pilsner on tap to drink, only to have her come back 10-minutes later and me that they were out. Okay no biggie, I'll get something else. Our food finally arrived and my wife had ordered a loaded baked potato without sour cream. We immediately noticed her baked potato was completely smothered with sour cream. In addition, she found a nice strand of hair in her food. Lovely.... We both had the Jagerschnitzel as both of us had had it several times before. The Jagerschnitzel did not taste right and my wife said her water tasted like it came out of a hose. Our inattentive waitress (brown hair with glasses BTW) was by far the worst server we've ever had here. All other tables seemed to be served before us, checked on regularly, and have much better wait staff than we had. Upon asking for our bill we assumed she would at least notice the big glob of sour cream on the plate that my wife had to scrape off and realize that she had forgot to tell them not to include it, but no. We paid our bill and ran for the door. As far as the ambiance goes, the restaurant is really nice but we had flies around us as we were trying to eat our meal. Not exactly the upscale experience you would hope for. Based on our other two visits I would say this is not typical but I feel we need to give this review because someone needs to know how terrible our experience was there today, 7/11/26.
