Boat Club Restaurant & Bar - More untouched calamari.

Whenever I visit Duluth, the Boat Club is on my agenda. The staff, the food, and the ambiance are…read moreall well worth the experience. The view of the lake as you enter the main dining room is spectacular. If you are fortunate enough to visit on a good-weather day during the summer, the patio experience cannot be beat. Every time I have visited, the staff have been genuinely gracious and caring. Add a unique and generous drink menu on top of a delicious selection of meal options what more could you ask for? Many of the menu items are gluten-free or gluten-free on request. As with most of their menus, brunch options are unique and worth the visit. Lake Superior Hash is a unique and tasty recommendation. I cannot say much about most of the dinner menu, because I ALWAYS order the ribeye, though I have added the scallops on occasion. The quality and preparation of the ribeye are well above most restaurant standards. Don't miss it! I also enjoy just stopping in for a drink. I have struck up conversations at the bar with perfect strangers, while enjoying one of the signature cocktails (don't miss the Minnesota Old Fashioned). Be sure to make a reservation. This is the one mistake you can make at the Boat Club. With a restaurant of this quality, you cannot assume there will be an open table for a walk-up.

Table of 11 for a wedding no one came to check on us for meals, nor water fills…read more 4 of us would have sent our meals back. 2 had fish w/risotto- risotto crunchy and both fish overcooked. 2 entree salads were drowned in dressing. Since we were a group of 11, I presume they couldn't care less as gratuity was auto added.

Great food, service, and prices!…read more I came on a Sunday night at 5:30p for dinner and there were ~10 other people inside. I've also been on a Friday night where it's packed and standing room only. I had a BLT with sweet potato fries. The BLT was huge and had ~5 pieces of bacon! It came on cranberry wild rice bread and I was given the option of Mayonnaise or Miracle Whip. Burgers and sandwiches come with chips or you can add fries for $1.50, sweet potato fries for $2.50, Cole slaw for $0.75, or onion rings for $3.0 extra. The sweet potato fries have vanilla seasoning and were nice and crispy! My group had burgers that were substantial and well-cooked. They had regular fries on the side that were fresh cut and crispy. The portions were so big that next time, I'd split an entree. Burgers and sandwiches were ~$10, appetizers were $3-$12, sodas were $2, and beers varied by tap but I believe craft beers were $6. They had local taps including the Castle Danger Cream Ale - yum! The location is charming and kitchy. They're along a snowmobile trail, have plenty of parking, and have clean bathrooms. Their bar seats 15-20 and they have an additional ~10 tables in a dining area. It's not fancy so come as you are. They have a stage area and sometimes have live music. They also have a pool table and a digital tunes juke box so you can pay to pick the tunes. It's really great and worth stopping in for a beer and burger!

Very friendly service and excellent prime rib. Elmwood has a neighborhood feel in Minnesota's…read morenorth woods.

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.
