First of all there was a nice large selection of options, some breakfast items & some lunch options with some unique options such as Scottish Eggs ( Hard boiled egg wrapped in sausage & deep fried ). Everything was hot and very good while the crew did a nice job of refilling the containers when they were empty or getting low. We absolutely will come back next time we are in the area.

The atmosphere is very 'northern MN', fireplace, stone, log cabin walls,... very cozy. I chose the soup and salad lunch special. Soup was chicken and dumpling. It was robust and service nice and hot with oyster crackers. Bit salty though. The garden salad was good with fresh tomatoes and cucumbers (onions as well but a bit too many of those). Croutons were soft and would be much better if they were crispy. There were lots of sandwich choices and husband had the Club which was good and served with kettle chips. Nice lunch. Service was excellent. Beautiful views of the course from the clubhouse.

A steak place in the lower level and a very large breakfast and lunch area on the main, you won't have any trouble getting a table. Cool log cabin type wood with lots of cool Northwoods decor. The service is very quick and efficient mainly due to the fact that they have plenty of servers. Kind of a rarity these days. The breakfasts are simple but huge and very tasty. And don't forget about the coffee. Much to choose from and a great value. And lots of made from scratch items.

I bought a loaf to take home. Cute vibe with books around the restaurant that you can "adopt for a small fee." Service was friendly. They have a large coffee, drink, and mocktails section.

That's outright discrimination and hate!! I will never go there again. The same people who preach inclusiveness even having men in women sports so nobody is excluded has a sign that is 100% non inclusive to a group of law enforcement officers. Unbelievable how much of a double standard that is to preach love on one sign and hate and exclusion on the other sign.

The decor and ambiance is so inviting. The gentleman who handed me my food was very kind. I ordered the steak oscar which came with asparagus and mashed potatoes. The steak was perfect medium rare and the shrimp were perfectly cooked. I also ordered the French onion soup which wasn't the best decision, as French onion soup is best consumed right out of the oven and not to go. But the flavor was great. I'll be back next time I'm in town!

I had an iced latte and the coffee flavor just punched through the milk. SO good. Second the shop was very cute inside and super nice counter staff. Plus the outside seating in a very woodsy little spot, complete with a creek bed nearby, was delightfully northern Minnesota! Highly recommend!

There is no way to say this and not sound petty…read more I love specialty coffee. I love the taste, I love the smell, I love the experience. And for me, part of the experience is slowing down to enjoy the moment. No small part of that enjoyment comes from drinking my coffee in a proper vessel. It could be a ceramic coffee cup, or a bowl, or a heavy glass, or a demitasse cup on a saucer. Different shops can have their own style, but if you refuse to serve a well crafted drink in something other than paper, that's an issue for me. Especially when the proper cups are right there! I see them. And I get that washing dishes can be a pain in the neck, but coffee shops can charge what they charge for beans and water because they are providing an experience. Sorry. Thanks for hearing me out. Beyond that, this place is lovely. The people are friendly, which should not be a surprise in Minnesota. The cortado was good, but hard to fully appreciate or evaluate in its sad little paper cup. My family was happy with their drinks. And the outdoor space is simply magical. This is a tucked away little modern coffee oasis in a remote part of Minnesota and I'm very glad it exists and can provide me and others the energy boost needed after hours of nature walks in the area.

I wouldn't be writing a two-star review if this was like $75 per night, because you know, you get what you pay for. Even so though, in a popular place like Duluth, you'd think you'd take a little more pride in your accommodations.
