Ambiance: This is located inside a building with other food and trinkets! Definitely worth checking everything out after you eat! These guys are located on the lower level! There is truly character in this basement level. If you know the "vibes" of Duluth, this definitely has that charm! When it's warm out, definitely worth taking the food to go and sitting out by superior! The service: polite and very quick to move through a very busy lunch line. Food: my boyfriend got the clubhouse toasted! That was the right move, definitely do that! I got the Cedars secret. The turkey is sooo flavorful!! I mean holy moly! It also comes on a pillowy soft naan bread! They do have gluten free option! I would highly recommend this place for a fresh bite!

Parking felt like a scavenger hunt at first, but after circling around, we finally spotted a free ramp nearby. The cocktails? Fantastic. The food? Even better. We shared crab cakes, popovers, and a hummus platter--zero regrets on any of it. I ordered the Seafood Trio with a side bowl of clam chowder, and everything hit the spot. All three of us walked out happy and very full. Our server was friendly and made the whole experience even better. I'd absolutely come back for another meal. Great food and great service.

Kade's professionalism, the quality of the dishes, the range of cocktails, and the wine list round out this small but enigmatic restaurant. Its view of Lake Superior, combined with the fog of those days, made it even more interesting. I've tried sea bass in many restaurants, but this well-prepared dish here truly exceeded all my expectations. I feel so good that I spent two nights there for dinner. Highly recommended.

I have never done that before, but this was inedible. It was replaced with a burger, which was fine. Not mind-blowing. Good fries, but unevenly seasoned. I was so excited to celebrate my birthday here and it was disappointing. My nephew had the mac & cheese and thought it needed more cheese sauce - but the hot dog he added to it was excellent. My mom's strawberry salad had no strawberries on it. When we asked the server, she said that it was a strawberry vinaigrette. When we double checked the menu, it looked like strawberries were one of the ingredients, and it was topped with a poppyseed vinaigrette. My dad had the white fish and was very happy with it. My sister had a pork chop and said it was good. Our server was really nice and gave no pushback on replacing the entrée.

As I…read moregot older, I wasn't able to make it up here as often from KC, but a friend of mine took annual trips to the BWCA. I convinced him to stop here on his way back to KC and bring me 3-4 pieces of fish each time. They freeze great, and would be a special treat any time I'd get them out. I was recently able to get back to the North Shore, and it was exactly how I remembered it. The staff were friendly and helpful as well. Inside is small, but packed with lots of goodies. I got a large piece of salmon and some trout as well. I froze them, used pieces multiple times this fall with charcuteries or with smoked salmon dip. I brought the smoked salmon dip to a party, and it was gone almost immediately. Awesome fish, must stop. If you can't stop, twist someone's arm you know that is headed this way to bring you some back.

I loved the prosciutto topped with Gorgonzola and fig - it's the best combination. Ian was our server he was awesome, thankfully we were able to get a table today, the last time we went on a whim they were slammed so I highly recommend you make reservations. Our reservation was at 4:30 around 5 they dimmed the lights - setting the vibes, I love that. Great experience!

I can't remember the last time I went to a restaurant and made so many (for lack of a better…read moreexpression) yummy noises. New Scenic Cafe was EXCEPTIONAL. The cafe is located alone the shore of Lake Superior. There is lots of parking onsite, so no worries there. The restaurant is as stunning as the view! It's, dare I say, very scenic! As for the food (I do dream of it!), I was obsessed with this dish that was essentially dates, cheese and honey -- insanely good. We also loved the seared duck with dumplings and "the bear" chocolate cake. The only thing we were a little underwhelmed with were the tuna tacos. They were good, but just couldn't compete with the other dishes, which were fantastic. Make sure to call to make a reservation ahead of time -- they are busy, busy!

First off, the food was superb. Like, even the WATER was delicious! We had the lobster roll…read more(amazing-better than we had in Boston!), burger (really good), tuna sashimi tacos (delicious), and burrata (very good). Also, the ambiance was lovely. Everything was presented beautifully. The prices are quite high and the menu is very Scandinavian. If you're not a seafood fan, the choices are limited. The service was the biggest challenge. We had a reservation for 6 at 7:45. When we arrived, the host told us the party before us was still at the table an hour after getting their bill. We wound up waiting 25 minutes to be seated. No concessions were offered for the wait. We ordered drinks (a soda and a lemonade) and it took another 20 minutes to get them. When the drinks arrived at 8:35, we ordered. It took almost 40 minutes for the food to arrive. Again - we ordered four sandwiches and two appetizers. Because we were seated so late, the restaurant was clearing out - I can't imagine how long the wait is when it's busy. Our server was an infrequent guest at our party. I might come back just to have that lobster roll again, but nothing else was so outstanding that it would be worth the trip.

They sat us all quickly and efficiently, food was fast and the service was great. The cheese curds are like crunchy cubes of heaven served with a side of ranch. I had the Reuben and I can say I'd absolutely order it again. There were tons of juicy pieces of their tender corned beef and tangy sauerkraut. The cheese was perfectly melty, and the sandwich itself wasn't overly sauced or greasy. My partner had a burger and it was cooked just as he ordered and well seasoned - he enjoyed it! Definitely more of an up-scale place but they have a beautiful view, picture 'vintage supper club' vibes. Booth and table seating is available. They also have a separate bar area, and you can peek in the window when you walk in to see them cooking pasta! Great place for a celebration or a nice meal.

I was kind of hoping for a better experience, but the interior was cozy, kind gave off a woody vibe, and there was a toy train, making it rounds near the ceiling.
