FIVE STARS FOR SURE - The location has free parking (which is rare in Duluth). The hostess was…read morepolite and greeted us with a smile and quickly sat us. The menu has a lot of variety with many items to choose from. The server was just top notch like took time to get order right, answer questions, come back and check on us and smile and super professional the whole time. My beverage was amazing and food was great, one of the people in our group said the homemade vegetable soup was the best soup they've ever had. To be honest the food was really good but the staff was just amazing. The hostess, server, even person who walking by answered a question and wasn't our server were all just beyond top notch. Like the service you'd get at a upper end steak house (but even better than that). I think the food is great, the servers are TOP NOTCH and for sure recommend. I'd give six stars if I could.

Stopped by Lake Ave for a late lunch today after poking around in the shops in the building…read more We got a seat out on the patio, which was small and cute. They also have a window into the kitchen, so you can see the chefs cooking! Our server was very sweet and attentive! It was their first day too!! Woohoo! I got the Rise of the Phoenix mocktail, which was so yummy! Perfect for a hot day! Had a good amount of vegetarian options, which is always lovely to see! I ended up getting the Wild Rice Hot Dish because it felt so quintessentially Minnesotan. I didn't end up loving it. I thought it needed more flavoring and spicing it up, but I know that that is NOT quintessentially Minnesotan. But my whole group thought it could have used a little something-something. BUT we also got the Mac and Kim-cheese and that was so good and flavorful! Such a fun combo! Would definitely get that dish again!

It's incredible to find a Vietnamese restaurant serving such delicious food in a small city like…read moreDuluth. Whether you are Vietnamese or not, you should definitely give this place a try--I'm certain you won't be disappointed. Be sure to try the Vietnamese coffee, too.

Really good food and good portions. I got some spicy pho, and it was really spicy. I also think…read morethat all the other things that our table had were very good. I think it might be a little bit expensive for what you get, but maybe Duluth is getting kind of pricey now. We were there in the middle of a blizzard, so parking was easy. The place was almost empty for the first hour we were there, and then as we were leaving it got really, really busy. In a normal service day, it might be a very busy place to go to.

We went to Duluth for a short visit. We were surprised how cheap the food is compared to other…read moreJapanese restaurants in US. Fried tempura and sauce is better than we thought. We like it.

When I give something a 1, you know something isn't right…read more Now, Japanese food is some of my favorite, especially Ramen. Ramen has a sweet, tender spot in my heart, and a bigger spot in my stomach, which is always eager to eat it. I've wanted to go to Zen House for a while, but haven't been able to since it's only open during lunch hours of the week, while I work (they are closed on weekends). So, today I got off early and had such excitement running through me, knowing that they would have Ramen at this particular restaurant. I also saw that, though the ramen looked basic, it was on the cheaper side. I wish I could review this place based off the food, but I can't. Not ever having been to this restaurant, I stroll inside the Holiday Center and notice the sign "seat yourself". Okay, I thought, I'll just sit. Now, as I walk in, I was not greeted by a single person (there were apparently two white male workers; note: this is a japanese restaurant but there were no asian people present, which confused me). I sat for a bit, while one of the white men talked to a woman.. so I guessed that I'd have to go up to the counter to order. I ask the guy behind the bar if I order with him.... He looks at me like I'm the stupidest person alive, makes a motion to whatever he's doing behind the counter, and says, "I can't do it, since I'm doing all this... OBVIOUSLY", yes the last part was yelled in a sarcastic, rude manner. I got up and walked out, without having tried the ramen. How I wish I would've tasted it, and invited all my friends, but alas never again. I encourage everyone to avoid this place. There is no need for rudeness in this world, especially for someone who was so eager to be a valued customer.

Delicious food with many GF options. They also have plenty of vegetarian and meat options too…read more My hippies breakfast was great and the gf bread was baked there and the best I have ever had. 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.

Fresh, locally sourced and delicious menu options, fast and hospitable service!…read more We were worried that the wait time would be long but it was just long enough to enjoy the outdoor garden boxes and sun. Even though we are visiting Duluth during this crazy time of the wild fires, Duluth Grill made our trip worth it! They have a streamlined process for getting seated, the staff are welcoming and knowledgeable about the menu and local area. My family ordered the usual staples: biscuits and gravy, pancakes and sausage, and bacon/eggs/sausage. All were hearty portions and perfectly prepped. I tried the "Triple B" which turns out to be a Midwest version of Bibimbop. Made with manoomin (wild rice), beef/pork mix, kimchi, marinated kale- probably my fave of the dish. The combo is a deliciously perfect power meal to start any day and weekend right! I was pleasantly surprised and impressed by the care they take in procuring local ingredients- even their kale and some herbs are from their own lil garden. I highly recommend the Duluth Grill, there's something for everyone! We will definitely stop by on our next trip out to Duluth.

My son and I were visiting Duluth this past weekend and had breakfast at Duluth Grill, Sunday,…read more5/31. We had checked reviews and saw there were some reviews indicating this restaurant was not as good as it used to be. We decided to see for ourselves as the menu, other positive reviews sounded like it was an incredibly good place to go. It is. It was. It was busy, being a Sunday morning especially, but the staff was handling it all well from our perspective . I used to manage restaurants a long time ago and was impressed with the flow. Our waitress, Natalie, was delightful, knew the menu well to describe and answer questions, and we were not wanting for anything. She checked on us, always grinning and managing the iace well. I had the banana bread pancakes. A perfect choice ! They came and looked like a picture stacked up and flowing down with Carmel, maple bourbon syrup, marzcapone cream and nuts. So delicious. I took half home and enjoyed the rest later. Heated up perfectly with a 20 second zap in micro. My son had the corn beef hash skillet and said his was just as good as mine. We both agreed that we had no idea why reviews were negative, especially going on a busy morning. We will be going back every time we visit. I recommend you do too.

I stopped here on the search for more cheeses for my collection. The selection isn't huge but I did…read morefind some new ones. The section could use more care as there were many out of date cheeses, and one very moldy one right in front; I actually bought one a month past sell-by by choice, as I really wanted the cheese. I saw some cheeses dated as far back as February this year (it's the end of June). The market otherwise looked clean and maintained.

I found some coconut yogurt and THC beverages to take on our hike. Wish there was one in central WI. Friendly staff and service. It's not a huge market but it's got a large bulk food section where you can get freshly ground nut butters! Highly recommend it for people looking for healthy and organic foods.

The Pros: Firstly, the food was great, classic and well…read moreseasoned, non bland food. The food was prepared and delivered quickly and the staff kept our cups filled without any of us needing to wave them down. Secondly, the building and tables, dinnerware and glasses were all very clean. The dishes had an "antique" feel to them, not just the boring white ceramic dishes as most restaurants have. Thirdly, the wait staff, hostess, and all employees were very friendly yet professional. They all knew their jobs well and strived to make everyone's experience better. They also understood when one of the patrons had stated they had a shellfish allergy and didn't need any other explanation. Fourth, the food was priced very fair with very large portions. I left with almost another meal worth after eating more than my stomach could stretch. Time for the cons: When looking on Google for "restaurants near me" it didn't pop up, I'm not sure why either because they do have a website. Also, I wasn't 100% sure they were open initially, there was cars in the parking lot, but the open sign was pretty small, and easily hidden behind parked cars. Other then these 2 negatives, we enjoyed our experience, thoroughly enjoyed the food (the egg drop soup was better then anywhere I've tried it before) and enjoyed the atmosphere. I will be going here again and highly recommend this establishment to others.
