Baristas, although shockingly young, appear to have had great training: espresso drinks are all properly drawn. (Source: coffee snob) Pastries and light bites have never disappointed.

I hate having to give 2 stars, but I just did not have a great experience. I was in town for work…read moreand stopped here for dinner. I was seated at a high top in the bar area. It took probably 10 minutes for anyone to greet me. There were servers walking past me and I was so confused why no one said hi, or we will be right with you. Nothing. There was a couple of women at a table near me that must have been employees, because the servers kept going over there at chatting. I ordered the salmon with au gratin potato's and Brussel sprouts. The salmon was cooked nicely, but everything was so extremely salty that it made it difficult to enjoy. I tried scraping off as much of sauce on the salmon so I could finish it. Overall, I was really disappointed and won't be back.

I chose the tenderloin medallions stuffed with onions and mushrooms and wrapped in bacon. For sides, I had the Caesar salad, green beans, and mashed potatoes. I wish I would have had one more medallion for the cost of the meal but it was quite tasty. Husband had panko shrimp which was also quite good. Entrees come with a hot-out-of-the-oven popover. Yummm. Service was excellent. It would be great if they could create more of a dinner atmosphere. The lighting is like being in a conference room.

For us, it was busy but the service was fast and very friendly. The beer selection focuses on microbrewery's, which I prefer. I selected a German blonde beer from Bemidji. For my meal I did the walleye sandwich. It was breaded & deep fried walleye on a hoagie bun with tomato's, lettuce, red onions and tartar sauce. It was big and it hit the spot! My SO had the walleye filet and shrimp bisque. She said the bisque was the star of the show. The view over the lake makes this a special place. The loud noise from other tables detracts somewhat from that experience.

The crust was thin and crispy. I can only imagine how good it would be fresh at restaurant instead of to go. The breadsticks were thick and fresh. We did order Alfredo sauce and got pizza sauce instead but it was still very good. I will definitely come again when we're in town for lacrosse.

The menu has a solid balance of sushi and sashimi alongside cooked kitchen dishes, all at very reasonable prices for the quality and variety. The staff is consistently welcoming and friendly, which makes dining here feel relaxed and comfortable whether you're stopping in for a quick meal or sitting down for something more leisurely. The chicken katsu deserves a special shoutout. It's a generous portion, perfectly crispy, and genuinely delicious. One of my favorite things is how much my young son loves coming here. He enjoys ordering a variety of sashimi, served one piece per order. It would be nice if it were two pieces per order, but the quality makes up for it. They even offer uni, which is a rare and much-appreciated treat, especially in this part of Minnesota. If you're craving sushi or Japanese food on the Iron Range, Fuji is absolutely worth the visit. Highly recommended.
