Stopped mid afternoon for a late lunch on Lake Superior. This is a fairly popular resort with this stand alone restaurant/bar. 4 staff, 3 tables with 8 patrons and service was soooooo slow. Not sure why my cup of soup took 20 minutes to come, but when it did, it was the wrong soup. She left the wrong one at the table (smoky chicken wild rice) and said the kitchen was just heating up the corn chowder I ordered and it would be out on a minute. Three minutes later, the "corn chowder" was brought out. It was not hot and did not taste good. When the wait staff came out again, I asked her to take it because it wasn't good and her reply was "I'll see if the kitchen forgot something ". Wait....what?? I also ordered the forest mushroom flatbread. It looked pretty but this is a combination that should not exist. The flatbread was cut and then two fried eggs and arugula were place on top so you could not take a bite without losing the egg and salad. Also...when you say it is a "forest mushroom" flatbread, it should actually have wild mushrooms or just call it "Mushroom Flatbread ". On a positive note, the smoky chicken wild rice soup was delicious and the manager stopped by with her apology and a desert on the house. Hopefully I was just here on an off day read more

We stopped here for lunch on our way to Lutsen. We had the place to ourselves on a Monday in April. Our food was excellent! I loved the Portabella burger and my kids thought the burgers and fries were great! It's a little spendy - burgers are $18. There is free parking outside and nice view of Lake Superior! It's worth a stop here on your way up north! read more

Had a mostly good dinner here tonight. The cocktails were well done and the house salad was tasty, although a few more vegetables would have been nice. My husband had the walleye which was nice and light. I had the Swedish meatballs and they were rock hard, almost difficult to cut into, way too dense, and dry. The mashed potatoes were very good. Service was fine, but we felt a little rushed. read more

Disappointed with our visit to Ledge Rock Grille. Some of the food came out cold, and overall the dishes lacked flavor. The restaurant itself felt dirty and very dated--not what you'd expect at this price point. read more

Great spot on the North Shore! Awesome use of both their view of Lake Superior as well as locally sourced ingredients. Cocktail menu uses many spirits from a small distillery in Duluth. We were 4 in total and had no issues getting seated (most diners where staying at the resort - but you don't need to be a guest to dine here). We started with the truffle fries. They where perfectly seasoned (not over powering with the truffle oil). Some of the best I have had. Also, the wait staff brought 4 different ramekins of ketchup (usually you get one or two in the order). Kudos to the staff for the look ahead. Next came the salads. One at our table had the kale salad and the other had the house salad (with garlic dressing), while I had the apple and fennel salad. We understood from the staff they they make all their dressings in house. The house salad (sorry no pic) with the garlic dressing was the hit at the table. Next came our mains. It just would not be a Minnesota dining experience without having walleye on the menu. But we loved their take on the side of wild rice. Instead of the usual preparation of it they added a step and fried it (think Asian fried rice). Giving the rice an nice extra bit of crispness. To top it off we shared the S'more cake and the deconstructed raspberry cheesecake. Both were excellent, but the S'more was the real winner for the table (even the non-chocolate guy liked it). Highly suggest stopping at this place for dinner when you are on the North Shore. read more

Wow wow wow! Can't believe we haven't dined here before considering we head north quite often. (Also after seeing this location we definitely want to stay here, it's beautiful and right on the water) The food was fantastic! The chicken wild rice soup checked all the boxes in my book. Thick creamy and flavorful. I also ordered the salmon and y'all when I say melt in your mouth flavor punch I mean it. And salmon was perfectly cooked with a seared crunch that will send you into a tizzy! Everyone at the table wanted a bite of my food. *chefs kiss* As for service - wah wah. I will say our waitress was also training someone in BUT with that being said you'd think they would've been a little more attentive. Kids ordered pasta and asked for Parmesan but by the time they brought it their meal was half way gone. We also asked for more bread and that didn't happen. She didn't check on us that often. We wanted to order dessert but she didn't ask or stay long enough for us to say something and just brought us the check. Felt like she just gave us the boot. But the food was great and made up for it. read more

Perfectly cooked steak. Great flavor! And don't forget the amazing desserts!! Everything was amazing, including the view.

Stopped here on the drive back from Two Harbors, great service and nice cozy atmosphere with a beautiful view. I ordered a salad and added chicken woth ranch and was tasty. The deviled eggs were delicious, probably vest I ever had. My friend really enjoyed the soup of the day which was Walleye Chowder and she also had the steak sandwich. She said both were great and soup was so good she'd come back for that alone! read more

Service with our server Mina was fantastic and food was amazing. Three different entrees ordered and everyone was impressed. We visit high end restaurants in the twin cities. We did not expect how good this place would be for the price, location and setting. We would come back here often if this were a local restaurant at home. Very impressed. You guys are doing so many things right. read more

Ordered one pasta gluten free, got both orders as gluten free. Paid $28 for pasta dish with salmon that had very little salmon. like to go out to eat so I can have non gluten free since we have to have it at home for my husband. To get both dishes gluten free was disappointing. Plates were not cleared before we got our bill. Very poor service and even worse food - avoid this restaurant. We're locals and won't be going back. Not for locals anymore too expensive with very little, poor food! read more

My wife and I ate her in order to celebrate her birthday. She had their Surf & Turf dish and I had Chicken Milanese. Both of our orders were prepared to perfection and the waitress was very friendly and pleasant in her conversation. We topped off our meal with Vanilla Cheese Cake drizzled with chocolate! The meal couldn't have been better with a perfect view of their courtyard and Lake Superior. We highly recommend this restaurant and look forward to returning next year. read more

We have been to this place once before and it was great. This visit, not so much. We ordered an appetizer, two entrees and wine. We never received our appetizer and then our entrees arrived. My partners entrees was suppose to have shrimp added and did not have the shrimp. The waiter said he would get the shrimp. He came back with 3 shrimp on a skewer. 3 shrimp for a pasta entree, for $ 8. Towards the end of our meal, the waiter did offer a comp dessert for the missing appetizer. But the whole experience was very unpleasant. Will probably not return to this restaurant. read more

We were thrilled to find Ledge Rock Grille during a quick trip up north. We had a wonderful dinner (walleye and a wile rice stir fry with grilled shrimp). Both entrees were prepared perfectly, and the rice bowl was particularly creative and absolutely delicious. Service was friendly and fast and the space is the great combo of Up North cozy with just enough fancy to make the night out special. We will be back every time we go up the shore. read more

We had high hopes as the food had been good in the past. This time however, the wild rice salad was a disappointment: the rice was soft and gummy, the vegetables were oily, and the 3 shrimp were $8. However the service was friendly and accommodating. the portions were huge, and the view of the lake was great. Not sure we'll go back there. read more

We stayed at Larsmont Cottages and ate our first lunch here- the food was great! Fried cheese curds, Caesar salad, walleye rueben and soup of the day were all delightful, as were our cocktails (WOW that Bloody Mary was excessive and so fun). Our server even brought us out a little raspberry beer to sample, just for fun. We sat outside to be safe (my second vaccine was less than a week ago so just want to be safe until after two weeks), and the heat lamps were wonderful, as it was nippy out. Our server did the mask-under-the-nose thing but was otherwise very nice. read more

Every dish received a 10/10 for taste and presentation, and the price was very reasonable. They even threw in a free dessert for us. Staff and ambiance were great. We were seated on the patio with live music outside. Hoping to go back again! read more

Once upon a time, "fine dining" in Two Harbors meant a visit to Dairy Queen. These days, with a smattering of posh resorts for the 'visit Lake Superior' and 'get away for a night Duluthian' crowds, dining has been elevated to an entirely new level. The Ledge Rock Grill is the house restaurant for the Larsmont Cottages, a 40 acre enclave on the shores of Lake Superior, "inspired by a Scandinavian fishing village". The Ledge is open for lunch and dinner seven days, as well as breakfast on the weekends, and is open to the public at all times (in other words, you do not have to be a guest of the cottages to partake). Serving "modern American", chef Todd Torricer, who has Hawaiian roots, also offers monthly special menus, and the August theme features "inspired by the sea". Minnesota lead Burger Reporter Kawikamedia took a couple nights off from burgers, to check out a few menu items at the Ledge. Having lived in Hawaii, his intention was to check out the Huli Huli chicken, but alas, it was not offered the night of his first visit. He started with the smoked shrimp appetizer with a dried cherry balsamic, and then went with the Kobe flatiron, served with parsnip mashed and asparagus, a bargain at $31. His second visit was more successful, and described the seared Ahi, from the special August menu, as "out of this world". The plate was Fresh Pacific Ahi Tuna pan seared and paired with avocado puree, sushi rice tater tots and finished off with a wasabi-soy butter sauce. The Huli Huli chicken was very good, (if you don't know Huli Huli, it is a traditional Hawaiian barbecued chicken, with a sauce made from soy sauce and ketchup, sweeting with brown sugar and a bit of sherry. He didn't care for the side mash that night, which he described as "must have been doused in liquid smoke." Kawikamedia highly recommends the Ledge, despite the fact there is no burger on the dinner menu! read more

My fiance and I spent the afternoon bicycling the 15-mile Gitchi Gami Trail from Beaver Bay to Gooseberry Falls Campground (and then I turned around and rode back to get the car!), so we were primed for a decent dinner on our way back to our hotel in Duluth. Pulling up Yelp we found one of the few higher-rated restaurants on the southern North Shore and decided to check it out as my sweetie was about to waste away. The Grille is part of Larsmont Cottages on Lake Superior, a number of attractive, stand-alone buildings just feet from the shore. The Grille is in the Registration building as you drive in, with a small parking lot alongside. In some ways, the restaurant feels like a dining hall for an upscale camp, in that it is a big, open room with big windows with a limited view of the lakeshore about 200 feet away. The furniture is comfortable but certainly not elegant. The air conditioner was blowing hard on a cool (55F day) day, so we had to keep our coats on while we drank our first glass of Aix-de-Provence rose (speaking of which, we got $11 off this $24 bottle of wine due to a Yelp check-in offer -- sssweeet!!!) The S.O. was about to faint by now, so we ordered a quick-to-arrive app of Asian Pot Stickers which were tasted fine but did not come with a dipping sauce. We both ordered the crunchy walleye as our entree (sorry, this laptop doesn't facilitate French language acute e's). By now my lovely to-be-wife started to feel full, leaving me to scarf up the rest of her plate (after all, I did bike twice as far as her). With a bottle of wine, an app and substantial dinner in our tummies, we decided to forego the dessert and get back to the hotel. I left a large tip to help our waitress, who had just graduated from St. Scholastica with a associates degree and was on her way to Oregon to obtain a targeted ultrasound tech degree. She was a gem. All in all, a delightful meal (outside the cool indoor temp) that met our requirements. Note that Google Maps got a little confused with directions Route 61. read more

Had a fantastic meal! Great service, I had the tenderloin, the other guests had Parmesan crusted walleye, and Swedish meatballs. Everyone was thrilled with the quality of the meal. We sat fireside in a lively dining room overlooking Lake Superior. If you get the chance, stay here and have dinner! read more

We on the road and trying get back to our room and decided to order for pick up. Finally got into the hotel room hungry and ready to eat, well food was not good at all. I had the chicken milanese and I can get better food at a gas station than that. My wife had the Swedish meatballs and that was raw. $90.00 it's a lot of money to be spending on food like that. I wouldn't recommend this restaurant to anyone. I understand were all going through with Covid, but you gotta watch your staff and make sure they do a good job. read more

This is a restaurant that is part of a resort, where you feel like it is sort of a sideline to their main concern. In fact when we arrived at 1:30 on a Sunday afternoon there was not a soul in the place. The food and service turned out to be great! Our group had the Walleye, Chicken wrap, and burger. All were very good. And we had a decent view of the lake. read more

4 stars for solid brunch options, no wait, great service, and a beautiful ambiance! We actually wanted to go to New Scenic Cafe for brunch on a Sunday morning, but the wait was too long and the breakfast options were disappointedly not that appetizing to me, so we drove 10 minutes on the Scenic Drive to Ledge Rock Grille and do not regret it at all! We were seated immediately, and chose to sit outdoors because the weather was great, and we had a great view of an idyllic scene of kids/families playing on the lawn. We ordered the Walleye Cake Sandwich (a crab cake in looks and texture). I really enjoyed the light and healthy feel of it. Topped with a little a little salsa, and sandwiched between 2 lightly grilled focaccia slices - it was a very tasty option. Plus it came with sweet potato fries that were perfectly crispy and flavored. My boyfriend got the Avocado,Bacon, and Blue Cheese Burger and enjoyed how light and tasty it was as well. Definitely not too greasy/heavy for the first meal of the day. Also, the slices of fresh avocados brought it all together very nicely. Came with a side order of sweet potato fries as well! Lastly, we got to the s'more cake for dessert - it came in a skillet, with a hot layer of graham cracker on the button, topped with a warm chocolate brownie layer, a cold layer of chocolate ganache, and an ooey-gooey fluffy layer of marshmallow on top. It was super decadent and yummy, but depending on your sweet-level tolerance, can be a little too sweet. This is definitely something you share because it can be overly rich and overwhelming otherwise. Overall, a wonderfully chill brunch and a super solid alternative to the New Scenic Cafe if you're looking for a more peaceful vibe. After we finished eating, we sat on the outside patio area enjoying the scene for quite a while, before exploring the lakefront areas that the Larsmont Cottages had. read more

If you are looking for a location for a nice dinner on the North Shore, you won't go wrong here. The dining room is very open, but still has an up-scale feel to it. I was disappointed that they didn't have the pumpkin ravioli, but my steak was well prepared and very tender. The host and servers were terrific. Very friendly, helpful and quick. Our desserts were both very tasty, and they took good care of us on our special occasion. read more

Ledge Rock Grill is actually a restaurant in this north woods resort. The dining space has a good view of Lake Superior and the kitchen is in full open view of the dining guests. Since my plane was delayed by quite some time, I wasn't able to drive here for lunch until it was 2:30 PM. By that time the dining room was empty but thankfully they serve brunch every day until 4:00 PM. I ordered the walleye cake sandwich with sweet potato fries and their house salad. I was pretty shocked at how small my sandwich was since it was the size of a slider and a small handful of fries. I immediately regretted my decision and realized I should have gone for the breakfast version with eggs. The bright side however was the walleye cake itself was amazing. Very flavorful, moist, and just the perfect amount of binder to keep everything together. Because my dish was so small, I ended up ordering a side salad and that polished me off nicely. Topped off with some local beer, the bill was about $20.00 not including the tip. A bit pricey for lunch, but just be aware that the plates may be smaller around here. read more

My husband and I ate twice here during our stay at the Larsmont Cottages, and it felt like a big treat. First of all, staff was courteous to give us a table 2 minutes before closing. Everything we ordered was delicious, from an herbed half chicken, to poached eggs atop sweet potato hash, to a strong cup of coffee. Pro tip: If you're staying at the Cottages, be sure to check your welcome packet for deals on drinks at the bar! Prices are high for grad students like us, but worth it. read more

My husband and I came here while on vacation, to celebrate our anniversary. Our first impression was good- attractive dining room, friendly wait staff and nicely made martinis. Unfortunately, it was all downhill from there. Part of my grilled Caesar salad was made up of wilted lettuce leaves and it was overwhelmed by too much dressing. My husband's salad dressing was way too vinegary. I ordered the meatballs, which came out barely lukewarm. They were mediocre at best. The accompanying potatoes looked and tasted like bad diner breakfast potatoes. Needless to say, we didn't stay for dessert. read more

The walleye cakes are incredible. The scenery is pretty and has a homey feel. Overall, I'm pretty impressed with the cooking and convenience of a nice restaurant when staying at the cottages. If the chefs table was available we probably would have done it! read more

It was my month 8/3/13 to take Jodi out on our monthly date night. I searched on the internet for places outside of Duluth, and Ledge Rock Grille came up. The reviews looked outstanding, so I looked at their website and was very impressed. They have their menu online, showed pictures of their dining room, and I saw a link that caught my interest about eating at the Chef's Table. I had to call to get more information. When I called Ledge Rock Grille, the staff worker was very helpful while explaining the Chef's Table. It's a six-course meal that the chef puts together himself, and it's a personal way to show their skills that is different than what's on the menu. While at the Chef's Table, the chef interacts with you during the courses. The price to sit at the Chef's Table is $75.00 per person. For the experience, I thought it would be worth it. He mentioned that, since I'm in a wheelchair, the counter will be too high to sit at the Chef's Table. He said its close to five feet in height, but they would accommodate me with a table close to the Chef's Table. Before we hung up, he asked if there was anything else that they should know about, like food allergies or any other accommodations. That really impressed me a lot. They made me feel that our needs were a priority, and they valued us as a customer. When we arrived for our reservation, handicapped parking was good. The outside of the Lodge was clean and inviting. We brought my standard size wheelchair. The doorway was wide enough, but my bigger wheelchair may not fit. Inside the Lodge, it was clean and warm. The staff welcomed us with smiles and asked if we needed help. When we got to the restaurant area, we were greeted kindly by the hostess, but we weren't asked if we had a reservation. I thought they knew, because I made sure that the reservation had that I was in a wheelchair. But, I had to mention it to the hostess. Going into the dining area, the tables were close together. So, I would have had a problem getting through, but the staff moved the tables without hesitation. It may have been a problem, if the tables were full. The hostess sat us at a table near the Chef's Table. I did go up to the actual Chef's Table seating, and the counter was too high for a wheelchair. So, I am glad that they accommodated me. To be honest, I think I would rather sit at a table than the high bar stools, they would possibly get uncomfortable during a six-course meal. Our chef for our dinner was Chef Alex. He came over to our table, introduced himself, and explained his menu for the night. Then, our waitress came over and explained about having a wine pairing with each meal for an extra $19.00, which I did. Even though Jodi and I enjoyed everything on the menu, we did have some favorites. We both enjoyed the bacon-wrapped scallops the most. They were so good and cooked perfectly. The rack of lamb was very good as well. It was not in a marinade, but seasoned and grilled very well. The raspberry sorbet in champagne was very refreshing, but their famous S'mores cake was a great dessert to end the dinner. It was warm and gooey, just like a real S'more. On the way out, the staff moved the tables, so I could get through. And, they were all kind to us during our visit. And, when going past the front desk, they were kind and friendly, saying thanks for visiting. We felt that our needs were taken care of, and we were treated as a priority as a guest. It was very personal. Ledge Rock Grille also offers a Culinary Club. It's free to sign up. You can sign up online, or ask your server. You get a card in the mail, and, when you visit Ledge Rock Grille, you get 1 point for every dollar you spend. They have different levels of points that you can redeem to get rewards from Ledge Rock Grille to free nights in a cottage. If you are looking for a romantic dinner that offers a personal six-course meal from the chef's menu, then Ledge Rock Grille is a must STOP IN! Or, if you are looking for a family outing dinner overlooking Lake Superior, then stop in at Ledge Rock Grille. They do offer a menu with items such as steaks, seafood, lamb, wood-fired flatbreads, soups, salads, chicken, duck, burgers, and pastas. They also have a wine list and beer. They also have a 3-2-1 Happy Hour which is Daily from 3 - 5pm. Save $3.00 on any appetizer. Save $2.00 on any specialty drink. Save $1.00 on your choice of wine or beer. Also, heated outdoor deck seating is now open for the summer! And, if you are looking for lodging, they have cottages at different rates. You can look online, call, or they have an online chat available on their website.

My entree arrived before I was done with my (excellent) soup. My cocktail glass remains empty. No asked if I was interested in wine, yet a wine list resides at my table. Dessert - again, incorrect and sent back. Why are we the neglected ones. We love to dine out just as much as any couple. 4 stars for the food, 2 for the neglect. read more
