    Three cheese grilled cheese and tomato bisque soup
    Kelsey B.

    This place was nice and quiet. The perfect place for me to have some drinks and work on my laptop for about 3 hours. They have electrical outlets at each of the booths. I tried three of the local tap beers, and they didn't disappoint. The lunch special for the day was a 3 cheese grilled cheese sandwich and tomato bisque soup. Perfect for a 45degree day. The grilled cheese was grilled on a flat with Parmesan cheese which made it have a bit of a crunch. The service was great. I would highly recommend.

    First- I'm a great cook. So going out to eat means it tastes great- looks great- and is that way every time. I like a restaurant I can bring BIPOC friends and they are treated well. No withholding service, cocktails, options. Welcome to the LYRIC. Great food. Great service. Oh- did I mention- the ONLY D-town restaurant with GLUTEN FREE breaded chicken sandwich!!! Gotta try the Bison Blueberry Burger.

    Vegan Bowl with added Salmon

    I have eaten at this restaurant three times this summer while staying at the Holiday Inn. As far as hotel restaurants go, it's a solid place to eat. They make excellent cocktails and the cheese curds are yummy. There are a number of options for vegans and vegetarians on the menu. I ate the Vegan Bowl on two separate occasions. The vegetables were crisp, not soggy though I wish they would ease up on the stir fry sauce just a bit. The dish would also be greatly improved if they offered a vegan protein on top, such as edamame or tofu. The breakfast menu is extensive with many vegetarian items. Vegans will have a tougher time. My scramble was excellent and I appreciated their willingness to make a substitution. If you are staying in Duluth, definitely a place you can eat at and be happy. Easy to maneuver on my knee scooter. Accommodating staff. Vegan protein should be available with vegan protein Ample breakfast selection

    Look for this Menu!!

    I fly for an airline and being a New Yorker we obviously know a good meal when we get one. This restaurant within the Holiday Inn has got their stuff together. The service is great. The ambiance is cool, quiet yet the TV's were showing sports games on a Saturday at 11:20am. The breakfast meal that I selected "California Skillet" was on point. The presentation was that of a high end restaurant in my neck of the woods. Not to say they are not high end because they kept getting calls for reservations. It's more the price I paid for my meal is easily twice that in NY. Very satisfying and highly recommend Lyric if you want to eat a good meal without leaving the hotel.

    The service was amazing. I think we went at a slow time which was perfect for table service. The food was unlike any other I have ever had before and portion sizes were extraordinarily large. Definitely the best bang for your buck in Duluth. They had a great variety of food options, perfect for anyone who would want to go.

    Walleye Tacos, Jambalaya Pasta & Bison Burger

    Just ok food , priced fairly & affordable. The bison burger is on the dry side though.

    Went on a Friday evening at 9pm. Had reservation but that was not really necessary. Order Brezel sticks with cheese, clam chowder and a Prime Rub all was very good

    When the Lyric Kitchen Bar opened in Downtown Duluth it was a welcomed addition to this block of Superior Street and was a big upgrade in the former Porter's space on the Superior St. level of the Holiday Inn. This restaurant is located within the Holiday Inn, but if you're not staying there, it does not feel like a traditional hotel bar/restaurant. The restaurant is easily accessible from Superior St. or from 1st St. if you park in the Holiday Inn ramp. Pro Tip: the Lyric will validate for customers! The one downfall of the Lyric opening is that it also meant the end of Sneaker's Sports Bar which used to reside on the Skywalk level of the Holiday Center. Fortunately, some of the Sneaker's favorites found their way onto the Lyric's menu, including my personal favorite, the Firecracker Wrap. Now, the Lyric is a fantastic mix of trendy bar, sports bar and classy sit down restaurant. It literally has something for any occasion. Meeting you friends for happy hour after work? Lyric. Need a place to catch a good meal before the UMD hockey game? Lyric. Want a nice cozy spot to bring a date as part of a night on the town? Lyric. Be sure to sign up for their Rewards program as it will reward customer loyalty and have great specials for special occasions and birthdays! Plus, the restrooms and large and clean with very cool customized wallpaper. Enjoy your meal at the Lyric whether you're a local, a guest at the Holiday Inn or just passing through Duluth! Cheers!

    Always a top choice when we go out to eat. Delicious food and good service. Good ambiance as well…read more I get the California burger every time. Absolutely scrumptious. Always leaves me happy and full. The fries are great too. Servers are kind and attentive. 10/10 recommend

    You know what shopping can be exhausting! at the Fitger's building. Located right on the bike path…read moreon Lake Superior this place offers a bit of nostalgia, scenic views, shopping, and eating and drinking. I can wax poetic about wandering around the building but, that can be for another time. The brewhouse is a cool place to hang after you've become weary of hitting all the shops on Canal street. Nestled in the old brewery you will experience first and foremost some solid beers (take some crowlers home with you), and some decent food. I think we at lunch here three times? I think one kind of gets tricked into eating here. One starts with a couple beers, then an appetizer, and the next thing you know, you're onto an entree without giving it a second thought. Honestly, I don't think I had anything or tasted anything that was bad. My favorites here are: 1. Poutine: fries, cheese curds, bacon and gravy? that is always a winner. 2. Elote Dip is super good. I'd fight somebody for the last scoop of the dip. 3. the Pretzels are good. Love the cheese sauce....I would ask for mustard too, but that is just me. 4. Pimento Cheeseburger is a favorite like the little bit of kick it offers with the Jalapenos, and it was made medium rare for me to boot I did try a bit of the Wild Rice burger. It was OK, non-meat options are not my gig for a burger. the person who ordered this, truly enjoyed it. I also want to mention the their beer is fresh, well-made, and there is usually a taproom only beer available. I have missed it the last few years but, they had a barleywine that was outstanding. I hope that comes back. If you're in Duluth it is totally worth the stop. Eat some food, drink some beers, buy some merch and support this local treasure.

    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.
