    Chicken pot pie, brussels sprouts, and an old-fashioned

    Wonderful restaurant in Duluth. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I love the food, ambience, and setting.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I try to visit here every time I'm in town and it feels like my home away from home. Highly recommend any of their delicious menu items.

    A small restaurant with a long wait. Especially since we checked in and waited. We asked again in 20 minutes and she said we hadn't checked in. All 4 of us heard the guy say we were checked in but he had been replaced. So another long wait. Then we were seated in the annex. The food is good; not great. I expected the Okonomiaki to have more of a crepe like pancake stuffed with ingredients. It was just a jumble of items together. Kind of an afterthought type of dish. Not like in Japan. Service was rushed and no refills on beverages. We waited 20 minutes for the check. They also sell local teas and other products in their small store area.

    Polenta. Unfortunately, it was dried out like it had sat under a heat lamp for too long.

    I went with a small group and had high hopes because they said it was good. Things started out well with the service and the first drink I had, the Gulf of Mexico, was very tasty. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Overall, it was a good ambience with the used books for sale on the wall and casual vibe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Appetizers were good, but really went downhill with the meal. I along with several others, ordered the polenta. It came out dry and overcooked like it had sat under the heat lamp for too long. It wasn't just mine, others had the same experience. Since it was one of their signature dishes, I expected a lot more in the quality of the preparation. Had it not been overcooked and dried out, it would've probably been pretty good. I ordered a second Gulf of Mexico, and it came in the wrong kind of glass, did not taste nearly as good as the first one. It actually tasted a bit mediciney as they had gotten the measurements completely wrong. The server was polite and did a nice job with our group. While I may give it a second try if someone suggested it, I probably would not pick it as a place to go back to.

    Outstanding breakfast every time we visit :) It's the perfect spot - staff are always kind, food is absolutely delicious, and [[HIGHLIGHT]]it feels like you're in the comfort of your own home[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. I can't say enough about this place. It's a must try if you're in Duluth area!

    Cranberry Wild Rice French Toast

    Wonderful food and great service. This semi-hidden gem is tucked into a quaint neighborhood and it feels like home. The food was delicious. Biscuits with Chorizo Gravy and French Toast were my favorites.

    We loved Sarah's table! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere is cozy and eclectic, and you can wait by their giant wood burning stove for your table.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] There is a parking lot on the side, so parking was easy. We had delicious giant breakfasts- everything from your typical sweeter fare to omelets to unique savory dishes. I had the Okonomiyaki off of the all day menu because I wanted something on the healthier side, and it was absolutely delicious. Our server told us that they tried to take it off the menu at one point, and there was basically a revolt, so they had to put it back. I see why. Our croissant was also a hit, and we loved the special Maple Brown Sugar Latte. It can get busy, especially for brunch on the weekends, so I suggest making a reservation if you can. They have an online wait list, so you can "get on line" before you even arrive to cut down your wait time if you are a walk-in. This is probably our favorite brunch spot in Duluth.

    Wonderful for breakfast! Great coffee wonderful food delightful service. Highly recommended!

    This place was so delicious!!! Oh my god like do I move to Duluth so I can come here every weekend (or day)??? The food is delicious, and from what I understood, majority of it was also organic or locally sourced!! The inside feels like a cozy cabin. And the staff were all so so so friendly and amazing. Truly couldn't have had a better experience. Oh their drip coffee is also lovely (and bottomless duh).

    Absolutely love the food here. We browsed the bakery case as we waited for a table. Every pastry and bread looked so good. I had to step away from the case. Haha I enjoy a hot chocolate that came with lots of whip and my hubby had a real cappuccino. Attentive waitress and relaxed atmosphere made for the a great breakfast. The corned beef hash was so hearty and so much flavor in my mouth. The Biscuit in a chorizo gravy was different but so creamy delicious with a spicy kick. The homemade biscuits was soft and soaked up all the sauce. Too full for dessert. When we walked out we watched employees go to their garden with baskets and they picked all kids of fresh herbs & veggies I assume. So cool.

    Yam Fries
    Deanie H.

    Fantastic food in Duluth with plenty of vegan and vegetarian options! We ordered the tofu curry, quesabirria, and yam fries. The curry has been a staple on their menu for 20+ years according to our server. The best IMHO were the yam fries and their ranch is deeeelicious--tasted homemade! They also have a bakery counter with lots of GF and Vegan options. We got the blueberry & orange crumble tart and an affogato to-go. The affogato was perfect. Service was friendly and fast. We were even seated in the "bar area" which was just a quaint little add on to the main restaurant area. They're open late too!

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Delicious food, genuine service, and comfortable atmosphere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We were there for lunch on a Saturday, about a 25 minute wait, but it went fast. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Lots of seating, they were very busy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Can be a bit pricey, but the quality of the ingredients is high. Try them out! We had the Brisket Hash and GBLT.

    Dinner salad with raspberry vinaigrette
    Mike B.

    We were passing through Duluth and needed to get something for dinner. When we asked about Sarah's Table at the front desk of our hotel the response from a distant voice that overheard us was an enthusiastic "Oh hell yes! That place is fantastic"! And it was! It was a warm, almost tropical summer night in Duluth (kind of a rare thing) so we sat out on the deck. Good choice. It was getting late and we didn't need a lot of food so my wife and I both ordered dinner salads and split the Okonomiyaki described on the menu as a "savory Japanese pancake". To me it was more like fancy hash browns. However you want to describe them they were delish. The dinner salads were fresh, generously portioned and gorgeous with the water melon radishes. All in all, a great meal at a great restaurant. Can't wait to stop again next time we're in the area.

    This is my all-time favorite neighborhood restaurant. I love to stop by there for coffee in the morning and especially love to go there for dinner dinners and brunches. Lots of locals eat here as well as tourists. Make sure you get there with at least an hour to wait if you're going on a Saturday or Sunday morning.

The service was…read morefantastic--our server was knowledgeable about the menu and helpful with explaining portion sizes for sharing. This is an upscale tapas menu, expect small plates and a surprising mix of delightful, seasonal flavors. We enjoyed the trio of dips, our favorite was the muhammara--roasted pepper and walnut with citrus and pomegranate seeds. We added on an extra pita to soak up every bite. Next was the dolma, a delicious combo of flavors and twist on the traditional. The kale salad was perfectly dressed and grilled peach added just the right sweet contrast. The Lake Trout with couscous was outstanding but my favorite part of the plate was the chermoula--a tangy, herby olive oil concoction that I must replicate. The chef came by to talk to us and answer our questions. We each enjoyed a signature cocktail, I highly recommend the Limonada 75, an Italian take on the French 75 with limoncello. We wrapped up our experience sharing the Olive Oil Cake with a rhubarb compote and generous dollop of fresh whipped cream. We will absolutely be back, we have to try the halloumi, which was unavailable, and the pasta at the table next to us looked tasty. There was also plenty of variety for a vegetarian/pescatarian to choose from. Alto Pino is expensive, but worth it. A dinner shared between three people including sharing 4 small plates, dessert, drink, and 20%+ tip came out to about $70 each. You are also paying for the experience of tasting something new and unlike anything else offered in Duluth. Reservations were easy to make online, you should make yours today! PS I'd love to see their twist on traditional Spanish tapas like patatas bravas or pan con tomate on the menu!

    The vibe is weird. The food is tiny. The prices are high for the amount of food they give you. Go…read moreto Saratoga instead!
