    Stopped for a round of drinks with the girls. Found it odd the staff was hanging at tables and the bill came on a post-it, hmm?

    Pulled pork sliders were great. Bartender fixed me a special request. Good food.

    The New Scenic Café is one of those places you could easily drive right past without realizing what…read moreyou're missing. From the road, it looks like a small North Shore cabin tucked alongside the highway, with a few trailers outside. Step inside, though, and you'll find what I genuinely think is one of the best restaurants in Minnesota. The food is phenomenal -- creative, beautifully presented, and easily approaching Michelin-level quality, but without any of the pretension or pricing you might expect. The menu is constantly changing, the ingredients and execution are outstanding, and somehow the whole experience still feels wonderfully humble and relaxed. Prices are also incredibly reasonable considering the quality of what comes out of the kitchen. I make a point of stopping here whenever I'm on the North Shore. It's only about 10 minutes north of Duluth, and if you're visiting the area and only have time for one really memorable meal, make it this one. An absolute North Shore gem.

The restaurant overlooks the lake, making for such a beautiful and relaxing setting. The ambiance is absolutely charming, and I loved the serveware, it gave the whole meal a lovely high tea feel. The food was on the pricey side, but every single thing we ordered was absolutely delicious. They also had a display of freshly baked goods at the front, so we picked up a few treats to take on the road. Those were just as amazing as our meal! The staff was incredibly welcoming and sweet, and I loved all the thoughtful little touches throughout the restaurant. One of my favorites was the guestbook they invite visitors to sign before leaving. It's details like that that make a place feel extra special. I would absolutely recommend stopping here if you're driving the North Shore. Beautiful views, delicious food, and such a warm, memorable experience.

    LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THIS PLACE! The menu is diverse, flavorful, and has something for everyone, while…read morethe staff is incredibly welcoming. Definitely a place I'll be coming back to! CRISPY BRUSSEL SPROUTS Sweet and spicy soy glaze with sautéed red peppers and scallions. These were a little too heavy on the sauce for my liking, but otherwise very good. If you're not a fan of sweeter flavors, this one may not be for you. BUFFALO MAC & CHEESE Cavatappi pasta tossed in a creamy mac sauce, topped with crispy buffalo chicken, blue cheese crumbles, and onion straws. We added bacon and chicken, and this was a top pick for us! The buffalo sauce had the perfect balance--not overly spicy, but enough flavor to complement the creamy mac and cheese. CPB CO. FISH AND CHIPS Craft beer-battered haddock served with Northcoaster fries and house-made tartar sauce. Another top pick for us! The fish was crispy, flavorful, and perfectly fried. Honestly, one of the best fried fish dishes I've had in Minnesota. Unfortunately, I can't report on the beer as I'm not a big drinker...Sorry! Overall, a fantastic experience with great food, welcoming service, and plenty of variety. Definitely one of my favorite spots in Duluth!

    We had a great experience at Canal Park Brewing Company! Our server was friendly and attentive, and…read morethe food was delicious. The beer selection was a little smaller than we expected, but there was still a nice variety of styles, so everyone in our group found something they enjoyed. They also have a full bar with specialty cocktails. The food menu was surprisingly large with lots of unique and fun options to try. The only small downside was that the Brussels sprouts were still a little undercooked for our taste, but everything else was excellent and more than made up for it. Excellent brisket, fish n chips, and build your own burger! The garlic aioli and IPA mustard sauces were definitely memorable. Overall, it's a great spot for good food, craft beer, and a fun atmosphere located right on the pier. We'd definitely come back!

    The portions here are glorious! We had spent most of the day driving and had forgotten to grab food…read moreearlier in the day, so this was our first real meal (minus the snacks!). There were lots of contenders I wanted to go for (eg the teriyaki barbecue mushroom Swiss burger!), but I ended up deciding on the Chuck Norris + I definitely wasn't disappointed! (It is a lotttttt of food.) Aside from being a burger, it was also topped with ground beef and onion rings + we were able to choose different flavors of bbq sauce too! (My memory is failing me a little and I should've written this review sooner, but I believe there was their house bbq, apple, and blackberry!) Might have been blueberry? It was delicious + we def ended up having leftovers for the next day. We got fried mushrooms and cheese curds to split too! The decor here is fun + if you're looking for something other than a burger, they do serve breakfast all day + also have salads and sandwiches too! Service was friendly and pretty quick!

    This place was a great stop for lunch, albeit the only option in the area for the most part. We…read morewere taken care of pretty quickly, and the food was good but the burger was just ok- pretty dry. The cheese curds were good, but the ranch was definitely homemade, and the fries were good too. Overall decent, but wouldn't say it's the best place to go on the north shore.

    We went here for the first time and definitely will return again…read more Good food. I had the typical Friday fish fry, which included a baked potato. I get tired of French fries and the baked potato was an excellent change up. The tasty white fish was a good size filet. The coleslaw was a light vinegar style. Even the roll was good. My wife had the lamb stew and that was fabulous. I was able to snatch a couple bites, but she loved it and finished this hearty dish. Good old fashions. We split a pumpkin cake. Sarah was our server and did a fantastic job. Very delightful. You can tell she likes working there which is always a bonus for the atmosphere if the staff enjoys it. We ate at a table in the bar. Very upnorth Wisconsin vibe. The Herbster beach is just down the street. Great apres-dinner walk. A gem of a restaurant. Worth the 35 minute drive. Save me a table.

    Someone had mentioned this place as having a dog friendly patio, so we stopped here for lunch after…read morea hike at Lost Creek Falls. The outdoor patio has a (distant) view of Lake Superior. While the patio is dog-friendly, you have to go inside to the bar to order your drinks and food and dogs aren't allowed in there. So, if you're traveling solo with your dog, be aware of this. I just left the car locked and running while I went in to order, put my placard down on a table outside, then went and grabbed the pup from the car. The Caesar Salad with chicken was lovely and had nice, crisp greens - not just the light colored watery lettuce, this had the medium and dark green goodness too. Still a little bland tasting, but it is a nice size and I ate the whole thing. The chicken on top of it was warm and freshly cooked, and absolutely delicious. I shared a piece of chicken and some lettuce with my pup and he likewise approved. It was a warm sunny day, so I ordered a Kentucky Mule to go along with my salad. Staff was a little busy with tables inside (lots of children at one table) so they forgot about my drink sitting on the bar. It came out just after my salad, so I just decided to make it my dessert instead of my appetizer :) Friendly staff and good food. If you're out this way, why not stop in and enjoy for yourself?
