Stopped in here with some friends that wanted to try ramen for the first time. We were coming from…read moreGrand Portage and heading back to Saint Cloud so this was roughly half way. Now I'll state that they are generally not "food adventurous" so it was kind of fun to have them try something outside of their norm. I had the steak teriyaki and split a California roll with the table. Both were good. The teriyaki was not the best I've ever had but a bit better than average. The sushi was definitely average. I mean, granted it was a "beginner" sushi roll because of the company I brought, but still. The Japanese side salad though was very good. The others at the table tried the miso soup and the ramen with chicken. They enjoyed trying them as sort of newbies to asian food and they liked them. The service was fast and friendly, and the robot cart that brings out your food is kind of fun. We watched it sing happy birthday to another table and bring out a piece of cake which was kind of cute. Prices were reasonable for what it was.

Lets start with the Spicy Tuna: You might as well pick this up at a late night gas station, tiny bite, dried out (as in not at all fresh), flavorless with something to pass for wasabi (a tiny dab with no heat) and fake red ginger. In the same tiny plastic container two blobs that looked like over-ripe mashed mango, also no flavor other than slime, I called because I thought they forgot my Sashimi order, lol, and was told that because I ordered Spicy that slime was the sashimi poured in next to my Tuna roll. Yikes. I only took one small bit and it tasted less flavorful than the overripened Mango I thought it was. The Miso Soup: salty water with some seaweed, no broth at all, and finally the Garlic Broccoli was yellow and sitting in a medicinal tasting liquid, also unedible but probably the best item in the order. Maybe eating-in would have been a better experience, who knows but for sure do not order for delivery. Yuk.

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.

Northern Waters Smokehaus is one of the most recommended restaurants in Duluth. Located…read moreconveniently in the center of Canal Park, we stopped by on a sunny Wednesday early afternoon, hoping to score some of the best sandwiches in town. Even though this was well past lunch time at 2PM, the outside patio was packed and there was a line of 10 people or so to contend with to order at the register. Due to how busy it was, our food took about 20 minutes to arrive. The Squealy Dan, Porketta ($16) - Unlike most other restaurants with Iron Range Porketta, Northern Waters slices their porketta thinly instead of pulling the pork apart. It has a pleasant spiced flavor and the texture feels as if it's cured rather than roasted. It's relatively tender, and while they give a decent amount of meat, it's completely overshadowed by the heavy spicy quality of the black pepper and the acidity and vegetalness of the crunchy pepperoncini. There's a bit of melted gooey provolone on top of the porketta. While nice, there's not enough to balance out the peppers. This is all on a crusty almost baguette-like hero roll, toasty and warm. The sandwich is served with a side dip that's essentially black pepper and pepperoncini water. Definitely not needed given how overwhelming those elements are in the sandwich. (3/5) Pastrami Mommy ($19) - I haven't had bison pastrami before. Now I know why it's not very common - it's way too lean and dry compared to beef pastrami. Still, it's nicely spiced and peppery, and there's not much of the bison gamey flavor since it's cooked out from the curing. There's a little bit of mayo underneath and some mustard on top, but it's not enough moisture or fat in my opinion to counteract the leanness of the bison. While there are some slices of provolone above the meat, they are served cold. I feel like melting it with the pastrami on the griddle would do wonders to help develop some more unctuousness. It's also served on cold rye - perhaps toasting with some butter would also help. Otherwise, the sandwich is just too dry and lean for my tastes. (3/5) I feel like I ordered the wrong items. I probably should have gone with some of the seafood sandwiches, but I found it strange they only serve Atlantic salmon rather than local lake fish. In the end, I appreciate that Northern Waters Smokehaus makes most of their meats in house, but after trying their food, I feel like it's more hype than substance. Bathrooms - Larger ones located upstairs, shared with the rest of the businesses in the mini mall. Note: Northern Waters Smokehaus charges a 3% credit card fee.
