Excellent food, great owners & staff, nice relaxed atmosphere - 5 stars!…read more I really like EF5. The food is excellent. I tried 2 kinds of pizza, 2 appetizers, 1 hot hoagie, and a specialty cocktail. Good stuff! I really enjoyed talking to the staff too. As it turns out, the people I was talking to were the owners. And their young daughter was hanging out on one of the back tables. They're very friendly, sincere people. It was a pleasure meeting with them. The service was a little slow and the orders got a bit mixed up. But everything else totally made up for a few minor glitches. I really love the old photos and the story about the monster EF5 tornado that leveled the entire city of New Richmond in 1899. I was totally clueless. It was the strongest tornado on record in Wisconsin. It killed 117 people and numerous horses. Incredible! The storm is the namesake of the bar. If you love pizza and drinks (and who doesn't?) , this place should be top of your list. Thumbs up! -Daddy Maxx Retro

They had live music the evening we stopped in, we wanted to talk so they put us in an area that was a bit more conducive to doing that. The musician was very good.

The pork chop was tender, juicy and flavorful while the potatoes were extra crispy. The lamb on a bed of peas with bits of crunchy chick peas on top of tzatziki was also amazing (I don't think it can outshine the pork chop) the lamb was a hearty serving of tender deliciousness as well. Ended things with the brown butter cake drizzled in salted caramel topped with mousse and pumpkin seeds - also fabulous. Our service was excellent - she was fun, friendly and gave us great recommendations. Very moody vibes in the evening which I love, it's perfectly small and cozy here.

Fantastic concept all around! Located just 45-minutes from the Twin Cities, Nordic Harbor is a gem…read moreof a find offering overnight rooms, a market, rooftop patio and even pontoon rentals. My very first visit here was for Mother's Day when my mom suggested we check out the market and rooftop patio. I am so glad we did because I was instantly hooked by the entire experience from the cleanliness to overall transformation from a former beat down motel into a luxurious space. The market contains gelato, espresso drinks, cases of drinks from boozy to normal, Nordic Harbor apparel, frozen pizzas, little snacks such as cheese and meats and an opportunity to make your own charcuterie board. Think of the market as your home base or check in if you plan on renting a room. There is also a very nice bathroom in here. My favorite part? The intimacy. Nordic Harbor isn't trying to be the loudest, most overpopulated spot on the lake, rather, everything is crafted with intention and the Nordic theme of cozy and quiet in mind. I came back for Memorial Day weekend and did a 1-night overnight with a full 8-hour pontoon rental and everything was seamless. I booked every component of this trip online and it was even given a personalized call from the owner, Nic, when I had a few lingering questions. A special code will be provided via email to access your room on the lockbox as opposed to a key. Each room amplifies the Nordic "Hygee" concept mentioned above which includes a quaint space with no clutter. The room even comes with a binder book that helps describe the room layout with the goal of keeping clutter out. I appreciated the slippers, eye masks, Nespresso machines, dish wear, patio, coffee mugs, electric fire pit and quiet hours. Additionally, the entire bathroom was a vibe from the heated floors to the LED mirror to the hanging eucalyptus to the luxurious shower head and shower spray with full products available to use. This has been my favorite shower to date!! The market, outdoor patio and pontoon rentals are open to the public so there is a good chance that people you encounter might not necessarily be spending time overnight and that is the beautiful thing about this place! Our pontoon rental was seamless - zero issues. We had great assistance learning the ropes of the boat and then it was all very independent once the keys were given which we appreciated. Needless to say, I will be returning again for sure. Thank you, Nordic Harbor!

It was incredibly juicy, tender, and perfectly cooked without being dried out at all. You can tell real care goes into the food here. The complimentary dessert was such a pleasant surprise too. It looked like a little circle pastry, but had the warm, sweet flavor and texture of a churro -- absolutely delicious and a perfect ending to the meal. Our waiter went above and beyond the entire evening. The service was attentive, friendly, and truly exceptional. The ambience was relaxing and inviting, the food was excellent, the prices were fair, and the portions were generous enough that we happily brought leftovers home. Definitely worth the trip, and we'll absolutely be back again.

They have ton of tvs on the rooftop to watch sports, etc. They also have huge see through panels to protect you from the elements. Weather can change in an instance. Food: We ordered the Gouda chicken nachos with guac. It was decadent. So delish. Highly recommend. We also had jalapenos on the side so those that love them can enjoy them. Also ordered a size of fries which were okay. Drinks: I ordered a mason jar cocktail of the pina colada (not blended). I don't remember seeing the cost on the menu for their cocktails and didn't realize it was going to be in a Large mason jar. I thought it would be in a smaller sized one. Anyways it was fine and tasted good but $25 for a cocktail was steep but it was also like having 2 cocktails. Look forward to coming back and trying an entree.

The 5-star reviews describing this place as a cocktail lounge or having met interesting people must be locals having a laugh at those of us who were looking for something unique in WBL. This is not it. It was loud, full of drunk people shouting at each other, and too busy for the single poor bartender trying to keep everyone served. They had a decent bar for mixed drinks but only serve Heggie's pizza for food. They only take cash--unless you're a regular (then they'll take your plastic). So bring cash, get one drink, and then run down the street to somewhere with a better menu and your choice of whiskeys.

As for the coffee, I tried the carrot cake latte as per baristas recommendation and was really good! I got a 12 oz with an extra shot because I like my coffee flavor strong and it was perfect. The espresso has a bit of that bitter taste so if that's not what you like this probably isn't the coffee for you. My only reason for 4 stars is the price. My coffee was 8.92 with no tip so I paid $10 for a 2 shot drink today. I hope that once they have been running the coffee part for a while that the price can come down at least a dollar. Most extra shots are about 75 cents to 1 dollar at other coffee shops whereas it's 1.25 here. Will be back to try other specialty items!
