A Fantastic Transformation and a Great Addition to Superior…read more Having been to the building when it was Shorty's, I have to say the transformation into Mazi is absolutely incredible. From the moment we pulled up, it was obvious how much work went into the renovation. The parking lot was completely redone, and the entire exterior looked fresh and inviting. Once inside, we were really blown away by the decor. The tables and chairs were comfortable and stylish, the bar area looked great, and there was even a nice lounge area. The bathrooms were also very well done. Overall, they did an exceptional job completely refurbishing the building and turning it into a beautiful restaurant. There were six of us celebrating a birthday, and we started with a couple of appetizers. The smoked olives were very well received, and the bone marrow was excellent. Our waiter also recommended getting some additional bread to go with the bone marrow, which turned out to be a great suggestion. Our young waiter was fantastic throughout the evening--very attentive and helpful, although unfortunately I can't remember his name. We also enjoyed a variety of cocktails and mocktails, which were very good. For dinner, three of us ordered the fish and chips, one had the mussels, one ordered the New York strip, and I had the chicken and waffles. The fish and chips were a huge hit. The fish was walleye, and the portions were enormous--so much so that there were plenty of leftovers. The walleye was cooked really well, and the fries were excellent. I had the chicken and waffles, and they were really, really good. There were jalapeño bits and a barbecue-style sauce that gave the dish a nice combination of sweetness with just a little bit of heat. It was a generous portion, and I was definitely full when I finished. The New York strip was also very well received, and the mussels were cooked perfectly and had great flavor. The only minor criticism was that the broth for the mussels seemed a little on the salty side. Otherwise, they were excellent. Of course, we couldn't leave without dessert. We ordered the crème brûlée, chocolate mousse cake, and cheesecake. All three were phenomenal. In fact, we couldn't even agree on which one was our favorite--which is a pretty good problem to have! Overall, Mazi is a fantastic addition to the Twin Ports dining scene. The transformation from Shorty's is remarkable, the atmosphere is beautiful, the portions are generous, and the food was excellent. It's clear that a lot of thought and effort went into creating this restaurant. We'll definitely be back and will be recommending Mazi to others looking for a great place to eat in Superior.

We also each had an entree. I had the steak and my son had the mussels. The focaccia that came with my son's food was perfection. He said the "sauce" the mussels came in was something he could drink; it was so good. My steak was good but over cooked. I asked for medium rare and it was well done but surprising still good. The restaurant is new so giving grace there. They let me sub out the potato and I had broccolini. It was awesome. I had their signature cocktail with tequila. Cannot recall the name but I think it was the only tequila cocktail on the cocktail menu. It was super refreshing. The service was good. Our server was Blake and he was very nice. We sat next to a nice couple who were in their 90's. Such a lovely experience. I was so happy to hear they have a Mediterranean restaurant in superior but now that I've gone and love it, I will definitely be a regular.

You pay by the glass, so you can try as many beers as you'd like! I tried the wood-smoked wheat, chili pepper ale, cranfest, and beermosa. They were all great, but the chili pepper was my favorite. It had a nice, spicy aftertaste. They don't have food (aside from pretzels and other bar snacks), but you can order outside food to enjoy with your drinks.

I had heard great things about Bent Paddle Brewing's taproom - and it did not disappoint. A huge…read morestage with music set up outside and the inside was extremely expansive. Bent Paddle Brewing Company is a family-owned and operated craft brewery and taproom in Duluth, Minnesota. The brewery opened in May 2013 and uses Lake Superior water to brew it's beers and hemp beverages. Bent Paddle's mission is to create a unique craft beer experience while also being sustainable for the business, employees, environment, and community. And they deliver on it all. I got a flight to enjoy some of their more limited offerings. Munchin Pretzels: An Oktoberfest beer brewed with traditional German Malts and Hops. I get toasted bread malt character with a bit of sweetness, but rounded out by a hop bitterness. The malt profile is definitely the forefront and I wished I had a pretzel to go with it. Infinity Stuf: An Oatmeal Stout that they went all out with 100 pounds of Oreos. Nutty oatiness, chocolate, and medium fullness. I appreciate it not being a Pastry Stout, but still get lots of Oreo character. A Beer of Their Own: A Hoppy Pale Ale brewed in collaboration with a Bar Of Their Own in the Twin Cities. Tropical fruit forward - primarily melon and cantaloupe, with a nice finish. Stratarado: A Hoppy Pale Ale brewed with Strata and El Dorado (get the name?). Tropical fruit, pineapple, some sweetness on the tongue. Liked this one a lot. ______
