Seating originally was full house but luckily after a lap around, we were able to find a seat. Service was timely given the packed crowd and the staff was very accommodating and kind. They never made us feel rushed and was kind to give us some information about the history of the building. There was apparently another bar on the upper floor but when we visited it wasn't open. The drink list had a lot of options so it was easy to find a few options to try. There was even artwork (many were Duluth focused) from what I'm assuming is from local artists that were for sale which I thought was a nice touch!

You can have your chicken grilled or fried and I chose grilled. It comes with a warmed breadstick. All the ingredients were fresh. It was a nice lighter meal and a good portion size.

She was so efficient and every request was done with urgency. So much energy. All the staff were welcoming. One gentleman had his water glass slip off the table and everyone came to help clean it up quickly.

I have had several occasions to visit recently…read more Food has been good and consistent. Having tried burgers, sandwiches, entrees, pizza, wings, I would summarize the food this way, straightforward. Everything that I have eaten has been good. Not extra special or amazing, but good and consistent. I have had consistently friendly and helpful servers. I don't personally know anyone who works there but my interactions with staff have all been very friendly. I have eaten here alone and with groups, there is always music or TV sound happening, but it not so loud as to bother all conversation or prevent you from reading. I personally like ambient noise as long as it is not too loud. It is one of the reasons I would go out by myself is to be in that environment. I have found this business to be consistently accommodating and reliably good quality.

I have to say that this was one of those "never have I ever " experiences! We had to call the…read morerestaurant to get service (literally) while we were sitting on their patio, but we're up north and figured we'd just relax and enjoy. However, we also had to call the restaurant while we were there to get service, Still, we're "up north " so trying to "chill". After we were finally served our food (it was a "so-so" meal ) we had to actually call the restaurant yet again to pay the bill! It will be a great story to tell everyone about.....we waited around forever. Stood up and went to get a server to make sure that our bill was paid- which was another ordeal. A good story for the ages,but we won't recommend it for the faint of heart Food (honestly) wasn't even close to be worth waiting for. Restaurant wasn't close to being busy either.

The food was largely amazing in a good way. The service was particularly disappointing. Our meal…read moretook over two hours, and it very much seemed that the staff believed "sorry we are busy" and a free desert would make it all better. More details below. The food was excellent, except for the falafel. I've never had falafel before that wasn't crispy on the outside. I'm not sure if the dish sat for a while before being served, or if The Pines simply serves it non-crispy. It was soggy. The great food included: Chicken, Scampi, Sea Bass, Walleye Tempura, Popovers, Potatoes, Beets, Cauliflower. All of these were excellent and everyone at our table was so pleased. The service: I'm not sure if I will return. It is unlikely. Our initial round of food appeared very quickly. Things slowed down after that. The rest of the food took an eternity to arrive. I truly considered asking for the bill and leaving before our mains, but we were treating friends. My tiny water glass kept going empty, and finally someone asked if we would like a carafe of water. Yes, yes indeed. Beverages were in general slow. We were told that we would receive a free desert, and asked for the menu. When she came to see what we might order, we had to ask for the menu a second time. More slow. What fun. I privately let our server know I was quite disappointed prior to the bill arriving. I was crystal clear before we ordered that I was to receive the bill. The bill was left on the table with one of my guests. I provided my credit card, and again the bill was left with my female guest. Did you even look at my name on the card (an obviously male name).

Enjoyed it. We've…read morebeen coming to Jade Fountain once a year when we're in the area visiting our son, for several years now. We've always ordered their Old Fashioned, so tonight was no exception. I wasn't too fond of the bourbon used but the drink was well made and was on a nice big ice cube. The vibe here is "speakeasy" in my opinion. Each time we've been here, there's only one person working and he stays busy. But he is very efficient, so we've never waited long for our drinks. One room here has a small stage and PA setup. We've never been here when they had entertainment. But they always have music on in the background for ambiance. Thanks Jade Fountain for capping off our week-long visit to Duluth. See you next time.

Vi's ended up being our favorite stop. We ordered a Sauerkraut Pizza for the first time, and it blew us away! The tangy Kraut with the rich cheese and perfectly greasy, flavorful crust was everything you want in a classic dive-style pizza. The cheese was great quality, the crust had just the right consistency, and the whole thing hit the spot after a long day outdoors. We also grabbed an order of onion rings, it was a massive portion, perfectly crispy! It was honestly shocking to find this level of quality so far away from the city. We sat at the bar with a friendly bartender and chatted with some locals playing pull tabs, which just added to the charm. Great food, great people, and exactly the kind of small-town gem you hope to stumble into while exploring.

My friend and I are from out of town and found that, out of the three bartenders, she was the best. No offense to the guy that works on Wednesday, but he unfortunately did not know how to make a simple martini nor a gimlet, which is featured on the menu as one of the signature drinks. So maybe the girl from Friday nights could teach everyone how to make cocktails. Then, and only then, will everyone be able to serve a good one.

I visited BoomTown this evening for their Taco Tuesday. I ordered the Boom Boom Pulled Pork tacos…read more I have had these many time before, but tonight they were over the top spicy. I talked to the table next to me who agreed, in fact like me the lady at that table ate almost two of her tacos before she couldn't handle it any more. I told them I was having the same difficulty. One waiter said the tacos should be more "sweet" not spicy. Our waitress said others had complained today regarding the spiciness too. I stopped eating my tacos, chips and salsa, since I couldn't identify where the spice was coming from. When I asked my waitress, who had admitted others were complaining, about a discount since I couldn't finish my food since the heat kept building in my mouth. She stated I couldn't get a discount since it was Taco Tuesday so the food was already discounted. Not pleased. To add insult to injury the lady at the table next to me made the same complaint and she was offered new food. I don't know if it was because her husband made the complaint on her behalf, and I was a table of one? Very disappointed in service and food. Sadly I drove by Thirsty Moose who has amazing food, but picked Boomtown tonight. Regretting that decision.
