Neal Turluck
Delicate, simple, delicious, and enigmatic. This place leaves the taste buds wanting for more. There is a contentment only brought on by what seems like an eclectic mix of fusion and down home classic cooking. The bisque was delicious, the seviche sparked my pallet, and the duck tamale was cooked to perfection and balanced with a mix of the Minnesota wild. Definitely come here and bring a friend, it’ll be a long lasting memory that will leave you wanting for more!

Came here around 8:15 on a Thursday night, sat on the patio and enjoyed excellent food from our server Sean. Would highly recommend for anyone looking for non traditional food in Duluth, flavors that actually excite! We had the duck tamal and sob noodles with steak — so good.

Absolutely fantastic experience! My husband and I made reservations last-minute for our wedding anniversary this evening. We were seated promptly and given water. The server was very friendly and quick to take our order. He did inform me that they were out of the mussels which was a bummer but we already knew what we wanted for entrees so we decided to skip appetizers. My husband had the steak pizza and I had the grilled squid and both were PHENOMENAL! Truly one of my favorite dining experiences of all time! The food was very flavorful and beautifully presented, it arrived fairly quickly and was hot and fresh! I’m really hesitant to try new things so the squid was a risk for me but it definitely paid off. I ate every bite of it and was too full to even consider dessert. All in all I would highly recommend it for anyone looking for something a little more unique and flavorful than your average restaurant!

Got the pork belly hash and it was very good. I did have to put some hot sauce on it for personal taste but nothing against the dish, it was very well prepared and plated. Service was very good as well, our bartender checked in consistently and made sure we were taken care of. Highly recommend.

The food tastes great! But the portions are small. The staff is friendly. But they make weak drinks.

Went here for bone marrow but the place apparently changes menus often. I serendipitously caught the last day before another menu changed and glad I did. The pork chop entree was enough for two. It took a bit of time to cook but worth the wait because it arrived tender, juicy, and perfectly seasoned.

Absolutely phenomenal food. Delicious, fresh flavor, some unique flavors and combinations. The staff are also incredible. The vibe is similar to Duluth Grill, with quaint handmade coffee cups and delicious local coffee. Get the breakfast pizza!

Decent American food at reasonable prices. Much better quality than you can get in the North Shore, so it’s a reasonable place to come to after visiting the more remote parts of Lake Superior.
