We were a group of 16 there for a dinner on a Wednesday evening. We had a great time. Service was a little slow, perhaps because of the group size, but service was also completely amiable and pleasant. The food is to die for. I had the roasted beet/arugula/goat cheese salad. It was beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. No surprise.....it's... More

The drive up to the cafe is gorgeous. The menu is full of interesting choices, and they switch it up according to seasons. Don't expect super fast service.Take a day off and drive further north to Betty's Pies or to go see some of the light houses along the lake.

After being subjected to the bar scene in Canal street we decided to find a locals choice for dinner. We were so lucky to find New Scenic Cafe, from the view, to the service , and the innovative food choices this place is well ranked at #1. The wait staff was delightful and everything they brought to the table was... More

We went for dinner in February. The drive out to the restaurant takes about 30 minutes (in snow) from Duluth. The menu is clever and the food was mostly good. We did not have a wait for our table (we had reservations of course and it WAS February in Duluth). However, we waited a half hour for our entrees to... More

We have been here a few times over the years. It hasn't changed much - typically the food is quite good to excellent, but the wait is horrible! This time we waited an hour and a half for our entrees to arrive (on our first occasion, dinner was a three-hour deal!). If you're staying in Duluth, it's a little bit... More

We took a weekend trip to Duluth and found this restaurant on tripadvisor. It was the highest rated restaurant in Duluth, so of course we had to try it out. It's a bit out of the way, but well worth the drive. The decor is homey, yet classy, and it has a cabin feel to it. Great view of Lake... More

Called for a table before arriving and only waited 15 minutes to be seated. Waited 25 minutes to order, and after another 25 minute wait we were told they were out of the soup we had ordered. We canceled the soup and requested they bring the entres. After another wait we were told they lost our order. They gave us... More

We like to make a stop every once in a while and its definitely a treat. I have enjoyed many different dishes and the menu changes with the seasons so its fun. One of the nicest surprises to the end of our meal was when I had a piece of raspberry pie. It was over the top! Im sure there... More

We had dinner at the New Scenic Café on a Sunday night in May. Arriving at 6:30pm without a reservation, we were concerned that we might have to wait to get a table when we saw the packed parking lot. But as fate would have it, there was a lone 2-top beckoning! We had heard lots of good things about... More
