We had a group of 12 celebrating a birthday early in evening 5 pm January 13th, 2024. We had appetizers, drinks, main courses and just ordered more drinks when the rude manager lady made it clear that she had another group coming in so she...needed the tables even though there were empty equivalent tables near us. We were all put off by her. Most of the food was good& some not ( Wilted lettuce salad & fatty beef tenderloin appetizer. Waitress was pretty overwhelmed, but barely sufficient-forgot mustard I asked for & not very attentive. The manager made us feel like we were a number to be moved along- even before receiving our bills. This visit was very unfortunate as the time before here was top notch.More

Some interesting regional food choices. Partner had pizza which was basically good. I had a rice pattie sandwich was to have cheese on....it has very little. So after adding the cranberry sauce and more cheese sauce I requested it was goo. But not great. Too...thick a patty and needs more than cheese sauce- needs melted cheese slices. Bread was very good.More

Disappointing. We expected better - food, service. Our waiter was overwhelmed by his work and we had to remind him to bring the glass of wine we ordered (when asked if it was Chilean, he said he did not know as he was only 20...and had not tried it!). The salmon salad sounded better than it was - very ordinary. Very noisy and room was uncomfortably cold - would not return.More

Fried avocado appetizer was very good. Broccoli appetizer was great, macaroni and cheese was above average, wild rice burger was average. Shroom burger was good. I was really IRKED BY THE RESTAURANT CHRGING $4.50 to use a credit card OR debit card. To me this...is a money grab and no place did they tell you about this fee ahead of time.More

We arrived today around 1215, we were seated at a table in the bar area. It took seven minutes for a server to arrive. She was sat two tables at once both being five people. She took our beverage order and we ordered an appetizer...after she asked. We ordered onion rings..after delivering our drinks she took our order for food. We ordered a salad with steak, rice bowl with salmon, fish and chips dinner, chicken wrap, and a bacon burger pink. We waited, and waited, and waited…server was scarse..food came out after 45 minutes. To start off one of the entrees was not for our table. Got that corrected, however my burger wasn’t pink as ordered. It was very well done. Server apologies for delay kitchen got slammed..I showed her my burger that it was well done. She asked if I wanted a new one…I didn’t want to be the last one eating. Sever said,it would quick..burger came out, server dropped it off and left.. it was hotter than the first..however it was well done again. Couldn’t find server until she presented the check, when she asked how it was. I showed her that it was well done as the first one. She sorry and left..came shortly after with some tavern bucks. Sad part we are not from Duluth and wouldn’t be back soon. No manger came over to check on us.. It was very disappointing since reviews were decent on lineMore

Our waiter was awesome! He chatted with us and gave us suggestions for things to do and check out in Duluth. The food was excellent. I will definitely return.

Dined at Tavern on the Hill Saturday night. They take reservations which was great since we had a large party. The menu had lots of options but not many healthy choices. The prices were high and the portions were small. They also charged a 3%...fee for the kitchen staff which only added to the poor value. The food was just ok and the service was slow. I won't return.More

We enjoyed the atmosphere of this bar near U of MN, Duluth. Our group of friends were seated quickly even though we didn't have a reseration. My cranberry margarita was huge and delicious. It took a little long for our food to arrive. One of...the appetizers was not hot when it came so I sent it back, but the server didn't charge us and also gave us a certificate for our next visit. I will consider going back because the outside patio area looked like a great spot for a summer visit.More

Terrible service, mediocre food. Took 10 minutes to get our drink order in and another 10 minutes to receive them. It wasn't busy at all on a Monday evening. Food was mediocre. Cheese curds looked like little bricks, and they weren't hot enough. Club sandwich...was just disappointing.More

Food was good, but #7 restaurant in Duluth? Seriously? We are not familiar with Duluth but arrived in an absolutely beautiful fall day with clear blue skies. The views around the city were spectacular. We chose this restaurant based on one reviewer that said there...were great views. Let’s get one thing straight: the only view from the restaurant is of a very busy four lane main thoroughfare. Absolutely no view of the stunning lake from the hill. What a disappointment! The food was decent and service was great, but if this is the number 7 restaurant in Duluth, then I worry about Duluth’s culinary scene! To be fair, the ambience is great (high end casual) and there should be someone on the menu for everyone.More

Visited with my wife during a recent trip through Duluth and glad we did. The restaurant was very nicely decorated and we sat outside during a beautiful afternoon. The outdoor seating area is full of real flowers and a very cozy place. Service was outstanding...and we both had a pasta bowl, we both loved them. The reviews are right, wonderful place to eat.More
