If I am going to spend my money, I want to spend it at places with people who truly care about the food. The Scenic does it every time! This roasted red pepper soup and lobster éclairs were done to perfection. It was also relaxing to be there post-tourist season! I'll be back soon!

Waitstaff was amazing and food was great!!
Major shoutout to our waiter: we were there on the 5th around 4pm with a tall gentleman with tattoos. He did a phenomenal job! We decided to try something new and get a burger *just in case*… he must of overheard us and came over with the burger split up for us. It’s small things like that, that set this place apart!

The pastries, view and kind (but overworked) staff are acceptable here. Unfortunately for all else this place presents itself as something it’s not. The quality of the food is disappointing, the chefs are working hard but are not trained for the type of food they are serving. The menu is deceiving as you think you will get a high quality meal from prices and then you end up getting food that has sat out with low grade ingredients.

Great location and atmosphere! The food however was mediocre and very overpriced in my opinion. Lobster “roll” sandwich on some dry old bun was not good and $30! Other items turned out to be sandwiches as well for the price of real entrees. And, automatic adding of tip is very irritating when food is already overpriced. Easy to double pay tip that way and really get a bad deal. I think I stick to pastries and coffee if I go back again. No more $30 mediocre sandwiches I think. Great location is only reason to go however. Definitely not the food quality.

We have been dining at the cafe for a few years and are always impressed with the quality of the food, the scallops and crunchy fish were both very tasty and the french toast was the perfect way to end dinner. Adam has taken care of us a number of times and he always does a great job. Thank you everyone at the cafe!

Absolutely a must Stop! ? I cannot believe I've drove by so many times and did not know such a gem sits right on Superior. My friend and I stopped by to grab something on the way up to Lutsen. We loved the atmosphere, service and the FOOD that we decided to have the same stop on the way back and it was not a disappointment. We tried soup, lobster éclairs, and Norwegian Salmon.
We can't get close to or drive by this place without stopping every time we're in the area. We come up from the cities a couple times a year and this is always a must at least once. Never been disappointed in the food and service is always great plus you have awesome views of the lake! The fig starter is a must. Get the French onion soup when they have it. Most recently got the rack of lamb and it's was amazing.
Parking: They have a large free lot on site
Kid-friendliness: Kids menu has French toast, grilled cheese, cheese burger, chicken tenders, Mac n cheese and they all come with a drink, apple sauce and chips

Right across from Lake superior. Scandinavian vibe. Inside is wood paneled and cute. Outdoor fire pit and garden area with picnic tables. Service was friendly and fast. Chicken pate was excellent - served with a fruit compote. Crispy Fish sandwich the best fish sandwich I ever had.
