Cafes in Grand Marais

“I live everything about Java Moose!“

“Good service even though there was a breakfast rush. Nice atmosphere. Average food at best. We had a Denver omelet and Belgian waffle. Omelet was ok but the cook left out the ham. The waffles were below par, hard and served barely warm (butter wouldn’t melt on them).“

“The food here is amazing. I appreciated the selection of fresh and local ingredients. I like how they put everything on the same plate. It makes it feel cozy, like you’re eating at a family potluck. They also have several flavors of house-made sodas, which was a real treat. Everything came out real quick, too.

I’m taking off a star because I was disappointed to see that the kitchen is so open to the dining room. Maybe we were just sat at the worst spot, but I just expected more from a restaurant that’s on the upscale side (we paid over $100 for our dinner of 2, with only one drink each). And to get to the back dining room, you have to pretty much go through the kitchen to get there, it’s weird. It lowers the ambiance, and I’m sure the staff doesn’t appreciate costumers being able to watch (and hear) their every move, either.
