Our Location in Duluth

Our restaurant is located east of downtown Duluth, a short walk from The Lakewalk, two blocks east of the historic Fitger’s building. The views from our dining areas are hard to beat, and with our open-air outdoor Grotto, you can be even closer to Lake Superior.

Superior Seating

Located along Superior Street, downtown Duluth’s main thoroughfare, we have outdoor tables perfect for a beverage or meal while you enjoy the lively car, bicycle and foot traffic outside. Dogs are welcome at these tables.
