The fish of the day was grilled lake trout and it was cooked to perfection and served up with a fresh and tasty salad, wild rice, and grilled asparagus. My wife got the pasta option instead of the wild rice. The window seat offered an unobstructed view of Lake Superior. Service was friendly. Portions are generous. When the warmer temperatures finally arrive, the outdoor seating on the dock will be an added plus to the dining experience.
They have unobtrusive air purifiers scattered throughout the indoor space and helpful spacing between tables. They clearly care about the peace of mind and well-being of those who dine there.
Note: they automatically add 20% to the final bill for all purchases that is then shared with the staff. There is no need to add an additional tip to the meal. If I had a complaint or recommendation to make to the owners, it would be to simply add the 20% to the menu items and tell customers that it is a no-tip restaurant. A mandatory 20% gratuity seems a complicated way to do this.
Great restaurant right down on the harbor. The staff was very friendly and the view was awesome. The food was very good. I had the fish and chips, made with fresh caught Herring from the lake that morning. Herring? It was really good. They also make their own soda. The diet cola had a unique taste that was really yummy.
The one down side was the entrance. While it is wheelchair accessible, you have to walk down a long, weaving walkway. I was with people who don't walk like they used to. It was difficult for them
I still strongly recommend this restaurant. Enjoy!
Always amazing food and service even if you have to wait for it! The grilled whitefish sandwich with waffle fries is the best! Tartar sauce has dill in it which is lovely. Even their salad is always great!
After eating mostly greasy diner food up the north shore, we stopped in because of the amazing salad pictures. Wow. They did not disappoint. Fish of the day was fresh lake trout, paired with an incredible mustard dressing and humongous fresh greens salad. The outside seating was clean and breezy, the perfect place drink a pot of tea while we waited for the food to come out.
There is an automatic 20% gratuity added to all orders, so we didn’t feel the need to tip additionally. Staff were great and friendly, and one the the few places where masks were still consistently worn indoors by workers.
I don’t want to give this place an awesome review, because that means more people will go there and make it even harder for me to get a table…sigh…
Anyways - what a meal! Fresh Lake Herring (fried or grilled, I chose fried) on a bed of wild rice, seasonal greens and asparagus. *chefs kiss*
It was a perfect meal. Amazing view. Excellent service (our server was welcoming, attentive and drinks/food arrived rapidly).
I’d give it 6 stars if I could. Not to be missed when in GM.
Never disappointed. Amazing fresh food and wonderful atmosphere with great staff! Came to celebrate our wedding anniversary (we were there 12 years ago to celebrate another anniversary). Can't wait to come again!
Lots of people have recommended Angry Trout Cafe to us as a must-eat when in Grand Marais so naturally, we had to go. We went on a Saturday morning and were seated right away beside the window with a lovely view of Lake Superior. We ordered their fried oyster appetizer, fish tacos & shrimp tacos. They misheard the shrimp as shiitake but promptly fixed it for us which was nice. Everything tasted fresh and the place reflects how much the owners and staff take care of the cafe.
Very popular restaurant and well worth the wait time! We skipped rocks into the lake and watched people do the same as we were on vacation and in no hurry!😀 Enjoyed the seagulls, rock skippers, Lake Superior, eating outside, friendly servers, healthy food, and a laid back atmosphere is what we were looking for during our vacation in Minnesota/Canada. If a person is in a hurry, maybe you need to check out a fast food place!
