One of Ely's best
This is one of my favorite restaurants in Ely. Unfortunately only open during the "busy" season (summer), the rustic indoor setting and outdoor seating only adds to the reasonably-priced and delicious menu. Some (delicious) vegetarian dishes are available and Penfold's wine is offered. Special quiche, pizza and soup change daily. Service is the typical relaxed Ely type, but what's your hurry, anyway?    [06 May 2004 13:15:36]

other wise you got a cup of milk
over all the food was very good

Not what you expect in the woods!
My favorite restaurant is the Chocolate Moose. We live in Rochester, MN and have a cabin 45 minutes from Ely. I require my family to take a trip to Ely with me every summer. Plan to wait for a table in this cabin like restaurant. It is that popular and the food is fresh and great! The menu is something you would expect in the yuppie part of the Twin Cities. Be sure to try a dessert. They won't give out recipes, I've tried.    [07 Jun 2006 15:25:40]
