We decided to go here for the specials for Eat Downtown Duluth Restaurant Week and a birthday celebration. Service was terrible, it took 45 minutes to get just appetizers. The specials for Restaurant Week sounded good, but were nothing special, the stuffed shrimp was marginal at best, the lobster bisque soup was so so too, the roll that came with... More

Amazing food, amazing drinks, atmosphere is glamorous, I can't say enough about this place, there are very few classy places in Duluth and this is one of them. Only hard thing is there can be a long wait if you come with a large group of people on the weekend.

Upscale bar in the Greysolon building. Good martinis, but not great. Jazz entertainment. May go here again.

We were here recently for a small wedding reception. The service was excellent and genuine, not painted on. The choice of food and the quality is very good. I had the beef tips which weren't the best I've had but they were good. Menu prices were surprisingly good. The atmosphere is nice and cozy in here and as a bonus... More

Very nice lounge with darkwood paneling decor. Friendly staff awaits to make your visit satisfying. Live jazz music on a Tuesday nite when we were there. Very fresh sushi appetizers that I highly recommend trying. The selection of martinis is very good, but they will also custom make one to your liking. Martinis and sushi are half-price on Thursdays. Comfortable... More

Went to Blackwater two nights in a row with two different sets of friends. Everyone enjoyed the live music and the variety of beverages was mind boggling. Musicians provided fun live entertainment. We would definitely return.

Love the atmosphere, a little upscale, cool jazz, great apps, nice drinks. Upscale but not stuffy. Big comfy easy chairs, nice little corners to get lost in.

Bisque was awesome. Food overall was good. Service was only OK. Giving them props for being open over the holiday when everything else was closed.
