"Chef Scott Graden’s New Scenic Cafe, just north of Duluth on Highway 61, is a destination dining spot on the shores of chilly Lake Superior. This Scandinavian-influenced menu offers small plates like beet-cured gravlax and lobster salad; mains like sea scallops and Swedish meatballs, all served in a dreamy, cedar-paneled dining room where delicate birch trees arc across the ceiling. On summer evenings, grab a chair around the fire pit." - Cecilia Johnson, Justine Jones
