Green Mill

Green Mill - Lake Ave, Duluth, MN

How can I ever think of making a list of restaurants and leave out Green Mill? It was a mecca for us for 2 years. I and my friends have consistently eaten, drank, hung out, had parties, celebrated birthdays [and enjoyed half price appetizers and drinks after 10pm] at Green Mills .. for close to two years. We would brave the Duluth cold winters and make the trip to Green Mills every Friday. Being the students that we were .. we would inevitable reach at 10pm .. to order our half price appetizers and drinks! Many a meals here constituted of just that .. obviously along with large quantities of their mind-numbingly delicious and addictive cucumber sauce. In fact we ourselves, and our orders were so regular that the waitresses would include a large bowl of the cucumber sauce by default. Sigh .. of the days gone by .. groups of 10 and more .. friends showing up without planning.. invented desserts (we often had them make a special dessert for us as the kitchen used to close after 10:45).

I have almost no recollection of the restaurant itself .. as we always sat at the bar. The appetizers are delicious. I highly recommend the Chicken Quesadillas (with the cucumber sauce), the crab cakes and the spinach dip. Sandwiches and pizzas are quite good (and popular) too. The service is good .. all the servers are quite friendly and accommodative to special requests. Overall a fun place to hang out.
