Apostle Supper Club Duluth

Beautiful view and wonderful ambiance. The rotating restaurant makes it possible to see 360 degrees of the city while you dine. In the evening we thought the lighting could have been a touch dimmer but it was very nice. The Bentleyville Christmas lights were on and it really was a sight to see. Our evening meal was okay, but nothing to write home about. We returned in the morning for breakfast and take in the view during the day which was equally beautiful and the food (omelets) was delicious. Overall a wonderful time and I would recommend going at least once.

We tried dinner at the totally revamped JJ Astor’s…the Apostle Supper Club. To be completely clear, our visit was on the 6th day they were open. Always start with the positive. The management seems super pleasant. We’ll touch on that again later. The ambiance is also delightful. It’s still the normal rotating restaurant, with some tidily revamped decor. I love the midcentury vibe, furniture, and food choices. My grandma would have felt right at home here. The less-positive…they are definitely having opening kinks. The night we were there, they had double booked everyone due to a technology error. They were booking on two different reservation systems and yikes. They ended up having a paper waiting list for those of us who had reservations. We got a drink and sat in the “lounge”. Why I can’t be served food in the lounge is kind of beyond me. At least snacks? There were side tables with many of the seats and I feel that we could have been served, perhaps. We did get some drinks and settled in for our wait. The bartenders seemed overwhelmed and slow, and our drinks, although delicious were inconsistent. The first and second Tom Collins didn’t taste the same. The wait staff is…green. A table next to me tried to flag down a passing hostess (not a waitress) for salt, and she told them they needed to ask their server when she came back. Um, what? The waitress we had, however, was phenomenal. So, hit and miss. Once we were seated, our server got us settled with another cocktail and some fondue. It was delicious. Thick and tasty. My one complaint is that it was served with forearm-sized broccoli trees. Maybe some more bite-sized, eat with a fork foods? The salad that came with the entrees was sad. Wilted romaine and overripe tomatoes. But then entrees came! For entrees, we got the Chicken a Pickle and the Chicken Fried Lobster. Both were delicious and generously portioned. If I was to order one again, it would be the chicken. The pickles taste like they’re made in house and the chicken was juicy and delectable. In short, I think they’re having some opening kinks. I think it will be great after a little time to settle in to their groove. I’ll be back though.

Visited on Sunday, 10/31, for brunch. I would give this place a 5-star but the not-so-nice host messed with our experience. Our waitress was very sweet, she checked up on us and made sure we had everything we needed. The food was good, we ordered an omelet, French toast and eggs Benedict. The English muffin I had was a bit sour (tasted old) but the eggs, potatoes and sauce were good. We want to come back soon to try dinner.

My husband and I wanted to have a nice anniversary dinner and decided to give JJ Astor a chance. We are so glad we did. Our server Tony was very attentive and did a wonderful job. Our steaks were delicious but had a little bit more fat than you would expect for the price. I can imagine it's hard to get quality meats at this point and time so I understand. When our server found out that we were celebrating our anniversary he offered us a dessert which we graciously accepted. The chef Dan made us a special spooky Halloween dessert complete with chocolate bats. Overall it was a great experience and we look forward to coming back.

Cozy atmosphere with awesome views! We wanted something light and fresh to start off our meal. Tony our server recommended the Crudité. It consisted of assorted Vegetables, Pickles and Olives with Toasted Sunflower Seed Dressing. The sunflower butter was amazing and made the vegetables pop! For dinner we had The 8oz. filet mignon and it was good but we also ordered the Yabba Dabba Do and that was phenomenal! Braised Beef Long Rib in Beefy Whiskey Glaze and Seared Wild Mushrooms. The whiskey glaze was memorable and the meat was tender and melted in your mouth. Sides were the au gratin potatoes. It was like a lasagna made of potatoes very very good. However the best part of the night and our experience came from our server Tony! He was friendly and knowledgeable and made awesome recommendations to make our dinner experience top notch. If you go here to eat be sure to ask for Tony to be your server… he is a valuable asset to this restaurant!
