Great food, staff and atmosphere!

We loved our food so much we went back for a second visit during our vacation.

Everything was delicious. Our servers were great, and parking was a convenient.

My only suggestion would be to indicate what is vegan on the menu so guests don't have to ask to confirm or guess.

Pros: Food, Friendly staff, Menu is available online

Cons: Vegan items weren't marked on the menu

Great vegan burgers

Not a whole lot of vegan options but their beyond burgers are great. Their sweet potato fries are amazing. I like the atmosphere in the restaurant. Friendly staff as well.

Pros: Vegan burgers

Cons: Expensive

So Happy You’re Here

Living in Ely, it is great to have a “go to” that always has something delicious available for everyone - regardless of dietary restrictions. Thanks Insula! Wish the app would allow a 5-star rating!

Modern North Woods dining

Whether your party is strictly vegan or includes omnivores, there are delicious options available. The tempeh was excellent, salad dressings are house-made, and they have beyond burger patties available. Many of their ingredients are sourced locally, and the menu is clearly marked for vegetarian, gluten-free, and nut-free options. Modifications are available if you ask, and in some cases aren’t even necessary to get a delicious vegan meal.

The decor is a modern twist for Northern Minnesota that doesn’t feel out of the place in Ely, yet would also look great in the Twin Cities as well. Despite the place being busy during my visit, service was friendly and efficient.

Pros: Tasty vegan options with local sourcing, Friendly service , Menu notes vegetarian, gluten-free, and nut-free

Cons: No items marked vegan; only vegetarian
