The service was incredible! In the area for a Northern Michigan college visit and our server is a student and in the same major.
Food was delicious. The cheese curds are a must. The space is beautifully festive!
The Orange Cardamom Espresso Martini is the best Espresso Martini!
The bloody mary was really good! I had high hopes for the tofu scramble. Honestly, I was impressed they had it! They have quite a few vegan options on their menus. The tofu scramble was not that good though. I was surprised to see sliced carrots in the scramble – a lot of them. There was also kale and I think mushrooms as well. I felt like there was only 1/16th of a block of tofu in this scramble. They plate it so it looks like there’s a lot, but it’s just the top layer. Tofu is the cheapest protein so I’m not sure why they’re stingy on the amount in the dish. The carrots did not make sense and there was way too many. The tofu scramble was seemingly unseasoned. The kale wasn’t the right leafy green for this scramble either. It wasn’t massaged or softened much, so it was not enjoyable to eat. The hot sauce gave the dish more flavor. I do feel like they put a lot of thought and effort into their vegan dishes, but the tofu scramble needs to be reworked.
I came back for dinner later in my trip, and it was much better. We ordered the falafel bites, harvest salad, and romesco pasta to share. Everything was incredible. If anything, the sauce that came with the falafel was too sweet and not really a sauce for falafel. The salad and pasta were delicious – no notes!
I recommend the falafel bites, hummus, and short rib bites. The Romenasco and Chicken Piccata pastas were good as well, but I’d encourage others to explore other options on the menu. On Thursdays they offer a date night special – 2 pastas for $40 & $10 off a bottle of wine. They also had jazz musician playing that evening!
The downside to this meal was the very poor service and our waitress who was ill (sniffling at our table all evening). We noticed that the waitress was overwhelmed, helping 8 tables by herself. She kept entering our table number incorrectly into the POS system resulting in us receiving other tables drinks and food. All together, the restaurant seemed to lack communication. For instance, the staff not mentioning they were out of pita until after we already received our hummus. It is clear that this restaurant is understaffed and may benefit from better hostess, kitchen, & waitstaff communication. Most of all – I hope management is encouraging their employees to take off if not well – as I woke up with the same sniffles as my waitress this morning…
The Delft is one of my favorite places to get quality drinks and food where you can genuinely see and taste the creativity and delight the staff and management put into every menu. Since I typically travel seasonally, I have the pleasure of trying the rotations in the menus. I am always excited to get back and see what’s new! With love from Duluth, MN. Thanks for the Vikre love over the years!
The bistro itself is adorable — set up inside an old movie theater with so much charm. There’s a chef viewing area where you can watch the kitchen in action, plus additional seating upstairs that adds to the cozy, intimate vibe.
The food was absolutely delicious. We ordered several dishes to share, and every single one impressed us. The mushroom pâté was incredibly smooth and delicate. The rib bites were tender and the sauce they were in was so good. The garlic hummus was flavorful and comforting. The lamb vindaloo was honestly one of the best things I’ve ever tasted — rich, bold, and perfectly balanced. The lamb ragu, a special pasta that night, was also fantastic.
I bake sourdough myself, so I’m a little picky about sourdough bread, but I have to say — theirs is pretty good!
Overall, The Delft Bistro is a charming, delicious, and memorable spot. We loved everything about our visit and would absolutely return.
