Then the attentive waitress brought the dessert tray, and I couldn't believe it, but we all ordered dessert and coffee. A very pleasant way to spend time with folks you like. I can't wait to go back. I can't wait until relatives and friends from California come to visit; the Whistling Bird Cafe is topmost on the agenda of places to share on the Iron Range. Excellent! Look up their website for their history and a preview of the great menu. I highly recommend making a reservation as the word is out and this is a very popular eatery. less
