The Nautical Nest, Duluth

Though its name might suggest otherwise, The Nautical Nest boasts not standard fishy fare but a comprehensive menu of freshly crafted sandwiches and hearty salads. The eatery, helmed by a customer-focused family, celebrates all things nautical with its marine-themed decor and sunny outdoor patio. Wait staff complete the scene with sandwiches stacked high with freshly sliced Boar’s Head meats paired with gouda cheese and thick slices of avocado and tomatoes.

When not assembling restaurant meals, the deli afficiandos at The Nautical Nest prepare sweeping trays of catered breakfast, lunch, and appetizers. They adorn platters with cheese samples, freshly baked muffins, or a treasure trove of sandwiches stuffed with roast beef, ham, or turkey.
