Miijim

We really enjoyed all the food we tried (about half the menu). Giving the atmosphere 4/5 because we sat on the patio and I’d say it’s a standard patio. Though they played music that I personally enjoyed very much. Inside looked very nice, and when we come back, I’ll be getting a reservation.
Had excellent interactions with several staff members. Can’t wait to return!

I had a lovely dining experience last night!! I made a reservation for the four of us two days before without issue, and definitely recommend that over a walk in. We ended up trying the entire menu, minus the rabbit due to its popularity that evening. Highlights for us were probably the venison loin, manoomin hash, and the hominy, but really our entire meal was amazing and unique. Our server gave us a great explanation of the menu and was attentive and sweet throughout the service. I highly recommend giving Miijim a visit next time you find yourself island bound :))

First time having Native American food, and we were not disappointed! Food, service, and atmosphere was excellent! This was a perfect restaurant for our date night.
Try dessert! Not what we expected, and we LOVED IT!

Niimiigwechiwendam! I am thankful! The menu when I dined there was about 5 proteins and 5 sides on the menu. Tapas style dining, shared plates is the way to go so you can try some of everything. The portion sizes are modest, don’t expect a pile of food for one menu item. Very tradish and elevated Ojibwe cuisine. Expect seasonal vegetables, mushrooms, berries, proteins and starches. I had the bison plate, rabbit plate, and the hominy plate. I can taste my ancestors in these dishes, which is grounding and exciting because we don’t have Ojibwe cuisine in restaurants around here…yet. The chaga mole on the hominy was tasty af. But the real winner in my opinion, the strawberry moon dessert. HOWAH! That sunflower mousse had so much flavor and the rhubarb was the perfect texture. It had a light crunch and the strawberries were sweet and just danced with the pumpkin seeds and salt. It was a fabulous meal!

Made reservations, great atmosphere. I highly recommend for couples or 4-6 ppl. This isn’t a place I’d bring a hungry family with kids after a day out adventuring on the island or a large group without a reservation. It is a sweet, small space. Intentionally designed to be intimate and put out food at a steady pace without being crowded.

Every so often i have a meal that i just can’t stop thinking about–this was one of those experiences. Each of our five plates we got were unique, thoughtful, and delicious, unlike anything i’ve had outside of the cities. It’s incredibly refreshing see a restaurant in a small town that takes risks and serves food from an under-appreciated cuisine that is creative both in flavors and presentation. This coupled with the significance of a native restaurant on the island and the history of the area makes Miijim truly an incredible experience. Go in with an empty stomach and an open mind and enjoy. The braised rabbit and manoomin hash are a great place to start.
