We're spending 8 days in Houghton in our motorhome. We really enjoyed the entire experience. Our server was attentive and friendly. The menu covers all the bases. Servings are plentiful, in fact we brought a portion of each meal home. If we lived in the area, this would definitely be our go-to for Italian. I suggest you read the history of this restaurant. Back to the bread....most of the pasta is made in-house. Maybe they should make their bread in-house. It wasn't terrible and was very edible, but lacking. Do NOT let my bread comment prevent you from going to Gino's. You will enjoy it. Highly recommend.

You should definitely make a reservation if you have a party larger than two. The menu is pretty simple. I got a pesto pasta dish. It was very good. It was the right sized portion to be filling but not to make you overly full. The house salad was just ok. I liked the rolls they served and wished we could have gotten more of them! They came out minutes before our entrées, probably because of how busy it was. They definitely need more servers in my opinion.

Crust is chewy and hard to bite through, and the sauce is very acidic. They have the right idea with the oven they use, but the execution is unfortunate. Also, the bartender has zero personality and quickly made an exciting first experience feel dull. Lastly, we called in an order for 7:00, and they didn't start our order until 20 minutes after we called in, so we waited around a bit for our food. That would have been fine if the food tasted a bit better, but it was just a disappointing experience.

Our servers were attentive and helpful, however, we had to wait for almost an hour for the food to arrive given their adequately staff. Hubby ordered the Den burger with burger and I had the shrimp ragotoni. I enjoyed the homemade pasta but the entree was a bit heavy with the cream sauce but it does have great flavors. Love they have KBC beers on tap and the blueberry ale was very refreshing. Overall, this is a solid choice in downtown Houghton with lakeside view and good menu options. Do keep in mind that prices are a bit high given it's in the UP. Also, you pay extra for protein in pasta entrees as well as bread in appetizers that's usually included.

The server told us the specials for the day, and I remember there being a LOT - almost as much as what was on the regular menu! We almost got the chicken wings special, but we ordered the burrata caprese appetizer and added prosciutto for $4. It was good! For entrees, I ordered the duck breast, which seems to be a staple item from here. I ordered it medium rare and it was definitely medium at best, but still tender. It is not a huge portion, and I would've like the skin crispier, but the meat itself had great flavor. It sits on a bed of parsnip puree with a blood orange reduction (a little too sweet and too much of it on the plate for me) and sauteed spinach. It left me just satisfied enough, but still a bit hungry. My fiancé got the flank steak, which was probably around 8 oz but the menu doesn't list it, with french fries and some sauteed vegetables. He said he was actually pleased with the type, portion, and cook on the vegetables. The french fries are that "old-fashioned" style, which I really like! And the chimichurri sauce was fresh and flavorful. The service was mid - sometimes it was fairly quick and attentive, other times we felt like we were waiting a long time to be tended to. For a more local, seasonal, "farm-to-table"-esque meal, this is probably the closest you will get in Houghton. The front desk at our hotel said she heard this restaurant was pricey/expensive, but I thought it was pretty fair!

We also shared the texas fajitas for 2 (steak, chicken and shrimp - comes with 2 plates of 3 flour tortillas, rice, refried beans, pico de gallo, sour cream, and a little guacamole).

It was plenty busy for being located on top of a mountain a few miles outside of town. But it was prime leaf peeping time, so I guess there were still a lot of tourists. Unfortunately due to this set up, they are only open from spring until fall (which in the Upper Peninsula might be kind of short!) You order through one window and wait for your number to be called and pick it up at different window. Many types of fish to choose from and it's prepared pretty quick. My wife and I got the same thing, Cod. Which was pretty good, but in hindsight, one of use should have gotten the Whitefish (local) so we could have tried it. Next time? Fries (chips) were good too. Very interesting place. Worth a try!
