We are seriously cosidering sending this restaurant a bill for our valuable vacation time…read more I thought we hit the jackpot for dinner after a long drive. The place looked inviting, and authentic, and the person working at the register in the bar area was friendly and helpful. But... much to our chagrin, the place was noisy, the food was awful, and the service worse. We order the stuffed portabella mushroom and the grill chicken with Michigan cherries chutney. The mushroom was blah - tasteless. The chicken tasted like airplane food, served with 6 super thin overcooked lame, pathetic, and meager asparagus spears, and an extra side of frozen veggies which were uncooked and blase - no kidding peppers were warm, and broccoli florets super cold. Adding insult to injury, Patty, our server was awful. She was not attentive, served our appetizer and disappeared for over 15 minutes without taking the rest of our order. She forgot the garlic bread that came with the main meal and she Literally threw the two plates with the chicken on our table. Oh, and the Old Fashioned was super sweet and super red, my guess they added grenadine yikes! Out of my over 400 reviews I had never written such negative one. Avoid this place at all cost.

I would have given five stars, but the bread was only OK. Everything else was very good…read more While getting a haircut at The Barber Shop in Houghton, Carol recommended Gino's. 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.

I had hoped for a locally caught Golden fried Whitefish filet unfortunately it was just a standard square fish patty , fries were okay , service was alright , ambiance left a bit to be desired. All in all the experience was a bit of a letdown. I guess I had imagined something a little more Dreamy.

We were greeted by three servers when we walked in , it put a smile on our faces…read more We got a table right away and our drink orders were taken. A mix of mostly locals and some campers and boaters (we came by boat and parked at the Dreamland dock). Clean restaurant and bathrooms (always appreciated). We ordered the special: fried chicken with past. My husband loved the combo. The pasta sauce was soooooo goooood. Ordering that as a stand-alone dish would be a winner too. The chicken was fried very nice! The sandwich was one of their famous ones but I don't remember the name. It's the last one on the menu. Our friends love this and always come here for it. I got the whitefish. It was delicate and moist. I was a little bummed that the tartar sauce was not homemade because I bet they'd do a great job at it. Instead it was a premade sauce. Great service. Friendly atmosphere. Nice porch to sit on the rocker after dinner and chill for a bit before heading back to the boat. Did I mention how cool- and unique - a public dock that takes you to a restaurant on the Portage is?! 10 points for that alone!

I'm told that the best Thank You notes are not written the next day. That's what this feels like,…read morefor we had an amazing experience for our 29th (!!) wedding anniversary. We knew a bit about the restaurant beforehand (I stopped in over the summer to buy a gift certificate), but this was our first time dining. We've had family style dinner before and, honestly, we're very open-minded eaters. We didn't even read a menu and let the staff take care of us. It turns out that we were in very good hands. The service is very attentive and friendly. We joked with our server as we learned about the menu and asked questions. It was a perfect mix of information and 'let us show you more.' The restaurant itself is sizeable with a few areas perfect for larger groups. We were seated at a high top, which felt a bit like the cat-bird seat. We were able to see everything and people watch without being rude or obtrusive. Seeing how others reacted to the food - and getting a preview before ours arrived - was fun and informative at the same time. The tricky part of this recap is the fact that the menu is very fluid. I can tell you how amazing the antipasto was - the memory of the caper berries still makes my mouth water - but your plate may arrive with completely different items. The adventure is trying things that either you've never had before or not in this preparation. Simply put, I recommend the prix fixe family dinner. Let yourself be guided by the food and try everything in front of you. That said, we learned that the kitchen makes their favorites on Saturday nights, so you might have a chance to enjoy the silky gnocchi or the sublime orecchiette. Since Strega Nonna offers kitchen courses, I am keeping an eye on the schedule in hopes of recreating something that we enjoyed or learning something completely new to me. The music was very enjoyable and did not impede conversation. It was the perfect backdrop for our food adventure, allowing us to chat about the restaurant and food or simply enjoy the tastes while listening. Thank you to everyone at Strega Nonna that made our anniversary so special. We're thrilled to have you in Negaunee and look forward to taking more 'tours' with your food and fun!

You gotta know that the extra star for good dranks comes along when there's free popcorn, too!…read moreSmokin'Hubster is all about the popcorn and practically raves about its availability at Smarty's. We first popped in here during the Irontown Classics Car Show. The rain was just starting and we ducked in. The place was rather busy afterward, so I was glad that we scored some seats at the bar. The patrons there are friendly right off the bat (and have been so for every visit afterward). Everyone loves to talk about the sports that are on the TV (there are quite a few TVs at Smarty's!), as well as discuss the area happenings. We have been made to feel welcome, with genuine smiles and greetings every time we walk in. As an NMU Wildcat, I really love that they show the 'Cats in action whenever they're televised. I've really missed being here in the Yoop, so glad to call Smarty's my local watering hole.
