    Bang Bang shrimp special
    Tiffany Z.

    Really cool place inside. Service is super friendly and quick. Reservations are for sure recommended and luckily someone suggested that to us ahead of time so we were prepared too. Really good menu options and they have specials on Fridays (not sure if it's a weekly think or only Friday) and we both got the Bang Bang shrimp bowl and our two other friends got a full slab of ribs with Carolina Gold sauce. It's a mustard based BBQ sauce and it is finger licking good! I really liked all the fresh ingredients in everything they made. Good drink selection, full liquor setup and bartender was knowledgeable and really nice. It was just a great vibe in there. You get the feeling that everyone knows everyone but if you're an outsider, you don't feel like one. If you're in the Keweenaw, make it a point to stop and have a bite.

    Very clean and friendly place. I had their special, which was a Spicy Chicken Sandwich along with their homemade chips. I'm telling you, this sandwich was the perfect amount of spice along with a surprisingly slight smoky flavor from the bacon. I also had their Dill Pickle Soup. Never having it before , I wasn't sure what to expect, but it was fantastic. It's sort of like a potato soup, but pickley. I would definitely order this again. And, when we are back in the UP, this will definitely be one of our stops.

    Braised Beef Poutin
    Tiffany V.

    My husband and I were happy to find Glacia Tavern while looking for a place to eat in Mohawk. The poutine was a great appetizer and the serving was huge! I ordered the Creamy Chicken Bowl and it was to die for. It's a bed of jasmine rice with artichoke hearts & sun dried tomatoes in a fantastic cream sauce and topped with charbroiled chicken breast and parmesan cheese. You won't be disappointed if you try it! My husband ordered the ribs and they were good but nothing to write home about. They were tender which was great! We thought they should've tasted smokier and maybe had some crisp on the outside. The salad that came with our meals so very fresh, cold and tasty. They don't make any of their dressings in house but the ranch and the balsamic dressing were both very good. Our daughter had chicken strips and fries which was also really good. The Chicken strips are homemade with buttermilk and panko. SO DELICIOUS!!! No draft beer as of currently but they have a great beer & cider selection. The entire place was clean and tidy. The service was very great! I have an infant so I always hope for bathrooms to be clean, kid friendly and have a changing table. Not only do they have a very clean bathroom and changing table, they also have diapers, wipes, lotion and tampons for any mom and child in need. How awesome is that. We will gladly be back the next time we travel to the area and you should too!

The food is absolutely incredible -- every dish is crafted with so much care and flavor that it keeps us coming back again and again. But what makes Harbor Haus unforgettable is the people. Lisa and George are two of the sweetest, most welcoming humans you'll ever meet. From the moment you walk in, they make you feel like you're part of their family. The entire staff is just as wonderful -- warm, attentive, and genuinely happy to see you. There's a feeling here that you simply can't find anywhere else. We love coming to see them, and we love everything about this place. Harbor Haus is the heart of Copper Harbor, and we hope it never leaves. It's a gem, a tradition, and a home away from home. If you're anywhere near Copper Harbor, do yourself a favor and go. You'll be treated like family, fed like royalty, and you'll leave already planning your next visit.

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!

Days of travel; each breath that exited our gelid nostrils could likely be our last. And there she stood. A divine messenger, luminous in the dismal twilight. Her name.....was Carmelita. Of our band of nomadic travelers, Father Rose was the worst off. His life nearly lost from the blistering hypothermia. Doctors from Grand Rapids later confirmed his saving grace. One word: Thimbleberry. The hostesses assisted us in changing out of our twisted, ragged robes. With fresh blankets, they wrapped us tightly. In the kitchen, retired Michelin chefs performed a similar action, wrapping world famous wet burritos. The aroma of freshly sliced vegetables, carne asada seared golden, filled the impeccable cookhouse. The dancing flames of the fireplace lies in the heart of Carmelita. Her warm breath nursing our bodies back to life. Crackling pine, a line of rosy sparks travels upward. We watch the show as we pack our growling bellies. Fajitas and quesadillas so exquisite, each bite began to mend the void deep inside our hearts. The caretakers offered us lodging, but we felt we mustn't overstay our welcome. Oh Carmelita, keeper of the flame. We will return, though the snows swallow the roads and the winds forget our names.

He made several recommendations, including Portside. It was excellent. Food and service were excellent. We are a product of the South and dont have much whitefish and walleye available. I had the walleye sticks appetizer with an order of fries and my wife had the whitefish cakes. Both were delicious. Fries were obviously hand-cut and large; also very hot. Our server was great! The best part of the meal was the BREAD STICKS! It appeared that the sticks are baked in a round pattern, like a pizza, and then cut into sticks. They were so hot, I couldn't hold them until they cooled a little bit. The accompanying spread was excellent; also marinara sauce. One could make a meal from the bread sticks. The vibe was pleasantly rustic. We decided on a booth instead of seats at the bar. Again, our server was great. The guy who brought out the bread sticks was equally good.

We rarely sit outside but this patio beckoned and we were helpless to resist. There's even outdoor seating available if you arrive before the restaurant is open! Silas brought us menus and took drink orders right away. We enjoyed the season's first shandies while exploring the menu. His attention was perfect and we shared some laughs each time he returned to our table. Neither one of us wanted to share (I guess) so we each ordered our own appetizers. I can never get enough smoked whitefish spread... until it's ALL MINE! I enjoyed every bite and would do it again. Patrick ordered the walleye strips and he did offer me a bite (generous devil that he is). They were perfectly crisp without being heavy or greasy. If I had known that... nah, I'd still get the whitefish. We'll be back to visit The Portside and try more menu items. Who knows, maybe we'll split something next time?
