    This is the Brussel sprouts. Not bad, but nothing to go Gaga over.
    Amanda G.

    The view was amazing...and that's about it. The food was meh, the drinks...meh, the service? The 2 servers on duty are completely overwhelmed and only stopped by our table to ask us why we wanted and to deliver our food. Took for ever to flag them down to get the check. The place was FREEZING!!! Each table is directly under a vent that blows nothing but cold subzero air. If you just want a cocktail at the bar after a night out, it's not a bad place, but will not seek it out in the future. I'd rather go to The Library.

    Great views

    On 7th floor of the Hampton Inn. Really gorgeous lounge with GREAT views of the water, bridge and Hancock. Very nice cocktail menu and a few small plates. Service was very good.

    They were out of a lot of the items on the menu. The view was nice. But very disappointing about not having food items.

    I just now remembered that I needed to leave a review. I didn't take a picture of my two delicious…read morefish tacos. Coming from Los Angeles and living here for about five years. It's been kind of rough finding a place to enjoy food that is fresh and not overpriced. I avoided this restaurant because I don't go out to eat Italian food being Italian. I'm super picky and I make enough Italian food at home that I like to go out and eat things that I don't normally make myself. But a friend of mine wanted to go there so we did and I'm so glad! I walked in and saw the black tablecloths and thought well it's probably gonna be overpriced and like most Italian restaurants I'm not gonna like the food but I will enjoy the company. The menu is filled with so many non-Italian options. Watching the food come out of the kitchen and go to different tables. It was hard because everything looked so good and presented so well. I hadn't had fish tacos in about a year other than the ones I've made at home and mine are not the greatest! Haven't figured out the sauce yet anyway these were unlike anything I've ever tried before, but definitely delicious. I ordered french fries because it came with chips which I thought was kind of weird. It still is kind of an odd option to go with fish tacos, but my girlfriend across the table for me got these homemade chips so much that she had to take them home and they're delicious! French fries were fine. They weren't anything over the top special but they were good dipped in their homemade blue cheese! So good! After everybody got there first entrée, I was so hungry and watching her eat her side salad I ordered one. It's not huge, but it's fresh and it's four dollars! Seriously I couldn't believe how good it was. I love blue cheese and when she told me it was homemade I was skeptical. Definitely delicious. All three of us really enjoyed our food. Our waitress was real attentive. The restaurant was not overly full, but it was busy. The inside is clean and beautiful. I found another gem! There's not many of them here, but this is definitely one of them! Looking forward to my next date night I'm gonna get my hubby to try it. He's gonna love this place.

    My husband and I went to Gino's twice during our stay in Hancock. Our first visit I ordered the…read morespaghetti/meat ravioli combo. Spaghetti was good, the ravioli was very tasty, a light flavor of nutmeg in the meat was a pleasant surprise. The roll had a flaky crust, and fresh and soft inside. My husband ordered the Korean Barbecue sandwich and loved it. The bread impressed him, and he's not a bread guy. Our second visit I ordered the Cudighi sausage sandwich, and again enjoyed the seasonings and bread. I ordered sweet potato fries, they were crisp and tasty. My husband ordered Philly cheese steak sandwich with waffle fries. The sandwich was decent. The waffle fries were crispy, but could have used more seasoning. If you're hungry, this is a good place to eat!

    When I needed to make hotel reservations for a two night stay in Houghton, I decided between the…read moreHoliday Inn Express and the Country Inn and Suites. My experience during the last stay has convinced me that I made the wrong choice in picking the Holiday inn Express. Although check-in was fast, the room we were given had a view of a rock pile, and the clock did not work. Had to ask for another room. Was given a room with a nice view. Second day, housekeeping never came to our room. When I asked the clerk about it was told they left for the day. Had to ask for a new room. Given a room with an upgrade (or so I thought). Upgraded room had serious problems with the toilet- appeared partially blocked. Fortunately we were out of there the following day. In all three rooms, the chairs squeaked, and beds seemed like they were from a flophouse. TV didn't even carry ABC. Breakfast was OK - the cinnamon rolls were the only bright spot. The front desk clerk was very helpful despite the circumstances. Never used the pool - but looked like it needed a resurfacing. Learned my lesson - Country Inn and Suites - next time. Hope its better than what I just experienced.

This holiday inn was a good choice. ask about military discounts if that applies. We stayed on the 3rd flood and it was quiet and the black out shade worked like a boss. We couldn't believe how late we slept. The complimentary breakfasts are always appreciated. there was a small indoor pool. The staff were very helpful .. they even had a dry erase board with suggestions for local things to do, restaurants and bars. Nice touch. chaise lounge with adjustable table was comfie and nice touch. long desk if you are doing business stuff. they didn't have little bottle of amenities .. full large size bottles attached to the wall.
