I loved their take on whitefish, which was lightly breaded with a creamy red pepper sauce, heavenly! It was accompanied by steamed asparagus, lightly sautéed arugula, and fingerling potatoes. I took a slice of key lime pie to go. Reservations are highly recommended, especially if you want a table right by the window. But honestly, there isn't a bad seat in the restaurant. I got the sense they want to turn the tables fairly quickly, so if you'd like to linger, I suggest heading outdoors for a walk along the beach.

The interior doesn't retain much charm of the rich history it claims. The service was at a snail pace (we saw tables with more people ate their food and left way before us)! Then there is the mediocre food again we come to learn in Houghton. The Ahi tacos lacked flavor besides the wasabi taste. The shredded coleslaw mix was piled up high to disguise the tiny amount of tuna buried underneath! Husband got the Italian pasta with shrimp. The $3 up charge for burned garlic bread was insane! But again, this is expected in Houghton. You get charged extra for protein and bread when they're usually included in the meal! Guess this is standard in the UP. Overall, this is definitely NOT worth the hype! If you're looking for historic character then you need a different restaurant. Would not recommend it!

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.

It is a small restaurant but we were seated right away. They sell baked goods and ice cream at the front counter. Their menu is all fairly priced. We each built an omelette; you choose 1 meat, 1 cheese, and as many of the vegetable items as you want. My fiancé ordered all of the veggies, except for olives, and they forgot spinach but he didn't bother mentioning it. I enjoyed the bread - different from most other sourdough I've had, but I really liked the density and chewiness of it. I think it'd be great for a breakfast sandwich! I also wanted to try the pannukakku for the first time. It was a bit dry and underwhelming; I thought the custard would shine through more. But the jam was tasty and I used it on toast the next day!
