Others had a garden salad that they really enjoyed, another had a Caesar salad, also very good. The weather has been so hot that we weren't thinking of dessert.

She was very friendly and helpful, even though she was kept quite busy mixing drinks for the other diners. I ordered the Jagerschnitzel with a small side salad. The "small" salad was quite large and very fresh. I can't imagine how big the large salad is! My Jagerschnitzel was good. I would say I would have a lighter breading would have made it even better, but I'd still recommend. Tonight was a " Chamber of Congress" type evening in Houghton. I don't imagine 80 degree nights happen a lot way up here! The great weather brought a lot of people out and about enjoying the river walk and downtown. The restaurant had to limit the number of people seated because they must have been at capacity for their staff.

The staff were ever so friendly. Our server, Jenni, and the owner were both lovely to talk with about the restaurant, the area, and life. Joey's offers an excellent selection of locally sourced ingredients and happily, a huge gluten-free selection. The Michigan-based brew selection was also appealing; we tried several. Seating and decor were also welcoming. The aquarium was a sweet addition. Our food was delicious. The fish was delicate and moist. Coleslaw was cold crunchy and creamy. Crab & Artichoke dip was hot and creamy. And we even had dessert which included mud pie, key lime pie, and peanut butter pie; no photos as we were devouring them. Would love to return to Joey's.

Well my mistake as I gave them the wrong date. So we turn up when there was a pile of people who had made reservations - the manager was amazing - she was already so busy but she went out of her way and managed to get our party of 8 sorted and seated. The service was amazing , the food even better. The BEST prawns I have had outside of Australia - like amazing. My husbands chicken was really great as well - in fact all of our meals were cooked to perfection. Even when they were so busy with the graduation we were made to feel like we were fabulous. The band was great as were the cosmopolitans. The manager kept checking on us making sure we were ok and she was so so lovely. I highly recommend Bonfire , even under stressful conditions they gave the best service, drinks, food and ambience. And don't forget the great prawns I highly recommend this place , I'm definitely purely going again.

This is the local place I usually go for a grilled steak or a creative seasonal dinner special like Halibut or other fish. While I like almost everything on the menu, some things could be improved. Busy or slow, it routinely takes a very long time for service here. Therefore, service workers don't seem very guest focused, but the kitchen's food is good enough to keep me coming back, bringing new guests, and recommending the place. If the service and guest experience could be improved then this place would be amazing!!Ambiance is best in town. Can accommodate singles to huge groups for food and weekly music entertainment. Nicely serves food a little later at night for the area, until 10. No one: "service is always so fast here" But if you like longer enjoyable tasty meals like I do, then it's barely noticeable

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.
