    Cool sliding closet door

    As a couple of alumni back in town for the weekend, we were honestly hoping the Ambassador or Library would be open but no luck. Turned out definitely OK because yelp steered me here and lunch was quite good! I can't pass up nachos so did mine up with pork, mild salsa and guacamole. Could've used twice the amount of salsa but it was very good, tangy and fresh and between that and the guacamole I was quite happy with the decision. One of the kiddos got tacos; tasty but way over-cheesed! Burrito was "fine" per the hubs (I don't think he's in a talkative mood)! Clever use of a small space with dining in options - just don't bring a large group! Plenty of vegetarian choices. Drink options are out of a cooler but there's a large Gatorade cooler available for tap water too! Great addition to one of my favorite towns.

    Ok so this place was good with fresh organic and certified ingredients, appeared clean and staff was cool and polite! Cost was average for the times and near Michigan tech college. As per the times this is only doing carry out at this point! Plenty of parking but it is a bit tricky to find for your 1st trip there so pay attention and drive properly.

    Fresh ingredients. Simple, yet tasty, menu. A weekly stop for us as it is the best quick eats in the Houghton area.

    Was expecting a supper-club type atmosphere but this was "fast-food". Very pricey for what we got.

    Very fresh, made from scratch tex-mex. One of the better places around Houghton.

    The Den - Shrimp pasta

    This appears to be highly recommended place in town while staying on budget. Indeed it was! We had…read morea table on the outdoor patio with lakefront view which elevates the entire meal. Our servers were attentive and helpful, however, we had to wait for almost an hour for the food to arrive given their adequately staff. Hubby ordered the Den burger with burger and I had the shrimp ragotoni. I enjoyed the homemade pasta but the entree was a bit heavy with the cream sauce but it does have great flavors. Love they have KBC beers on tap and the blueberry ale was very refreshing. Overall, this is a solid choice in downtown Houghton with lakeside view and good menu options. Do keep in mind that prices are a bit high given it's in the UP. Also, you pay extra for protein in pasta entrees as well as bread in appetizers that's usually included.

    We sat on the patio (dog-friendly!) around 5:30pm on a Tuesday evening. The patio overlooks the…read morewater, and there's about 6-7 tables total. 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!
