When traveling, we like to go to brew pubs and sit at the bar. The Library has been recently sold…read moreand licensing is strict for brewing on the premises. They only had beers from nearby breweries....that was fine and understandable. The beer we chose was good. The bartender was very young and didn't seem to interested in talking with us, however, our food was delivered to us promptly. We split a Philly cheesesteak and it was very good. The bartender delivered us an empty ketchup bottle. Not sure if we would go back. There are other places in Houghton.

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.

Do not book a summer wedding reception here…read more We held our wedding reception in the banquet room on July 26, 2025, one of the hottest days of the year. The banquet room technically has an AC unit, but it was so ineffective that our guests could not tell it was running. The owner has since acknowledged that this unit "struggles on any hot day." The venue knew the forecast and knew the limitations of its AC, yet there was no adequate contingency plan. The room became so unbearably hot that our elderly aunt, who has a heart condition, and other family members had to leave early--some before receiving dinner. Most of our guests were gone before dancing began. Dinner was scheduled for 5:30 p.m. but was approximately 1.5 hours late. Several parents left to get fast food for their children and then returned. Once dinner was served, the venue ran out of potatoes and barbecue sauce even though only 76 guests attended--12 fewer than the 88 people the venue had been asked to prepare for. We were told the venue was short-staffed because employees had called in sick, and the owner later cited problems with the oven. Those circumstances may explain the service failure, but they do not change what our guests experienced. The restaurant side had substantially stronger air conditioning. We were told at the time that it had been closed because the venue was short-staffed. We were eventually allowed to move there, but by then most guests had already left. We still paid the full $500 charge for a dance floor that we could not meaningfully use. We also had to advocate for a reduction afterward; it was not simply offered. The final invoice was reduced by $462 from $4,467.84. Of that amount, $312 corresponded exactly to the 12 absent guests at $26 each, while only $150 was deducted from the $600 room charge. The $500 dance-floor charge and the $587.60 charge for "gratuity, set-up, tear-down, etc." remained unchanged. Although I waited to post a public review because I did not want these problems to overshadow my memories of our wedding, I documented the heat-related departures, food delay, shortages, and staffing problems in writing three days after the reception. When I eventually shared my experience, the owner responded publicly with "not sure what possesses you" and "shame on you," minimized what happened, compared us with couples who were supposedly happier, and attributed the problems to the weather, sick employees, and equipment issues. That response showed very little accountability for the venue's responsibility to provide a reasonably comfortable room, timely and sufficient food, and a workable backup plan. A wedding brings together people who may rarely all be in the same place. We cannot get back the part of that day our family missed because they had to leave. Future couples deserve to understand this risk before booking the banquet room.

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.

Waiter was very friendly. When my French onion soup arrived, we still had no silverware or napkins. Waiter was quick to respond, but the silverware never showed up. Finally, I went to him and asked again. Not good, but not a dining experience buster. The French onion soup was better than decent. So hot, I had to let it cool...a good thing. I ordered the whitefish almondine...disaster. The crust was horrible and I was able to scrape it off, but still terrible. The almondine part; just sprinkled some almond slivers on the fish after it was cooked. I now kick myself for not sending it back. The side of vegetables were terrible; undercooked and barely warm. I wonder if they were from a can? I should have sent the fish back and offered to pay for the soup. My mistake. My wife had the tacos. Not a good choice in the Michigan Upper Peninsula. She ate one of them and brought the other home, which likely will go uneaten. I dont like bashing a restaurant on Yelp, but this whole meal was a disaster. However, the place was busy and loud. Worst meal in the UP. Worst meal elsewhere in a long time. I do not recommend.
