The Continental Fire Co. - Houghton

New Years Eve... Reservations for 2 at 10:15 pm... Made approximately 2 weeks before... Arrived about 10:12 pm... We stood at the hostesses station for 10 min. Went over to the bar... And after the 3rd time a bartender walked by??... I got loud and stopped the next one to walk by... Explained what was going on... And was told to go stand by the desk and she would come back soon... So after 10 more min. We went upstairs and was told by yet another bartender to go back downstairs to the hostesses station and wait... At around 10:55 pm... A hostess showed up and in formed us that the kitchen was closed... We explained that we had reservations and Was there on time... So she took us up and seated us... After another 10 min... Waitresses started coming by saying that the kitchen was closed and that there was nothing they could do... The Hostess came back and we told her what was being said... And she said she would talk to the chef... After another 10 minutes we were able to order... From the hostess, because the waitresses didn't want to take our table... We placed the order.... Prime Rib and Jumbo scallops... Along with the sides... She came back and all the sides were out... Except for one... My Lady reordered sides... And around 11:15 pm... We were served... None of the sides on my Ladies plate were what she ordered... My plate was unimpressive!... We ate what was edible... Paid around $80. For the shorted food and whatever the scallops were supposed to be (not Jumbo)... And gave the hostess over $15. For her efforts... And left... I was a special occasion customer when the Bonfire was above the hotel... And every meal was 4&5 Star... What a difference a location change made... No ambiance... No outstanding waitresses... No help from the Bartenders... No heat... No waterfront view... (Couldn't see out the window because of the inside glare from the overly bright lights) And the Quality of the Food would have been topped by another restaurant up there by Walmart!... And to top it off... No offer for a discount for the shortage of sides... Needless to say... I will never take My Lady to the Bonfire again!!... Pics of the food for reference... Note: that's a scallop sitting on the prime rib...

We has dinner reservations for 10:15. We waited 20 minutes for a hostess and then was told that the kitchen closed at 10. The young lady who seated us said she would get our order in and make sure we got our food. I ordered lobster bisque and was told they ran out. I got cheesy broccoli and that was good. I ordered jumbo scallops that were far from jumbo. I also ordered squash and au gratin potatoes. I got a mixed veggies and something that was supposed to be risotto. For $32 I got 3 scallops and the rest was nasty. The music was to loud. I couldn't even hear my boyfriend above the music. I definitely will never go back or recommend to anyone.

One of the top best 3 restaurants in the UP and by far the best in Houghton. I have never had a bad meal or left hungry. If you are seated in the Hayloft you have a great view of town. Live music on weekends on a top notch stage and the owner makes it a point to make sure you are satisfied with your experience. If you go once you will go back

We rented the Hayloft for a surprise party and everything was wonderful! The room had amazing views and the decor is beautiful! The appetizers were delicious and came out right on time for our guests. Our waitress was great and the food was wonderful! Don?t pass up the steak bite pasta, it?s super yummy! Thanks to Bonfire grill for making my husbands 40th birthday so memorable.

We have eaten here a few times now. So far we have liked everything we have had. What a great addition to some already amazing food we can get here in town.
