We spent the day on the Keweenauw Peninsula and after driving back from the beauty across "the bridge", we drove back into Houghton looking for a nice cooked meal. We settled on the Ambassador because of the variety of food there. We got the pizza and loved it, sat at a big window looking out over the canal, and just soaked up the energy of this popular hangout - lots of young people (presumably from Michigan Tech) really made the place fun and lively. Our waitress was cute and friendly and made us feel welcome and answered all our questions about how to pronounce the unpronouncable UP names... great place to stop you will not be disappointed!

We tried something different this year & I like the cozy atmosphere/euro vibe of this place. The French toast was really good. My father didnât care for his pasta carbonara but I thought it was good & much easier than making at home. Your typical meat & potatoes yooper might object to the menu, but those with any sense of adventure will find it just fine.

Celebrating a birthday, it's nice to have a place like this with a relaxed atmosphere, good food, reasonable prices, and friendly service. The ravioli is excellent, but salads, sandwiches and other offerings are just as good. My kids like the buffalo wings. They had a burst water line behind the bar, but the barmaids and waitstaff handled it in stride and had a good laugh. We were lucky enough to be at a table so stayed dry the whole time.
