Union Street is really good, I would say their dishes are just more eclectic than straight up American. Twingos I am not partial to, their food is gross every time I have gone there. If you are looking for a really really good French restaurant check out Cuisine- pricey but good. Another place that I love is La Dolce Vita, an Italian restaurant up on six mile and woodward, tucked away. Their food is always done right. I also live right by Harmonie Garden, has to be the best Mediterranean food ever, and super cheap too!
>>> "John Sokolowski" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 05/15/02 12:32 PM >>> For what it's worth, these are the Detroit restaurants I miss the most: Hellas - 583 Monroe - Greek (in Greektown) 313-961-5544 Some of the restaurants in greektown have gone corporate since the casino opened. This place is an exception. Los Galanes - 3362 Bagley - Mexican (in Mexicantown) 313-554-4444 Absolute best mexican restaurant in the city, IMHO. Twingo's - 4710 Cass - French (near Wayne St. U) 313-832-3832 Amazing french onion soup and pasta dishes. Union Street - 4145 Woodward - American/Cajun (Near CPop) 313-831-3965 Nice selection of beer :) Lafayette Coney Island - 118 W. Lafayette Blvd. 313-964-8198 The original!
