An amazing run – 50 years in business – tells the story of this family-run restaurant that has outlasted some of its flashier competition for the simple reason that it is reliable and consistent.  

The Alexopoulos family sticks to the classic American dishes made with quality ingredients they have served from the beginning. Even the hours are the same.

Prime ribs of beef, signature steaks, an array of seafood and much more, including pastas and veal dishes, are all served at moderate prices. If anything, the menu is too extensive.

It's certainly not chic, not at all trendy, but behind that low-key exterior in a free-standing building just south of 14 Mile Road is a restaurant that takes pride in its well-prepared fare and has an exceptionally loyal customer base.
