It is interesting to see people sometimes question why the quantity of high end restaurants in the Detroit area (I emphasize area). One can tend to forget that Oakland County is one of the wealthiest in the country (even with the massive blue collar layoffs)...Also, the Grosse Pointes have no shortage of old money... So it is not unexpected that there are an abundance of high end restaurants.

Also a good mail order business for those times when I haven't been living in the area. Here is another description of the place: http://www.metrotimes.com/editorial/story.asp?id=6594 Expat Russ
