Noble Fish

Reviewed By Randall C

Noble Fish is one of the treasures of Clawson we go here all the time. If you want to eat at home there take out service is great. They have party platters that will blow you away. There specialty rolls are over the top. I love the Michigan roll. It is made with huge piece of tuna. The shrimp roll is unbelievable. I like everything they make except the shrimp tempura. When the ship goes in it is not hot…. The pricing is so low and the value of product is high. They make everything right in front of you. You can call in your order or walk in and order. You will be surprised at the amount of customers coming in. I suggest ordering however they have coolers with pre-made rolls. These sell so fast it is like picking up your own order. If you want to eat in the space is very small. Very small! Happy eating!

Ray's Ice Cream Co

Reviewed By kanbaatar - Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia

Since our last visit to Ray's Ice Cream, 4233 Coolidge Hwy near Normandy Rd, Royal Oak Michigan, my wife and I have returned several times. Ray's is a stand-out phenomenal ice cream shop as good as you will find anywhere. The staff are very friendly and helpful and PATIENT as you oogle the overhead menu to decide upon your choices. We enjoy sitting inside, either at the counters or in the seats beside the door. What could be more fun on a hot evening that a visit to Ray's? Answer : Few things indeed.

The Capital Grille

Reviewed By jredmom - Detroit, Michigan

Sunday dinner with friends (party of 12) was very pleasant. Ambiance is very nice. We dined during restaurant week and the selection of meals was great. Prefix dinner or your choice off the reg menu. My hubby had the prefix dinner of bone in NY 14 oz steak which was very moist and flavorful!, cooked perfect! The mashed potatos were outstanding too. I ordered off the reg menu, had the scallops with asparagus and parsnip puree. Scallops were large and cooked to perfection. I had fresh fruit (mix of berries, super sweet) and the flourless chocolate cake was really good as well. Service was great. We did have a couple of steaks overcooked but they quickly replaced them. Our waitress Kristy was wonderful, super nice!

Inn Season Cafe

Award winning vegan and vegetarian gourmet cuisine. Pioneers in the Farm to Fork movement, in business since 1981.

Reviewed By Steven A - Sterling Heights, Michigan

My wife suggested this restaurant, and my first thought was, " More boring fake meat dishes". Boy, was I WRONG! This is chef-quality cuisine that doesn't have to pretend! The presentation, layers of flavors, the textures, the aromas all made for a wonderful, artfully prepared, fulfilling meal. Nothing was " missing" or "fake"! Service was attentive, friendly, and fast. The dining area and restroom are a bit dated and worn - but, that FOOD!!!!!

Streetside Seafood

Reviewed By Giovanni L - Turin, Italy

I was back in the Detroit area after several years. With a friend we went to have a dinner at Streetside. The restaurant is relatively small and in case I would recommend a reservation. The atmosphere is beautiful. Staff friendly and polite. Menu offers both fish and meat. We had fried Calamari as appetiters and Filet Mignon as main course. Both of them were delicious. Finally we got Fudge Sundae and Spec Sundae, both ok. The wine list is fine with a wide choice of international wines. Overall the price per person was in the range of $55. I strongly recommend to go there.

They just opened last weekend. It is a converted car repair shop that the new owners have kept as the ambiance.

Ridley's Bakery Cafe

Reviewed By Citallwic - Columbia, South Carolina

Ridley's was an excellent choice for our lunch with a friend. The sandwich selection was diverse, portions were ample and the service was very friendly. I liked the quality touches (real albacore for your tuna salad) and custom choices (you can specify marbled rye for your Turkey Reuben). The bran raspberry muffin we ordered was huge, tasty and value priced. There is a nice, homey feel to this place. They won't bother you if you linger to chat, read a newspaper or work with your laptop.

Woodpile Bbq Shack

Reviewed By BAMW - Royal Oak, Michigan

This has become a new favorite in our rotation of local restaurants. I had the pulled pork sandwich with mashed sweet potatoes. The sandwich was delicious! I keep wanting to rave about the sweet potato mash, but it just doesn't do it for me. It's a tad too sweet and extremely creamy, like baby food. The texture throws me off. Their corn bread is great. We just love the laid back atmosphere.

Red Coat Tavern

Reviewed By 1Rahhalatun - Troy, Michigan

Someone drags me here once every 5-10 years but I must admit I don't get the appeal. The place is dark and dingy. The food is meah. This time I noticed a much improved selection of beers including draft beers...but not cheap. Very popular place though. I'm clearly in the minority.
