in Detroit?

SANTORINI brings a renewed renaissance in fine dining to Detroit! The location in Greektown suggests typical fare as most restaurants on Monroe. To my surprise, the ambitious menu offered usual Greek fare but a host of creative and imaginative appetizers, salads, chicken, seafood and steaks. Santorini offers an impressive Wine list. The total dining experience will satisfy the most discerning critics.

You may place a (recommended) reservation online, simple as a Tweet with a Confirm E-mail to follow. The ambience, the décor and layout is superior, but dress is casual.

Upon arrival, we enjoyed our choice of seating in a plush booth. Table service is excellent and attentive without being overbearing. How did the server anticipate my thirst? Almost magically, he appears filling our water glasses and leaving the carafe on the table. Details and conspicuous service never wanes. Top-notch service is without doubt a priority, but outshined by the Food! 

However, the entrees not only feature the best of Greek and Mediterranean cuisine inherent to the locale. What separates Santorini from all the others is the ambitious list of both hot and cold appetizers, a selective choice of salads. All are creative, well thought and executed. Wavering, our final choice was Shrimp Santorini and Solomos Salmon. The choices are exquisite in presentation, execution and an innovation in great taste.

My overall rating is spot on! If Padma Lakshmi and Tom Colicchio made way to the table, I would not be surprised. Has #TOPCHEF finally arrived in Detroit? #BRAVO!

The Greek island of Santorini, also called Thira, is known for the whitewashed houses and churches perched along its volcanic cliffs. The picturesque village of Oia in the north is the island's most outstanding example of this architectural style. Here, a twilight image shows another of the town's claims to fame: its sunset views.

WILL AMERICA FINALLY ACCEPT CLIMATE CHANGE OR REBUILD ONLY TO ADAPT? WE CAN DO BOTH In the aftermath of a major catastrophic event, politicians will push their way to the front of the media cameras to grab the optics so to show their constituents “they are in office to help, no matter the cost.” You heard it first from President Trump even before Harvey or Irma hit landfall. He promised the full power and resources of the Federal Government in coming to the rescue. To date, “th e Senate approved $15.25 billion in disaster aid as part of an agreement struck by President Trump. The bill passed by a vote of 80 to 17 on Thursday afternoon. The House is expected to quickly vote on the package, despite growing opposition from fiscal conservatives who oppose pairing aid with debt and spending elements. ”   This initial aid package of $15.25 billion breaks down this way.   $450 million for the SBA (Small Business Authority) disaster loan  ...

President Obama "floats like a butterfly and stings like a bee" delivering a TKO to the GOP!

The President stood tall before an audience with eyes filled with skepticism and disdain from the Republican side of the aisle.  He remained calm, focused and firm as he laid out a real jobs plan.  The delivery some perceive may define this, his first term in office.  President Obama presented to a gridlocked Congress The American Jobs Act . It is one history may describe as a “Moment Speech.”  Few presidents rarely face this magnitude of crisis, urgency and challenge.  I listened more intently than watched.  In a matter of moments the tone and strength of his voice I easily came to visualize his address more like that of a Heavyweight Championship Fight!  Here is the Commander-in-Chief executing with decisive precision a surgical strike, targeted toward many Republican  and Tea Party  members. Often in the past, he has been labeled as indecisive.  However, the President with the same bold resolve in taking it to Osama Bin Lade now...
