I went to Saltwater last night. Everything was excellent; wonderful food and service. Prices are not cheap, but well worth it.

I saw on the sneak peak that the master chef Puck sent to run the MGM restaurant is a native Detroiter. He said he sent him on purpose because he thought a Detroiter would be more succesful. Go Wolfgang!

I think he already worked for Puck, I don't think he is the Chef the owner of Andiamo's was complaining MGM stole, but I'm not sure.

One upside to the Casino restaurants, despite the grumblings of Andiamo's. Now world class caliber chefs from the area don't have to leave to find a job.

When you go to the Hotel, make sure you all take a gander at the art work. Detroit artists have lots of work in there---in the lobbies and in each of the hotel rooms.

My fiancee' and I went to Bourbon Steak last Thursday. It was very good. Good service, thought the waitress was not yet very polished with the menu. I had the American Kobe filet mignon and my fiancee' had the standard filet. When I go back, I'll save the extra $30 and go with the base filet.

I went to the Palette dining studio (casino buffet) last thursday and it was incredible. The only problem was that we did not have a server, but it seemed to have been a scheduling glitch. The food was incredible, especially the seafood selections and the tapas style specialties that came presented in very creative ways, such as a fig and prosciutto appetizer sprinkled with balsamic vinegar. The mini desserts were wonderful, especially the creme brulee, as was everything else I tasted. Try going during a weekday, because we only waited in line for 10 minutes and this was for a 7 pm dinner.

Palette Dining Studio has to be the best buffet that I've been too. I've never been to a buffet where they serve lamb...I thought that was quite different. But they have a nice selection and even though there usually is a line to eat there, it's really not that bad of a wait.
