My father-in-law is retiring this month, and we'd like take him out for a special brunch. Any suggestions of a place that's great to celebrate his achievement. We're over on the eastside but are willing to drive a few miles for a good spot. |

I like the brunch at Sinbads and it is on the east side. Depends upon the environment you are looking for. Sinbads isn't fancy but it is relaxing. |

Try the River Crab in St.Clair,MI. I think it's around $20, and is on the St.Clair River. The view is great and the food and service is better. It's between St.Clair and Port Huron. |

The mention of the St Clair river reminded me of going to the St Clair Inn on the river for Thanksgiving. That was a great place. Im not sure its still open. Does anybody know if its still around and if so is it still as good as it was 30 years ago? |

The saint clair inn is still open, i went there for the boat races this year. That is a very cool place. I 2nd sinbads, it's a very relaxed atmosphere and not to pricy. Plus you can watch the ice jams floating by on the river. |
