I was wondering if anyone here has ever had a restaurant cater a personal party. Good or bad, I wouldn't mind getting some advice on the subject. I don't have any thoughts or a menu in mind at this point so all options are open. The only thing is that I would prefer the place to be in Detroit. Thanks in advance. |

I've had dinner there many times and the food has always been great. They cater? I'll look into it. Anyone else? |

How about an ethnic Detroit theme: appetizers: Arabic: LaShesh salad: Greek: Hellas dinner: soul food: Southern Fires dessert: Sanders ice cream & and hot fudge topping and, of course: Vernor's Ginger Ale, Better Made chips, nuts from Germack's, and coffee from Rafals |

I highly recommend Lunchtime Detroit. www.lunchtimedetroit.com They offer a unique menu and are good people. The location I'm familiar with is in the New Center One building, but I see they have opened (or are in the process of opening) a downtown location. Check 'em out! |

Check out Big Rock Chop House in Birmingham. Even though they are in the high rent district, thier prices are really reasonable. My office has used them for our lunch time meetings. The participants at our events were extremely pleased. Big Rock has top notch quality and great service. Jason Peltier runs the off site catering operation and he is a top notch Chef and event planner with years of experience: http://www.bigrockchophouse.co m |

Union Street Saloon caters most events and facility rentals at the Detroit Historical Museum and Dossin Great Lakes Museum, so I guess they would cater private parties as well. |

Also too Cmyk, depending on what you are catering, you might be able to get to try food from the different places that you are checking out. There will prob. be a lot of businesses that would cater and want the extra business. Looks like quite a few places on this list: http://www.thecityofdetroit.co m/catering/index.html. |
