I see we are lamenting the loss of another good restaurant, Maria's Front Room in Fabulous Ferndale. I never heard of the joint and I had relatives that lived there for 20+ years. How many more places like this exist? Good food, good value, good service? Let's patronize them before they disappear. I'll start: Monte's Grill at the Saranay Motel on Woodward in RO. Great burgers. But they close right after lunch. |

Take a look here, Jrvass: https://www.atdetroit.net/forum/mes sages/5/133076.html?1206802177 It is way sad indeed. What I worry about is what will replace it. The city is putting in more and more night clubs, and places like BWW. It sucks to no end. F-Ferndale! (Sorry, I'm pissed) |

Maria's was an excellent Italian restaurant. Too bad. |

OK. This is to keep businesses alive... Not lament closed ones. Hunter House on Woodward... good sliders and fries. What are your favorites? |

Is Cadena's still in downtown Detroit? GREAT Mexican food that I enjoyed on many a lunch hour. I think it was on Lafayette, but not sure. |

Wow Grumpyoldlady I havent thought of Cadena's in years. Used to go there for lunch when I worked in the Detroit Bank and Trust building. (a very long time ago!). Cadena's was my first Mexican food experience. |
