What can be said, however, is that it has gotten better than before. This is saying a lot be- cause it has always been among the prime dining spots of our town . . . Under its new owners, Richard Roberts and Janet Johnston, who opened just about every food operation owned by the late Ben Kasle, and the new decor that does much to enhance its comforting beauty, the elegance and graciousness that have always been trademarks at the Vine- yards never left. Much remodeling has been done . . . however re- taining the look of class . . . From the moment one enters the Vineyards and is greeted by smiling, very pleasant hostesses Jessica Rayburn and Rhonda Han- chett, and taken to a table or booth, an aura of charm oozes from the atmosphere . . softly lighted crystal chandeliers, padded walls, tablecloths and napkins . . . and a very well-trained staff of employees . . . On each table is a lovely, fresh red carnation. Evening chef Frank O'Donnell has been at the Vineyards eight years . . . Day chef David Borowiec, in charge of the Vineyards prep work, is a graduate of the Culi- nary Institute of America. My waitress for the eve- ning, Rita Sorensen, is among the best . . . polite, efficient, most attentive . . . and smiling . . . She had returned after two years away . . . having worked a year at the Vine- Plan Your Next Affair At Rinottp • Bar Mitzvas • Bat Mitzvas • Sweet 16's • Banquets .'Showers • Parties For All Occasions Excellent Facilities Available For Wedding Ceremony and Receptions Plus A 160-Room Hotel For Your Guests LUNCHEONS MON.

Rita brought me a won- derful bowl of split pea soup . . . made by David . . and among the best I've had . . . the strict taste of peas and not a tinge of saltiness or "doctored" flavor . . . It is served at the table from a tureen . . . and few people refuse seconds. After a cool, crisp salad and then sides of scalloped potatoes and fresh broccoli amondine, came the eve- ning's star . . . a truly great entree . . . Roulades of Veal . . . sliced veal stuffed with a rice dressing in a medium brown and bur- gundy sauce . . . Frank was superb with this dish . . . and from the way others I knew who were dining there spoke, he does a masterful job of all culinary delights. Throwing caution to the wind insofar as any diet is concerned (thank Heavens it isn't neces- sary with me), I just had to have the dessert everyone is raving about . . . Apples Bignets . . warm, thinly sliced apples fried in a special Vineyard's batter . . and topped with a slice of Haagen Dazs ice cream. Jim Cavasina, handsome, suave, debonair and most gracious, is the very knowl- edgeable manager with John Gingilowski, who was on vacation when I was there. Former owner Fred Graczyk was proud of the Vineyards . . . So was Ben . . . Richard and Janet have retained the tradi- tional pride both owners sought to maintain. It is indeed a prideful de- light to dine at the Vine- yards. GREAT DANE on Northwestern Hwy. has been sold . . . also Palom- bo's Monk's Cellar on 12 . Mile and Orchard Lake Rd. . . . and Spiro's on Green- field and Lincoln . . . McInerney's on Northwest- ern, north of 12 Mile, has closed its doors. GOOD WAITRESS DEPT. . . . Linda Cullen at Clock Restaurant on Southfield and 10 Mile . . . smiling, very polite. BERNICE SEGAL writes about her and three other people (husband Henry, and Kathie and Manny Foner) going to Ciro's on Cass Lake Rd.. . . "All four had excellent fish dinners" says Bernice . . . two cods, one stuffed floun- der and one broiled trout . . . Manny told his brother Ezra Foner about Ciro's . . . and h_ e came back rav- ing about the veal . . . "The prices are so reasonable, too," says Bernice.
