THE
fl
WHEN DOWNTOWN
VISIT DETROIT'S
NEWEST, MOST FASHIONABLE
The Best of Everything
scribe our recent experience
at one of Detroit's most
enchanting new discoveries
. .. The Opera House res-
taurant . . . on E. Warren,
five blocks east of Chal-
mers.
There's nothing like it in
the Metropolitan area .. .
and undoubtedly something
that will be of much wel-
come to a lot of people.
The evening we were
there, a Saturday night, a
I fine musical string quartet
called Musique Unique .. .
two gals and two fellows .. .
viola, cello and two violins
. . . played extremely de-
lightful light classical
melodies as some of the
most delectable food Was
brought to us by courteous,
efficient waiter Rick
Pauline . . . Strolling about
singing opera was Suzanne
Wernette . . . whose tonal
qualities enhanced a joyous
evening.
The Opera House res-
taurant is a very colorful,
cozy and pleasant place
. .. It seats about 96 .. .
with decor of dark
woods, red drapes, red
table cloths and red cloth
napkins, brick and mir-
rored walls, indirect
lighting onto a stucco
ceiling, delicately-lighted
chandeliers, overhang
ceiling lights, many
photographs of opera
stars, New York Met-
ropolitan Opera posters
telling of appearing
shows ... and lovely
fresh flowers on each ta-
ble.
What a delightful way to
have dinner? . . . So many
will happily greet this
"new" find . . . open just over
a year . . . owned by Norma
Robb, also its chef, and her
son, Ron Robb, general
manager, whose experience
`as a bartender was mainly
on the northwest . . . Res-
taurant Duglass, LaRotis-
serie and db's at Hyatt Re-
gency and Bijou.
Entertainment at The
Opera House restaurant is
Wednesday through Sun-
day . . . with live singing
and background opera
music . . . On Friday and
Saturday, the regular ap-
pearances are also by Janet
Rhoem, flutist, and Cory
Trager, classical guitarist.
The dinner amidst such
delightful music from "Old
Man River" to "Pagliacci"
makes for an interesting
evening of much charm .. .
and Norma's cuisine is in
perfect tune with the opera
theme . . . complementing
each for both the ears and
palate.
Norma's only experi-
ence as a cook is bringing
up seven children ... as if
that isn't enough ... Bet
her seven kids never had
meals that include Pate
'"Renatta Scotto" (chic-
ken livers), Shrimp Fig-
aro, Cucumber Bisque,
absolutely elegant chil-
led soup with a hint of
dill, Tempura (shrimp
mixed with mushrooms,
zucchini, eggplant and
