I QUALITY AND CONSISTENCY IS OUR PRIORITY! J How many gents can ever recall sitting on a padded lounge (mauve, of course) in the rest room? . . . Outside of the huge, clean kitchen, with its mammoth gleams of stainless steel, six large woks, walk-in coolers and walk-in freezer, large working areas, etc., the men's room is the on- ly place without mauve color- ing throughout . . . The clean tile is gray . . . However, mauve is still carried out in the chair and waste basket color motifs. Food doesn't get cool at the Panda . . . It's gotten almost immediately by servers who put in the order and pickup in seconds after their quick readiness. Another important dietary factor is that the Panda will make anything without salt . . . and steam foods for per- sons on low cholesterol diets. There are live green plants all over that give a subtle look of elegance to a place that has so much. The Panda is open seven days a week, Monday to Thursday, 11:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m.; Friday, 11:30 a.m. to 11 p.m.; Saturday, 3 p.m. to 11 p.m.; and Sunday, noon to 9:30 p.m. On Sundays it has an all- you-can-eat-for-$6.95 buffet from noon to 4 p.m. The Panda is also preparing an extensive wine list . . . so very unusual for a dining establishment of this origin. It is a Chinese restaurant that doesn't scream Chinese all over the place . . . In fact, if you didn't know, or see the menu, the Panda could be your regular, elegant gourmet restaurant. About the menus at the Panda . . . Everything is reasonably priced . . . and so good . . . the only persons who wouldn't return are those who have never been there .. . Something for everybody's palate is available . . . from traditional Chinese dinners galore, 13 appetizers, 10 soups, side orders, over 20 true Cantonese dishes, special family dinners, American cuisine, sand- wiches, salads, authentic Chinese, Szechuan and Hong Kong foods, etc. There was even something for Barry Solomon, who likes .Linda's pasta at home . . . He ate rice with tomato sauce and after dinner had sherbet and an almond cookie .. . Next time, you can be sure, they'll make one or two or three of those little "slider" hamburgers for him . . . As our mom, Mrs. Minnie Raskin, used to say, "He's a funny eater." The Panda is sheer elegance . . . in dining, decor and service ... It is the fciurth eating establishment at this locale . . . and probably its last . . . If our experience among those of others who have been there is any indica- tion, the Panda is definitely here to stay. METROPOLITAN MUSICAFE, corner of Fourth and Lafayette in Royal Oak, is the wonder of Nino Catraro, also owner of Taboo . . . It opened about three months ago. The decor is most unique . . . with specially built nar- row piano from which interior juts a large oversized keyboard that winds to the ceiling, huge drumstick and guitar for King Kong. There's a 1960 pink Cadillac with neon lighting . . . and on the walls are fram- ed silver and gold records, dresses of stars like Aretha Franklin, Madonna and Vana White, one of Les Paul's guitars, Wayne Newton's pic- There are live green plants all over that give a subtle look. ture, posters galore, framed paintings, plus one on the ceiling with its mammouth black ducts, black and white checkered tablecloths, etc. It's open for dinner seven days 'til 10 p.m., with dancing following . . . Wednesday through Saturday is line-up time outside. Had a good lunch there with Simone Vitale . . . stir- fried chicken and vegetables and redskin potatoes with tomato sauce poured over them. Nino expects to soon open another Metropolitan Musicafe in Farmington Hills . . . 12 Mile and Farmington Road . . . with a different decor. Simone's name today is Simon O'Talley's Irish Spring Band . . . as he plays at Malarkey's Pub, owned by Gus, Gene and Steve Kasapis of the Ram's Horn restau- rants, on Wayne Road at War- ren in Westland . . . Simone says his group's the "authntic Irish band because Micaheliean Brandon Baily Hume from Ballameania, Ireland, will be singing with them 12 p.m.-4 p.m., and 8 p.m.-1 a.m." BROADWAY BOUND by Neil Simon is B'nai B'rith evening April 5 at Birm- ingham Theater . . . General chairman is Max Wayburn . . . For more info and tickets, call Bobbie Levine, 552-8177, or Sharon Rappaport, 552-8070.
