D. Dennisons, 27909 Orchard
Lake Rd., Farmington Hills, 553-
7000. One of the area's finest
seafood houses is a low-keyed
secret. D. Dennison's is on a par

to many. (I)

Rd., Farmington Hills, 851-

tion of excellence which their
father George always insisted
upon. Seafood, authentic Mont-
gomery Inn ribs and choice se-
lections are Ginopolis' favorites.

able plus off-premise service

Marvin's Marvelous Me-
chanical Museum, 31005
Orchard Lake Rd., 626-5020.
They said Marvin Yagoda was
crazy when he came up with
the idea, but his fun emporium,
with 24 tables for lunch snacks
too, is among few like it in the
nation. Video games, pinball
machines, antique games,
unique posters, artifacts, etc.
including an old-time photo
booth that works, make up this
party favorite where both
youngsters and adults get
equally involved. (I)
Peacock Cafe & Grill, 25938
Middlebelt Road, Farmington
Hills, 476-1750. This is the for-
mer Sageo's, another of those

prices. Even the cannolis are
homemade in a new and well
diversified menu for all taste-
buds. True family dining here
is nestled at the corner of a well-
trafficked shopping center. (i)

lection. The diversified foods of

enjoy them, mild, medium or
hot. Indian beers and exotic
drinks do much to complement
the specialized taste offerings.
