jalapeno pepper sauce and grilled poblano pepper with tamale stuff- ing and tomato salsa. A goodly number of the choic- es on City Grill's menu are also available in half-portions at half- price plus one dollar. With preparations of Ed Janos served by persons like Mark Pau- tuk, probably one of the finest in this region, a meal at City Grill can be nothing but outstanding... Mark is among an excellent serv- er team assemblage ... His easy- going dexterity in telling just about everything on the menu without so much as a note, and answering questions in a very knowledgeable and most sincere way, is truly a fine dining art. And many will remember gen- eral manager Ray Hanson, whose 10 years as London Chop House manager were most en- joyable ones to all. The former Sly Fox's Sally.ls_ Saloon, named after Sally San- - ford, one of the West Coast's most popular madams, who served as mayor of Sausilito, would have no place in today's City Grill ... Gone, too, in the former Sally's Saloon, is the large painting by noted artist Robert Thom that highlighted the piano wall, and Both the food and building changed. the tasteful nudes in large gilt frames that decorated other walls. Its dark wood ambiance of a classy city bar is still there, ac- companied now by a unique met- al grillwork along the top of the bar area and a giant oval light fixture ... Replacing Robert Thom's painting is a full-length mural on the back wall that was painted by Janisse Larsson, wife of designer Dennis Larsson. Diners at City Grill are given an intimate, homey feeling with the use of dark wood and rich col- ors that present a modern and traditional look ... The green marble lobby brings back mem- ories of a more elegant era, but the subtle zebra-stripped chairs ease folks into the next century with a crisply modern yet pol- ished look. The over all design and change from Sly Fox to City Grill is al- most as exciting as the food. Hours of operation are seven days ... Lunch, Monday through Friday,-11 a.m. to 3 p.m; dinner, Monday through Thursday, 5 p.m. to 10 p.m.; Friday and Sat- urday; 5 p.m. to 11 p.m.; Sunday, 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. A downstairs area wine cellar is very popular ... It is one of four banquet rooms, each holding 30 people ... The wine cellar; .with its wine racks, own bar, rich ma- hogany, stone wall, stained glass and fireplace, is a great setting for cocktail receptions as well. Machus is one of the very few companies locally to have had two master chefs ... In fact, I can't think of another outside Schoolcraft College ... Leopold Schaeli, retired but a Schoolcraft instructor, at Red Fox, and now Ed Janos at City Grill ... Both possess outstanding respect among chefs everywhere, as well they should. There are many amenities that make City Grill an out- standing restaurant, not the least of which is the master chef char- acteristic of everything being homemade ... and presented with colorful array ... Having its own pastry and bakery shop on the premises is important ... The desserts, like white chocolate cheesecake with chocolate crust, warm apple -anti-spice bread sandwich with cider saboyon, grand marnier-ginger creme brulee, warm chocolate hazelnut cake with housemade caramel ice cream, etc. are pieces of culinary art ... and the breads that come to tables before dining — four- grain hearth, sourdough and croissant breadsticks — are in baskets that are refilled with ra- pidity. The combination of casual el- egance, Ed Janos, Bob Machus, and prices well within reason, is no small factor why it has tak- en off and is maintaining a steady pace of quality goodness. City Grill has received much acclaim, but none more than for its ableness to weather a contin- uous consumer onslaught. It has done what was to be ex- pected when a master chef like Ed Janos and superior restaura- teur such as Bob Machus come together ... produce a win- ner.
