SURVEY BY Club Med dis- covered that couples who dieted on vacation argued three times more often than those who didn't watch their weight ... And couples who didn't diet had three times as many romantic moments. MANY TIMES, when you ask servers at dining spots how a cer- tain dish is, they'll extol its good- ness ... even though they've never had it. This isn't the case at places like Capital Grille in Somerset Col- lection North, whose superb training program is such that servers must know what they're talking about. Before working there, the wait- persons are expected to taste everything on the menu so they can speak truthfully with cus- tomers. ❑ side of Greektown.. .featuring wonderful Greek Favorites.
