Have You had Big Daddy's Tommy Salad Yet?
Or Our Fabulous Lamb Chops?
Welcome to the best Greek food this
"The service was outstanding
and very accommodating. Quite
a difference in service between
this moderately priced restau-
rant and the high-priced one.
"The waitress didn't act like
she was doing us a favor as did
the waitress in the upscale
restaurant. Attitude makes a big
difference, and many times if the
service is good, the food will be
too.
"Why don't eating establish-
ments spend more time instill-
ing the right attitudes with both
the kitchen people and the ser-
vice people?
"What a difference it would
make."

IT'S NOTHING new for
Ram's Horn of Farmington Hills,
Orchard Lake Road south of 13
Mile, to score in the 90s from
Oakland County Health Dept.
But the latest, 97 percent, was
just about perfect ... 3 percent
taken off was because its kitchen
door had an opening between the
door and jam.
The good eating spot with its
bevy of home-cooked items by
Connie Efstathiou, co-owner with
smiling, personable host Ange-
lo Georgizas, has become a big fa-
vorite.
Among its prideful awards is
a recent one from the Detroit
Cardiovascular Health Coalition
as one of this region's most
healthy restaurants.
