D. Dennison's, 27909 Orchard Lake Road, Farmington Hills, 553-7000. It is on par with many higher-touted restaurants whose fish entrees are a main feature, but still keeps a low key as one of the area's better seafood houses. The fresh water-faring' creatures that end up in both the Farmington Hills and Livonia locales bring much tasty goodness. Ginopolis', 27815 Middlebelt Road, Farmington Hills, 851-8222. One of Metropolitan Detroit's favorite celebrity restaurants, Ginopolis', owned by broth- ers Johnny and Peter Ginopolis, carries on the tradition of excellence which their father George always insisted upon. Seabed, authentic Montgomery Inn ribs and choice selections are Ginoplis' fa- vorites. A beautiful private room is avail- able plus off-premise service for all types of catering. Hakata, 32443 Northwestern Hwy., Farmington Hills, 737-7220. It is always an interesting experience to dine at a Japanese restaurant. And even more so when the ring of Japanese authenticity is always prevalent. The menu and am- bience of Hakata, with its private rooms, slippers, sushi bar and open dining room, are gracious attributes for this hon- orable food emporium. It is open seven days a week. Marvin's Marvelous Me- chanical Museum, 31005 Or- chard Lake Road, 626-5020. Only the huge clock at its outside entrance is back- wards. Everything else at this good time emporium spells fun for the entire fami- ly. Owner Marvin Yagoda was crazy like a fox when he came up with the idea, but it has become one of very few like it in the nation, winning awards and appearing in magazines and the Gui- ness Book of World Records. Video games, pinball machines, antique games, unique posters, etc. include an old-time photo booth. The party favorite also has 24 tables for lunch snacks.
