recipes of Esther Michaels, whose
Sheik restaurant was a downtown
Detroit standby for many years, are
featured along with small pita breads
served hot directly from an open
hearth. Esther's many Mideastern
and Lebanese favorites have not
been forgotten, and present an in-
teresting array of popular dining at

PONTIAC

Bistro 313 Restaurant, 313 E.
Walton, Pontiac, (248) 332-9100.
This is a double-header place for
good times. The indoor and outdoor
dining, fine wines and cocktails, bot-
tle beers galore, 4,000 square foot
deck, etc. is coupled with 18 holes
of golf and on regulation putting
courses. The grass is real, lights are
at night, sand traps, waterfall and
75 yard pitching range. The second
part of Bistro' 313 restaurant is called
The Short Game only because it is
golf in miniature but not miniature
golf. Live entertainment is Tuesday
through Saturday.

29875 Northwestern Hwy., Apple-
gate Square, Southfield, 353-7890.
Consistency has become a fine point
for this Oriental restaurant serving
Szechuan, Hunan and Chinese dish-
es. It has beome a popular place to
dine at both lunch and dinner times
and is open seven-days-a-week, with
everything on the menu available
also for carry-out. The clean atmos-
phere and efficient service are plus-
es to go along with the food.

Excalibur, 28875 Franklin Road,
Southfield, 358-3355. When former
owner Pat Archer passed on, peo-
ple said Excalibur would also go.
However, they didn't reckon with
Marty Wilk, owner/chef who has
made it one of metropolitan Detroit's
markedly popular dining and danc-
ing spots. It's Frank Sinatra's favorite
while in the local area. Entertainment
is Tues. thru Sat. and complete cater-
ing at Excalibur plus homes, halls,
etc.
