Without these, the most beauti-
ful restaurant in the world ... with
the most expensive and lavish
antiques ... cannot exist.
The owners of Fleetwood on 6th
know this ... And their aim to create
its own image is admirable ... That of
only being a restaurant first and fore-
most.
So far, it is on the right track.
SECOND PLACE in Restaurant
Hospitality magazine's 1997 Top of
the Table Awards competition has
been given to Ristorante Cafe Corti-
na, 10 Mile, east of Orchard Lake
Road.
"Artistic leanings are distinctly
Italian at Ristorante Cafe Cortina in
Farmington Hills, Michigan," says
Restaurant Hospitality in its Novem-
ber issue. "Since opening in 1976,
the restaurant has focused on the
heart and soul of Italian cooking.
"Menus as well as the tablesettings
reflect the heritage of owners Rina
Tonon and Adrian Tonon. Show-
plates and dinnerware are made in
Italy by family and friends, and have
been brought back to the restaurant
by the owners when they travel.
"Some of the signature items
include an appetizer of imported
mozzarella and thinly sliced prosciut-
to, a mixed grill entree of herbed
lamb, beef and chicken, and a dessert
of marinated fresh fruit with mascar-
pone.
"Daily check average in this 180-
seat restaurant is $80 per couple; the
cost of four placesettings is about
$468. Flatware: Oneida. Water gob-
lets: Arcoroc. Wine Glasses: Libbey
Glass. Napery: Marathon Linens."
THE HOUSE was built in 1929
... But renovations by Roseann and
Sandy Duncan have brought back the
interior look of the 1100s French
chateau it is patterned after.
Guests at the recent Celebrer Les
Fete by Barbara Ann Karmanos Can-
cer Institute were thrilled at the beau-
tiful surroundings of Roseann and
Sandy's Bloomfield Hills home.
Proceeds were used to support the
Karmanos Institute's many research
and outreach programs ... including
exploration on why cancer cells resist
treatment.
Besides oohs and aahs at the luxu-
rious home and excellent dinner buf-
fet, passed hors d'oeuvres, cocktails
and entertainment, talk was centered
on wonderful words about Ambas-
sador to Norway Dave Hermelin and
wife Doreen ... Dave has been a
staunch supporter of Michigan Can-
