% nl - c5lreel ofclilsicHoomfield passed the 25,000 mark. Salmon and fresh whitefish are his biggest seafood sellers ... Vodka Salmoni, with imported Norwegian salmon, sun-dried tomatoes and asparagus, in a cream vodka sauce over a bed of penne pasta, is a popular request ... Also the Fruiti de Mare: fresh mussels, clams, shrimp, calamari and scallions sauteed in a light red or white sauce, served over linguine. "I love everybody," says Angelo, when asked why the pictures that line a hallway and are strewn around the restaurant, are only of him and woman customers, "but the ladies make me look good." Hours are Monday-Thursday, 11- 10; Friday and Saturday, 10-11; Sunday, 4-10 ... Dinner specials are Monday-Saturday only. Angelo Georgizas has always been a popular host ... going from table to table greeting customers with a smil- ing informal charm ... And seeing his restaurant celebrate its first anniversary is a big thrill for him. Angelo's Bistro has made it through the trial-and-error tough times of a restaurant's first year ... and steadied its course for what many hope is a lot of smooth sailing ahead. PREMIER RESTAURATEUR Raymond Wong, whose reputation goes back to when he had Wong's Eatery in Windsor years ago, is maitre d' host at Shangri-La in West Bloomfield's Orchard Lake Road at 15 Mile. Probably with suggestionk like the big favorite stir-fried shrimp and chicken inside a half cantaloupe like he used to serve at Wong's. Raymond is assisting longtime friend, Cholada Chan, Shangri-La's owner, who was a customer with her family at Wong's Eatery over 25 years past ... He's also updating her wine and sake lists. By the way, Shangri-La now has combination dinner specials Monday- Saturday, 4-6:30, that include egg roll and fried rice ... 14 at $9.95 and four at $11.95 ... It is open seven days a week. HE'S A SMART businessman not to compete against himself... Which is why Patrick Coleman didn't make his second restaurant the same as his Beans & Cornbread in Southfield. Pat's new Urban Wings, off 14 Mile Road, east of Farmington Road, West Bloomfield, is anything but a soul food dining spot ... with total concentration on ribs, both regular and beef, chicken, shrimp, gourmet-style pizza, etc. And the beef ribs are not the big bulky hard-to-hold kind, but smaller pieces on the bone, basted with a deli- cious sauce. NEWLY NAMED Bombay Grille, former Shalimar, on Orchard Lake Road, between 12 and 13 Mile in Farmington Hills, continues its all- new ownership goings-on with a lot of foot-stompin' and shakin' music. Every Thursday evening, 6-10 p.m., is the GEQ Jazz group with its rhythms including renditions from their CD, Here... Put This On among other classic interpretations ... Tunes like Dizzy Gillespie's "A Night in Tunisia," Duke Ellington's."Take the A Train," Charley Parker's Ornithology," etc. plus a couple by trumpet gent/leader Guyman Ensley. CONGRATS ... To Sima Parr on her 65th birthday ... To Ron Asmar on his 54th birthday, celebrated with a large cake baked at his Vineyard's bak- ery and cut up for the Vineyards' staff and customers. AFTER 13 YEARS inside, the open-air ceremonies went over so big last year that they will again be held outside for the 15th Annual Hank Greenberg Memorial Golf & Tennis Invitational. Date is Monday, June 6, at Tam O'Shanter Country Club in West Bloomfield ... with Hall of Fame catcher Johnny Bench receiving the Hank Greenberg Lifetime Achievement Award as attendance again expected to reach another high. MAIL DEPT ... "We really enjoy your articles and try many of your sug- gestions. We are sure you already know about Fonte D'Amore on Plymouth in Livonia, but we thought we would drop you a note anyway. It is old-fash- ioned Italian and terrific, right up there with Moro's in Allen Park. We can almost always get in, which sur- prises us since it serves such a great meal. The service is good and they have a jazzy piano player every night who is terrific. The food is outstand- ing. "We almost always get a Shrimp Gambini appetizer and then what we think is the best veal chop around. They are a little weak on their spaghetti sauce, but everything else is really great. I think they may also own Bacco (old Di Modesta location on Northwestern). We've been to both, but like Fonte D'Amore better because it is very relaxed and has a kind of cold family feel."' ...
