ary Liz Curtin, 
co-owner of Leon & 
Lulu, and Michigan 
restaurateur Matt Prentice 
opened their 
upscale dining 
and retail concept 
last month at 116 
W
. 14 Mile Road 
in Clawson.
Always on 
one another’
s 
radar, Curtin and 
Prentice met last 
year. By the end of 
their initial conversation, the 
pair agreed to bring the people 
of Detroit a retail and restau-
rant concept like no other.
“I have admired Matt’
s 
food and knack for service 
for many years,
” said Curtin. 
“I cannot imagine starting a 
restaurant with anyone else. 
Three Cats will make Leon & 
Lulu a complete destination 
where guests can enjoy fine 
meals as well as great shop-
ping.
”
Three Cats’
 American small 
plates menu, with an emphasis 
on Michigan’
s bounty, will be 
served among the high-end 
furniture and gifts Leon & 
Lulu is known to offer.
“I’
m so excited to be back in 

the kitchen doing what I love,
” 
said Prentice. “I’
ve created a 
seasonally inspired menu with 
items you won’
t find anywhere 
else, served in an 
atmosphere unlike 
any other restaurant.
”
The introductory 
menu features light-
er fare using rare 
ingredients such 
as Michigan Wild 
Chinook salmon 
and locally foraged 
Pawpaw fruit. Small 
plates include fish, poultry, 
pork, beef, and vegetarian and 
vegan options.
Three Cats has a full bar 
stocked with Michigan craft 
beer, American wines and 
spirits with a special emphasis 
on Detroit and Ferndale dis-
tilleries.
Hours are Monday-
Thursday 10 a.m.-10 p.m., 
Friday 10 a.m.-11 p.m., 
Saturday 9 a.m.-11 p.m. and
