Diamonds Steak and Seafood
celebrates second anniversary
in Royal Oak.
the best of everything
Raskin
Shine On!
W
hen the location of
Diamonds Steak
and Seafood was
just in Howell, Mich., folks
in the Detroit areas who
had been there
wanted only two
things when a
second location
would open
as planned in
Royal Oak.
The doors
opened with the answer that
those who have enjoyed the
Diamonds Steak and Seafood
desired so much … More sea-
food and the addition of dry-
aged steaks … Other than
that, the menu at the Royal
Oak restaurant owned by
Adam Merkel, opened with
just 85 percent of the Howell
menu… The other 15 percent
left room for more seafood as
it celebrates its second anni-
versary on S. Main, between
that and 11 Mile, Royal Oak.
Unlike many other such
eateries, it does its own bak-
ing … and a big favorite is
the carrot cake it makes on
the premises for dessert …
Many requests are for the
carrot cake and a signature
dish of filet mignon tips …
Along with them, best sellers
also include the surf and turf,
Diamond Burger and Atlantic
salmon.
Seating is a comfortable
157 … and service is with
hours of 5-10 p.m. Sunday to
Thursday and 5-11 p.m. on
Friday and Saturday.
Diamonds Steak and
Seafood in Royal Oak is the
kind of neighborhood restau-
rant that people look for and
enjoy.
WITH HER SON, Kelly
Cobb, now helping her,
Susan Cobb, boss-gal at
Birmingham’
s Hunter House
Hamburgers, recently gave
it a 68th birthday present …
A third truck with the same
menu as the restaurant for
its corporate events, private
parties, weddings, etc. … The
trucks are used even during
the winter months if the
weather allows.
Having her son Kelly full
time now is a huge blessing
… Kelly has designed the
new third truck and trained
the food truck staffs to drive,
load and attend events … He
is a most blessed addition
to the wonderful Hunter
House and a huge help to
his mom … Hunter House
Hamburgers in Birmingham
is not only open for its 68th
birthday … but better than
ever!
MAIL DEPT. … From
Judie and Larry Weisman …
“We’
ve eaten at the Bistro Le
Bliss on Orchard Lake Road,
just south of Maple, several
times. The food is consistent-
ly excellent. My family has
tried many of its dishes, some
that people may not find
anywhere else, and found
them to be wonderful and far
beyond our expectations.”
OLDIE BUT GOODIE
DEPT. … As a senior citi-
zen was driving on I-95 in
Florida, his cell phone rang.
Answering it, he heard his
dear wife’
s voice urgently
warning him, “Herman, I just
saw on the news that a car is
going the wrong way on I-95.
Please be very careful!”
“Hell, Sadie,” said Herman.
“It’
s not just one. There are
hundreds of them!”
CONGRATS … To Ellen
Charfoos on her birthday …
To Helen Pricer on her birth-
day.
