Monroe Street Steakhouse: a hidden Greektown gem

After a long day’s work, I have one question on my mind.  What's for dinner?  Luckily, Detroit has mutiple answers to my hunger.  Downtown has a variety of dining options that cover a multitude of ethnicities ranging from Greek, Arabic, Italian, Japanese, Polish, Cuban, and Chinese.      
Much of the attention in recent months has focused on the opening of the newest Buffalo Wild Wings franchise on the corner of Randolph and Monroe at the edge of Greektown.  While I’m all for having a new chain open downtown and will likely indulge in boneless wings on Thursdays, I want to take this opportunity to discuss another Greektown dining option that is unique to Detroit.
Monroe Street Steakhouse is located at 561 Monroe between St. Antoine and Beaubien.  This gem, nestled in the heart of Greektown specializes in serving USDA Choice or Higher steaks and Certified American lamb chops that are charbroiled to your preference.  If you are not in the carnivorous mood, try the numerous nonmeat options like the lobster tail, salmon, or fettuccini Alfredo.
Most visitors associate Greektown dining with the showmanship displayed during the serving of Saganaki, the flaming cheese dish served at restaurants like New Parthenon Restaurant and Pegasus Tavernas.  Monroe Street Steakhouse has the opposite appeal.  Expect a low key atmosphere where customer service and food execution take precedent. 
I think part of the attraction to the restaurant industry is its dynamic nature with the openings and closings of businesses daily.  Yet, much more can be said about the establishments that stay open and maintain a loyal following.  Bon appétit.

  2. And if you feel that a websites doesn't provide a clear picture with the jewelry which will help you to choose your jewel you happen to be wrong. So why use online jewelry stores and how will you know the correct for you. If you need a wedding jewelry that is totally inexpensive then it is possible to choose jewelry made from Swarovski crystals, gold, and metals and precious stones.
