Restaurants near the Fox Theater

Hello,

we are going to the fox Theater for the Color Purple on Saturday April 18 and have a couple questions.

1) We are looking for a nice up-scale restaurant specializing in Steak and Seafood near the Theater

2) We were wondering if there is a shuttle service from the Canadian side of the border that goes to the Fox Theater.

Thanks for any help you can provide,

Cheers,

Jarrod

I would suggest Mario%26#39;s. It%26#39;s not within walking distance of the Fox Theater, but they have a shuttle to and from the Fox. I have had both the steak and seafood there and I%26#39;m a huge fan. Please feel free to check out the menu.

DaEdoardo is located next door to the fox and they have a nice menu, however I wouldn%26#39;t exactly say they have the seafood and steak that you%26#39;re looking for.

Another suggestion would be Andiamo Riverfront, once again its not close to the Fox, but they have the steak and seafood that you%26#39;re looking for. They are located in the GM building and they provide a great veiw of the riverfront.

Restaurants near the Fox Theater

RESTAURANTS. DA EDUARDO in the same block at the Fox Theatre (so park just once). ROAST in the Westin Book Cadillac Hotel, about 5 blocks south of the Fox. THE WHITNEY, about a mile north of the Fox on the same street (Woodward Avenue). MONROE STREET STEAK HOUSE in Greektown, about 6 blocks southeast from the Fox. Have been to the first three, but not Monroe Steak House.

There are a number of other possibilities as well.

SHUTTLE. Transit Windsor has an occasional shuttle service for events in Detroit, but I don%26#39;t know if they will be operating it for The Color Purple. Might be worth checking.

Hmmm... Is the Alley Grille still in business? That would be a choice, as well as The Woodward (across from Detroit Breakfast House).

AddieBee- Not sure if the Alley Grille is still operating. There is a January 2009 review here on Trip Advisor, however, so maybe it is.

The TA member said that they used to enjoy the restaurant but titled their review ';Not a place you want to eat at'; and it went downhill from there. No other reviews posted and I haven%26#39;t eaten there, so have no personal opinion.

What about any of the casino restos - like SaltWater or Bourbon Steaks. I don%26#39;t gamble so I don%26#39;t go into those places. My BF and I try to stick to more ethnic type eateries anyway.

No shuttle that I%26#39;m aware of. You could get a Tunnel Bus in Windsor, take it to Detroit to a People Mover station (Ren Cen probably) and get yourself over near the Fox (use Grand Circus People Mover stop) that way.

If you%26#39;re going to be out very late, note closing times for People Mover and (?) Tunnel Bus.

Here%26#39;s an alternate site for Detroit restaurant reviews. It%26#39;s yelp.com/detroit filtered for downtown restaurants.

Ooh! Almost forgot! The new Detroit Fish Market has gotten good write ups in the papers here.

It%26#39;s on Randolph.

The Woodward has closed, Alley%26#39;s is still open.

DaEduardo%26#39;s inside the Fox is very good.

I%26#39;d try ROAST at the Book-Cadillac, or Finn %26amp; Porter at the Fort Shelby.

Iridescense high atop the MotorCity Casino is also quite nice, as are the Michael Mina and Wolfgang Puck restaurants in MGM
