Intermezzo - Fine Italian dining. Floor-to-ceiling windows look out on tiny Harmonie Park, and just around the corner lays the burgeoning theater district crowned by the Detroit Opera House and the Gem Theatre. The Whitney - The atmosphere is fantastic, elegant yet comfortable. The cuisine is among the best in the metro area. The Whitney is always a first pick for a romantic evening, especially with the Opera House nearby. It is no wonder this restaurant is at the top of everyone's list. Union Street - During the day, students and faculty frequent here. However, during the evening, theatre patrons and others in search of culture are the norm. An Art Deco style and worn hardwood floors inside hint to the rich history of the building. Traffic Jam and Snug Restaurant - The crowd is as eclectic as the menu, with before-and-after-theater business a mainstay. Serving American and fake French cuisine.
