Rugby Grille's $55 Burger Is 'Extremely Rich'; Parkside Is 'Unabashedly American'

Serena Maria Daniels gets fish and chips at Huron Room: "The filets taste light, refreshing, and not overly fried. They're also served in abundance, especially in the sandwich, so order if you've got the appetite to match," the critic writes, noting that each order of fish and chips comes with glass spray bottle of malt vinegar. Items, like the fish tacos and Peking pheasant, however, "fell flat." Daniels likes the Scotch quail egg skewers. [Metro Times]

Molly Abraham visits Parkside in Auburn Hills: Chef Adam Hightower's menu is "unabashedly American. There is a long list of sandwiches and burgers, including such down-home choices as tuna salad (it's his mother's recipe, the chef says), grilled cheese made with cheddar and American cheeses, roast turkey and that old school lunch standby, liverwurst, jazzed up with red onion, pickles and lettuce." Condiments are also made in house. Abraham gives Parkside two and a half stars. [Detroit News]
