ST. CLAIR SHORES — Nautical Mile Restaurant Week is back with traditional dishes people love and some new dishes for tasting.
Donna Flaherty, director of the Nautical Mile Merchants Association, said people can expect a variety of specials including drinks, meals and appetizers. She also said it’s quite a savings as well.
“It’s just fun, and this time of the year, it’s great before the season opens,” Flaherty said. “You know the season opens traditionally (on) June 1. So, this gives them a chance to come to the Avenue.”
Flaherty said they’ve been hosting this event annually for 20 some years.
“It’s a good refresher for people, especially those who haven’t been to the Mile,” Flaherty said. “It’s (a) promotion of the Nautical Mile.”
The list of participating restaurants includes WaterMark Bar and Grille, Fishbones, Mike’s on the Water, Pat O’Brien’s Tavern, Leo’s Coney Island, Pegasus Taverna, Zef’s Dockside Bar and Kitchen, and Detroit’s Finest.
WaterMark Bar and Grille has three entree specials for the week: shrimp tacos, Diablo pork tacos, a shrimp kebab and a meatball appetizer.
Manager Liz Buffa said she and the staff are excited about restaurant week.
“Great weather, great views,” Buffa said. “Come on in and see us for some good entertainment and food.”
Restaurant week will run Saturday, May 13, through Sunday, May 21. For a look at all the participating restaurants and their specials, visit nauticalmile.org.
