The view from the 71st floor of the Renassaince Center was fantastic, views of Windsor, Canada, even watched a Tiger's game in progress in the evening from the Coach Insignia. The lobster corndogs with champagne was a treat, creme brulee' delicious. Enjoyed the flaming cheese from one of the local bars later---so much fun, we had to have it served... more

I was at Greektown recently during our visit to Detroit for a weekend trip this summer. I always enjoy going to the neat restaurants in the area like the Parthenon and of course, Pizza Papalis for some great Chicago style stuffed pizza! There is always a wait at the latter esp. on weekends but it is well worth it, although... more

I read these reviews and wonder what people are looking for when they visit a new city. Greektown is a small area in Detroit that has some fun Greek restaurants and lots of local Greek flavor. Nothing more and nothing less. It has history and a strong reflection of the heritage of the owners of these establishments - many who... more

We hoped to find an interesting area in Detroit to visit and get a cultural feel for the place. Being quite small, it does offer several restaurants, and the Greektown casino, which is a very nice casino. The People Mover is very easy to use, and provides access right at the casino's door. Trapper's Alley is a cool place, a... more

Somehow I keep getting suckered into going to greektown by different people that have never been there, and everytime, I just end up disappointed. Seriously, if you go to one of those nameless restaurants, check out the bathrooms. They are absolutely disgusting. It almost induces vomiting, from the point that . A basic dish like souvlaki and a beer will... more

We live in the Metro Detroit area & visit Greektown several times throughout the year. Parking is free at the Greektown Casino and from there, you can roam around Monroe St. between Beaubien & St. Antoine and find lots of places to eat (small eateries to nice restraurants, and we always head towards one of the bakeries for baklava!) and... more

Greektown is just one street alongside of the casino. Some of the restaurants have seen better days. But ..........if you go knowing that, you can have a good meal and fun. The pastry shoppe is terrific. There are decent places to eat - and some above average. Look for a staff that is , well, GREEK. Talk to the staff,... more

What do folks from Del Ray Beach know?! True there's no Sizzler, tacky T-shirt palace, or Beall's Outlet in Greektown. However, the food is fabulous and it is adjacent to the theater district, Hart Plaza (which hosts festivals all year round) and Fernadale/Royal Oak/Birmingham are just a quick trip up Woodward Ave. more
