Week of 6-23

My perennial dining companion and I ate out twice this week. We went to Moe's on 10 Mile for the first time in Novi (just past Haggerty). I ordered a special - Key West Whitefish which was basically a whitefish crusted with thyme and basil and grilled. Very Good. Came with an adequate house salad. My companion ordered yellow fin tuna with red bell pepper coulis and was equally pleased (although he had a little entree envy over my whitefish which really was nice) although his choice of chicken soup was a better call than my salad. We will visit again. Part of the fun was counting the fish in the tank by the bar.

We met for dinner in Ferndale on Friday (which I am starting to love) at Josephine's on 9 Mile. 9 Mile is unfortunately under construction which seems to have stifled the normal Friday night crowd on a gorgeous (if muggy) Friday night. Crepes are the specialty of the house and I had a wonderful Wild Mushroom crepe (it had chevre cheese in it) which was just tremendous and my perennial dining companion had a Spinach crepe which was also quite good (although I contend mine was better). We had a seared scallop appetizer to start which was really well done also. You should visit (I hate to think of the struggling restaurants with 1/2 of 9 mile shut down). Parking was easily available behind Assagi (also worth the visit, see April posts) north of 9 Mile and east of Woodward. We will definitely go back. Ferndale is full of great restaurants.
