Haven't been in years, don't even know if it's still open, but Joe's in Livonia was fantastic back in the day.

That there says more about the diner than the restaurant. Yep, grumpy old waiters/waitresses, the decor is the opposite of chain decor, the oysters are served in an old metal tin and they stick, and it is on my 'the last restaurant to go to before I die' list.

Sorry to disappoint everyone. I stand by my statement that Mosca's is overrated. I really, REALLY wanted to like the place, I just couldn't.

As for the Bourbon Mall, that was one of my favorites... unfortunately, it is no longer around -- burned down a couple years back.

I don't think Robert's Cove is an actual town so the address would be Rayne since that's the closest incorporated town

Without question. Kid wasn't lucky enough to go with a pro. His loss, not ours.
