Dirty Dog Jazz Café

On the Kercheval strip in Gross Pointe Farms is a fine little restaurant that serves some tantalizing vittles and Wed-Saturday showcases live music. The name is deceiving, because it is not a laid back, beer-and-a-shot bar, but a classy dining facility that even serves up foie gras. Their prix fixe menu consists of a house salad and then choice of 7 entrées and a dessert for $35. They also have a wide assortment of those delicious little tapas.
