September Reviews - five establishments
Matty J's (972 E. Michigan Ave., Saline) A bakery and more, definitely more. Curbside only right now and they close at 2 PM. But you have to order early, really early to get the Brioche Rolls (which are now only available on Friday and Saturday). We found the sandwiches (Vegan Veggie and Chipolte Turkey Avocado) to be outstanding. The Sunflower Rye is just one of the half dozen breads available. By the way, Matty J's supplies bread to several locations in and around Saline. Next time, we're going for the Deep Dish Quiche.
Seva (2541 Jackson Ave.) Carry out, curbside and limited seating. The to-go menu is more limited than the dine-in but we had no issues satisfying our gastronomic needs. Greek Quinoa Salad, Asparagus Ravioli, Black Bean & Sweet Potato Quesadilla and Cilantro-Peanut Stir Fry satisfied another socially-distanced gathering of four.
Bell's Diner (2167 W. Stadium Blvd.) Look there are a lot of good diner dishes at Bell's Diner. Our problem is that they serve a great Bi-Bim-Bop, which means we never get to any of the other good stuff. There is a comprehensive Korean menu at Bell's along with great diner breakfast offerings (or so we've been told). A full grill menu of burgers, hot dogs and fresh sandwiches are also available. But they make a great Bi-Bim-Bop.
Le Dog (306 S. Main St.) Yes, Le Dog is back. They reopened Mid-September and yes, the Lobster Bisque is on the menu Thursday and Friday. But all the rest of the soups are also available and highly recommended. Expect future reviews of the wide variety of soupy options and the occasional wiener. But leave it said: the lobster bisque is rich, perfectly seasoned, plenty of lobster bits. You will need to pick-up a loaf of crusty bread to sop it all up.
No Thai (Kerrytown) Yes, for the third consecutive month No Thai makes our list. Another socially-distanced lunch with friends at our home. We have managed to find one tiny complaint, when ordering the mild heat on a dish many times there are little pockets of medium or even higher spice. For some this is a short sinus-clearing moment, for others its a lunchtime shock.
