Historic Amherstburg
Spent the weekend a few miles south of Detroit in Amherstburg, Ontario. All the charm of a small Canadian town with a few unexpected gems thrown in. We arrived by boat, thanks to the captainship of good friend, Jeff Trombley, and his vessel.
Dinner Friday night was at Caldwell's Grant. The alluring atmosphere of the open-window restaurant is surpassed only by the incredible selection of menu offerings. I had the Seafood Jambalaya, which rivals anything I've tried in New Orleans.
To top it off, the owner, Grant, is one of the nicest people you could meet.
The next day we tried a somewhat hard-to-find little Italian placed called Don-Luciano's Place. Authentic Italian cuisine, served to perfection. Luciano was kind enough to offer us complimentary shots of sambuca and engage us with entertaining conversation.
I can't recommend either of these places enough.
I can't forget to mention a fun new place call Uncle Vito's Rythem Kitchen. The perfect place to go after dinner. Live music, dancing, pool, and even a two lane bowling alley were enough to keep us entertained late into the evening.
If you're in the Great Lakes region and are looking or a little weekend getaway, Amherstburg is a perfect choice.
