About:A trip to the Century Grille, housed in the same building as Detroit's historic Gem Theatre , is an experience for the eye as well as the stomach. After the club and the adjoining theatre were moved five blocks because of the downtown stadium-building project, developer Chuck Forbes restored and reopened the club as an upscale restaurant and 200-seat dinner theater. Thick carpets, old wood, upholstered chairs, chandeliers and Pewabic tile highlight the decor. Stained glass panels, ornate chandeliers, fireplaces and Pewabic tile were rescued from the downtown YWCA building before it was demolished for the stadiums. It is a place where Continental means North American, like the popular Jack Daniel's ribs, served with the chef's special Caribbean coleslaw. There is also an ample selection of seafood, and the desserts are memorable. Live jazz Thursday through Sunday makes this a truly fascinating piece of the downtown.

    I had dinner at the Century Grill last Friday and experienced the best Filet Mignon I have ever had in my life! We've never been disappointed with a meal there.

    Nice Dinner Spot: Exceptional service and the food is outstanding. Everything is a-la-carte, and somewhat pricey. However, considering the location, atmosphere and the theatre setting, the prices are about right. Get a reservation and plan on dinner being an event of it's own. It took us about 1.5 hours to eat three courses. Waitstaff is great, bar is expensive.
