Christines has some good food. And some really cool art pieces hanging on the wall that change out with different artists month by month. There is right now some really cool picture changing/shifting designs in there right now with bright vivid color. I want to say it is holographic but it isn't. Like a kids book you turn sideways and the image changes. Like that. However for just a 12x14 with a simple black frame and glass. $700.00. WTF? R U Serious? In Ferndale? This is the part of Ferndale that pisses me off. The fact we are on 8 mile and they pretend and charge the price of a higher class neighborhood. No no this is still the same old Dale with nice kept yards yes but what goes on in these homes and schools is no better than the other. I would pay no more than 150.00 for those art pieces. Not 700.00. And Christines menu is tasty but at the same time I feel out of place eating there with the yup yups invading the neighborhood. Pretending this area is upper class. While they have ductape holding their headlight on. Or wearing their 60s black frame glasses acting trendy or gay looking at me in my street wear like I am out of place or the wrong place. Sit down with my slurpee just got at 7 eleven sit down and order something. The girl that works there sometimes acts snotty n snobby or better at times I feel. Gives my girl a pickle with her sandwich but not mine. Or when I ask for a pound of redskin potato salad which they make with some greens it has such a light eat it up taste. She says "boy your metabolism must be high." huh? How about this is good ass food and i'm going to eat it up yum!!! haha. Meanwhile places like this pretend to be upper class I look at the cheap air conditioner and crappy central air, wall falling apart with cracks and paint chipping. A dirty glass window and a counter of stainless in nice design but when I leaned on it to pay the bill it fell over on the register. lol. 8 dollar sandwiches, 700 dollar art pieces and you can't afford to put a angle bracket for 1 dollar and 6 screws for 50 cents to hold your counter? Just makes me think of the mold that could be growing under it after I did move it. eww. Places like AppleBees, Chilis and other places with lots of color, decoration and they are a big chain. The independents I feel add some fancy drop lights, tear out the cielings bare and paint, strip the floor to the crete lay no tile, paint the walls a modern or different color. And call it fancy or classy. No. Craftsmanship makes a place classy and prestigious. Time taken into the crafts. Not a simple computer image printed selling for 700 and no one on one time personally taken into painting it. No. For what is pretended. In the end you are still working class. The breads and meats you get are no better. The plates and silverware is no better. The table is wobbly and my lemonade which is homemade :-) just spilled. I think pricing and expectation is ridiculous these days. This place is no better than 3 sisters in Rochester. A hole in the wall with great food. The great food comes with the taste of slow cooked and homemade. It is not the fancy lights. I guess the funny part is the fact this nice restaurant is in a shopping center plaza with the unemployment and employment office. Kind of ironic.
