Master chef Jimmy Schmidt is well known around Detroit for his seafood and meat emporiums. His latest restaurant is a very open, airy and elegant space near the Detroit River. Despite the name, rattlesnake is not served. Lake Ontario pickerel, prime porterhouse steak, perch with watercress sauce, swordfish, oysters and Caesar salad are among the many carefully prepared and presented menu items. The white chocolate ravioli is to die for. Huge flower arrangements and colorful paintings set off the oak tables and chairs in the main dining room. A porch area is also open for dining. This is a classy place.
