Located in charming Canterbury Village. Great food, reasonable prices. Reproduction armor and tapestries complement the "castle". Nice stop after the Michigan Renaissance Festival, or before or after your trip to Southeast Michigan’s newest mega mall.

Good food, family oriented prices. Many of the selections are health concious, and
fit the Weight Watcher program. Serving delicious cabbage soup long before the cabbage
soup diet craze. Also has an extensive regular menu, as well as baked goods.

In addition to monthly feasts with a renaissance flavor, this fine restaurant offers a delicious Sunday brunch, and a variety of evening entertainment during the week.
Earlier this year, O'Mara's neatly solved an entertaining crisis for me. One of my guests was a chef himself, and another guest had written two cookbooks. What would you make for dinner? Right! Reservations it is!. Everyone throughly enjoyed themselves, and no clean up for me!

Dragonmead's microbrew offerings are exceptionally good. I carry a cooler with ice to take the beer home in, just so that the beer stays at a perfect temperature till I get home. In the unlikely event you find yourself with any leftovers, Dragonmead's beer is extremely good in recipes calling for beer.
Too strapped for time to drive over to the east side? Visit O'Mara's. Dragonmead's brews are on tap there. Now, if only O'Mara's would send them food......
