The Detroit riverfront area has seen revitalization and growth over the past years, partly due to organizations, such as the Detroit RiverFront Conservancy, who have worked to develop and improve the area. Those visiting the riverfront area will find many restaurants, from casual brew pubs to fine dining venues. Cuisines range from authentic Italian to burgers or Prime Certified Angus Beef. Restaurant guests can enjoy a view of the river or a stroll along the Detroit International RiverWalk after their meal.
The Signature Grill is located along the river in the Riverfront Towers complex adjacent to Joe Louis Arena, and boasts on its website that it offers "Detroit's best riverside view." The restaurant caters to the pre- and post-game crowd attending Red Wings, Lions or Tigers games. The dinner menu offers small plate appetizers, signature pizzas, main course entrees, deserts and an abbreviated bar menu. The restaurant also offers a Sunday brunch and a Karaoke night.
