Rest in peace, (formerly existed as) Cyprus Taverna - 579 Monroe Street Detroit, MI 48226-2932

So instead of the usual review, let this be a tribute. John and I were both sad and shocked to find that Cyprus Taverna had suddenly closed when we went to that area last night. We were just talking about going there to get some of their famous Lamb Riganato that came with a generous amount of rice with tomato sauce, green beans, and potatoes. The waiter used to tell us that if we don't love it, they'll pay for it but of course we always loved it. We used to go there every year after going to the North American International Auto Show, I even chose it over all other restaurants in Detroit to celebrate my 29th birthday at with my friends. It was open just a couple of weeks ago when John brought his coworkers down to the Greektown Casino area as part of their tour of Detroit. When we looked in, everything was demolished, and there was a handwritten sign from the owners thanking the customers for our business over the years. Lamb wasn't their only awesome dish, their fish was just as good. According to a friend there's a nearby restaurant that serves a comparable Lamb Rigonato dish. We shall see.
