The very best in Michigan and American comfort foods will grace the menu when Schoolcraft College’s American Harvest Restaurant opens for dinner on October 18. The fall and winter menus will reflect the bounty and quality of local farms and regional suppliers.

“We will continue to present high quality cuisine,” said Bruce Konowalow, director of the Culinary Arts Department. “We have created a menu where the quality, food and price are very attractive.”

Konowalow said the most expensive entrées – the grilled New York strip steak and char grille venison -- will cost about $22, with other entrees priced in the $15 to $17 range.

Other main dishes include Lake Superior whitefish, smoked center-cut pork chops, mushroom dusted sea scallops, a veal and pork meatloaf, half a butter roasted farm grown chicken and vegetarian polenta lasagna. There also will be nightly specials, as well as appetizers, soups and salads.

The restaurant will be open Wednesday, Thursday and Friday from 6 to 9 p.m. Reservations are encouraged but walk-in patrons will be welcomed. For reservations, call 734-462-4488.

Schoolcraft College is a public two-year college, offering classes at the Livonia campus on Haggerty Road between Six and Seven Mile roads, at the Radcliff Center in Garden City and online.
