The Pool Restaurant at the Henry Ford Estate was voted as the most unique setting for lunch in the magazine's hunt for the best of the best in metro Detroit - Detroit’s HOUR Magazine June 2003.

Lovely Luncheoning . . . If you're one of the ladies who lunch, have I found the place for you. I don’t know why the ladies haven’t put The Pool on their circuit yet; perhaps it’s a bit far from West Bloomfield and the Pointes. But The Pool is exactly their kind of place. It’s also the place for people with jobs who crave a sanctuary of green and flowers in the middle of the working day.

Smoked chicken and portabella salad is tangy and topped with pine nuts. Tomato, beef vegetable and French onion soups are all house-made. The onion is sweet and winey; the beef uses good-sized chunks, real tomatoes and noodles that look homemade. - - Detroit's Metrotimes .
