EVERYDAY PEOPLE CAFÉ
DOUGLAS, MICHIGAN

EVERY DAY IN EVERY WAY

The casual atmosphere of Everyday People Café belies the complexity of its gourmet cuisine.

Everyday People CafeTo say that the frequently changing menu is innovative is an understatement. Presentation and creative combination of flavors and top-quality ingredients lend multi-dimensional depths to dishes that wow the taste buds as well as the eyes, and this carries through from appetizers to spectacular desserts.

"It is a storefront - not too romantic ... but the food is just right and the staff personable," wrote one panelist.

The attentive wait staff goes the extra mile, replenishing silverware with each course and keeping water glasses full. Service equates to the perfect amalgamation of courtesy, friendliness, hospitality and professionalism, underscored by a thorough knowledge of the menu and companionable wines.

"And the staff does a great job with small children," wrote one panelist.

The wine list is impressive and extensive, with a focus on food-pairing partners. The menu even suggests the appropriate bin numbers meant to enhance the flavors of each dish. The full bar includes after-dinner drink specialties and rare ports.

Smoke-free, the restaurant and bar are an eclectic mix of ingredients that combine to form a casual-yet-upscale ambiance. A soothing selection of low-key music plays, and candles and fresh flowers top the tables that are covered in tan linen and white butcher paper.

Depression-era green and amber dishware along on glassed-in wall evoke visions of an old diner. The original tin ceiling overhead is adorned with modern light fixtures that set a low-key mood, and eye-appealing artwork graces the walls.
