"It's a very unfortunate thing. I've always had a good relationship with the Ilitch family, but it's a completely different culture with Chris Ilitch. It's disheartening to think you would be good enough to be in their building for so long ... and now they will dismiss someone and not show any loyalty to a longtime tenant," restaurant owner Barbieri Kolinski told the Metro Times.
The Grille was a popular spot for people to have lunch or dinner before attending a show at the Fox or Fillmore, or attending a Tigers, Lions or Red Wings game.
