I don't know how to quantify any of this, but I would say, excepting maybe downtown Detroit, there is no place in Metro Detroit with comparable restaurant quality.
Forest Grill is probably the best restaurant in Michigan. There are a whole host of very good restaurants. I can't think of really any unacceptably bad "nice" restaurants, like you have in Royal Oak, with abominations like Sangria, Andiamo, Mr. B's, or Little Tree.
There aren't many cheap sit-down places [[some mediocre Thai and Indian places) compared to other suburbs, because you don't have the ethnic communities and cheap strip malls here. If you want good Vietnamese or wherever, it's off to Madison Heights.
