When will it ever end? The roll call of new eateries is getting difficult to keep track of as seen in this Freep.com Article. I've only made it to two on the list - Ottava Via and La Feria - loved the first - the second was so so but they had just opened and I hear they have improved greatly.

Any reviews or thoughts? BTW the Freep use of term downtown is rather broad. Here is the roll call.

Wright & Co., 1500 Woodward: in the stately old Wright Kay building in the heart of downtown at Woodward and John R.

Antietam, 1428 Gratiot: This meticulously restored Art Deco spot in the Eastern Market district opened softly last week.

Taqo Detroit, 22 W. Adams: Opened July 1, this three-level, 5,000-square-foot restaurant features a big Mexican menu.

Downtown Louie’s Lounge, 30 Clifford: A hidden gem just west of Woodward and south of Grand Circus Park

Ottava Via, 1400 Michigan: Set in an atmospheric old bank… Patio with fireplace in back.

Two James Spirits, 2445 Michigan: first licensed distillery in Detroit since Prohibition… doesn't serve food yet..

La Feria, 4130 Cass: charming tapas place near Wayne

Craft Work, 8047 Agnes: Set in the artfully renovated former Harlequin Café in historic West Village

The Grille Midtown, 3919 Woodward: New building next to restored theater

On the way

Top of the Pontch, 2 Washington Blvd.: contemporary fine-dining menu should be a match for the sweeping view and impressive room.

Selden Standard, 3921 Second near Honest? Johns
Guns + Butter, 1301 Broadway

Republic, 1942 Grand River: Set in the castle-like GAR Building at Grand River and Cass.

Gold Cash Gold, Wabash and Michigan: Thanks to a two-year rehab involving Corktown’s Cooley family, a onetime pawnshop with “Gold Cash Gold” emblazoned on its side

Dime Store, 719 Griswold: In the Dime Bldg.
