New restaurant with American fare open now in Greektown

DETROIT (FOX 2) - A new restaurant has opened in downtown Detroit just a few weeks ago, right at the entrance into Greektown. 

Friend & Associate is right at the corner of Monroe and Beaubien streets. 

"Greektown is hopping, I mean it's obviously very busy. But there's a lot of burger places, there's a lot of Greek places, but there was no real kind of progressive, American food with polished service," says Chef Chris Johnson. 

As for the name, it's called Friend & Associate because they want to develop relationships with their customers. Inside, you'll find framed pictures with iconic friendship hints to help you build good relationships.

"It's really about being a facility and a place where we can foster the development of relationships," Johnson says. 

Friend & Associate plans on changing its menu to fit the season.
