Seros used to be a great place for a quick, cheap, family dinner. A few months back we went there for dinner and it was AWFUL, our server was rude, and it was dirty. Food was not even edible (they served "goulash" that looked and tasted like spaghetti), prices higher then ever. I have a hard time believing this place will be able to survive with all of the great places to eat AND drink just down the street in downtown Rochester, unless they MUCH improve the quality of the food, waitstaff, and cleanliness of the place.

Thanks for the great photo. Years back we passed a city ordinance that was to remove all the ugly poll signs from Rochester Hills. Was a progressive approach many suburban new towns were doing at the time to create future upscale residential communities. We followed the national example and gave our business community 10 years to replace them with ground monument signs. 10 years later Mayor Bryan Barnett business community political contributors wined and complained they love their tall and ugly poll signs so our Mayor throughout the ordnance... after many others did comply.

You see our Mayor does not understand what is an upscale residential community looks like; but he is brilliant in understanding campaign contributions buy votes... and forwards one's personal political career.

Scot, I agree the pole signs are terrible. It is looking more like Van Dyke everyday. Is there anything that can be done about this or are we at the mercy of fighting the slate? Are you able to find out when the city ordinance was changed and who voted to do so? I would like to hear Doug's opinion on this one.

Visual clutter or pollution is on the rise all over--it only serves to detract. Regardless of sign ordinances there are far too many. I would hate to see this continue to grown in this area and this manner. The most "charming" communities seem to have the least amount of signage and the most appropriate in both size and design. Bigger and higher is not always better.
Also, this past November I took my parents to Lucky's Steakhouse in Bay City-it was my treat and their choice-they live there, the food and service was great.

Once the no smoking ban went into effect, Seros lost a lot of their clientele from Lake Orion.

If this "Lucky's" is anything like the locations in Davison and Imaly City we are in for a treat. The steaks are amazing and very reasonably priced. I know from first hand experience that it is almost impossible to get seated on Friday and Saturday nights at the Davison restaurant. Good luck to Lucky's!!!

Do we really need alcohol to be successful? I am glad to see Seros re-invent themselves rather than close their doors. We don't need another vacant building. Best of luck to Lucky's Prime Time!!

Do we really need another local establishment serving alcohol and "dancing"? Seems to work well for Main Street Billiards in keeping out the undesirables. Just check the Rochester police reports.

Bryan Barnett will never realize that people are more important than strip malls. He has made this abundantly clear during his time as Mayor.

Heard all great things about Lucky's. Can't wait to get there myself.

Yes, i was the biggest proponent to stop and modify the sign ordinance. The ordinance timeline would have placed such a financial burden on the business owners who helped make Rochester Hills the great place it is today. The ordinance was changed to comply if sign changes were made and new ones erected. Those who can not modify themselves to a change regarding their original ordinance vote is not very adaptable to other changes that go with the creation of such a great city.

My husband and I have gone to Serro's for brunch after Mass on Sundays for years. The staff has always been friendly and hellpful, especially the hostess. And, they offer the best breakfast selection in the area. It is true that it could have been cleaner because it was in need of a renovation. So now it is renovated and I expect to be back on Sunday mornings. Sorry to see that the politicians turned this announcement of a business re-opening into a political debate about signage. Can't we just rejoice that this longstanding business made the investment to stay open?
