Bloomfield Hills, MI Est. in 1928, prior to becoming a restaurant this location was an Old English style Inn as well as an apartment complex. There also use to be a tunnel under the building that traveled across the street for smuggling alcohol durring prohibition times.
It is one of the most expensive restaurants on the states, and it's said every night around 11:30 pm, the cooks notice that all the pots and pans fall out of the shelves. They noticed this for about 12 times then put them on the ground. The next morning they are back on the top shelves.

July 14, 2007 UPDATE:
As we conducted a follow up investigation, we unfortunately did not have any personal experiences nor possible paranormal evidence captured.
We did however conclude that:
The smell of perfume near the womans bathroom was caused by a time released air freshener above the entry.
What was thought to be a possible orange orb appearing in a photo originated from a reflection in a light fixture.
Audio of a piano near staircase was possibly due to background music in resturaunt area.
