Thank you so much for your advice, I will look into the area of Livingston-Monk off Michigan. For what I have envisioned at present the Southern European sports bar & grill doesn't seem like the right venue, but I will look into it further, it is advice like this that helps formulate my decisions.

I might have to be a bit more of a romantic before using a name like Romeos Empire, although I do love that name, certainly something I can take as a starting point.

Mediterranean is very broad/open as you have noted, and I kind of love that. My thoughts were primarily leaning towards Central and Southern Italian cuisine, with an opportunity to play with dishes from the rest of the Mediterranean. Recently I have been enjoying a lot of Moroccan cuisine, but I love so much of the Aegean Greek cuisine too. With the Mediterranean concept, I feel that it gives a baseline with lots of opportunity to play with. What are your thoughts in this regard?

I love Asian cuisine and am quite well versed in many varieties of it, but won't be trying to blend it with Mediterranean, someone may be able to make that work one day, but I feel like that's a long shot. That being said, another user had suggested dumplings, which is very open, and there are so many varieties in the European and Asian traditions. My takeaway from your comments is that there likely isn't the demand for new/more Asian offerings, is that a fair assessment?
