Pearl’s Deep Dive
If you’re looking for an internationally-influenced high-end a la carte restaurant with great seafood, Pearl’s Deep Dive is the place to go. The menu isn’t the largest, but all the dishes are cooked perfectly and the menu contains many interesting items. Popular choices here include the crab cakes and the lobster mac and cheese, and for those who don’t eat seafood, an 8oz wagyu steak is also available, cooked to your liking.
Cocktails are also available to complement your meal, but please remember to drink responsibly, never drink and drive, and always ensure everyone drinking is of the legal age.
Detroit Pho and Crab Restaurant
If you’re looking for something a little bit different, try driving over to the nearby town of Warren, where you will discover this little gem. Detroit Pho and Crab Restaurant brings the flavors of Southeast Asia to Michigan and utilizes creative cooking techniques – including both Asian and Western styles – to offer some dishes you won’t find anywhere else around the state.
The main offering here is seafood in a bag, where you select your seafood, sides, spices, and seasonings and it all gets boiled freshly to order, but there are also entrees, fried combo meals, po’boy sandwiches, and of course, pho.
These are just a few of the great places to enjoy seafood around Highland Park. Now the only hard part is working out which one to drive to first!
