Detroit’s Biggest Restaurant and Bar Openings, July 2025 | Eater Detroit

"Housed in a historic Oakland County property and replacing a longtime local grill that closed at the end of 2023 after 16 years, this seafood-forward spot brings East Coast vibes and cuisine to Franklin. Executive chef Nick Geftos shucks oysters and prepares seafood dishes such as seared octopus glazed in truffle hot honey and clams linguine; weekend brunch is offered, and the space includes patio seating plus an intimate private dining room upstairs. The restaurant is from Thyme and Place Hospitality, which also plans to open a neighboring cafe called Polly’s later this year." - Jeffy Mai
