Ostrea Seafood

"The owners behind downtown’s iconic London Chop House have opened Ostrea Seafood on the ground level of the Murphy Telegraph Building at W. Congress and Shelby streets. If the steakhouse around the corner is dedicated to thick cuts of meat and red wine, consider this the splashy neighbor catering to your caviar and Champagne whims. Splurge on decadent menu items like oysters, grilled swordfish, lobster, and tuna tartare, order from the full bar, and enjoy the opulence from comfortable seating. To find the entrance, be on the lookout for a 9-foot-tall mermaid sculpture attached to signage saying “the world is your oyster.” So posh." - Serena Maria Daniels

"Ostrea is an ostentatious new seafood restaurant in Downtown Detroit from the ownership behind London Chop House. Located on the ground level of the Murphy Telegraph Building, Ostrea features a fairly extensive raw bar with both East and West Coast oysters, chilled lobster, shrimp, salmon tartare, plus an option for the ever-decadent seafood tower. Highlights from Ostrea’s “warm compositions” menu include uni bucatini, cioppino, shellfish chowder, and crab rangoon raviolo. There’s also caviar service. Ostrea isn’t cheap, but it’s a destination for those looking to splurge on seafood in an elegant setting. — Danny Palumbo" - Serena Maria Daniels
