The new Voyager team.
Chef Marc Bogoff appears to be out, while owner Eli Boyer hired Chicago-based chefs Justin Tootla and Jennifer Jackson to replace him.
The pair recently relocated to Michigan after consulting, traveling, and hosting a number of pop-ups in the Midwest, according to the release, and their previous career highlights include opening Logan Square’s Thank You Chinese. They also worked at the Chicago seafood-focused supper club, Kinmont.
When Voyager opens, guests can expect to find seafood "sourced from the Great Lakes region along with wild-caught, responsibly farmed, and sustainable seafood options." Plans also include regular oyster education and pairing events.
The restaurant, located at 600 Vester St., will seat 40 guests and features a small outdoor patio facing 9 Mile Road.
