A new dining trio will open in
November atop the Detroit RenCen,
replacing Coach Insignia, which closed
in 2017.
James Beard Award-winning
chef Shawn McClain and his part-
ners, Sarah Camarota and Richard
Camarota, are working on a multi-con-
cept project called Highlands that will
feature three concepts and epic private
events space by McClain Camarota
Hospitality and designed by Rockwell
Group.
Restaurant and bar/lounge concepts
will include Highlands Steakhouse,
an unexpected riff on a classic steak-
house with an epic collection of wine;
Hearth 71 a funky, casual restaurant
with locally sourced dishes and indie
microbrews all circled around a blaz-
ing fire; and High Bar a bar/lounge
offering a fun atmosphere and inno-
vative cocktails by celebrated Master
Mixologist and Michigan-native Tony
Abou-Ganim.
Guests seeking signature, highly
curated events can look to Highlands
Events, where a team of creative
experts will curate hyper-customizable
events with stunning top-of-tower
views as the backdrop.
Highlands is scheduled to open this
November. ■
