COURTESY OF PUBLICCITY PR 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. ■ Taste of Southfield T he Southfield Area Chamber of Commerce will hold its 16th annual “Taste of Southfield” (TOS) event on Tuesday, Sept. 10, from 5-8 p.m. at the Shriners Silver Garden Events Center, 24350 Southfield Road.
