    My customized seafood boil: headless shrimp, black mussels, and crawfish.
    Brittany D.

    I had a craving for seafood and there's nothing better than a seafood boil. The Mad Crab offers a variety of seafood choices including shrimp, lobster tail, crawfish and of course, crab legs. I decided to create my own boil to include a pound of head off shrimp, crawfish, and black mussels. I chose to blend all of their spices together with medium spice level. Customer service was great - still only takeout due to Covid precautions. Even though I ordered there, my food was ready in about 10 minutes. I think it was a tad bit pricey for those 3 items but if they found a way to keep the same quality and lower their prices, I definitely think they would be even more successful.

    Yummy buttery garlicky goodness from Mad Crab in Oak Park. I got the lunch special with crawfish and shrimp and it medium spic with garlic butter sauce it had a kick but was so oh so good!! Service was quick restaurant was clean and my order was steaming hot when I arrived. They also sent lots of napkins and gloves with my order which was definitely needed for the buttery goodness!! I gave it 5 because of the taste and freshness of the food!! Wish they would've had drinks displayed because I was looking for that in my rush to get back to the office. Also could've used one of those plastic bibs I walked around with butter garlic drips the rest of the day!! Hehe well worth it.

    The food is rotten and the staff are nasty. Don't spend your money here. Really dirty inside, too. Wouldn't ever come back.

    Stopped into Voyager in Ferndale and came away impressed. The restaurant has a cool, unique…read morevibe--it looks like it may have been converted from an old mechanic's garage. It's relatively small inside, but the outdoor seating is comfortable, and the bar looks like a great place to sit if you can grab a seat. The service was outstanding. Everyone knew the menu inside and out, had great recommendations, and kept everything moving at the perfect pace. We tried both the hot and cold lobster rolls, and both were excellent. The Millennium Falcon seafood tower was the star of the meal--fresh, beautifully presented, and absolutely worth ordering. The oysters were some of the best I've had recently, especially considering we're this far from the ocean. The crab dip was unique, flavorful, and something I'd happily order again. The only dish that didn't quite hit for me was the lobster gnocchi. It was presented beautifully, but for my palate there was just a little too much tarragon in the cream sauce. That's more of a personal preference than a flaw in the dish. The restrooms were clean, parking is limited, but so is the seating, so it seems to balance out. Overall, there's really not much bad to say about Voyager. Excellent seafood, knowledgeable service, and a fun atmosphere make it one of the better dining experiences in the area. I'd gladly return

While it wasn't totally full, I was still surprised at how busy it was so I would try and make a reservation. Decently sized bar and a fair amount of seats but it's a relatively small interior. Our waitress was fantastic. She walked us through the specials and was extremely patient with us trying to decide what all to order. 10/10 service. The food was spectacular. We started with a dozen oysters. They were fantastic. Didn't even need cocktail sauce or mignonette. We also did an order of the buffalo halibut cheeks which was a special. Wow. What a dish. Not too spicy in part because of the ranch that came with it; the cheeks were perfectly cooked. They could not have been more tender. One of the best bites I've had in quite some time. We did another dozen oysters which came from a different spot. I thought that was a nice touch. For $2 an oyster, they were begging us to order haha. Seriously though; fantastic deal. Finally, I had the fish sandwich. The tartare sauce was a bit overpowering but I liked the taste so no complaints. Fish was perfectly fried and I liked the inclusion of pickles of which there were many. A very solid fish sandwich. They brought us a brownie and a bit of ice cream on the house which I very much appreciated. Talk about a delicious brownie. It had no right being that good. Must order. Glad I finally tried Voyager and I can't wait to return. I could see this getting a Bib Gourmand Michelin recognition next year.

Parking was no problem as I was lucky to find metered parking just steps away from the front door. I walked in immediately taken with the charming decor and darkly lit romantic vibes, which is my favorite esthetic for any restaurant. The seating at the bar was yummy, thick comfy seats. The bartender greeted me warmly. He was cool and I hate that I didn't ask his name. He was attentive and masterful with the spirits. He asked if it was my first time, which it was, and since so, made me a tasty "welcome" drink with gin that was fantastic. I also ordered "the panty snatcher" a concoction of vodka, grapefruit, St Germain, rose water and orange. It was amazing. I will definitely be back for drinks. The drink menu is quite tempting. I had the Corn, Corn, Corn dish, which is polenta and corn kernels topped with popcorn. Yes, super unique and interesting. I had to try it. The popcorn was so light and flavorful straight out of the kitchen, but became chewy as it sat atop the piping hot polenta. I really enjoyed it however. Next time I'll eat all the popcorn first. I also had lobster dumplings, which was good but the dish wasn't cooked through. The filling wasn't hot and the pasta was very under on some bites. I was the first customer for the evening, so I can forgive that faux pas. I really enjoyed myself and I will return time and time again to try everything. The menu offers many things I love. Great concept. Cool vibes.

The overall consensus though was that everything tasted fantastic. Coming from the Bay Area, I have high expectations when it comes to Asian food, so I was pleasantly surprised by how great the pad thai tasted. The clam chowder was creamy and delightful. The crab cakes were the perfect size and not teeny tiny. The lamb ragu was very well done also and my husband is a big fan of lamb so he really enjoyed his meal. Since we were there early, it was quiet which was nice. Would definitely return in the future the next time I am in Michigan.
