Popular Oakland Co. Restaurant Reopening Wednesday After Storm Damage

FERNDALE, MI — A popular Oakland County seafood restaurant is reopening this week after it was forced to close due to storm damage nearly two weeks ago.

Voyager, located at 600 Vester Street in Ferndale, closed on April 17 after a roof from another business landed onto the restaurant due to a powerful storm that hit the area. The restaurant suffered significant exterior damage.

The restaurant plans to reopen Wednesday.

"After the storm on 4/17, these last two weeks have felt like two years. Our first real experience with co-mingling insurance companies, public utilities and community stakeholders has been a doozy (and it’s ongoing), but we’re ready to come out firing. We’re still sorting out a few items, like our half-working HVAC system (we hope to have it all set by Wednesday) and smashed-up dumpster gate, but other than that we’re ready to get shuckin’ again," Voyager said in a social media post.

The seafood restaurant is best known for its oysters, peel and eat shrimp and snow crab.
