About Brine Oyster House

The Brine Oyster House Story

Brine Oyster House brings the spirit of New Orleans to Kercheval Avenue in Grosse Pointe Park. The team set out to create a neighborhood spot that celebrates oysters, coastal flavors, and genuine Midwestern hospitality. Wrought iron accents, lively music, and a bustling oyster bar set the scene for relaxed dinners, celebratory drinks, and nights that feel transportive without leaving the neighborhood.

The Oyster Bar

Oysters are the heartbeat of Brine. The selection changes with the tides and is shucked to order on a bed of ice. Expect East Coast brine, West Coast sweetness, and rotating features that highlight peak season. House mignonettes, classic cocktail sauce, and chef pairings keep things crisp and balanced. Order by the half dozen, full dozen, or build a flight to taste across regions.

Coastal Cooking, Midwest Roots

The kitchen blends Gulf traditions with seasonal ingredients from trusted purveyors. Plates are crafted to let seafood shine: chilled and raw preparations, simply grilled fish, and bistro favorites with coastal touches. Guests who love oysters find plenty of companions on the table, and those seeking hearty plates discover satisfying classics with bright Louisiana cues.

The Bar

Cocktails lean fresh and spirit forward with citrus, bitters, and house infusions. The wine list favors seafood-friendly bottles, sparkling options, and crisp whites, along with a thoughtful selection of reds. Local brews round out the list, giving everyone at the table something they will love.

Live Music & Community

Live music fills the room every weekend. The lineup showcases local talent and adds energy to dinners and late-night drinks. Brine is proud to be part of the Grosse Pointe dining scene and supports area musicians, makers, and suppliers who share a commitment to quality.

Hospitality First

Great service is the standard. Reservations are available for dining room seating, and walk-ins are always welcome when space allows. Bar seats are first come, first served. Last dinner seating is 15 minutes before close so the kitchen can serve each guest with care.
