Sleek seafood venue that adopts a lounge aura with cocktails and music after 9:00 p.m. Come for dinner and stay for live entertainment. Much more than a seafood and martini bar, The Black Pearl evokes the appeal of a classy yet unpretentious boutique venue, perfect for socializing and entertaining.

The Black Pearl is a rare gem, the kind of place discovered and adopted for its charm and welcoming ambiance. From inception, the idea behind The Black Pearl was to reinvent the experience of "comfortable and cool" dining and lounging in the perfect setting of the vibrant heart of downtown Ann Arbor.

Pacific Rim’s unique pan-Asian cuisine reflects the chef’s own Asian-American roots. Duc is ethnically Chinese-Vietnamese but considers himself as much American as Asian. Likewise, he doesn’t see his food as a ‘fusion’ of western and asian cuisine, but as distinctly asian and distinctly western. “I don’t like the term fusion because it connotes the idea of blending two disparate elements and forcing them to work together when they shouldn’t be together.” He describes his food as authentically asian in its careful use of traditional ingredients and flavors coupled with the appropriate cooking styles. Yet it is decidedly western in its commitment to using the finest ingredients, its reliance on basic French techniques and its emphasis on freshness and seasonality. The result is a distinctive menu that draws from the best of both worlds.

The Parliament of Poets

Celebrating Our Common Humanity

Appalled by fascism and oligarchy on Mother Earth, Apollo calls all the poets of the nations to the moon to teach them how to create peace.

The 100-minute solo performance features musical interludes, literary and cosmic projections.

“A memorable invocation began the show and, like a rocket, The Poet of the Moon is propelled into the Cosmos. With a long wooden staff, Glaysher appears like Prospero, a lasting call for peace and unity, a unique type of optimism.” —Theater Pizzazz, Off-Broadway Review, NYC
