The Highlands area keeps growing, with exciting things happening all the time in this district. Highland Pacific brings a seafood and oyster-bar theme with lots of pizzazz. The very modern space is divided into two rooms, with the bar the focal point in the front. Enjoy oysters, shrimp or dinner here or choose the “green” room for watching the kitchen at work. Start with lump-crab cakes with remoulade and spicy cocktail sauce, duck-confit dumplings or plump, delicious mussels topped with irresistible frites and garlic aioli for dipping. The marinated vegetable salad brings wonderfully roasted tomatoes, peppers, onions, asparagus and artichokes with olive oil and toasted focaccia. The slow-roasted salmon with basmati pilaf and vegetables with hoisin, the seared scallops with celery root pureé and seafood cioppino in tomato broth are a few top entrées from the sea. Roasted half chicken, a pork chop and reef burger with garlic frites make great options for those who prefer the “turf.” The presentation on all are beautiful and the complementing accompaniments lovely. End with bread pudding, crème brûlée or chocolate brownie à la mode. With a welcoming feel, Highland Pacific is reeling in the crowds.
