Presley's is a restaurant that's part of the Hotel David Whitney. I would never have known it was there if not for Yelp. Thank you Yelp. Valet parking is available as part of the hotel for $15. Once you walk in the hotel's entrance, don't be surprised if you stop and stare a bit. This is a beautiful, old school lobby. It took a moment for the servers to figure out which one of them was going to wait on us, but after that, it was smooth sailing. My wife's hot honey crispy chicken sandwich was served with a sriracha aïoli, which it only needs if you want extra heat, or if you're like me and you like dipping everything. The sandwich itself wasn't particularly spicy, but it didn't need to be. The sauce meant that it wasn't crispy, but it was so delicious that it hardly mattered. This is a good-sized sandwich, large enough that my wife couldn't finish it. Woo hoo... More for me! Both of us opted to pay the extra $1 to replace chips with crispy fries. Excellent decision. Most French dips that I've had have been something akin to an Arby's sandwich with watgravy. Don't get me wrong. I like Arby's, but I don't want to spend fine dining prices for Arby's. This is a cut above French dips you've likely had before. This is thickly cut steak with real beefy flavor. But, you will want to use this dip. It's gloriously clouded with herbs and chopped onion. And, I could have eaten the bread by itself, too. It's a hearty Dutch cheddar bread. It all came together beautifully. I wanted to savor her every bite, but my appetite got the better of me. I just spent two paragraphs talking about a sandwich. Now that's love. We seriously didn't know the price point here. For some reason, my Yelp isn't showing me dollar ratings. This is definitely a $$$ restaurant. I would love to take my wife back here again for a special occasion. But, I was happy that we got phenomenal food that also filled us up for about $50.

Presley's Kitchen + Bar is truly a standout for anyone looking for a sophisticated yet approachable meal in Detroit. For a solo traveler heading to the airport, the bar seating provides the perfect vantage point to appreciate the fast-paced, efficient service without feeling rushed. Garden and Goat Omelette: This is where the kitchen shines. The combination of creamy goat cheese layered within and sprinkled on top creates a rich texture that complements the savory, sautéed vegetables. The "fluffiness" of the eggs suggests a high level of technical skill behind the line. While the breakfast potatoes are a standard reliable staple, the fresh toast and house jam are the hidden stars, providing a sweet, crisp contrast to the savory omelette. The Atmosphere & Service The staff behind the counter manages the Saturday rush with impressive speed, maintaining a friendly demeanor that makes a solo visit feel intentional rather than just a quick stop. It has that classic Detroit energy--polished but grounded. The "Extra Mile" Touch What really sets this place apart is the hospitality. While lingering over coffee refills before heading to the airport, the staff surprised me with a thank-you bag containing two delicious chocolate chip cookies. It's a thoughtful, high-class gesture that proves they truly understand customer care and the art of the "parting gift." Pro Tip: The Latte Situation If you are used to a larger "Venti" style coffee, the lattes here may seem petite as they are served in traditional, smaller cups. The simple fix? Order two. The quality of the espresso is worth the double order, and it allows you to linger a bit longer before catching your flight.

Immediately the experience wasn't great the but the manager is amazing and redeemed the experience. Our server didn't bring one of our meals out, fries were cold and drinks were wrong. But the manager fixed all of this. We ordered Caesar salads with salmon,truffle fries, burrata, the purse with wine, and a rock and rye old fashioned. All of the food was amazing 10/10. The manager also brought us out a carrot cake which was the best I ever had. We sat outside because it was a nice day and it was fun enjoying the busy street. I will give this place another shot for sure.

PK Chicken Tender Platter

Presley's Kitchen and Bar is a great restaurant bar connected to the David Whitney Hotel. We grabbed seats at the bar and ordered a couple appetizers to share, which turned out to be the perfect move. The spinach, artichoke, and feta dip was served hot and came with warm tortilla chips. When we were down to the last bit of dip, the bartender even brought us a few extra chips so we could finish it off -- a small touch that didn't go unnoticed. We also ordered the PK chicken tender platter, which was perfect for sharing and really hit the spot. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and what stood out most was that they remembered our names when we walked by the next day. It's little things like that that make a place memorable. Definitely more than just a typical hotel restaurant.

Situated in the David Whitney hotel as one of its two bars and definitely it restaurant, Presley's Kitchen & Bar is a great bar to hit up before and after pretty much anything downtown. This is often where I stop walking back to the shuttle from the Lions games and I've never had a bad experience. Walking in from the Woodward side, you are immediately noticing the large modern bar in the center of the restaurant. Aesthetically, Leather seated booth and bar seats mimic the elegance the lobby of the hotel presents, but in a cleaner, leaner model. Being a more cocktail forward bar/restaurant the prices tend to run probably a little higher than typical for these similar items, but the quality and flavors that go into each item is noticeable. I will say, the time I was here for Happy Hour, it was one heck of a deal. Can get a double smashburger and beer for like $20. The food itself is good if not anything that might wow you. You are pretty much guaranteed a solid meal. Service here has always been friendly, but efficiency can be sporadic depending on how busy it is. I would suggest you get your food order ready by the time they ask for your drink order because it might be a while before they come back around. But honestly, expect for that hiccup it's always been a good expererience, although nothing I would go out of my way to get to.

I think my expectations were too high for this place. I've been twice now and the service is not it.. always slow and have an "I don't care" attitude. The interior feels a little cheaply made, but this is also a hotel restaurant so that's to be expected sometimes. The food wasn't bad but it took forever to arrive and wasn't amazing for the cost. I don't know I guess I'm just disappointed with this spot. I'm glad some people like it and I do appreciate that they are open before the work day for breakfast!

Cocktails!

We were in downtown and heard good things about the establishment. Reservations at 6pm on a Friday were not a problem on short notice and when we arrived we were greeted warmly by the host staff. We were given a corner booth right on Woodward with a view of Comerica Park. And although they weren't playing that evening, the streets were full of people enjoying what the city has to offer. We settled in for a round of craft cocktails and all of us enjoyed the creations. My wife had the last word and that's a pretty fun cocktail to have where you get a note from a previous guest and get to leave one for another. Our waitress was attentive as she could be based on what she had going on. For a starter, we tried the Brussel sprouts they were OK. For dinner I had the French dip sandwich and I enjoyed it. The dip wasn't too salty which I really appreciate. Everyone else enjoyed their meals too. We'd certainly come back. Thanks for a good experience.

Shrimp tacos
Chelsea Y.

Absolutely gorgeous venue and great place to get drinks and hang out. Unfortunately the shrimp tacos I got were very average, would not get again for the price. Tortilla chips were also a bit stale. Flour tortillas were also too thick and overpowered the shrimp.

Lobster roll

First thing I noticed was how beautifully laid out the restaurant was and how friendly the staff were from the moment we arrived. Our waitress was extremely knowledgeable about the menu and offered great recommendations. The Elvis French toast was excellent. It was the perfect sweet treat without being overly sweet. I also enjoyed the lobster roll, which was served on a delicious rendition of Texas toast. I typically do not eat cold lobster rolls, and they were happy to warm it for me. My friend ordered the salmon bowl and really enjoyed it as well. There was a small glitch with our order, but the service truly stood out. Our waitress remained extremely attentive, and the manager took time to personally check on us multiple times to make sure everything was made right. We truly appreciated the level of care and attentiveness shown throughout our visit.

My group and I recently dined at Presley's before heading to a concert at Little Caesars Arena, and the location was absolutely perfect for a stress-free pre-show meal. The restaurant itself was cute and inviting, and we loved that it was situated within a nice hotel that boasted lovely holiday decor, which really added a festive touch to our evening! We started with the shared Street Corn Dip, and it was a great choice! It was tasty, and the accompanying tortilla chips tasted noticeably fresh, which we appreciated. For my main course, I ordered the Lobster Roll, and it was the star of the evening--truly very, very good. The lobster was the best thing I ate, and the presentation was excellent (it even had a nice piece of lobster meat on top!). The fries served alongside it were decent. For drinks, I enjoyed a split of La Marca Prosecco, which was delightful. My friends who ordered cocktails found them to be a little on the sweet side, but I certainly enjoyed my Prosecco selection. Finally, the service was speedy and efficient, which is exactly what you need when you have concert timelines to meet. Presley's Kitchen and Bar offers a great downtown dining option, especially if you're looking for a quick, convenient, and well-decorated spot before an event at LCA. Highly recommend the Lobster Roll!

Absolutely NOT! For tasted old and service was just horrible. Never coming back here! It truly wasn't that busy, but service took forever.

In the "D" for Maroon 5 concert at LCA tonite. Walking around the city seeing so much renewed life and activity. Decided to check out Presley's Kitchen & Bar for a cocktail. Great ambiance in this historic property, now a hotel and residences. Service was amazing from the minute we reached the door to our server at the bar. We only had cocktails but they were amazing. Definitely suggest checking them out. Ok so cocktail led to an appetizer......jalapeño Cornbread with whipped butter and local honey... yum

From the time we walked in to everything about this place has my wife and I wanting to come back. It was Valentine's Day yesterday and our waitress was Lainey. She was spot on; one everything she did for us. From prompt service to attention to details. She was great. The food was valentines specials. Unique and very tasty! The ambiance was very nice and clean. Although our table top was loose. It didn't hinder our experience too much. We'll come back another day.

This whole place is such a summer vibe. There is a little something for everyone…read more It was a bit confusing when we first arrived. Here is the lay of the land: Check in at the little red table in the center of the outdoor courtyard if you want "full service". - which means eating and drinking at a table with wait staff. It is not seat yourself at the outdoor tables, like we originally thought. There is a nice sized bar indoors and seating at the bar is first come first served. We ordered several of the small plate "snacks" and I can tell you that the hummus is not to be missed. It is served with (homemade?) tortilla chips that are absolutely addictive. They have lots of choices for wine, beer, and cocktails. Towards the back entrance of the property, there is a drink truck where you can also order "walkaway" food and drinks. Not entirely sure where you sit with the food/drinks you order, as most of the seating seemed reserved for full service. Additionally, there is a photo booth for pics (long line) and Warda Patisserie is right next door and accessible through a garden walkway.

The inside restaurant area is also beautiful. We wanted to sit inside at the bar, so we waited for some seats to open up. If you want to sit outside, all you have to do is order at the bar and they'll serve your drinks in plastic cups for you to take outside. The rhubarb pie punch was so delicious I had to order it twice! Probably one of my favorite cocktails I've ever had. I also ordered the maurixio cattelan, which tasted like ginger ale. For a snack before dinner, we chose to get the burrata and it was so refreshing. The service was great and our bartender was super friendly! The logo with the little lamb is adorable. I bought one of their wine glasses with their logo on it too for just $10.

Had dinner at Bar Pigalle yesterday early evening…read more Highs Service was stellar. Our server was very welcoming and helped to set up our food order into courses that allowed us a very relaxing evening Cocktails were really good. I had a Last Word and it was very well done. The restaurant is decorated very nicely with warm wood trim. The bar area looked stellar and very French-bistro like. I will sit there next time No so Highs Food was good, but just OK. Between the two of us we had the beet salad, burger and steak tartare. Burger was good, but not the best smash burger that I've had. Beet salad was fine, however the cream cheese was a bit overpowering against the orange oil. It was dying for some citrus. Steak tartare was a bit dry, meaning that a small dab of olive oil would have added to the richness and overall mouth feel. I did not really taste the egg although I did see a dab of yolk on the tartare. Needed a bit of salt also to enhance the taste Menu was small, but it did cover a cross section of French bistro dishes. All in all, I thought it was a bit overpriced. So I will have to consider returning for a full meal. I would come back for a burger and beer at the bar.
